The Poolie Bunker

Is going for the play offs will they ever learn ? How many times have i seen them come out in the media with this shit. At least Humphreys on talksport last night said that were looking at the teams below us not above. But oh no mr Wilson says were looking at the play offs

aye, heard that nonsense meself earlier on....crackers man

Youse won't be saying that when we do Cheltenham 3-0 today!

i'm sorry but your the one talking nonsense.

Every teams aim is to win the league at the start of the season, even if it is unrealistic.

The way we have played this season suggests we have no chance of playoffs but we have to at least aim for them while the possibility is still there.

Would you be happy if DW came out and said he is hoping to finish 20th?

Of course you wouldnt.

Its only Media talk, i'm sure DW and the players know what is needed from them for the rest of the season, but there is nowt wrong with aiming high

I'm with you Mr B, Wilson is just talking the talk, like all football managers tend to do

well of course its just paper talk but its unreasonable, its the equivalent of Steve Bruce or Southgate or Keegan or Keane or some other shit team saying we can still reach the Champions League places.

Those managers say stuff like if we get X amount of points we can stave off relegation-owt else is a bonus....
thats what Wilson should be saying at the moment. yes were in a scrap, lets fight to get out of it and once we do lets see what we can after...

surely to shite they know the true situation regarding our League position???????????? I'm not bothered what he says to the papers etc, I just want reassuring that he's not oblivious to the fact that we might actually yet go down if we're not careful!!!!

but its not unrealistic to dream of the playoffs though, is it Salty?

Sunderland et al have NO chance of getting to the champions league places. We are only 6 points away from the playoffs (if we win game in hand) Wilson has stated in an interview a week or so ago that we are in a precarious posistion so yes, he is aware of our predicament. But a positive attitude is much better than a negative one, although personally i think the best we can hope for is to be top of the bottom half after 46 games

of course not! but reality bites at some point

Wilson can be as positive as he likes but if our players can't get 3 points away from home today then he's wasting his breath.

To get in the mix with the play offs we need at least 33-35 points. We have 15 games left to play. Decide amongst yourselves whether we are good enough to get that many points from 15 games. I know what I think our chances are.....

Why don't they just shut the fook up about the play-offs and concentrate on actually showing some steel away from home for once. They haven't won back to back games since the fourth game of the season it's one step forward and two steps back. Lads shut up about the play-offs it's embarrassing we haven't got to 50 points yet, far from it. Win three or four in row then we will maybe speak of them, but otherwise keep your thoughts to yourselves please.
