Why on earth are people writing off the playoffs?

5 points behind with 19 games to go. Very doable indeed if our players can perform even close to their ability for the remainder of the season, even if we sell Brady as well and even with a sh*t manager at the helm. We've still got a team capable of p**sing all over any of those teams from 3rd to 7th if they are motivated and I think when it comes to the playoffs and the lad up thereto if we are in with a shout then they would be motivated regardless of what has gone before. See Hull last season for how players can suddenly find their mojo when the playoffs come around.
