Win on Wednesday and I really will believe there is a sniff of top six but

Looking at their form and looking at our injuries I am of the view that Wednesday might be a game too far for us at present.

Although it was a good result, I thought we were a bit ropey at times on Saturday and I am particularly not that impressed by the Darling/Cordoba combo (coupled with Kov never coming off his line for crosses) in comparison to when we have Ruari there. Preston actually ha 4 very good chances in that game and Shef U had a few too. Feel we are riding our luck at the back a bit and Southampton may punish us.

Still the good thing is that with PC at the helm you never know and him bringing that feeling back is already enough for me this season............

    - We spent the most we ever had last time we were promoted I think? (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Mar 16, 10:05:47
      - Maybe, but on a net basis it was feck all given how much came in from the Buendia sale (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 10:15:08

    - We need to win every game (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 16, 11:06:22
      - Yes I agree its unlikely but Wrexham have 9 left. Assuming say 1.5 points per game (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 16, 15:10:02
