Not Impossible,but.......
The chance is still there to make the 'play-offs' but certainly relying on others to hit a rough patch and Blues to win especially with three home games coming up.
Definately need Cardiff, Ipswich and Sheff Wed to slip up, Derby and the others I feel will have no problems and Burnley are making it look easy.
I know every team wants one but Blue's lacking a real genuine 'goalscorer' a predator who has that instinct that last minute 'toe poke' would make the difference,and perhaps a bit more 'mongrel' in the team at large.
Its a League as we know that at times on any given day the least likely happens take Rotherham on Saturday 3-0 down to Derby and come back to 3-3.and as much as I want Blues to make it I think Sheff Wed will hold their nerve and get 6th spot.
KRO.

Inclined to agree; I think Sheffield are pretty good.
Donaldson seems to have gone back a step since last year I think and the manager is not giving others a real chance to take the role.

Well, it does look like we're running out of steam. But when you look at the teams in the current top six, we really are running on a shoestring - so maybe a top half finish is the best we can hope for.
Certainly in the 60s, when the Coombs family came in, we were buying some pretty flash players - Barry Bridges, Fred Pickering, Graham Leggat, and never got promoted - and then under the **** barons we got a whole lot of good players in, but it wasn't until Brucie took over that we finally made it. So even if we don't make the playoffs, it looks to me as though GR has done the best with a pretty ordinary hand. (And let's remember what it was like under Lee Clark!)

The Coombs era was good for us.
