The inability to sustain good periods of play should be on TMs headstone.
So few games during his whole tenure where we have done that.

I agree, but once the players are out on the pitch, I simply feel the responsibility is switched to them.

Well, what can anyone say, really? It's like football is designed to make a mug out of you!
When we started well, but Nyambe missed an easy chance, I thought that was it.
Odd when you think about it.
Graham scores a tap-in, and Armstrong gets a screamer. It sums up the difference between their styles, I suppose. We made Cardiff look quite ordinary in the second half.
Robin - I think I'd rather predict something to do with quantum physics than Rovers' results!

Don't I know it!! That certainly made me eat my own words. I actually watched the 2nd half, and glad I did. Everything we had done in the last 3 games, suddenly changed. Even my mate Samuel who missed a few chances was dragged down for a pen!! But even when it was not given, got up and scored. Something Gallagher appears incapable of. Travis was superb, as was Johnson who finally shaped up for once. We wont get in, but its really opened up that top 6 now. Armstrong took his goal so well, he seemed back close to his best again. I bet we go and beat West Brom now to really tease us all.
Football, it's all guesswork .........

I meant to mention Johnson too. He sums up our season and our team. Puts in a brilliant performance about once every five matches!

Without Dack being around, 2 players are the key to us playing well. If they are both 'on it' more usually follow. Travis and Armstrong. If they are confident then we stand a chance. Cardiff don't have anyone as good as them 2, and once the second half kicked in, it showed. Johnson and Travis where doing something we haven't done in weeks. They where both ahead of the ball, happy to leave Downing holding. The one who made such a huge difference was Joe Rankin Costello. I really do think of all our young players (after Trav) he will be the real next star. Left back won't really be his position, but he is a much better option than Bennett. While we have so many injuries in midfield, I feel Bennett should only be used in midfield for the remaining games, if Joe can stay fit. I'm starting to think both Bell & Williams are dead and we won't ever see them again.

It's so odd, as we where totally out of the running, then one win and it sort of changes again. Those 3 defeats mean we now have no room for error. We would have to win all 4 remaining games and rely on Cardiff (who play Fulham & Derby next) Swansea, Derby and PNE all dropping points. If we draw on sat, its over. But it would be nice to finish the season strongly.

I don't think the play-off place is realistic now, but stranger things have happened.

I would say it's pretty much impossible.
We need 4 out of 4,while the above lose 2 out of 4.
Once it's out of your hands,its a tough ask.

we just lost 3 in a row, it is now possible to win 3 on the bounce, carrying on tomorrow.
Then we would go into the final game with everything to play for.

We have west brom at home(tough)
Millwall(away)tough
Reading(home)should be ok
Luton(away)should be easy but form against promoted sides is poor.
Alot to ask to get 4 wins out of 4.
Not impossible but tough when expecting sides to drop points at the same time.
Build on a push next season is the answer.
