    Could be anyone from about 19th upwards. We have to make sure that we don't play them!

    Whoever gets the 6th spot will have to go on such a run that they will be so inform that they will probably win it!!

    I think the Gills have enough to suggest they might get there?

    Barnsley have 5 straight wins and are the form side

    Posh have picked up since Fergie Jr went

    Bradford have many games to play which might count against them

    Bradford are only one game behind the pack and on same as Sheff Utd and PNE. So hopefully PNE falter by the same philosophy.

    Bradford are running out of steam
    Gillingham have a good manager but don't have the players to win a Play Off Final
    MK Dons are going backwards the same as they do every season. Robinson is long overdue to be sacked I reckon
    Sheff Utd are inconsistent
    Swindon will blow it

    Port Vale, Fleetwood, Rochdale, Chesterfield - no chance

    Barnsley for me all the way

    IF Sheffield United make the Play Offs they'll win it.

    Sheffield Utd need to look over their shoulders.

    Since Ferguson Junior left Peterborough they've been in great form and are hot on the heels of 6th place and are just 1 point behind Sheffield Utd

    Will be interesting to see how Preston do in their next two games - home to Posh (4 wins on the trot) and away to Barnsley (6 wins on the trot) . If results go against them they could well be brought back into the mix!!

    The door to the single flight of stairs has been opened, no more distractions of FA cup glory. I think even if DF was in charge POSH would have been contenders for 6th.
    WE ARE NOT NOW TALKING 6TH we are talking 5th AND 6th

    IT IS NOT NOW A FIGHT FOR 2nd BY 3 TEAMS BUT 4 TEAMS the outsiders are MKD mathematically from their point of view they can still do it but a from a general point of view they will struggle to get 2nd.
    SAME ARGUMENT FOR THE TOP 3 TEAMS ONLY..

    THERE IS 6 TEAMS FIGHTING FOR 5th AND 6th Rochdale seemed to have it a few games ago along with Sheff, and Oldham were likely with Junior in charge.. whereas Barnsley have done well can they maintain it???

    TUESDAY night is a big night with 3 very important games and 3 other games of importance regarding teams future prospects and I don't include CITY..

    So are you predicting them to come up behind us now? And I would guess winning a playoff final would make them happy. Be silly really getting to Wembley and saying "you know what, I would be disappointed if we won this"

    Boycie I'm starting to think you're more like Trigger <laugh>

    Sheffield Utd have had a long hard season with their cup involvements, so if I were Cloughie Junior I'd be very wary of the teams right behind them who are bang in form at this time of year such as Barnsley and Peterborough

    thjere are 6 possibly 9 ( Rochdale 2 games in hand ) who can make the 2 positions in the PO zone... Sheffield are past masters at missing the boat... will they do it again?
