useless Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) A few weeks back when Brentford had a chance to climb into the top two they lost their nerve and went five games without a win which has probably cost them any chance of going up automatically, when another gap opens up between them and second place they suddenly find their form and finally win again, their first win in six games.

VillaChris Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Leeds have got over the worst now. Still got to play Luton, Charlton, Barnsley and Stoke at home. Win three of those and think that will be enough as Fulham will struggle to get to 80 points with what they have left. If they don't make top 2 it will be a worse collapse than last season as I imagine Sheffield United were closer to them than Fulham were at this stage last season. Edit: Just checked....Leeds were two points clear of Sheffield United at this point last season so much more of a knife edge than it is now.

WakefieldVillan Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Unfortunately it's going to be Leeds and West Brom promoted which always looked the likeliest outcome for me, can see the former winning the title now they've well and truly overcome their annual blip! I think Fulhams experience will see them win the play-offs but I hope it's someone else. A Brentford vs Fulham final would be a good spectacle! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 The only problem for Leeds is that they're one of these teams that can look to be going well, then they'll lose a game that no one is expecting them to and they then go on a bad run of form. They're away to Cardiff next, all it would take is for them to lose that and for Fulham to win at home to Brentford and suddenly they're only four points clear of Fulham with Fulham to come to Elland Road the following Wednesday. Basically if Fulham can win their next two, espcially the game against Leeds then I think it puts them back in contention, but then again it would be typical of this season for them to win those games, and then go and lose to either Queens Park Rangers or small heath.

On the plus side, if we do go down, a league without Leeds and Baggies will be much easier to get promoted in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. I think if bournmouth went down howe would leave and all their star playera be gone so they wouldnt be a threat. West ham would though so be bwtter of we were to go down west ham stay up. I think norwich will be up there as they have some decent players and in good financial shape. If we went down in teems of coming back up at first attempt id say be better of it was us bournmouth and norwich. Brighton with the lokes of maupay an dmpoy would come straight back up so best they stay up to. But i definitely want to stay up. A pl seaosn with us wba and wolves be great for midlands football. Would love it leeds imploded again but cant see it. They have a very easy run in and the teams around them are garbage. If fulham had a half decent manager they would have won the league Parker is pants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno they were facing a huge fine and points deduction. Think other teams be pissed down there if got away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly sure it's a 3 year period, so doubt you can punish a team for something they did 6 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Bournemouth will crumble whenever Eddie Howe leaves. Think Charlton after Curbishley left in May 2006. They were in league one by the 2009-10 season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Leeds can't possibly be promoted because I have it on good authority that Bielsa teams don't last an entire season!!!1122 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Middlesbrough losing 3-0 at home to Swansea, not even half-time yet, they're only two points above the drop zone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
