ciggiesnbeer Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) We have no reason to fear anyone in this league and although there are several very good managers in the playoffs Bruce is probably the best qualified.

But if the Villa that beat Wolves turns up then we'll win. I'd like to agree but I can't I'm afraid - Wolves have been the best team in this league by a country mile for most of this season - however right now I would back Fulham to beat them over two legs they are really flying and have come to the party with incredible timing imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then hopefully our experience will come in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big question is will that Villa turn up? I'm not massively confident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use different devices etc. Tablet, Mobile, and Laptop, each will be left with the last comment you made from the device. So for instance if the last time you commented/quoted on a particular device will be left on it even if you are now quoting on another device. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tried to delete this quite on my android phone and you simply can't do it. In fact, you can get into a state like I just did where I can't even add any text in. It doesn't let you select properly. And yes, as you say, it remembers what you were trying to do across sessions meaning you can't ever get rid of the quote box! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big question is will that Villa turn up? I'm not massively confident. I'm more confident now than I would have been at any point in the past 6 years. Our record in 'big' games has gotten better as the season has gone on, starting with Middlesboro away, Sheff Utd away, Bristol City, Wolves and Cardiff at home. Most of those games were also screened live and our record of performing in front of the cameras has definitely gotten better. As has been highlighted on numerous occasions, it's been our inability to win games we should have won that's let us down ultimately (Bolton, Hull, Norwich and QPR). I think we have big occasion players, Terry for sure, Grealish was immense in the semi-final vs Liverpool a few years back and I think others will rise to it too. Not saying I think we will definitely win the playoffs but I'm not concerned by the prospect of playing big/good teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a capability to beat anyone but we also have one to lose badly. When we have a stinker we have a bad one. After watching Millwall hammer Fulham for 20 min I don’t think we’d have got throughout at nil nil so having Boro might be better for us. Physical sides are more of a threat than footballing ones for us. Hopefully we’ll have an idea after this weekend who we will play but bring it on. We can smash anyone at Villa Park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when there's no pressure we **** up, like Norwich, Bolton and early season results. Fulham away was a bad one, but there was plenty of the season after that, and that was just as the Fulham behemoth was starting to roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this season we've actually been better against Fulham (in both games) than we have against Cardiff. Even when we lost 2-0 to Fulham, they weren't dominant at all (although were comfortable after their 2nd) and we were missing Grealish, Adomah etc. Pretty sure their 2nd goal was a goalkeeper error punished from 40 yards or so, too. Obviously a very good team, but nothing to fear really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously a very good team, but nothing to fear really. Difficult to argue against anything here... having said that, Fulham have only gone from strength to strength even after that game. I'm not saying we have to downright fear them, but we should at least be wary. Their only blimp since Dec 16 has been the recent draw against Brentford. Looking at this objectively, I still think it's unlikely we'll beat them, should we need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, most games I have seen us lose had more to do with us being absolute turd as a pose to the other team being brilliant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
