Keep fulham and boro out of the playoffs and I feel pretty confident. 

Wouldn’t worry about boro - Millwall a bigger threat than them .

Fulham will get 2nd and we should be able to beat any of the others in the play offs if we turn up

Knowing Villa we will beat Leeds Friday and both Cardiff and Fulham will lose this weekend, only for us to get turned over by Ipswich next week after giving us another glimmer of hope! 

With regards to the playoffs. I’d fancy us against anyone apart from Fulham, so I’m hoping they bag second now.

That is exactly what will happen. Its so Villa to do that

What is pretty annoying is barring this weekend Fulham play the Friday so they have the les pressure of having to win. Millwall vs Fulham is going to be a very interesting

It’s both annoying and ridiculous. I’m finding myself wanting Fulham to lose, but only if Cardiff are already losing because it’s still technically possible for us to do it, however unlikely.

But at the same time I want Fulham to win if Cardiff are also winning.

Football, eh?

Derby (A) D 1 84                    
Hull (A) D 1 85   Derby (H) W 3 85   Sunderland (H) W 3 85
Reading (H) W 3 88   Millwall (A) W 3 88   Birmingham City (A) W 3 88

Reading the last couple of pages it looks like as long as we aren’t at Home or Away 1st or 2nd leg, and as long as we either keep playing our best 11 for momentum or change things for a rest, we will be fine.....

..........as long as we avoid either Fulham, Cardiff, Boro, Millwall, Derby, Bristol, Sheffield United and Brentford. And Preston.

Splendid.

 

Best case scenario is for us to finish out of the play offs like last year and spare ourselves the tension.

We still believe.

It's coming home......

 

But i still see that tackle by Moore (Stefan)

And when Luc Nilis scored

Bosko belting the ball

And Nobby (Solano) dancing

One lion on a shirt

Jules Reme Garde's still gleaming.

We can beat any team over two legs (except Fulham), and will beat anyone on that big Wembley pitch (except Fulham).

Feeling very good about this.

Did you see us against Brentford?

I was actually at the game, we had so many injuries...Adomah even came off after 20 mins and we had an attacking trio of Onomah, Hogan and ELMo.

Difference is now we have basically everyone back, and Kodija is looking sharper by the week.....Imagine a starting front 4 of Kodija, Grealish, Snod and Adomah on that big wembley pitch.

Remaining fixtures for those below us in the hunt for play off positions.

Derby

Burton (a), Boro (h), Cardiff (h), Villa (a), Barnsley (h) 

Millwall 

Sheff Utd (a), Fulham (h), Boro (a), Villa (h)

Boro 

Bristol (h), Derby (a), Millwall (h), Ipswich (a)

Bristol 

Boro (a), Hull (h), Forest (a), Sheff Utd (h)

Sheff Utd

Millwall (h), Small Heath (a), Preston (h), Bristol (a)

I think it will be Derby and whomever wins the match between Boro and Millwall. Although there are five matches where two of those five teams play each other so plenty of potential twists and turns yet.

*I didn’t include Brentford as I want to believe we have a chance of winning these play offs.
