MONCABA Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Fulham still have difficult run in. I'm not ruling out finishing 2nd just yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I must admit Boro scare me a little bit. Just because it looks like Adama is putting it together and if he tears our slow, old backline to pieces it will be devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay, he'll rip through us then pony it to nobody and the danger will pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats the point we have not turned up to none of those games, if we did I suspect it would be a different story over two legs We have beaten the top three teams at Villa Park so we have shown we can beat anyone at home in this league. i don't think it would be Brentford anyhow but I would rather play them than Millwall/Boro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha fair play. How many many games have we lost at Villa Park though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have milwall, Brentford, SHA and Sunderland left. Our run in is much harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said, 2 derbies and 2 teams fighting to stay in the league, all it takes is a bit of bad luck and us winning and we’re back in it. Please Note: This opinion is subject to what happens tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Do our business tonight and then it's wait and see. Would be great to keep that flicker of hope alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might lose at Millwall and at Small Heath on the last day of the season with Bloose possibly needing a win to stay up. They might, but it is highly unlikely they would and if it came to the last game Bloose would probably prefer to go down than run the risk helping us to go up. Of course even if that did happen we would need to win each and every one of our last four matches and Cardiff would need to continue their current losing run. Fingers crossed.

imavillan Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Bought todays Racing Post and in the football section they highlight 'bogey' teams Interesting to see both Fulham and Cardiff in there. As they say 'you never know' Stranger things have happened!!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take derby as an example when we lost 2 nil because it's one that sticks in my mind. They did a great job of completely nullifying our attacking play with a few tweaks to their defence to the extent that we looked clueless going forward. This wasn't us not turning up but rather them not allowing us to. This is what Brentford have done to us 4 games in a row, only better as it suits their attacking game too. We can't be so single minded that it's only us that matters. It's for this reason I'd take any of the other teams [bar fulham] over them. Its because the top teams will come to play their own game which we can handle, it' the ones that that use their brains that we have trouble with.

They only scored because a completely idiotic mistake by whelan. I actually think we were pretty poor in how bruce set us up in that game. We didn't take the game to them at all just like the wolves away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't derby the game where we played with no strikers and Onomah as our most attacking player? Wouldn't take much tweaking to stop that set up. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
