U'd think you would get at least a couple by accident in that time Glenn Whelan and Cattermole scored recently and had similar enough droughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard to sustain back to back challenges for promotion- look at Reading and Shef Wed this year. This is our golden chance to go up- if not we could be down here for a good few years with all momentum lost again. Added to the fact that there will be stronger teams coming down with even more money than before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 QPR Bolton Hull and Norwich. Even 4 points from that shower of shit and we are in the running for second now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept that and hope we start again from scratch with completely new setup of management and coaches. Happy to stay in the league for several years if something big is built for the future.

pete101 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Resting key players at this point should give us huge advantage going into playoffs, I'd be giving chester and grealish a rest in next few games to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardiff still have a game in hand, final 3 games are Derby, Hull & Reading. They only need to win 2 of these 3 easy games to get to 92 points which is more than Fulham can get if they win both of their games, so Cardiff can even afford a slip up and still get 2nd.

Junxs Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Just looking at the table I have realised if Cardiff beat Derby on tuesday night then mathematically we can no longer get 2nd Would be tempting for Bruce to rest all the star players for the final 2 games, though I think theres a new rule where you have to field a certain number of players that played the previous game (after what Huddersfield did last year). Can just image us getting the calculations wrong meaning we have to play some numpties in the first leg of the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can just image us getting the calculations wrong meaning we have to play some numpties in the first leg of the playoffs I'm not sure how exactly that rule works. Surely you can just say, "sorry x,y&z player all picked up knocks in training and we don't want to risk them. Here's a note from the club doctor, wink, wink" How can they prove a player wasn't injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can just image us getting the calculations wrong meaning we have to play some numpties in the first leg of the playoffs Could we rest half of the team against Derby (say Chester, Jedinak, Jack, Grabban, Johnstone and Taylor) along with the other ones as well against Millwall so that we don't play any of our usual starters in the last game? That might also help both Derby and Millwall into the playoffs which might not prove to be a bad thing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing i dont get is if cardiff do win all three how they are not getting fatigue. We have looked jaded alot more with a bigger squad than them. Cardiff ate getting second guys. Fulham blew it against Brentford. 20 minutes ago, John said: Could we rest half of the team against Derby (say Chester, Jedinak, Jack, Grabban, Johnstone and Taylor) along with the other ones as well against Millwall so that we don't play any of our usual starters in the last game?

I think we could get in trouble with ego but I do agree about resting players Terry should play next week as could be final league game at home. Rest jedinak and Chester next week Give some game time to brew and lansbury 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather like us winning lots of games and competing. The championship is such entertainment even if most teams can't play like man city. I get that argument and if we kept relatively the same squad I’d agree but I think failure this season will lead to a lot more cutbacks and this for me is our best chance of promotion this year, I think next year would be much harder . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danishlad Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 There can't be a rule saying that players have to play, surely that is up to the manager. If the players need a rest , they should be rested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should try some brew from somewhere else others then Barnsley you might find better ones. Feels good for once to have fun with someone else's typos for once. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted April 22, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 22, 2018 Just had a quick look at the stats for the season ... Grabban joint top of the goal scorer charts (50% of credit for 19 goals, tied with Vydra and Reid) Snodgrass joint top of the assists chart (14 tied with Wolves Douglas) Largest attendance (41,233 against Small Heath) and even top of the fair play league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
