So, I won't take a fulham draw now. (of course I'll take it afterwards if it happens, because I'll have no choice, then.) I think Cardiff are all fur coat and no knickers - can’t see them lasting the pace when we get to the tickly bit as Bruce calls it .

But Cardiff are right in it on points now, and looking at the opponents left to play, I think they have a relatively easy ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 After 6 games we were 10 points behind Cardiff. If you want my opinion we should fear no team. Fulham included. Keep it professional, run every blade of grass relentlessly into the ground, play to our strengths and we can beat any team in this division. Consistently. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I'm going to miss the championship if/when we get promoted. It's such a shame that the money in football means promotion is pretty much do or die, but i guess that's a debate for the 'footballs gone thread' in other football..

We said that about Leicester though mate. I know it's different circumstances, and i also acknowledge that it was a once it a lifetime thing, but winning is a habit and they are doing the winning thing a lot.

Consistently. We have known this all season Doug, shame it took until January before it actually 'came together'. But since then, yes we have been absolutely fabulous and I do not see us slowing down anytime soon. Better late than never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just looked looked at their fixtures and think they have 10 tough games in there including 7 0f the top 10 and wolves derby villa and Bristol city , boro and sheff utd - they have a really tough run in in my opinion.

Not as much as we are on current form though , whereas we have won 7 in 7 they have won 3 in their last 9 league games . eleven points from their last 9 games looks not great against our 21 from 7 Edited February 15, 2018 by Eastie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things considered i think we are favourites for 2nd, i just don't necessarily buy into the notion that Cardiff are going to fall away.
