Wolves haven't won this yet & anyone down to QPR can make the play-offs They were also 9 points ahead of before the Boro game. It's a crazy league.

terrytini Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Despite some thinking the bottom has fallen out of our world, last 7 games Form for the Top 6 is Cardiff 17 Points Fulham 17 Points Villa 16 Points Wolves 12 Pounts Derby 10 Points Bristol 7 Points. Not exactly failing, in my view. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure as long as Grealish returns soon we will be back to our best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post markavfc40 Posted February 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I think tonight was a great example of how tough the Championship is. A top of the table Wolves at home to a mid table Norwich and get a draw. A fourth in the table Derby at home to a mid table out of sorts Leeds and get a draw. Our task last night against a Preston side still well in the mix for the play offs on an excellent run of one defeat in 16 was probably the toughest game of those the top four had to play and whilst I expected to win a point isn't a poor result in the context of what happened in the other games. We now have 13 games to gain 4 points on Cardiff including a home game against them. All to play for.

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 10 of our remaining 13 games are against teams below 10th. @BOF get your spreadsheet out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa82 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 When Fulham have played Preston by the 10th of march they only plays teams from 10th and below. We still have to play wolves, Cardiff and Derby. Need a gap on them. Cardiff have 4 games vs low position teams at the end of the season, after they play us. But at the end of the season its better to play a team safe of relegation, but no hope of promotion, than play a side fighting for their life. But in the championship not many teams are in that position 2-4 games before the season ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 1 hour ago, terrytini said: Funny how us drawing last night was catastrophic yet tonight the mighty Wolves, Derby, Bristol City, And Fulham have done the same. Maybe draws just happen and maybe there’s lots of permutations for ALL involved. You mean Wolves - who are 2 or 3 points ahead of everybody else, can even lose a couple and still win the League? Derby, who are one point behind us, and have done extremely well to climb up the table from where they were? Bristol City who are punching above weight, and Fulham who have been on fire for a few weeks on end to get within touching distance? I don't get how this has any bearing on our dreadful performance, set up, tactics or pissing away of 3 points. If we miss out on automatic promotion do we get the points any of those dropped as a bonus? Go away Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted February 21, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2018 What makes our push for the playoffs so amazing is that our players are actually artists. However this season they have slacked off their day job and have been told to pull their finger out. The result is we have started drawing much more often.

GingerCollins29 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Warnock makes bruce look like the tactically inept manager he is. Both of them are 'dinosaurs' according to some on here, yet look where cardiff are with a shoestring budget - they keep winning. We have spent extraordinary amounts for a championship team, yet two players get injured and we crumble. If we get top 2 i would be stunned. Im sure we will finish top 6, but wont get past the semis as we cannot handle pressure against the top sides. We have historically been bottlers in our recent history which i fear is yet to continue under bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I despise Warnock and the way he has sent his players out to injure the opposition in the past. If he rocked up at Villa I would just fade away until he was sacked. Which maybe a bonus to my fellow fans Edited February 21, 2018 by ciggiesnbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting if they don't go up as I think this is their last season with parachute payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
