Eastie Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 46 minutes ago, Vive_La_Villa said: They are like Leicester. Everyone is saying they will drop off eventually but they keep winning. They have a great team spirit. We had made up 10 points in 10 games on them up until last week when they won 4 in 10 so they are not that great A team spirit - they lost 4 in a row on that run . now we have slipped up and they have got on a run again - we must do our job and get the required points - Cardiff will have another bad run looking at their fixtures . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 There will be plenty of twists and turns and surprise results along the way for all the teams in the top 6 - who will handle the pressure in the tickly bit - time will tell ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 None of the teams we are competing against look special....even Wolves are now dropping points. Cardiff are looking strong with Marko Gruic in the middle.... We just have to make sure WE are doing our bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Well I thought Artists ,paint but when I checked your squad, there was no Constable, Picasso or Leonardo di Vinci.....playing for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise they have turned it on since he came into the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy81 Posted February 22, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted February 22, 2018 Last night was a bit of a kick in the balls for us. I wasn't there, but our keeper is really letting us down at the moment. I'm not worried about promotion, but the title is a little more in doubt now. When we kick off on Saturday the gap will probably only be six points, and you all know how hard Fulham away is at the moment. After that we still have to play Villa and Cardiff away, and Derby at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this continues as we could really do with you joining the pack. Cant see it though, you are too good to have a repeat of the last 6.

The only thing in our favour now is that games are running out. Villa in third are 13 points behind us with 13 to play, so you'd have to gain a point a game on us for the rest of the season, which is possible, but a bit of a tall order. Just noticed that you have to play Cardiff still, that could be huge for you. Cardiff still have to play us as well, and we'll want the title, so with any luck we'll help each other out!

Our oppurtunity was missed by losing to Fulham and dropping points against Preston, had we won both games we would only be 8 points behind by now. That said, it is safe to say we can now definately write off chasing 1st as we just seem too inconsistent to realistically maintain a strong challenge for 1st, we now need to battle again to claw back 2nd. Very frustrating but we just have to keep plugging on. Edited February 22, 2018 by AvfcRigo82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, too many twists and turns in this league. There have been all season and it will continue to be right to the wire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Last year Newcastle and Brighton run away with it. This year Wolves have been far better than the rest of us I must admit I did think we would be putting more of a challenge to Wolves before a ball had been kicked 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
