Demitri_C Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Fulham are massively destroying this league. They seem to play better against the better sides and drop points against the poorer teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Anyone know when Cardiff are playing the Brentford game? If it's next week you're looking at them having a run next 6 weeks of: Brentford (A) Derby (A) Sheffield United (A) Wolves (H) Villa (A) Norwich (A) Lots of tough away games there. They are only beating bottom half teams by a single goal. They will surely drop points in a few of those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Basically wrap Jack in bubble wrap in training and pray he stays fit. We have a serious chance if he can stay fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 The good thing is we are five points ahead of derby and we have a game in hand so we could be eight points if we win next two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose a game and you ideally want an easier game to bounce back. For example like we did against Wolves season in season. With that run of games they could easily lose or draw against Brentford and then hit a bad patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so they have a run of Brentford and Derby away, Burton at home, Sheffield United away, Wolves home and then us and Norwich away. I'd be pretty disappointed if we're not above them by that Norwich game (we play Leeds on the Friday). Then we have to see what Fulham are doing of course....

Can see a few draws and hopefully a defeat to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really "massively destroying" in my book. They're doing well, but have to rely on others throwing away the automatic spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Still so much of snow his league to go. No one is going to go unbeaten the rest of the season. We just have to hope, we lose the least. Very exciting league this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We managed a massive 3 points from the equivalent fixtures. With 2 to play. Edited March 6, 2018 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted March 6, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2018 If we beat Wolves it will be a real kick in the knackers to Fulham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I think 90 or 91 points should be enough. If Fulham manage to reach this, then they deserve to go up. That would mean only dropping 4 points from now until the end of the season. If that happens it would be one of the greatest runs in the Championship ever I'd imagine. For us, it simply means 2 ppg which was always our target and which we have always been on since our awful start. I think we have the best chance of the 3 teams fighting for second. And who knows, Wolves might get dragged into it too. I'm not sweating it at all. One of the most exciting seasons in a decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing out of your skins but making up no/little ground on the teams above is very demoralizing and pressurizing, as you know one slip up and the teams above will pull away again. Like us when we went on that unbeaten streak last season and made no dent on the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
