But we are four points behind Cardiff, to beat them we need to win a lot of games, and Cardiff must drop points. To beat Fulham we "only" have to win our own games. Good form for Cardiff, 2 points pr game, and they end on 93 points. Thats 6 wins, draw 2 and lose 2. They have 5 "difficult" games left, including Brentford away. This can be done for Cardiff. To beat 93 points Fulham have to win the rest of their games. One draw and they finish on 93 points. Can be done, but what a run they would need. for us to finish on 93 points we need 24 points. 8 wins or 7 wins and draw 3. I guess we ends around 91 points, 6 wins, lose one and draw 3. If so Fulham will still struggle to beat us, but Cardiff are the bigger threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) If Wolves somehow failed to win this week, while we win our game. Things will look interesting. If somehow the gap is less than 3 points.,Then the Cardiff-Wolves game could go either way. Assuming that, we could improve our GD with Wolves and we would need to have the better results in 3 games. So that would mean making up the 4 GD isnt the issue. But have Fulham played Cardiff? Or not yet? Edited March 11, 2018 by abdulaziz1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Cardiff just keep getting results. It's frustrating. It's getting really tough now. 4 points isn't much to make up but it looks more and more every time they win. If they don't have a bad run of games, we're probably looking at a cutthroat promotion playoff against Fulham. It's getting pretty tense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of their fans are worried as they think they are just scraping through against the weaker teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting pretty tense. 3 of those points will come when we beat them - then only one to catch up as we've already overhauled the goal difference. At some point one of us, Cardiff and Fulham will crack. Hopefully not us and we seem to be peaking at the right time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 We have a better goal difference than Cardiff and Fulham which helps. We have a few easier fixtures coming up where we should look to add to that. I really dont see Brentford getting anything out of Cardiff. Nor Derby. Wolves-Cardiff drawing and us beating Cardiff will make it really interesting. Especially if Wolves slip up to Boro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Watching the game now. Never thought I'd watch a re-run of a Championship game Shame I missed the game live as it seems like it was a humdinger , but I was working a 12 h shift at the restaurant. Once again we are very much doing our part, just got to hope that one of the teams above us slips up more than we do in the run in. Really like to avoid the lottery of the play off.

Certainly Cardiff are more likely to win, but if they're going to slip up away at Brentford is one of the more likely games for it to happen. They're good at home and looked very unlucky in defeat at Millwall yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Cardiff should drop plenty of points in their run in. Its Fulham who look unstoppable to me. Its just on us to keep winning, we can with a fully fit squad. But thats the big if. Anyway, 1 game at a time. Beat QPR tuesday and we have our 4 point cushion over Fulham back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 5 hours ago, Eastie said: Yes but after 3 games we had 1 point they had 9 - so over the last 33 games we are above them by one point still . Cardiff actually won their first five games so they pretty much had a 10 point head start over us from the start of September. That's the main problem with giving teams a bit lead, you catch them up and then they start winning again and just extend the lead. We'll probably find that with trying to catch Wolves. As I said to a guy on the train on the way back from the game it's hard enough trying to get above Cardiff, never mind trying to catch Wolves.

They lost 10k fans from the moment they changed to red shirts for that one season apparently and maybe of them won't come back until Vincent Tan sells up regardless of how well they do on the pitch.

Its all the same thing though. We may find that in trying to overtake Cardiff we actually catch Wolves first, unlikely, but possible. All we can do is win as many games as possible! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond that, I really don’t care about anyone but Cardiff, or the mental state of those Cardiff will play. I want all their opponents either buzzing with confidence or fighting for their lives. If we take care of our own business Cardiff is the only obstacle to promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see villa and Fulham going unbeaten in the last 10 games of the season - I simply cannot see Cardiff doing so. Therfore for me fulham are the bigger worry to me - but each to their own .
