We can beat anyone, but can be beaten by anyone too. In my humble opinion the squad has too many samey players.....with the exception of Samba we have no one who can mix the ugly stuff....Jedinak to me looks slow and lumbering now, injuries caught up with him I suspect....most of these teams that unsettle us have one or two 6' 3/4 physically adapted players that get under our skin and disrupt us. If a team gets in our faces , we struggle.......to have a plan B you need players who can dramatically change things, I don't think we have......what we do is change the bowler, but we don't change the bowling. I thought JT had a poor game last night , made me wonder if he will maybe call it a day after this season . Jedinak is ok against certain teams - last night should have been barney tho as more legs and less ponderous. from home games with millwall, brentford , sheff weds and qpr we have taken 2 points from 12.

Automatics is long gone now. I hope not, we'd get passed off the park imo. I'd fancy beating Cardiff, as long as we stop them getting in behind, but the way Fulham play football, I think we'd get done over on that massive pitch.

JT is getting on now to expect him to perform with games as close as this last bunch is asking alot IMO the problem is in binning off Elphick the 2 remaining CBS are the Richards and Samba or Tunzebe perhaps ..so he has to play. Even Chester could do with a rest its a long hard season and you need to use the squad better . Jedinak I completely agree he is not the player you want in a midfield of 2 when you need to take the game to the opposition especially if they have a midfield 3 there .He just gets overun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam3773 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I tried finding some positivity by looking at the table 9 games ago. Cardiff were a point in front of us. HOW DO THEY KEEP WINNING?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I think we are on paper the 3rd best team in the league but Cardiff will probably get 2nd now. I'd rather Fulham get it as I don't fancy us to beat them if we get to Wembleeee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 It's possible we could implode and miss out on the playoffs. Maybe we peaked against Wolves and it's all downhill from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were that bad it could not be form...it had to be something like fatigue, he says it was ,so we have to believe him, we don't have much other choice. We have to leave them in peace and get back on the rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was JT's worst game for us.....but hey ho, He has been magnificent. They ( the players) all know, they don't need telling. We need to be mindful of not beating ourselves or the players up.....We just need to be defiant, keep our nerve and come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Cardiff could easily Win 7, 8 or 9 games or only Win 4. We could easily Win 7 or 8 or 9 games or only Win 3 or 4. How some people have made up their minds so conclusively with 27 Points to play for baffles me... Cardiff are not Barcelona. They might continue their run, or they might not, but in years and years of Championship football the only sure thing is nothing is sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicVillan Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 93 points is the highest for 2nd spot ...That would mean us winning 8 from the last 9 to reach that figure Just got to hope Derby, Wolves and ourselves can do something against Cardiff.. then it's back in the mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 7 hours ago, TRO said: its not gone....but unlikely. We get taken out or negated too easily to be considered for Auto spot. Do we ? We have lost to QPR/Fulham/Brentford/Cardiff/Reading/ Wolves/Sheffield Wednesday/Derby. Rough tough Cardiff have lost to Fulham/Wolves/Preston ( twice)/ Blues/Bristol/Bolton So each have lost to footballing sides and more physical sides in about the same amounts. I don’t see the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
