Tomaszk Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 No excuses tomorrow. Bolton 1 win in 8 and that was Sunderland. Back on track please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 10th choice right back playing left back? Wonder which wing they’ll mainly attack down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 To anyone of the thought that Cardiff and Fulham won't throw away results like we did against QPR. Just recently Cardiff conceded two goals to Birmingham and Fulham needed a stoppage time goal to knock off Preston. Cardiff also had 8 less shots than Barnsley and gave up 61% possession in that game, at home. Could've been a different story. Had Jack's header gone in against QPR it would've been 1-2 with over a half to play. Could've been a different story. I know that ultimately what counts is who goes up, I am just trying to illustrate that the margins are fine and we are not out of this race yet.

Bruce just needs to get that form out of them till the end of the season. Weather the game against Wolves took it out of them for the QPR game, I don't know, (although Wolves looked ok) but we need to be at the top of our game for the rest of the season to have any chance of promotion. I know the scoreline was very convincing but we only actually had 4 attempts on goal and 2 were from set pieces. It was a great result but I don’t think the scoreline tells the whole story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted March 17, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 17, 2018 We need to remain unbeaten for the rest of the season to challenge for second spot now, which we can do, but is unlikely. If we do find ourselves in the play offs then let’s not forget nobody will want to face us. They’ve seen what we did to Bristol City and Wolves and see our away form and results on the whole. We are more than capable of beating anybody in this league in either 2 legs or a one off game. Who’d bet against us with the experience and nous we have too? All is not lost. It might not be the script we wanted, but enjoy the ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be exciting at least... That has been my worry for some time, in spite of our good form. A slip up in the one offs, or indeed in the play off matches, as I now think we may end up in fourth, will set us back several years in this division. And that is where our problems have mostly been, in my opinion, losing individual matches which we should have expected to win. We really needed to attain Saturdays performance on a more consistent basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 We will probably need ~20/21 points from the last 27 available to get second so it's a very tall order. Playoffs it is despite having the highest wage bill in the league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted March 17, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 17, 2018 It is just one loss... I’ve also been feeling a bit doom and gloomy the past couple of days. Maybe it’s nothing to do with football! If we had lost to a wolves 0-2 and beaten qpr 4-1 I wonder if people would have the same opinions? If Cardiff lose a couple then it’s all still to play for, it is a long old season and there’s still quite a bit of football left. I’m still fairly confident that we’ll be playing in the PL next year.

If Cardiff lose to either Derby or Wolves coming up, we can cut that gap to just 1 point after we play them. This is a very likely scenario. All is not lost.

omariqy Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I really do think it's a big IF whether we can beat Cardiff at home. They will come with a game plan and make it difficult for us. They counter really well so will focus on stifling us and nicking a goal so we can chase the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
