It could happen of course but i would say its less than 10% chance we will win all our remaining games and Cardiff and fulham both drop enough points for us to nick second. had we won one of the last two fine i might believe. but to lose both is absolutely dreadful and practically killed any hopes for 2nd.

supermon Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Have to agree with Dem, i think we have blown it, really hope I am wrong but just seems typcial Villa to choke it. Have the same sentiments for play offs, we can and should be able to beat anyone in this league, but when it is that huge I just dont think we have the cajonas!!

Top half against the half the noses are in. Look at Boro, the flat-track bullies! and to a lesser extent Sheff Utd although both have played extra v lower half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so if we can dodge Fulham over 2 legs and then sucker punch them in the final we’ve done it! Or would it be better to play them over 2 legs? Get a draw over there then 12 man and all that at home. I just don’t know anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To play fulham over 2 legs one of us would almost certainly need to finish 6th - can’t see that happening . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
