Jareth Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Maybe its the 20 pints over two evenings but I'm getting very nervous about a two leg fixture against Middlesborough, they are looking very likely to be our opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read up that it changed last year, it's no longer a route into Europe for anyone, it's basically where the country which has the highest fair play points overall, their Football Association gets money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 We are going to have on e distinct advantage over either Fulham or Cardiff if we play either in the final. That being that those two have to go hell for leather until the final day to get that 2nd spot. We, on the other hand, have had nothing to play for since Norwich away and can rest people and take it a bit easier. (In theory anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 It'll prove what we have been thinking all season if Bruce don' start resting some players. It only takes Grealish to get a knock before the play offs an we may as well give it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Not scared of any team in the play off spots tbh. We have Terry, Chester, Grabban and Grealish. If we don't go up, we can only blame ourselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as guilty as anyone thinking about that play-off final, but I seriously hope the players are focused 100% on the games before hand, we could totally cock this up.

At that point I agree we should be wrapping him up in cotton wool. Edited April 22, 2018 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Prediction time!! I think we will lose the 1st leg against Middlesbrough, but win the second and win the tie. We will then face Fulham in the final.... and lose 3-0. I just think Fulham are too good. Edited April 22, 2018 by Tayls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all saw one of the worst teams to ever play in Champions League final win after being 3-0 down against a world class Milan team. We saw a 10 man Chelsea team beat one of the best Barcelona teams in history and then went on to somehow beat a fantastic Bayern team even though they had a depleted defence. Messi and Robben both missed penalties in those games. Something that is unheard of. Fulham may be the better team. But in knockout competition the football gods will decide our fate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to stay in the league for several years if something big is built for the future. That’s a huge assertion. Somehow in some timeline we do something we can’t do now. Only then we do it with lesser financing, and lesser fan base. Yeah, that seems likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't been able to do it now because it hasn't been the plan. The plan in terms of the future is get in to the top flight and then take it from there.
