dudevillaisnice Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Playoffs seem more likely but as I said yesterday I’d be confident with this squad and manager if it was via playoffs. I don’t think we will sit back like we did against Fulham which still annoys me to this day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything has conspired against us this weekend...One to forget. Gap is looking too "last season" for my liking now. Gap has been looking too last season for a number of games now. Some people have just gotten ahead of themselves imo. That being said still a very long way to go, but those confident "we are going to win this league" statements are premature nonsense. Get to 6th first, then aim for 3rd, then aim for top 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper they are one of the best teams in the league. They are getting it together now and go ahead of us if they win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two points dropped by those pathetic officials lovely costly today. Thankfully teams around us all dropped points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted December 8, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2018 Meh stoke have drawn most of those games and the wins include Lambert’s Ipswich and Bristol City. Speaking of Bristol City, how about that Lee Johnson eh? Not such a bad bloke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Stoke will be a difficult game especially without Jack. But draws already are no good to us we need to hit a winning streak like Norwich. Theres still time but our momentum has been halted by that robbery last night whereas the teams we face next (Stoke, Leeds, PNE) are all picking up theirs. Feels crap right now but if we're good enough I think we'll be right up there, our performances have been all we could have hoped for and more the last couple of months.

Mark Albrighton Posted December 8, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2018 Collapses can happen. Six weeks ago people were going on about Sheff United. One win in five before tonight’s game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT123 Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Given the squad and the way we're playing, we simply have to be aiming for automatics. I'd be disappointed with play-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I would like to know who generates these bloody fixture lists? If you look again we have the same run of fixtures bavk to back in the 2nd half of the season. It's ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Given who the top 2 were playing it was hardly a surprise that both won. On the flip side though I was pleasantly surprised to see that both Boro and Forest dropped points. There is no denying that the gap to the top two is a big one at the moment. There is also no denying that there are still 25 games to go to overhaul that gap. We still have to play Leeds twice yet and Norwich once (at home) you'd have to pretty much take it as a given for us to catch either of them we'd have to beat them in our head to heads. We do that then that reduces the gap to 8 points and 4 points. They also have to play each other yet so you can see just over those four games the situation could change dramatically. Bottom line is there is a long way to go and we are currently playing some great stuff against the best sides in the division with a run on the horizon against weaker opposition. Let's see how things look in 6-8 weeks. I have a feeling they will look much more rosy and it is going to be a great ride between now and the end of the season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted December 8, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2018 We should absolutely be aiming for automatics. Whether we’ll get it is another thing, but until it’s mathematically impossible we have to treat it as the aim. Saying it’s not going to happen with over half the season yet to play is as ridiculous as saying we’re nailed on for it. Let’s see where we are in January, if we’ve beaten Leeds by then, it’ll be looking a lot more likely. Or basically what Mark said above ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Seeing how this is panning out i just hate Steve Bruce more and more. All those easy fixtures we had at the start of the season and he totally ruined the season, all those 10-12+ wasted points. Furious about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
