Jareth Posted March 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2019 Defence sorted, attack sorted, midfield sorted. This is not like when DS first came in, I think we can continue this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted March 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2019 If the others win their games in hand we're still 4 points off the pace. With 8 to play, it's going to be very tough. Play like we have done against Derby and Boro though and we should fear no-one at all. I think we will need to win 6/8 now though to get to 75 points. Big ask, but why not we've just won 4 on the bounce and are playing extremely well and should be getting Tuanzebe and a few others back soon. What looked pretty far fetched is looking doable all of a sudden but 6 out of 8 is asking a hell of a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on that I think it’s possible around 72 points could do it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if the wins are against our direct rivals. Still tough. Do the predictor on Birmingham mail website and se what you get. Both me and my mate who supports Leeds did it. We both had us finishing 6th and Leeds finishing 3rd. I had us beating Boro, Blackburn, Rotherham, Bolton and Bristol. Draw to shef wed and lose to Norwich Leeds.

The goals were coming it was just a matter of time. I agree they were the better side, but we weren’t embarrassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mentioning Boro a while ago because when they implode we have a better chance. If Bristol and Derby won we will be 4 points to Bristol, 2 points to Derby. Which is 6th. Boro will be out of top 6. The best scenario is Derby and Bristol lose. Then Bristol draw with Boro. We would be 6th with two points to 5th.

Mark Albrighton Posted March 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2019 Amazing what a difference a fortnight can make. I believe this was the table before the Derby game - Norwich Pl 34 Pts 66 Sheffield Utd Pl 34 Pts 64 Leeds Pl 34 Pts 64 West Brom Pl 34 Pts 60 Boro Pl 33 Pts 57 Derby Pl 34 Pts 54 Bristol City Pl 33 Pts 53 Small heath Pl 34 Pts 50 Nott. Forest Pl 34 Pts 50 Preston Pl 34 Pts 47 Hull Pl 34 Pts 47 Sheff Wed Pl 34 Pts 47 Aston Villa Pl 34 Pts 45 Long way to go yet, but it’s looking so much more positive now.

alreadyexists Posted March 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2019 These are the last 8 games, and my predictions: V Blackburn (h) Win V Sheff Wed (a) Draw V Rotherham (a) Win V Bristol (h) Win V Bolton (a) Win V Millwall (h) Win V Leeds (a) Loss V Norwich (h) Loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted March 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) I think if we need something against Norwich, we’ll at least get a point, especially if they’ve already won the league by then. Edit - looking at their remaining fixtures, I’ll be surprised if they haven’t got the title sewn up by the time we play them.

Yeah it’s an awful league. I think the quality of the teams/clubs set up, stature, personnel wise etc. in this division is high in relative terms. But a lot are underperforming. Stoke for example. Us even, only winning a third of our games this season is rubbish. Sheff U, Norwich and Leeds are showing how simple this league can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXD Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 If the league is so poor this year, it does not bode well for the teams going up. Fulham and Cardiff are about to bounce straight back down and they did rather well last year. Wolves bossed it and are doing ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
