Thread: Get ready for the play offs

  1. #1

    Get ready for the play offs

    Does anyone seriously think we’ll win at Hull? I’ve been confident upto the Villa away game, but we look like we’re running on empty now, and as much as it pains me to admit, we’ll be playing championship football again next season.

    We can win the play offs.

    If not theres worse places to be than the Championship

    Derby in the play offs most likely.

    Re: Get ready for the play offs

    If we're running on empty, we have options on the bench to freshen things up.

    Now is where we find out how good Warnock's management is. He's got lots right this season, but by his own admission has got things wrong (thinking Preston away when he said he wanted to change things but felt the players had earned their shirts, even if they were tired).

    I think Cardiff will win at Hull. It is a case of all or nothing now, and I think they will get a win by 2 goals.

    Why can't we beat Hull away? They're where they are for a reason.

    Revenge. I rememeber QPR beating us and going crazy , taunting us after the game. Revenge was sweet. Derby we will beat. Villa then in the final.

    The players will be wanting to bounce back on Saturday. It's very likely they will go into the game in 3rd place and will go out all guns blazing. I think it's the Reading game that will be tricky.

    We were bloody awful in that second half tonight. That was a real kick in the bollocks that result. I think we need Fulham to drop points now because I just cannot see us winning both ours.

    We were awful at home to Preston over Christmas and then went on a great run. Still all to play for. The mind can play funny tricks on people. We are still in the box seat.

    Why can't you? Cardiff started the season with 5 wins and recently won 8 in a row. They can win the next 2, although I expect the Reading game to be a nervy affair.

    I'll feel better when Sunderland have made it 4 on the trot at your place!

    Re: Get ready for the play offs

    The only two ways goal difference will be relevant are if:

    *we lose on Saturday and Fulham draw at home to Sunderland, then we both either draw or win a week Sunday;
    *or we both win this weekend, then we lose at home to Reading and Fulham draw at Birmingham.

    Can't see either of those happening.

    We haven’t played well for a while and won, just grinding out results like forest, Norwich etc...forget the playoffs, we don’t do them.

    Hull is shite or bust

    Re: Get ready for the play offs

    Knowing us we will probably win at Hull and lose against the useless Reading.

    Lol, if that's what we have to rely on for promotion we may as well prepare for the play offs now! A dire Sunderland team, the worse in the division by a mile, managed by someone born in Swansea who is also a former Fulham captain, manager and legend playing away against a free flowing football team who have gone half a season unbeaten. Come 3 pm Saturday the pressure will be on us big time to do the business at a rejuvenated free scoring Hull team.

    Who also let five goals in last Saturday and lost at home to Sheffield Wednesday the week before. No reason why we cant beat them.

    That may well be the case, but the gist of my reply was I for one won't be relying on Sunderland beating Fulham the previous night! I can see nothing other than a Man City - Swansea type performance and result here.

    Re: Get ready for the play offs

    I think Fulham will either hammer Sunderland by 4 or 5 or they'll drop points.

    Spot on, they’ll either win or they’ll lose or draw. Bet your house on it.

    Sunderland have got some good players however (Mcgeedy, O'shea, Matthews, McNair, Fletcher) and have seriously under performed all season, so now the pressure is off they could well play a lot better. Unlikely perhaps but lets hope.

    Which isn't what I said, but yeah.
    I think Sunderland will either not give a shit and get hammered or be right tough bastards and nick a draw.
