I've deliberately avoided trying to predict the results of the games we've got left, but, looking at the table this morning, I'd say it's very likely that Hull and Reading will join Forest and Norwich in having nothing to play for when they face us. That doesn't always mean that it's a guaranteed three points, Norwich were good against Villa yesterday, but, if we are really this team that others hate playing so much, then you'd like to think that we have four matches where our opponents might not fancy it too much if we are able to make things difficult for them. Besides that, Villa and Derby are going to be in must win situations and that should mean chances on the break for us if we can stay level going into the last quarter of these games - I don't think we can rely on Fulham dropping many points, but I'd like to think we have it in us to do well in these last six games as long as morale isn't effected by what happened on Friday.
I reckon Fulham will get 10 points, which means 9 points from 6 games required by us.
Sooner we get 2 more wins the easier this will seem.
If Fulham win all 5 and get 93 points and we fall just short then fair play to them it will be they that have won promotion rather than us lost it.
I think most fans would choose to go up via the playoffs if offered it.
But crikey they are nerve wrangling occasions.
Having been in the top two for so long and then slipping into the playoffs is a big psychological barrier to get over in order to perform over three games. I would be interested to see how many third placed teams who fell out of the top two manage to go up via the play-offs, it's too late here in Uganda for me to get that info but I don't imagine it's many.
Villa D
Norwich D
Forest W
Derby L
Hull W
Reading W
91 points. 11 points from 18 in our last 6, just about keeping our points average.
For Fulham I believe
Reading W
Brentford D
Millwall D
Sunderland W
Birmingham W
11 points from 5 and 89 points in total.
Fancy them to stay unbeaten in this run but drop 4 points.
If Fulham win all 5 then fvck me they deserve it over the full season.
Look at the other options, villa to arrogant and think they have the desired right to be in the prem, boro ( pullis) millwall no thanks them in the prem, derby ( never liked them since they kicked our players in 1982 most Ffc fans feel the same) so if a big if Cardiff end up in the play offs, I would want them to go up, I have always liked warnock, love his passion. I felt a bit sorry for him against wolves, you can see the emotion on his face
I have to say to Fulham traveller his own fellow supporters are the worst for thinking they have a divine right to go up. The bleating when Reading knocked them out of the play offs was hilarious.
Not really. We were dire against Sheffield United, we all know that. We played well against Wolves. Let's not forget it takes 2 teams to make a game of football. Wolves, bar the penalties conceded, were defensively very good against us. We threw plenty at them. Lesser teams in the division would have crumbled.
I have never met one Fulham fan who have thought they have a divine right to best reading, maybe you read tweets from teenage fans? Reading were tactically better then us, and deserved to beat us, the same type of teenage fans that reading have, who when beat us, instead of celebrating after the win. They jumped onto the pitch came and came to our end giving us the hand signals to us and Tom Cairney, I would not put all reading fans in that bracket, same way us mature fans don’t think we have a divine right to go up
