What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
Get close to wolves but they'll still pip us to 1st

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
Gutted they scored the equaliser!

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
This was always going to be a tough sequence of matches compared with the other teams easier runs .
Certainly squeaky bum time.
Haven't a clue how it's going to pan out but what I do know is that somehow we have to get points on the board next two games.

In my humble opinion we catch Wolves.
At this stage of the season they seem to be stuttering more than Fulham.
Obviously Friday is the acid test. If we lose then Wolves will be away, and Fulham May well mug us on the line, but I think we’ll beat Wolves, and then it’s a mad dash for the line, in which us and Wolves will fight out the finish.

This is how I see it.

We have to beat Wolves to keep Fulham at bay.

I think Friday night is THE match of the season for us. Beat Wolves and we give ourselves a chance of 2 auto places rather than one. Lose and I think we'll really struggle to hold off Fulham based on the belief they have at present. I think they'll only drop 4 points max over their final 6 matches.

Beat Wolves and our game in hand, Wolves are choking we will win championship

We would only need 10 points then have some faith

If they dropped 4 points, we just need 10 points from 7 games. That's not even 2 points a game. That's 3 wins from 7 and we'd be allowed to lose 2.

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
If we catch Wolves and Fulham catch us, we'll still be in second!!!! :thumbup:
that'll do for me :hehe:

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
I still think the first two teams to hit the eighty point barrier will go up automatically.

Wolves have previous for blowing unassailable leads at the top of this division. Can't think who was their manager last time they blew a double figure lead over third and lost out in the playoffs.

Same bugger who kept choking with us

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
It is indeed squeaky bum time, and I am erring on Fulham mugging us for 2nd place. Friday is massive. If we beat Wolves then obviously I will be more positive.
Spdger

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
I have done the predictor table several times in the last few weeks, and every time I have wolves winning the league by various amounts. But every time I also have us pipping Fulham by between 3 and 1points.
Don't see that changing. Too far in front for me.

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
This site now predicts us to win the last game v Reading to beat Fulham by 2 points, but 10 points behind Wolves
https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/c...able/predicted
Last week they had Fulham beating us by 2 points but we gained an unpredicted point v Sheff U and due the improvement of Sheff W, they predict Fulham dropping another 2 points.
I know its all bollocks but it is scientific bollocks and so long as we go up, frankly I don't care how we do it. But, if we were to win our last (home) game to get promotion that would be perfect.

It was a definite trend. There was a comment above a toxic atmosphere during the run in of his last season in charge. Mainly because we'd blown so many good positions and we had arguably the best squad we'd known in decades. It was deja vu, we knew we'd fail again.

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
The point at Bramall Lane is the one that will keep us above Fulham.
-
Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
Could be a 2 point gap between us and Fulham after the weekend. Worrying!

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
I think Fulham will catch us. This will go down to the last couple of games and will have as much to do with bottle as ability. Fulham's [and Wolves'] fixtures are much easier than ours.

Could also be 8 with a game in had. Exciting.

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
I don't know if we will catch Wolves; but the fact that they're still in a position that we can chase them is a positive. It helps the team focus on something ahead of them rather than constantly looking over their shoulders.
We're in a race for Promotion; not relegation. Teams are going to win games; otherwise they wouldn't be in a promotion race in the first place. It's so close to the end of the season that everything is magnified; we just need to keep doing what we're doing.
Fans have a huge part to play though; we need to hold our nerve as much as the players do. I'm confident NW will have them fired up and in a bit of a siege mentality at the moment, as fans we really need to do our best not to undermine that.
As for Fulham; they were pretty in patches last night; but a better team would've punished them. They will drop points. We're not far away.

The stats say neither are likely.

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
People are losing sight of the fact we need 14 points from 7 to guarentee promotion. Doesn't matter what fulham do.
Wolves - WIN - 3
Villa - LOSE - 0
Norwich - DRAW - 1
FOREST - WIN - 3
Derby - DRAW - 1
HULL - WIN 3
Reading - WIN 3
Hardly an amazing last 7 with plenty of blips but enough to get over the line. People need to stay calm, the time to panic is if we take 0 points from six the next two. Every point matters now...

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
Definitely a difference in mentality between our fanbase and others. People here worried Fulham will catch us after we have just won 8 on the bounce and remain unbeaten in 13 in the league.
Yet Fulham fans, while their club have played a game more, are 5 points worse off, are confident they will catch us.
If it's because of the run in, I'll just remember the many many times we have slipped up when we shouldn't because that is the league we are in.
However I'm more confident we ourselves will get the job done than relying on others. This team is gutsy, hard working and actually has quality that they don't get credit for.

All that is true, but maybe the dip in performance on Monday night (if not in fighting spirit) is feeding the extreme caution.

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
The way I see it is we can afford to drop a few points (7) but villa and Fulham can't afford to drop 1 point

We have played as poorly at other times this season. Incredibly difficult to always be on it over 46 matches. Sheffield United also played very well, yet we still got a point.
Just seems strange, I don't remember a run like it in recent years yet still there is worry. What will be will be, just enjoy what is a fantastic season beyond expectation. Feels very different to the years prior to our PL promotion where the panic was real.

Any time Villa or Fulham drop points between now and the end of the season is an absolute disaster for them.
For City it's a setback.

Re: What's more likely? We catch Wolves or Fulham catch us?
Have we got more points at this stage then when we won it?
