It's almost our game in hand, but also can you imagine the feeling for Fulham and Villa players prior to their game on Tuesday if we can win such a difficult fixture.
They will start to think there's no stopping us.
10/12 point lead having played the same number of games. Another victory against a promotion chaser.
Massive kick in the knackers for them.
For our lads it would feel like 1 foot in the Prem and set us up for another massive one on Friday
Phew!
Once we lost second place a few weeks ago I assumed we would never get back there.
Not only are we there with a few games left, but we are 7 points clear of the others.
Now all neutrals believe we will go up in second place at least.
Let's face it, the end of this season is going to be talked about for years whatever happens.
And whatever happens it has been a brilliant season. The only advantage of Fulham being the only team who could really catch us is that should this all go wrong (I don't think it will) we won't have to play them in the play-offs. Because they are good.
But we are a strong team and a nightmare to play against.
Bluebirds!!!
The worst that can happen in the next few days is to be four points ahead of Fulham with a game in hand. Tomorrow's game doesn't merit the massive tag.
I would happily take a point against Sheff Utd. It would be 1 point closer to the top with 7 games left and 8 points clear of 3rd place before Fulham play in midweek.
Fulham can reach 93 and Villa 91 by winning their remaining games but the likelihood of either winning their last 7 games is slim.
We would need 4 wins to guarantee 92 points if we draw tomorrow evening - so even if Fulham win 6 and draw 1, we still pip them to the autos.
Wolves, Villa, Norwich, Forest, Derby, Hull, Reading. All of those are winnable games on paper.
Every game now to the end is massive.
Fulham and Villa will be looking at these fixtures as a way back in.
3 points for us will be gutting for them.
A win would also leave us only 3 points behind Wolves heading into their game Hull which will heap pressure on them knowing they have to come here three days later
What was the score Tim?
