What results do we want villa loss but then Preston on our heels
Villa draw with Preston, Birmingham win at the Bees, Hull beat Boro
The rest have less impact on us.
All games currently 0-0
Chris Martin clearly hasn't lost his touch, missing a simple chance from 8 yards after 3 minutes.
I would rather Villa lose
boro and burton 1-0 up each
1-0 sheff U
1-0 brentford
Was never fussed with Sunderland until they kept singing that awful song 'things can only get better' as we were relegated. Looks as though they'll be dropping again.
Bolton 1-0
1-0 preston !!
shef wed 1-0 up
brentford 2-0 up
boro 2-1 up
I think Brentford are the dark horses for the play offs,
they 2 up now on Brum that would put them on 50 points.They are on a good run,I fear them more than the likes of Preston,Boro and Leeds.

Fear no one now, our destiny is in our hands, play off are ours to lose now. We have got ourselves into this position and if we don't end up here we can only blame ourselves
Everyone up until 13th is dangerous tbh. We have to keep performing, one game at the time. coyw
sheff u 2-0 up :/

QPR aren't great on the road so no surprise.
Prefer Villa to lose. If we keep our momentum we can eclipse them. Would rather we cement ourselves in the playoff positions and have all those around us drop points.

You've just contradicted yourself.
Villa have the chance to go 2nd and they are bottling it!!!
Bruce has thrown on 2 strikers for the 2nd half but made no impact.
M'Boro, 3-1 v Hull.
:HD:

Villa 1 Preston 1 now
Look if villa draw or lose points I'd take that.. the loss against us and then loss of points two games in a row could start having a significant impact on their mentality. Plus keeps Preston in line which is helpful.
Yeah, I'd take Villa 1-1 Preston. Would be great if QPR could do us a favour against Sheffield United also.
5-0 brentford

Any 5-0 scoreline should be respected and the top of the table between 2nd to 10th is now separated by 11 points so it's a close run thing.
But don't over focus or obsess on other teams. We're a different proposition to earlier in the season and just need to focus on enjoying our style and making the most of it.
A bit of perspective is healthy. Birmingham have been poor most of this season and are low on form and league position now too. It's not the same as playing harder opposition on good runs.
Its down to FFC where we finish no one else 049:gif :54:
Bit of a mixed bag of results for us. Villa/ Preston was about the best. A lot hanging on tomorrow.

No we can't be expected to win every game and at thesametime we have to be wary of someone like Brentford going on an exceptional run. run.
We should look for our competitors generally drawing most of their games while we just win alternate games everything would then be nice and comfortable with no frights.
Going to be a nail biting finish to the season, don't think we can afford to lose tomorrow, not that much of a gap between us and Brentford, amazed they are only 5 points behind us after the excellent run we have been on.

That's what dawned on me and has suprised me most. We've been on this incredible run.. truly.. and long may it continue. I believe 2nd place is within reach.. but it's humbling to see how close it is all things considered.
Like despite our run, we're still six points behind 2nd and in 5th.
I don't think that's news to our squad or slavisa but whilst we're close we need to remain focused.

when we lost to them they jumped above us and were a point ahead, so in the run since then they have been keeping up a good run of 23 points in 13 games, while we have 29 in 12. With only ourselves, Derby, Villa and Wolves doing better.

I think the fact that we are coming up against the division's best team on Saturday (which obviously increases the chance of a defeat) means that we desperately need 3 points tonight to keep in touch with 2nd.
