Title: 4th after today...
Post by: AnOldBrownie on January 28, 2020, 06:42:59 PM
Regardless of the Forest v. Brentford game we're going to be 4th, so what decision would be best?   Draw?  IMO a 0-0 draw would be great.

Also want Milwall and Cardiff to step up.

If Brentford and Forest draw we will still be 3rd on goal difference.

Brentford have a goal difference of +23 .we have a goal difference of +11. A draw sees Brentford go in 3rd

I think Brentford will win - they've been playing well of late.

We just need to keep focused on our own form, which at home has been indifferent at times. On paper we should beat Huddersfield, but we should also have beaten Reading, Hull, etc. etc.

Big big boost for Leeds if they win this. Massive momentum shift without key player and coming back from 2 behind. Makes that CHarlton result even worse sadly.

True.   Never worry about things we can't control.   It's just a great day to watch football.

Klopp played the kids and sent first team to club WC. So Villa played the Liverpool U16s (pretty much) in the QF of League cup.

They wouldn't be playing Leicester if they had played the Liverpool first team is my point. They have done well to beat Leicester though.

They win the hard games and then lose the easy games. I don't think they have enough. Would hate to get them in the playoffs though.

I had anticipated Leeds beating millwall so not feeling too frustrated about the result. Sure, milwall being 2 goals up at halftime I thought they'd see it out however this league never fails to surprise me.
West Brom losing is fantastic. On the whole, results have been okay tonight. As it stands we are 4 points behind WBA and 6 behind Leeds. I reckon Leeds and WBA will win their following game respectively, but with now 17 or 16 games remaining, anything can happen. I think Millwall will be a huge game for  us and also them since they are in the mix. Just bought my tickets for that...

Huddersfield is the sort of game where nothing short of a victory will be sufficient. I fully expect us to win that game and will be quite unimpressed if we don't. But then again, we are fulham!

Yeah there are less than 11 points between us and 11. Remembering that leeds and West Bromwich had that margin for error and how quickly it disappeared the playoffs are anyone's for the taking if a team puts together a run.

All teams have now played 29 games and things are pretty close.

We are in the promotion race and every one of the remaining 17 games is going to be tough, essential we get our act together for the first of these games against Huddersfield on Saturday.
