Flat Owl Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Brighton certs to go up for me now. if anyone has a wobble it will be Newcastle. Remaining 4 + Derby jostling for a playoff place IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't catch Brighton so that game is irrelevant, Fulham have been playing well of late so for them to stay 5 points behind us having played the same amount of games now is good. We will finish above Reading I am sure of that so not overly fussed about them being 4 pts ahead of us as I am confident we can reel them in.

ArmchairOwl Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) We're better off if Reading win, imo Edited January 24, 2017 by Owling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owly Mowly Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Yes, I'm happy for Fulham to get nothing. More important that the teams below us don't pick up points at this stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owly Mowly Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Still Derby that will be the biggest threat. Feel that they will get in the top 6, therefore to stay there we will need to get above someone else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Come on people we could still make the top 2 if we go on a winning run. I want everyone above us to lose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerwyldesmullet Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Best for teams below us to lose interest - it will even affect transfer targets etc. A draw might have been better but a Reading win preferable to a Fulham one. Also - small consolations. shows we aren't the only folk to miss crucial penalties and that dem Blavdes are less nailed on than they thought.

This for me all I care about at the end of the season is we are sixth and in the hunt. The more points anyone below us drops is always going to be a massive bonus.....WAWAW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly believe that, irrespective of what happens subsequently, if we get to the play offs, we will beat Reading, Derby and and HT if they don't fall away so I am seeing the Weeds as the biggest threat but of course, I may be wildly incorrect.

SallyCinnamon Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Top 2 well out of reach. Bit worried about Derby, that slip up at Brighton could prove very costly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle and Brighton could possibly be caught, but not by us. 15 behind BHA and 13 behind Newcastle. Not a chance. I see us needing to finish in the top four of a handicap mini-league:- Reading +4 Leeds +4 Udders +3 Owls --------------------- Derby -2 Barnsley -4 Fulham -5 Norwich -5 PNE -5 Villa -9 (but they look like they/Bruce are in a serious mess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelowl Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 doff my cap to Chris Hughton he's done at good job he got Newcastle up last time and with less resources doing the same with Brighton Knockaert and Murray were good signings can't remember if he signed the centre backs too tbh I think after their points total last year and the way they carried on in the same way this, out of the top 2 I think they should go up It'd be funny if Newcastle collapsed, but can't see it - so 3rd or 4th is the target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the two, I'd say Newcastle are more likely to implode. It's what they do! Let's leads slip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
