oh_weds_we_love_you Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Would be happy to face Fulham over two legs as they are the sort of team we do well against - a team who attacks and doesn't park the bus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUMBELOWS91 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Fulham are now the bookies favourites for promotion, which is quite a statement when you consider they occupy the last play off spot. Brentford are a good team on their day though, as we found out and I can see them getting something at Craven Cottage. Leeds are a good side at home and Norwich aren't great away, so it's quite possible there could be 1 point between Fulham and Leeds going into the last game. We really need to but this to bed next week with a win, because if you factor a draw for us in with a draw for Fulham and a win for Leeds it looks like this after 45 games.... Owls 79 Fulham 77 Leeds 76 Leeds would have at least the same GD as us, meaning a win for them v Wigan and defeat for us to Fulham would mean this.... Fulham 80 Leeds 79 Owls 79 You have to think Huddersfield will pick up another 3 points somewhere, and Reading another one. Hate to be a voice of doom on what's been a very positive day, but it's not all over yet folks. Edited April 22, 2017 by RUMBELOWS91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a solid outfit from front to back, and when was the last time we took a real beating? Going to Huddersfield and winning 4-1 is an eye brow raising result, but we aren't Huddersfield. I think we are physically and mentally strong enough to avoid that happening to us, even on a bad day, and as someone said above I think we have an air of professionalism and experience from the last 18 months in the group that Huddersfield don't. I also think our game favours teams that come at us. Where we've struggled this season is against teams that come to grind a result. I'd be confident against Fulham over 2 legs and a final is what it is. Dont fear Reading or Hudds in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_D Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Let's just take the 3 points against Mick's team next week to confirm our play-off place and then relax in the last game against Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracksuit Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Fulham Shmulham. Our boys won't panic like other teams do when they attack us. We don't even panic when we go a goal down. At this point in the season I truly believe our lads expect to win every game we play. We are the team to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meadowview owl Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 That form table is incorrect, Fulham are the championship form team according to the media! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlofOliveGrove Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 At least if we do come up against Fulham we know we'll have the ability to score against them. They're hardly known for shutting up shop and parking the bus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the normal run of circumstantial eventualities they do need to worry. We should too because football rarely gives you the normal run of circumstantial eventualities !

Ronio Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 You are correct Nob, we are definitely the team to beat. Imagine being Fulham and picking up all those wins and all those goals and yet they still can't get ahead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almat Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Problem with playing Fulham over 2 legs is you could be 3-0 up from the home game and still lose 7-5 on aggregate. They are definitely the team I would most like to avoid. Edited April 22, 2017 by Almat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I honestly fear no one in the play offs, unlike last season its a level playing field and on the day we are more than capable of beating anyone of the 3 teams in the top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owly Mowly Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 We have found a way to win games without the expansive football. We go up the gears when we need to, strike and then are professional in playing a game out. We do look an experienced, strong side with a team full of know how and grit and determination - all that adds up to giving us a great chance, but we all know the play offs are a lottery. Uwe Rosler did just say on ch 5 that the key to winning the is having your best players available, and it's looking good for us in that regard. Didn't know Huddersfield were missing Palmer and brown.
