Tamworthowl Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 2 hours ago, HirstWhoScoredIt said: Everybody is saying Fulham are definitely in the play offs if they win next week. I agree they almost certainly are but not definitely. They have +27 goal difference, Leeds +14. Would these results be impossible? Fulham 2-1 Brentford Leeds 5-0 Norwich Wednesday 4-0 Fulham Wigan 0-6Leeds Leaving Leeds on +25 and Fulham on +24. Yeah, on second thoughts it ain't happening Not entirely impossible, but improbable. Before Saturday, I was looking at Leeds' recent form and they had four goals in five games: a late equaliser at Newcastle, 3-0 vs Preston and three blanks. Even with Wood, they are struggling for goals, but he's always likely to nick one or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I really don't care what other teams do. We take care of ourselves and we'll be fine regardless. So far that's what we've done and we are in a healthy position. Ipswich game we go with the mentality it's a must win like every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owly Mowly Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Don't know why everyone is concerned- we are gonna win another 5 games and record a run of form we will be talking about for years to come - THE 10 IN A ROW PROMOTION TO PREMIER LEAGUE !!!

I'm not expecting anything of them in the next couple of weeks. Norwich and Wigan are very winnable games. Leeds will sneak in. Can see Huddersfield losing to both Brentford and Brum though.. IMO they will miss out - last day heartbreak. Edited April 23, 2017 by Earlsfieldowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshTheOwl Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 TBH I hope Leeds win and finish in the play offs over Fulham who are a team bang in form. Hoping Brentford do a job on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musn't Grumble Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Wednesday's best chance is at Ipwich, especially if McCarthy sends out another "experimental" side as he did when losing to Rotherham yesterday. However, Fulham can't be looking at their remaining two matches with much glee either. West London rivals, Brentford, have been a different side since Jota came back and an away game at one of their chief rivals who happen to have better recent form than them should have the Cottagers looking over their shoulder.

Possibly but a risky tactic - he may hate us but he's a proud manager old school manager who hates losing Being a Blunt he probabaly doesn't hold the Terriers in any great esteem either.

Athelwulf Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I think it's the fact that both we and Fulham won yesterday which will have delivered a huge psychological blow. That said, our next game is probably the most difficult of the run-in. If you wanted to manufacture the type of team we struggle against, then Ipswich wouldn't be a bad effort. And away from home against a manager with South Yorkshire connections whom we've never beaten in 14 attempts. We've laid a few ghosts to rest recently, but this will be the most difficult.

We have proved against the last 3 opponents that we arent afraid to play teams we may have usually struggled against before. Ipswich will be more worried about us than we will be about them.

bradowl Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 People seem to be writing Norwich's chances off against Leeds on fact we battered em 5-1, but I don't think Norwich are that bad. Beating Reading 7-1, Brighton 2-0 and a superb away win at Preston in recent weeks tells me they must have something about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes remembered after I posted - Colin has been around for so long and managed so many, it's easy to lose track of them.
