Havin-a-hoot Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I mean I'd like us to win every match so if that makes us finish 3rd/ fighting for third then sure... I don't really see why anyone wouldn't be aiming for us to win as much as possible. Bit of a weird question if you ask me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxonOwl Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The question is if we are in the playoffs with Fulham to play, do we go for a win at all costs to try to achieve 3rd or do we rest key players and the rest do their best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see the fascination for 3rd place by risking your best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would be interesting to see what all 4 teams in the playoffs do on the last day. My feeling is there would be lots of rotation going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) 3rd spot would be worth it no matter what happens. If they did decide to relegate Newcastle and West Ham I would confidently predict that the two bottom sides in the premiership would stay where they are.

jonnyowl Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Personally I'd like Huddersfield in final. Knocking out Reading or Fulham.in semis would I think knock out 2 of the stronger teams and having an easier final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Newcastle won't be deducted points. Personally I'd go for 3rd. Let's have the 2nd leg at home. Even if we're behind we'd get behind the team. There'd be no toxic atmosphere, it's not the lane we're talking about here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Huddersfield can now rest players for the last two games so will be fresh for play-offs. Another reason we need to get it sorted on Saturday so that they don't have such a big advantage if we play them. Any team not confirmed in play-offs will have to put out a strong team on the 7th of May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19owl08 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'd settle for play offs in any position right now. Plus this tax thing sounds more like it is to do with players/agents than the clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Uniteds was down to falsifying players wages somebody itk St the time told me they had declared they were paying somebody £200 a week when in fact they'd forgot to add a nought . So similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronio Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Yes, we should be pushing for 3rd. Get in as much points as possible. As long as we finish between 5th and 3rd, i will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 win on Saturday, feet up against Fulham, Surely this would be the smartest move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So similar Just saw that about the MD. With the arrests & raids in France that are linked I was thinking it may be something to do with an agent or rep for some of the French players. But as you say the arrest of the MD now suggests otherwise. Nothing changes for us. We need to win Saturday to guarantee play offs. Then for Fulham we can rotate & still have a team that should be competitive enough to play Fulham & win.

sonofbert2 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Let's just try and get there first ffs. CC's done a great job to give us the opportunity with 6 games left the season after last year's disappointment. Been a great run last few weeks but the job is by no means done. Half the people rambling on about who to play in the play-offs, travel arrangements, playing out a draw with Fulham etc etc had given up a few weeks back. Let's show a bit o' class and start counting our chickens when the eagle has landed and the ducks have come home to roost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always usually one last twist at the end of the season and im still not over that Forest match in 1990 One of (if not the) worst moments of my time as a Wednesday fan. My first taste of relegation. Cried for a week after that one. I think my parents were considering councilling. Made all the worse by Blades coming up at same time. Made up for it season after though. Oh to repeat those scenes.

19owl08 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 West Ham have said they were asked about intermediaries & agents. They are not accused of anything as a club. Chelsea only asked to provide information. Newcastle, West Ham & Chelsea only have one thing in common... Demba Ba. Who was born in France.

casbahowl Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Lots of expert opinion on here (as usual) on tax irregularities in football and the possible consequences. Swindon and Luton in recent years have first hand knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
