BRADDO Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Those points dropped against WBA over both matches, the totally undeserved defeat to villa. We'd be sat in the play offs now. Aaaaaaaagh!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls2k Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 We've fluked points as well remember. Both Rotherham games we deserved to lose for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never would I have thought we could possibly be in this position 6 months ago. I'm still going to dream but its a tough run in. But you never know? I would love us to beat Leeds on Saturday. Then I could return to writing my latest novel in a cordial peace...UTO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I’ve pretty much accepted with the form of villa and Bristol and everyone’s running plus the amount of games left the point difference that sadly it’s going to be a bit much, I’d still have my hopes up if we had held villa to a draw. but what a turnaround it’s been next season can’t come quick enough even with the embargo looking likely I’m bizarrely looking forward to see what Bruce assembles if he can get fees for forestieri and Joao and release abdi, Jones, pudil, Marco, then an I think we will see 4-5 quality players come in JO will go back to Tottenham so I expect a DM to come in whelan, mo Diame? maybe season long loans or cheeky low bids for the Newcastle lads hooper, Palmer, Westwood getting retained Boyd and lee? Who knows he seems to like Boyd and I think he has his uses particularly when playing opposition that don’t have a lot of pace He genuinely likes a quick striker will he/ can he get one them what happens with Rhodes interesting summer but I think he will make us a force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Slightly fed up of hearing about 'If we only beat Villa', yes was an unfortunate defeat but over this season can think of a couple of times where we have got undeserved points. You always finish where you deserve to finish after 46 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Tom Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The shocking goal difference we built up over the entire first half of the season is a bigger problem than any one result - it’s effectively as good as a game in hand for all the teams around us at this stage of the season, and was always going to be. Still, our current position is a remarkable achievement given where we were and how leaky we looked, and well done to the lads. Of course we still go for it now, all guns blazing, but I’m delighted they’ve pulled out all the stops and avoided what could’ve been humiliation - or worse - if we’d carried on in our pre-Xmas form for much longer. Actually been a really enjoyable second half of the campaign, and I’m already really looking forward to next season, regardless of whether we ultimately finish 6th or 12th this.
