And then you won’t be considered rivals, you might have to start going on the Burton forum for that. don't forget August each year though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42744447 Grujic must play 14 games for Cardiff of there will be financial consequences. Wont apply if he's injured, so of he's rubbish presumably Warnock will just injure him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hope Barnsley get something at Villa - the only side imo who are a serious threat. Theyve been without Kodjia for months, no real goal threat and still been amongst the pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Cardiff are still a big threat. They have a strong home record and you know Warnock will get his team gritty again on the road. I reckon they'll beat Sheff Wed on Saturday. Hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukedcfc Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I have this nagging feeling that Villla will be the team that will scupper our chances this season. Steve Bruce has that knack of getting teams out of the championship. Neil Warnock does as well, but Cardiff don't worry me as much. The teams that worry me to go on a run are Villa, Boro and Fulham, everyone else in the mix haven't got the experience to be consistent, but we shall see.

If we loose enough teams to let them catch us between now and the end of the season, then it would be our own fault entirely, and we’d have far bigger things to worry about than just those three catching us. If those three could potentially catch us then our drop in form would have to put play offs at risk. We’d have to drop 11 and 12 points for them to become a worry. I just don’t see that happening. Fulham, Boro and Brentford might all put together decent runs from now to the end of the season, but that should worry Sheffield United, not us.

dcfcfan1 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Yeah, I see villa finishing second and us finishing 3rd. Definately play offs at least though. Think Villa are on great form (when they beat barnsley) will make it tough for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 4 teams seriously looking at that second spot - hopefully we'll still be second as they fall away one by one. But at the moment they're all a threat. Nobody's overtaking us this month though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people on here are going to get their knickers in a twist in the next few weeks over the form of Villa. There will be so many twists and turns between now and the end of the season that it's best to stay aloof from it all and, as Rowett says, just concentrate on what we're doing. As I type another twist as Barnsley pull a goal back. We've 18 games left which means it's in our hands, just as it's also still in Villa's hands. And Cardiff's and Bristol City's. As I continue to type, despite the new low for football and humanity I mentioned in another thread, it's good to see Dirty Leeds 0, Dirty Millwall 1.

Bris Vegas Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Villa dropping points at home to Barnsley would have been a big bonus. I think most expected them to win anyway. Derby have still got the likes of Barnsley, Bolton and Sunderland to play at home so I think our rivals will write them off as home wins too. I fully expect Fulham to beat Burton. What will be a bit disappointing is if Sheff Utd and Boro win, considering both have trickyish away games where you’d be delighted to just take a flukey 1-0 win.

As you say this Boro go 2-0 up. I think with Pulis they'll comfortably be in the play-offs come the end of the season. Not sure Bristol City will be able to withstand the likes of Boro and Fulham to stay in the top six. I don't think they'll be strong enough to push for second either. I really wouldn't like to be in the play-offs facing Boro, so it would make it even more important to finish 2nd. Cardiff look decent but I don't think they'll go the distance. A head-to-head battle between us and Villa is what I see being most likely, so I'm looking out for their results more than anybody else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
