dcfcfan1 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 My worst fear was us missing out and forest taking our place Us finishing 7th/8th wouldnt be the worst season tbh, IF we play like we have played the last 2 games REGARDLESS of the results Most people on here were negative before the sheffield wednesday game, not because of results, but because of performances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Ace Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Villa will finish well inside the playoffs if they can keep Grealish fit. Despite their wealth of talent they only play if he does. They could win every game from now to the end of the season. Boro go there next and will probably lose. We will be out of the playoffs when we play next but will have a game in hand. sixth is possible but we’ll have to beat Boro to it as Villa will be 5th or higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then that’s 3 points each they’re defienly going to loose. if we can keep our momentum going after the break, then we can use that to our advantage and catch boro. We’ve also got Bristol to play. So as long as we can match Bristol and boros results, which should be possible with our ‘easier’ fixtures, but win when they inevitably loose to villa, and we might just need to gain a point or two extra on boro over the course of 9 games, then villas good end of season form could actually be the key to us getting in the play offs. Its in our hands though. That relies on us playing our part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels seem to be coming off a bit at Boro but we're not winning to capitalise. Technically, it's not in our hands as we're reliant on Bristol losing their game in hand even if we matched all their other results. I see us finishing 8th behind the top three plus WBA, Boro and Villa making up the play offs and Bristol in 7th. Still plenty to play for though.

Mucker1884 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Whilst I'd agree we appear to have an "easier" run in than those around us, and whilst I agree we do of course need to win our own games, as it stands, it's not quite "in our hands" at this stage, with Brizzle being 1 point behind with a game in hand. We are still reliant on others dropping points... only then can we take advantage. There's no doubt about it... there's gonna be some butt cheeks a'twitchin', before this season is over! Bring it on!

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 This will absolutely depend on whether our attack again clicks when mount returns....if it does I think we will take 6th..if not,8th or 9th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see us finishing 8th behind the top three plus WBA, Boro and Villa making up the play offs and Bristol in 7th. Still plenty to play for though. But I’m assuming villa will win all their remaining games. Which means they’ll win against Bristol and boro. So they’ll drop 3 points each. Say that happened tomorrow, that’s both their games in hand out of the way. We’re 1 point above Bristol, 2 pts begins boro, villa are 4pts ahead, but we’ve got 2 games in hand over them. We’d only actually need to match Bristol’s results and then draw against them to stay ahead of them. So we’re just looking for boro to loose one more while we win to leap frog them. So not totally in our hands, but if villa really are an unstoppable force, the only thing we need to go our way is for boro to loose one more the us. Abd their momentum and performances are on the slide. Ayala now suspended. Whereas our performances have turned a corner, and I’m very hopeful that we’ll hit the ground running after the break. Still, if villa are an unstoppable force, wel end up loosing to them in the play offs. But it’s nice to be invited to the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garytheowl Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Sheff wed and Villa to finish in the play offs. (dunna worry we'll beat Forest for you, before our loss earlier this season we'd done em 6 in a row) we beat WBA and grealish scores in the last minute to knock out the piggies to see a play off final that Wednesday cruise to victory.

sawley_ram Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Shook off the rough patch and managed 5 points from 9 with clearly improving performances on pitch. I think the break has come at the right time, gonna be great to see a fresh Mount back ready for the final 9 games. Exciting times indeed... would love us to finish 6th (again) and if so anything can happen then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Nobody is unbeatable, including Villa, they were fortunate against the Blues. Their defence stood back and virtually gave Grealish his goal and the ref denied Blues a blatant penalty. They're on a good run of results atm, but to continue that for another 9 games it's asking a lot. There are a number of teams in the mix, Preston, Sheff Wed and the red dogs. They'll all be fancying their chances as a result of Boro, Bristol and ourselves slipping up recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
