Hopefully their mind is already on the beach. I hope that Brentford game doesn't end up costing us. To lose the lead 3 times in 90 minutes is almost unforgivable. Keoghs reaction, on top of everyone else’s at Bristol, was immense. If someone wants it he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Whereas on Saturday we played very well for most of the game, tonight we were bad until the penalty save. Controlled the game with no threat in the first half and found ourselves 1-0 down. Penalty save seemed to give the players belief and changed the game. Was worth missing my brother's birthday to go though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is all irrelevant anyway! They might be on the same beach as the Swans with nothing to play for....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would thrive as the workhorse/tidy player next to Mount in our side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I’m sure about 3 months ago it looked like we had the easiest run in of all the teams in the mix. how did it suddenly come to pass that our last 3 games are by far the most difficult of the 3 teams remaining in the mix? just a thought that flashed through my mind. I guess we were suppose to trounce teams in February and March meaning these last 3 would be more of a formality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been home and hosed by now, but aren't. Hey ho. I'm off to @Inverurie Rams "We're all rams together " thread for a few choruses.......?

SuperDerbySuperRams Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Final odds for 6th spot (Bet365) Derby - 1/4 Boro - 10/3 Bristol City - 14/1 Sounds a bit short on Derby but when you look at the odds that they have for us, Boro and Bristol to win, it makes sense. Later SkyBet will have a *to not reach the top 6* market, if anyone fancies a cover bet. Not the right thing to do betting against your team but I have done it before!

JfR Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I know there's an argument that West Brom might be "fighting for 3rd" when they play us on Sunday, but being as all they would likely get for doing that is 2 games of Pulisball, I don't think it's much worth fighting for, especially as they're yet to beat them this season and took 4 points off Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure most fans would opt for momentum, play your best team in every match etc. But whereas we’ll be really going for it, needing a win. If they get wind of a Leeds goal, they won’t really have their heart in it. That might go for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully our George can give his former employers a call and then the risks of playing key players before the play offs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 We are in a nice position I think, if we win on Sunday we have as good a chance as anyone to get to Wembley and get promoted. If we lose then it probably shows we weren’t quite ready for that final push but we have had a pretty good season with a rookie management who will have experienced nearly every twist and turn the championship has to offer, so I think we will have a pretty decent base for next season. To put it another way, I wouldn’t consider it an under achievement if we didn’t quite make it. Its honestly win-win for me, at least I can say I was thoroughly entertained this season which is much more than I could say under Rowett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, Villa and Leeds have both not only beaten us twice comfortably but accrued more points, so not sure what your lovely confidence is built upon.

I think we are a much stronger set up than when we last played both sides. Frank, Morris et al are making positive impacts during games, we look more balanced as a side and the players are picking up a decent bit of form individually and the whole squad. Also Leeds have lost their nerve this second half of the season and if we are playing Villa in a one off you never know. We have weaknesses, as shown tonight, but we are there on merit. Im not really being optimistic, my expectation is that Boro will get 6th, but if we get 6th then I don’t think we have any reason to fear it. Just enjoy the ride.
