Dethorn Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I am ever the optimist and love the playoffs even when we don't make (with the exception of QPR) but even I am begining to think there won't be any playoffs for us this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JfR Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 One thing I think is worth pointing out with Bristol's run-in is that even though most of the games look winnable for them in terms of their opponents' positions, in the return fixtures of those last 6 games they have only won one, and only picked up 6 points from 18 from them. I don't think it's something to bank on that they will have that sort of result from the last 6 now, but it's worth bringing up to remember that they're not necessarily home and dry just yet.

Inglorius Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Shouldn't this be entitled crawl for the playoffs? I didn't see much urgency for anything last night. Or maybe drunken stagger towards the playoffs is more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukedcfc Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Villa could slip up tonight, I am going to watch it and see how it unfolds. Lets see if their players show urgency and commitment, unlike ours last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could do with the same kind of backers that Wolves have. However, a quality manager needs to be part of it, witness the red dogs who have had the investment without the management. Lots of posts about loanees returning etc. l’m sure FL and JD have probably thought about this before now and hopefully regarded the situation at the start of the season.

Playoffs gone but I think that’s where we are right now. Really don’t get the people slating Lampard. Under him we’ve produced some outstanding performances this season, but inconsistency has hit us due to young players, and players who aren’t really suited to the way he plays. He signed a 3 year contract it could well be a 3 year job, and if people aren’t happy with that need to think about the poor managerial appointments, constant change and poor signings for lots of money that have ultimately put us in a major rebuilding position. Farke at Norwich, Johnson at Bristol and Wilder at Sheff U are proof that it takes time to build teams. We have to go down that route now because of where we are against FFP. Fair comments and I'm pretry much where you are at. Playing devils advocate though, the outstanding performances have been few and far between. 4 or 5 out of nearly 50 games is no great return. You say we don't have players that suit the way he plays, well he spent £18m in the summer, plus 3 loan players, so I would expect at least the spine of the team to resemble players who suit the way he plays. Out of all the money he spent, which players would you say have come in and nailed down a starting place? I'm happy with FL if he has a plan he can stick to and has identified players to suit, summer transfer window is massive for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the crux of the argument and I'm yet to see a consistent style of play, or any type of consistency for that matter. This should annoy the happy clappers again!

Marriot Ram99 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 With the hard fixtures Villa still have to play, with them playing Bristol city on Saturday and Leeds and Norwich if they loose this we will be right back in it. I don't want to get my hopes up though as it wouldn't surprise me if they still end up winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
