ramtique Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 While all the talk is of a three-way tussle for 6th, Swansea are the dark horses everyone seems to be ignoring! They may look too far off it at 5 points behind us, but like us they have three games left: a very winnable game at home to Hull Saturday, followed by home to us and then a trip to Blackburn final day. If they beat Hull and then us, which is entirely possible with their strong home form, they could be right in the mix depending on the Brizzle v us, Boro results.

Yeah, in the post QPR interview Colin Gibson said "better or match Bristol and Boro's results and we're 6th" and I immediately thought that wasn't true. If all 3 of us have an abysmal last 2/3 games, Swansea will likely take 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have left it too late I think. If we were to beat Bristol on Saturday, then we'd realistically need a point from two games to finish above them, considering goal difference. If Swansea were to finish above us, we'd have had such a melt down that we didn't deserve playoffs anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inglorius Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Yer why don't we just concentrate on influencing our own results, if we don't do that and miss out on the playoffs then there's no one to blame but ourselves. Or Lampard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the reason is this: not only do they have to get great results themselves, they also have to rely on THREE other teams ALL failing to do the business. That's why it's a massive long shot. (150/1 at the bookies vs. 20-1 for Boro.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Ace Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 They are black swan's riding dark horses into a really long dark cave on a planet that is about to disappear into a black hole. But that's what I gave our play-off chances two games ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Swansea should be out of it unless we implode looking at the table. We just have to focus on ourselves, if we do our job properly they’re no threat, it’ll be our own fault if they come into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I thought the Utch boys had made the big time, we have a very full minibus from the Black Swan pub in Utch to every home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
