Popular Post Footballwipe Posted 11 April Popular Post Share Posted 11 April (edited) Reminds me of that midweek round in 15/16 when we drew with West Brom at home, only for both Arsenal and Spurs to lose their games so we got away with that bad result. We felt deflated but we're ultimately given a reprieve. Must take advantage of it now! Edited 11 April by Footballwipe 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very unlikely IMO. If Southampton won every game they would likely go up as they’ll have taken points off us and Leeds. As someone said above, if they won their games in hand and Leeds, they are level with them. Winning their games in hand would also put them 4 points behind us and I’d be surprised if we don’t throw at least 4 points away from our other games so I’d be certain they’d go up if they won all their games. But they won’t so moot point really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teblin Posted 11 April Share Posted 11 April Based on how it's going 3 and a draw might just do us (for promotion that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 11 April Share Posted 11 April Can’t help but think Leeds or Ipswich will lose at least 1 more game. Ipswich have got some tough games, be surprised if they get more than 9 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 11 April Share Posted 11 April It's going to be horribly close, unfortunately we've faltered already and now the pressure is really on its extremely difficult not to slip up but tough shit, we simply have to get 10 points from our remaining 5 games and it should be enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the title, yes, but I don't think it'll be that close for the automatics in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact we could be 6 points clear of Ipswich by the time they play next after this weekend, could potentially make it a lot less tense. This is assuming we win all our games in this time of course and Ipswich win this weekend, if they lose this weekend and we do win all of ours we could have it all but wrapped up.

Muzzy_no7 Posted 11 April Share Posted 11 April How on earth did they find over 5 added minutes when no one scored in the Ipswich fixture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when the going was good earlier on in the season, someone on the pod (perhaps a few of you) said “if anyone can **** it up from here it’s us.” There’s literally a thin sheet of bog roll between the sides. Someone needs to get down the cash and carry and invest heavily in bog roll because whoever does go up is going to have some nervous trips to the trap.

I don’t think that one needs overthinking to be fair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no confidence in our lot getting anymore than another 6 points, Plymouth is a must win and maybe we'll beat Blackburn. WBA, Southampton and Preston away are games we could quite easily bottle.

Correct or we could win them all because we have the quality to do it.

Pliskin Posted 11 April Share Posted 11 April (edited) Thing is, if we can somehow stop being shit and win our next two games it puts us in an incredible position…… because then we play Southampton and then Preston one being a game in hand and one being an early kick off. The next three weeks are the most important. If we can win 3 from 3 or even win 2 and draw 1, I think it’s done. But I just don’t trust Enzo to get it right. I’ve got a feeling Cov will do us a massive favour. Get our results right from here, and we could be promoted if Ipswich fail to beat Cov.

Not saying you won’t be right necessarily about the outcome but West Brom and Southampton are at home. Only Plymouth and Preston left away.

This season, with the points tally for the top 3 being so high (even 4th as Southampton are likely to finish on an abnormally high total as well), you would imagine it's going to feel like a massive blow to whoever ends up finishing 3rd. It will take a massive regroup. I feel Ipswich would be able to do it and be up for it, however us and Leeds, after probably expecting to be going up, it would be a hard one to swallow.

CloudFox Posted 11 April Share Posted 11 April Brighton apparently looking to poach Russell Martin of Southampton this summer, as they expect De Zerbi to get snapped up. Apparently talks took place during the last international break—not ideal for Southampton going into their run in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
