king canary 7,577 Posted April 11, 2015 I don''t see them catching us but if we don''t get the top two we will probably have to play at least one of these teams in the play-offs. Derby seem a werid team, great squad but really fragile confidence. Brentford look dangerous on the counter and Pritchard just scored a screamer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,577 Posted April 11, 2015 Pritchard is a genuinely brilliant player- if Tottenham don''t want him back I think we should be looking at him as the long term replacement for Wes. He bossed the game at Carrow Road (aided by the Whitaker in midfield experiment). I think they would be the team I''d least want to face in the play-offs.

Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted April 11, 2015 Pritchard is one of those rare players who look consistently and comfortably above the level of the Championship and who doesn''t wear a NCFC shirt. Jota is vey good too.They should have buried Derby by now who still look shot of confidence. Since their bubble burst with Martin''s injury they have struggled to refind their swagger.

YankeeCanary 0 Posted April 11, 2015 Good. Now, if it ends 1-1 those two teams have just significantly reduced the odds of catching Norwich, even if we fail to get the desired result today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In other words, we would only net 3 points while Brentford would need to get all 12 points. That''s without even giving similar weighting to the unlikelihood of their catching Watford or Middlesbrough. That''s definitely not going to happen, is it Lincoln? Lincoln, I honestly think you need help in order to acquire more confidence in your own club and less confidence in others who are trying to catch us.

I still believe they will finish in the top 6 and win the play offs though. They we''re the best team to come to Carrow road this season, I hope we can stay in the top two as I wouldn''t fancy playing them again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''m simply praising a very good Brentford side, who have surpassed anyone''s preseasons expectations. Whoever finishes 3rd will be deflated, Derby and Ipswich blow hot and cold - I think Wolves could do well in the playoffs but ultimately I fancy Brentfords style of play to suit the mentality needed for the playoffs. That''s why we''ve got to finish top two. My four for the playoffs are Bournmouth, Middlesborough, Brentford and Wolves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
