Bill 1,788 Posted February 5, 2017 [quote user="nutty nigel"]Just asking for a friend.....Are Villa and Steve Bruce out of the play off picture?[/quote]Certainly not, unlike us they showed ''hambition'' and invested a huge amount of moneyI can see them coming off the last bend and into the straight at a fast old lick ... most likely getting four or five points a game and crossing the line marginally behind Newcastlehow they will replace is as yet unknownPalace have Fat Sam, another pair of safe hands (and then into his inside pocket) who is keeping his powder dry before one all mighty leap up the table.... at some pointand Bournemouth, the current media darlings, who with the ever assured Mings in the heart of the defence are guaranteed to stay up... at least until mid May - Mings and Grabban, what a wonderful investment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted February 5, 2017 [quote user="nutty nigel"]Just asking for a friend.....Are Villa and Steve Bruce out of the play off picture?[/quote]😝Well, they''re 10 points adrift of us, so if we can''t catch teams 10 points off us then Villa can''t catch us Eddie.Joking apart, they seem to be falling apart - relegation beckons 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YankeeCanary 0 Posted February 5, 2017 Well, at least one positive coming out of the thread is that Lakey is FINALLY acknowledging Chris Hughton may fail. [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgncfc 1,221 Posted February 5, 2017 We are one point worse off than we were two years ago after 29 games and if we had beaten Boro at home in that season we would have finished second.This year two of our last 3 games are Brighton at home and Leeds away.So, not impossible.

sgncfc 1,221 Posted February 5, 2017 [quote user="nutty nigel"]Just asking for a friend.....Are Villa and Steve Bruce out of the play off picture?[/quote]Yes. They need 40 points from 17 games to have an outside chance. That''s 13 wins and a draw. It ain''t gonna happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted February 5, 2017 And this, Rogue, is what I mean. Now Brighton may come back into it today, but I very much doubt it from watching their recent televised matches. If automatic is to be a possibility then we need the top 2 teams to feel the pressure and falter, catching the teams that are 10 or so points ahead of us will take care of itself if we go on another good run. Given we have to play Newcastle, Brighton, Leeds, Huddersfield then obviously we can''t catch them in a single game but taking 3 points off them could be a sizeable, and telling, chunk by the end of the season.

Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted February 5, 2017 Am currently at Griffin Park, the Bees are pretty good value for their lead; main thing from Brighton is Knockhaert a bit lively and Murray seems to be one of those big guys who will go down at the merest touch, and is getting a lot from the ref.

Crafty Canary 495 Posted February 5, 2017 We are playing for sixth place and that will require a run of good results and slip ups by others. Should we make it then anything is possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted February 5, 2017 ...well, Brighton did what sides at the top do and got something out of it at 3-3; would have surely not had a chance if Brentford had converted a pen for 3-0 but there you go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
