BaltimoreBird 127 Posted February 23, 2019 0-0 work for everyone? Let's have them both drop a couple points to us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,358 Posted February 23, 2019 A draw is the perfect result. Alternatively, a win for Sheff U will make WACCOE a much more fun place to read this evening! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,633 Posted February 23, 2019 You can make a case for any result - a win for either puts the other back, but a draw means both avoid three points so that’s probably best for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaltimoreBird 127 Posted February 23, 2019 Sheffield United look to be the more dangerous side with more options and creativity going forward. Little bit of hoofball from West Brom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,489 Posted February 23, 2019 WBA play Leeds next so it could change again. Leeds should win easily at Loftus Rd ....QPR seem to be on a poor run and suffering from a loss of form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted February 23, 2019 Again a draw Leeds v WBA would be great. QPR have only won once this year, so shouldn't be a problem for Leeds? As long as we keep winning it doesn't matter what the rest do. We have 4 home games in April before our final game at Villa who will be on the beach. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 26 Posted February 23, 2019 Leeds got a bit lucky against Bolton watching their highlights and will face both Brom, Bristol and Utd be interesting to see how they handle this week playing Tues and Fri, I think they could struggle. Everything still to play for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted February 23, 2019 I certainly wouldn't write QPR off, for their game vs Leeds. Only saw the 2nd half of the West Brom game and they looked a limited, old school, side. I don't know what their wage bill is, but if they do not go up, they may well need a drastic overhaul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Canary1 91 Posted February 23, 2019 We just gotta win all of our remaining games and all will be good 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted February 23, 2019 Yep we’re the team that has just beaten the (former) leaders and the “form team” and have won 5/7 despite having a really tough run of games. The others will be fearing us. We only have Boro to play of the top teams. As long as we keep on like we’re doing, we’re going towin this . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splendidrush 699 Posted February 23, 2019 I'd still be happy with second place, ultimately, it's all about promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said "realistically", and realistically the second placed team will have at least 85 points (though in reality closer to 90). So for West Brom, they'd need to win 9 out of the remaining 12 games, having failed to score at home. Which isn't impossible, but is improbable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Il Pirata 249 Posted February 23, 2019 Agreed with that totally ICF. Can't write Boro off though. They're on form, and with players such as Howson, Besic and Mikel, they have real talent. The fact they have us to play and a game in hand means they're still in with a shout. I have a feeling Leeds will falter, and West Brom will be inconsistent. Norwich, Sheff Utd and Boro top three for me. Hopefully in that order! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 318 Posted February 23, 2019 WBA good away poor at home. Sheff U favourites to win today in my eyes and they did. Unfortunarely for me both didn't score with Norwich winning lost out on 60 quid. SheffU are our major competitors for promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duke63 541 Posted February 23, 2019 Lots of games to play and twist and turns to come. As long as we keep playing as we are, then I think we are the team the others will want to finish above Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted February 24, 2019 The three best teams in the division are Norwich, Sheff Utd and Bristol. Others may have better individual players, but IMO these three are demonstrating the power of the group playing to their collective style. Would be great to see all three go up this year and the supposed big clubs be left behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We showed today why we will be going up and the others should be thinking about us. Yes I have been drinking and I am full of bravado tonight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
