TIL 1010 4,722 Posted January 16, 2021 It will look even better if Barnsley turnover Swansea shortly which is quite possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted January 16, 2021 We are going to be hard to catch now. And my strong gut feeling is no one will either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petriix 2,834 Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Lots of games in hand through. It might look very different once they are played. We are doing really well to be top of such a high quality league. I really do think that the bar for automatic promotion might be higher this year than in previous seasons. Edited January 16, 2021 by Petriix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted January 16, 2021 The ones to watch out for are Brentford as winning their games in hand puts them 3 behind us. Mind you, rather have the points on the board than the games in hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary73 150 Posted January 16, 2021 Yes - Our penultimate home game is Bournemouth on 17 April, then Watford at home on 20 April before the final game of the season at QPR. Conversely, of the top 7 our only away game amongst them is at Swansea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes the teams around us have games in hand, but effectively now they all have to win their games in hand. I think anyone would agree it’s far better to get 3 points prior to the other teams around you as then you put pressure on the those teams and they need to win their games in hand in order to catch up. Having games in hand also means more fixtures crammed. Would have been a different matter if we’d drawn or lost, but in my opinion games in hand for other teams only pose a threat to us if we drop points 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted January 16, 2021 Brentford are doing what they always do, but ultimately when push comes to shove, they bottle it every single time so let’s not forget that. Kind of bored of hearing every season whenever we’re in this league about what they’ll do once they’re in the Premier League next year. Hear it every single year without fail and quite frankly it’s boring now. First of all, instead of talking about it, just bloody do it! Some of them think they’ve already won their two games in hand and are 3 points off us now. Dangerous game that, counting the wins before you’ve played the minutes. Just ask Bournemouth, they were in that position very recently and now look at them, their form is appalling! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
