cambridgeshire canary 6,777 Posted March 30 (edited) On the one hand they go up and get battered 5-0 every match, lose their manager and all their best players. On the other hand they don't go up, lose their manager and all their best players. Â Edited March 30 by cambridgeshire canary 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert N. LiM 4,464 Posted March 30 That really is a tough set of games. Only Huddersfield looks like an 'easy' game, but even they might be tricky if they need a result to stay up on the last day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makham 81 Posted March 30 Such a conflict of interests. Hull and Coventry really need to still have a real shout of the playoffs at the time of their games against them. But i want us to be well clear in the top 6. Here's hoping it's WBA whose form collapses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,274 Posted March 30 Binners can do us a favour by beating Hull and Coventry. The onus and all the pressure is on Leeds and Leicester now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,678 Posted March 30 They definitely rode their luck a bit in the second half yesterday, but at this stage it’s all about getting the results and they probably played within themselves to get the result.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex_ncfc 663 Posted March 30 (edited) Said months ago they are definitely going up. In this league, you don't sit on only 5 defeats all season in April and not go up. They're up, and it's f*cked me right off. Only saving grace would be if we beat them next week and also go up in the playoffs. Edited March 30 by alex_ncfc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And most of all a good manager. Unfortunately for them they don't have the resources to bring in 10 hew players. It will be a bit messy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgncfc 1,253 Posted March 30 Do we know they don't have the resources? Every chance that McKenna will get a couple of loans and spend his £50m a lot better than Stuart Webber did. I suspect they'll make a decent fist of it - the way they play relies very heavily on a mobile 9. Hopefully they won't come after Sargent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,274 Posted March 30 As it stands all scenarios are possible: 1. They go up, we don't 2. We go up they don't 3. We both go up 4. Neither go up Which will it be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We looked jaded yesterday, were lucky to win and now face Southampton and yourselves before some other very tricky fixtures. I was very confident for the upcoming derby a couple of months back, not so much now. Anything could still happen, I wouldn't even write off Southampton for top two if they beat us.  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Canary 705 Posted March 30 They are tougher set of fixtures than I’d realised. I’d say somewhere between 12 and 15 points. I think Leeds will better that but Leicester need to pull their fingers out after Monday or they have fũċked it right up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy Raggatip 61 Posted March 30 Leicester's run in looks kind if they can get it together I fear for Foxes fans that their team has got complacent, started thinking they could put their feet up, its hard to get back on the bridle after you lose that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think your run in is that hard given how much you’ve walked it so far. What makes you think anything will change now?! As much as it pains me to say it, unless you implode out of thin air I think you’ll get autos. Ffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ipswich have an appalling record against the top sides but if Hull and Coventry are out of it by the time they play them those games suddenly look a bit easier. But bearing in mind their record against top 6 teams I very much doubt they would get through the play offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I saw your run-in... It's an intriguing aspect of the end of the season that with us playing you and Leicester next two games, we're going to have a bit of a say in the automatic promotion race. Equally, with your remaining fixtures, you're going to have a big say in the play-off race. There could be the very weird spectacle of the two East Anglian rivals helping each other out. Except next weekend, when we are going to f***ing end you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
