nutty nigel 7,539 Posted March 8, 2011 Yes and every point is a point won. Can''t be doing with the points lost crap. We never had them to lose. They all go to the total at the end whether they are won at home or away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drurys dodgy knee 0 Posted March 9, 2011 We have only lost twice in the league since the end of October. I haven''t looked into it myself, but if there is a team in the top four leagues who can match that, I''d like to know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canarino 0 Posted March 9, 2011 Burnley are going to be in the mix but of course, they have to win their games in hand first. It just shows though that all our predictions (logical though they may seem) count for nothing as everyone at the top is getting unexpected results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,539 Posted March 9, 2011 I think it''s quite likely that Burnley will be in the mix because both their games in hand are home fixtures and they are particiularly strong at home. But as Nottingham Forest found out points on the board are preferable to games in hand because they are yours for keeps! Leicester were "nailed on" for a play-off place a few weeks ago, in fact some were tipping them for the top two. But their run petered out and they are now mid-table. I think it''s a shame that Leicester managed to score late on with that free kick. Every goal could count in a season where goal difference could decide one of the automatic places. Swansea hold the edge by four goals in that scenario but there isn''t much between the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted March 9, 2011 Leicester v BurnleyNott''m Forest v Burnley, Burnley v Swansea, Leeds v Burnley, Burnley v Cardiff, If they carry on their run then its fine for us, they''ll have taken a lot of points from other rivals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
