The Promotion Run In

Goals win games.

 

It frustrates me that after we went 4-0 v Charlton (h) and Fulham (a) we seemed content with that an never pushed the "annihilate them" button but at least we did get a late 5th in both.

 

I AGREE - WE SHOULD'VE WON THEM BOTH BY 9 or 10 - FFS WATFORD.

 

But.....according to Derek "games change games"

 

But by settling for the win and not pushing on, perhaps we were fresher for the following games, both of which we won.

I think there is greater value in being fresh for the next game than smashing a team and being knackered. 3 points is more important in a game than goal difference.

 

It would be nice if someone could post the fixture lists for all the teams that are realistically in with a shout of automatic promotion or maybe for the current top eight or so?

I would do it, but I am sure there are people on here who have far better computer skills than me and would be able to collate all that information in minutes whereas it would take me forever doing it the old fashioned way :-[

 

I did this which is a decent comparison: http://www.wfcforums.com/showthread.php?p=1054649#post1054649

Lower the number = harder the games.

 

You know this club has come a long way when a supporter voices his discontent at two 5-0 wins.

 

We've been over this total BS so many times. It's best not to respond.

Yes - we only get 3 points for beating teams in the top 8. Beat other teams all you like as long as you realise you don't get any points for doing so.

 

Any takers for the above?

 

Did you ignore my post?

 

I had a look, but I could not see the fixtures anywhere on that thread?

Following on from WhaleBait, I'm bored and fancy colouring the games on expected degree of difficulty. At this point of the season it is rather hard to predict anything as the bottom teams play their best football when trying to stave off relegation, anyway.

Nottm Forest (A)
Ipswich (H)
Derby (A)
Bournemouth (A)
Wigan (H)
Watford (A)
Rotherham (H)

I've somehow got

1. Norwich
2. Bournemouth
3. Derby (GD)
4. Watford (GD)
5. M'Boro
6. Brentford

Bloody hope Bournemouth aren't above us.

 

How you've been using these forums for over 8 years and don't quite know how to navigate to another website to view a fixture list I don't quite know.

 

I love you Malky

 

He's having a beer and he's having a pie

 

I love Malky right now but I'm fickle. By about 9.30pm I might hate him again.

 

If Dirty Leeds can take points off Ips**t I might start liking Russell Crowe too.

TBO though that might be taking things to a bit far.

 

The next three games influence the importance of the following three. We can afford a slip or two in those games if we win the next 3.

 

Leeds ahead

 

It's going to get very interesting

 

And if we're if the current situation was going into the last game, it wouldn't be that awful. Obviously be better being 4 points clear by then, but we'll see how we go.

 

Don't rule our Brentford for a late surge. They have what looks like the easiest run in while Boro have the worse

Ipswich v Brentford
Brentford v Cardiff
Blackburn v Brentford
Brentford v Millwall
Fulham v Brentford
Brentford v Nottm Forest
Derby v Brentford
Sheff Wed v Brentford
Brentford v Bolton
Reading v Brentford
Brentford v Wigan

Nottm Forest v Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough v Ipswich
Derby v Middlesbrough
Bournemouth v Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough v Wigan
Watford v Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough v Rotherham
Middlesbrough v Wolves
Norwich v Middlesbrough
Fulham v Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough v Brighton

 

and leeds are ahead yet again....

 

Top results, excellent position for us, need to capitalise this and make Saturday count!

 

Happy days, Ipswich and Norwich both lose

 

Hee hee!
Norwich lost!

 

Wow.....an East Anglian double......now feels like last night's win was worth 6 points!

 

amazing.

 

great 2 days for us, in our hands

now I'm getting really nervous

 

That's gone quite well!!!

 

But they're unbeatable.
They're basically the Brazilian 1970 World Cup team, with six fingers on each hand obviously.
