Next Four Days

[Spinal Wheels]

The next four days could have a large impact on our chances of making one of the two automatic promotion places, as both Boro & Hull play their games in hand. Fingers crossed that Blackburn, Birmingham, & Wolves can do us a big favour, & by 10pm this Friday evening the race will be even closer if that's possible.

One down. two to go...

 

[KNC]

Crazy talk,I know, but if Burnley f up on their 12.30 KO Saturday, we could go into the Preston game knowing a win would take us top.

 

[The Albion Roar]

Still a quarter of the season to go yet.

I care not at the moment. The only time being top of the league is important is after game 46

 

[KNC]

Totally agree
Just saying like

Oh come on Mr Misery. I love stuff like this. It might all come crashing down after 5 minutes of the Preston game starting but "what if" is what drives a lot of us football supporters on.

We were top of the league for a while, weren't we? I loved it, every bit of it. It was important then.

Your view here is such a dull outlook on life.

Perhaps but I would rather be dull now and ecstatic after game 46 than happy now and disappointed after game 46 - This is the best time to hit form rather than the beginning of the season. Yes of course it was nice being top early in the season but not important.

Do you remember the first time Red Rum won the Grand National when he came from behind and overtook the other horse at the last minute. Not everyone remembers the name of the horse he beat but Red Rum is in the history books

I am this way because I like to try and manage Expectations. Everyone is different

Crisp.

Yeh I remembered it but not everyone will. Thats all I was saying. Only winners are immortalized

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

Lets be honest - we will probably come in the playoffs and lose to Derby.

But it's all good fun while it lasts

Not if we get top 2.

We'll need to beat Burnley at the AMEX, but looking at the current table and with Middlesbrough still to play Hull, it could be that the stars are finally starting to align for us.

Last night's game has really opened things up. I know it's only one game, but it would have been really tough to close a 7 point gap on Boro. A (max) 4 point gap, on two clubs, while still large is achievable. The stars have to align; but it's possible...

Except when they won the FA Cup in 1983...

Boro have been inconsistent for a while, when they score first they generally don't lose. Could signing Rhodes have been a mistake, upsetting the apple cart etc. I had them nailed on for 6 points this week and then in my opinion it would have been 3 teams chasing 1 place.If Leadbitter is out for any time this is like us losing Kayal, and we will probably, to suspension. Hoping Hull still progress in the FAC, looks like they will be playing twice a week for the remainder of the season, and sky will have a say if they keep moving games. Burnley have to play 2 local derby's and you can't predict these matches. Blackburn at home saturday and Preston away. Birmingham have all of the top 4 to play at Home, so will have a massive say.Hull have 7 homes games left all winnable, so they will be thinking it is definitely in their own hands. They have Derby, Middlesbro and Birmingham away.

I believe we will not have a bad run again, blip possibly, but we are definitely back in the mix. A win at preston on saturday would be massive and if results went our way.... well when the mooosive club turn up on next Tuesday we could be back in the top 2.
Here's hoping.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

2 good weekday results this week so far.

Now it's Birmingham's turn to try to win against Hull.

 

[Icy Gull]

You do know how this is going to pan out don't you? Birmingham will beat Hull and then on Saturday we'll not turn up at Preston

*followed the Albion too long*

Yes, it could well be another classic 'throw all the good work away' Saturday.


Or, perhaps equally, they won't cope with Murphy and Knockaert, and the goals will keep going in for the albion.
