Fulham would be my choice for the third spot.

I thought it was just me who remembered that game for their time wasting.

Despite all of the French sunshine and caffeine you speak a lot of sense James!
Out of the teams with playoff hopes I would like it to be Fullham. The trips to Craven Cottage in the last three season have been some of the best days out. It seems like a great club and their fans are decent as well. Don't like Reading for obvious reasons. Huddersfield I no problem with them at all and if they do it, then they deserve it. Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday seem to have the same level of entitlement attitude, so duck them.
I think Hudds have an outside chance of catching Newcastle still. They are home playing Preston next who got demolished by Leeds so their promotion push is over. Newcastle are at home to Leeds next who probably need the points more. The next game for Hudds comes soon afterwards and Derby will have been away to Brentford a few days earlier so might be tired and also their promotion chances are over now too. Newcastle are away to Ipswich who have lost less at home than Newcastle have I think. So if the results go Hudds' way then they could be very close with a game in hand which would give them a boost for their home game against Fulham to possibly get to 83 points. Newcastle will then have a tricky game against Preston two days later and would be under pressure.

Lol.....No they haven't
I posted elsewhere that Hudds could start to smell blood and get a boost if Leeds beat Newcastle (who have had some strange home defeats). Preston's play off hopes are over now so Hudds have a good chance of beating them next, especially as they are at home where they are usually impressive at. The only away game Hudds have in the three games is against Derby but they have just lost their promotion chances too and would have been away to Brentford a few days earlier. So if Newcastle fail to beat Ipswich too (they only lost 4 games at home compared to 5 for Newcastle I think) then Hudds will have ae boost for their home game with Fulham and could possibly get to 83 while Newcastle will be on 84 or 85 if my predictions happen. It's not all that unlikely. Newcastle would then be under pressure for their 44th game against Preston two days after Hudds play.

I'd rather Huddersfield just started resting players in preparation for the play-offs, if it's all the same.

Wagner made one dumb comment to gee up his troops and I don't think we should be obsessing about that.
I look at what he's done as very similar to what Hughton did last season. If we deserved to go up last season, so do Hudds this season. Who will? Them or Leeds I reckon

Nope. I also remember it well. It was hilarious to watch their keeper rushing to take every kick after he'd spent the past hour wasting as much time as possible.

It is rather sweet when that happens. Blackburn at the Amex the other day.
Wednesday is my tip. Have you seen the amount of good strikers they have ?

This is NSC – that's how we roll. See Nigel "If they can keep with us" Adkins and Paul "Premier League Ready" Barber as previous examples
That's an outrageous comment. NSC traffic would plummet if people took a rational view to comments about the Albion.
Indeed, if Reading were promoted there'd only be 2 relegation places to avoid.
If they get to 89 points and are cheated out of promotion by shit refs, then I'll agree, they deserve it.
Indeed. Huddersfield will deserve it if they finish third, but it really isn't comparable to our situation last season. They are almost out of it and we still have 5 (6) to play.
Wagner's comments were ill advised. Especially as they probably referred to play-off performances and not our run of form such as winning 5 in 6 games in April last year.
I think Wagner must now confront there real bottlers. His loan players. They were the stars of his show but have no emotional investment or financial commitment to care as much as his permanent players.
However, we have seen great performance from our loan players Tomori & Poco but they are not our spine or our best players.

If Huddersfield fail to go up Wagner will be poached by Norwich next season. The Canaries have pinched there head of football guy Webber the other week. He is responsible for replacing the manager. Norwich have placed Irvine in temporary charge until the end of the season. I guess they are simply waiting until Town fail to go up before making the move. Just a hunch like.
Really?
Mooy has continued to perform, and Brown and Palmer have been out injured.
