We've had an amazing run and all credit to the team.....

[Jbanged]

Are you people being real? We have a much stronger team than those around us. I wouldn't get my knickers tangled that quickly.

Barnsley who just played Villa off the park at Villa Park and won 3-1? I'm not too optimistic

Doesn't mean much. But yes if we don't beat Barnsley, we go into the 2 big home matches in very bad form. That would be worrying.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Oh no, we're only 4 points clear of third, who won their fifth game on the trot by narrowly beating the mighty Rotherham..........yep we're buggered

 

[Javeaseagull]

Judging by the reaction that is pretty good trolling!

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Play offs again for us.

Your negativity is astounding.... Why do you bother with it? Take up tiddlywinks or get an allotment plot to pass your time. FFS...

TBH I think Rotherham could do that at the moment

 

[beorhthelm]

so Newcastle, with the same recent form, aren't top 2 material either?

who is top 2 material then, the teams 4-5 points behind?

 

[Goldstone_groover]

They say the last six miles of a marathon are harder than the first 20. We always hit the f*cking wall and even when we don't someone runs faster!

Yes and Huddersfield will have a game in hand....

Fair point but we struggled against 13th placed Ipswich!

Er, you're kinda contradicting yourself there aren't you? They won their FIFTH game in a row. And yes they one by a goal but they had 33 shots tonight. They are bloody rampant.

Newc, Hudd & Norwich will go up in May. Squad quality, and/or momentum at just the right time, and a style to over power opponents.

Too many draws and losses creeping into Albion's form at squeaky bum time, with little old Preston and Huddersfield laying the blueprint as to out play us.

 

[junior]

Sadly I'm in the same camp as the OP. We've been distinctly average for a while now and Huddersfield are on one. I too think it's probably play-offs again, which we'll probably **** up.

To be clear, this IS NOT what i WANT to happen, I'm just starting to prepare myself so I'm not heartbroken when we loose to Wednesday in the play off final followed by a firesale.

 

[NooBHA]

But... We are not top 2 material sadly. We had a great run in the first half of the season with a fair sprinkling of luck. But in the last 3 months we've been very average. The good news is we should make the play offs.

The sooner we manage this expectation the better. Our squad is excellent, and we have done brilliantly to get top 2 but we simply dont have enough to sustain this.

That being the case you should be able to tell which two teams have done more than we have ?

Norwich?!

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

To us 'oldies' on this site (i.e. people posting way before the great 'lost post scandal' of July 2003, Christ that's coming up for 13 and half years ago!) Dwayne was the wind-up super king, a young lad who always posted about his bulging muscles and upwardly mobile life, salary, cars, etc, etc........!

HOWEVER, I cannot disagree with much of his post tonight.

We've not been good, dominating, for weeks/months, whilst the points have still been coming in granted. Huddersfield's winner has been a real kick in the stomach and I along with others are seriously worried that they will overhaul us by the end of the month.....this doesn't mean I'll give less support than normal, just a view from a very down beat fan.

 

[sydney]

Definitely 2 points dropped, but a win v Barnsley and we'll go into the 2 big home games set up well.

barnsley that just won 3-1 away at villa you mean...

It's not even close to squeaky bum time yet.
All to play for. If Huddersfield manage to overhaul us by the end of the month. There will still be 12 games to go and everything to play for.

The same Villa that haven't won in EIGHT.

 

[Weststander]

Yes, via playoffs.
