Millwall our only hope..

Sat Apr 07, 2018 4:10 pm

It's starting to look very very tough for us now. Fulhams run in is so much easier than ours. Millwall away looks like their only difficult fixture.. We can't afford any more slip ups..

Tues is viral if we can somehow beat villa. I fancy our chances of 4 wins from the remaining 5 for sure

I’m not sure that necessarily the case. They have three teams fighting relegation, and two London derbies against teams with aspirations of the playoffs. We have at four games against teams with nothing to play for and two against teams with promotion aspirations. All to play for. I still think if we can get to 90 our job is done, made slightly harder by not grabbing a point last night. Think Villa are now gone so one positive from the weekend.

Very true. They'll drop around 5/6 points.

They've had luck on their side for the last 3/4 games.ive watched a close eye on them. They where extra up for it today and took a late goal against a sheffield side who went through the motions.

I think this will go to the wire and there will probably be some surprises however I think our mentality should be we need 14 points, 4 wins and 2 draws minimum. Whatever happens with Fulham is a bonus.

Aston Villa A MUST WIN because if we lose again, Fulham will overtake us in the league as they face reading at home, an easy game for Fulham

No easy games in the championship.

Best just chill out.
Situation changes every week.

We are still in charge


Villa are pretty much out of it now

Go up there and win and it'll be a massive blow to Fulham .

Villa will be out of it

Think Villa will be well up for it. Last chance saloon and all that.

Wouldn't surprise me to see them drop point against reading.

If you expected city to go up the easy way with games to spare then you need to know that isn't the city way.

Yeah but that's when we did a wolves and out spent everyone in the division.

Had we scored one of those penalties on Friday, it wouldn't have made a difference to the circumstances that we're in. Fulham would still only be one win away from us, gap is now 2 points but would've been 3 with a draw, but Fulham's superior goal difference (after making up another win and inevitable heavy wins to come) would mean they'd go above us anyway.

Let’s just worry about ourselves before we go wanting other clubs too do us favours. It’s still in our hands, let’s take it one game at a time bloooooooobirds

Nothing we can do about Fulham. Likelihood is they will drop a few points somewhere. Our issue is with ourselves. We aren't quite firing on all cylinders and have tough away games against teams showing a bit of form.

Villa are going to throw everything at us, they need this win desperately, I think it'll open them to counter attacking from us and we'll score 2 and take the win.

Millwall are fighting for the play offs it will be no easy task for fulham, millwall top of the form table.

What form table are you looking at? Last 8 games Fulham have 22pts, Millwall 20, Cardiff 19.

Last 6 Fulham 16pts, same as Millwall. Another 2 games before they play and I hope Brentford can do something against them before then as they stuffed them at home in December (albeit against 10 men for most of the 2nd half). Mind you back then we were 17 points ahead of Fulham :shock:
