Colos Short and Curlies Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 2 hours ago, Abacus said: I'd say it's 50-50, and Burnley is huge. Fine, we're 3 points ahead with that game in hand. GD isn't very different. On the other hand, lose that one, and GD means it's effectively 2 points, barring some freak results. I.e. if Fulham catch up points wise, they'll have also opened the goal difference gap. I also thought West Brom were gone, yet they're a bit of a wild card now, even if they've got too much to do realistically. But a couple more freak results and you never know. But momentum wise, us playing quite well, getting an unexpected point, and Fulham losing as they did feels like a big one. Should never have been this close, except for this manager and the total lack of care from the top which caused this manager, of course. We beat Burnley and they are right in the brown stuff, Southampton and us were 2 massive games in their run in. Brighton would he right back in it as well. Lose and its a straight shootout between us and Fulham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trewicks tash Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Liverpool away on the 24th could be half a chance if Liverpool can see off Real Madrid in the champions league they have a semi final on the 27th ' sure to rest a few Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) 7. Still think we’ll lose at Fulham so we need to outdo them in another matchday. Edited April 4, 2021 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) I celebrated the Villa goals more than i did ours (Joelinton's anyway as i stopped watching at 1-2, just laughed when he scored), it's weird and i don't know what to think/feel anymore. It suggests deep down i want us to stay up but i felt nothing watching our game. Edited April 4, 2021 by ToonArmy1892 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Brave Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Fulham messing up today after being in front and us getting a late draw has changed things in our favour a tad. Fulham are now 8/11 favs to go down. We are 6/5 so nowt much it in. I think (hope) Fulham will lose to Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U. Beat Burnley at home and draw at home to Wolves and away to Southampton. ( 31 points ) I also think ( yup hope again ) we draw away to Burnley, draw at home to West ham and Arsenal and beat Sheff Utd. Of course we will lose to Liverpool , Leicester and Man city. ( 35 points) Last game v Fulham away, won't matter. Totally out of our hands relying on Fulham not to win more than one more game, a bit bleak but that's all i got. Either way, if we do stay up next season will just be the same target of staying up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Would really fucking love for the last match not to matter because we were already staying up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) 5 down from a 6 - I think it's about 50:50 now. We're shite but we're scraping together enough draws and Fulham are chocking enough that even as we are, we're getting more points that them. But they're just a win away, and if they can maintain a 3 point gap and same/better GD, I'd fancy them to beat us on last day and send us down. Next weekend is big for both us and Fulham, both have to be looking at getting points there. Edited April 5, 2021 by Inferior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Have to win the winnable games. Burnley and Sheff Utd. Then it's what kind of performance we can put in and if the other team turn up in the west ham and arsenal games but you'd hope we might get something out of those. There's still time to save ourselves. Really crucial that Wilson comes back firing and stays fit. Also need Fulham to continue this run and lose their winnable games.

Danh1 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 9 hours ago, huss9 said: was 10, now a 9. Aye same. Wilson, ASM and Miggy back and Fulham haven’t managed to overtake us during their absence. Bad signs for them. However, next week if we lose and they win then it’s panic time again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianovthetoon Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 We are too inconsistent. Exceeding expectations in a couple of games but having a shocker in the winnable games. If think it goes down to the last game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonArmy1892 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 If we didn't have Fulham to play i'd be more confident, needing to be more than 3 points clear of them is adding pressure on us, cos we all know what's happening if it does go to the final game. We need to get to Sheff U at home knowing a win keeps us up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I've watched every game this season and I still think our wins and draws are more down to the other team playing terrible, Spurs were crap yesterday and Villa the other week didn't even turn up.

Both beat Fulham recently though. We know we're crap (or the manager certainly is), but Fulham are no great shakes either. Still think if we can keep Wilson and St Max fit for the rest of the season, we will be ok. I was fully expecting to be in the relegation zone by now seeing they have been missing for weeks.
