ToonArmy1892 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Fulham's last two games must have done them in mentally, 4 points in their grasp and got none, plus that from us today. It's not over but it's looking much much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 One draw and beat Sheffield and we have 36, which means Fulham need 10. Can’t see them doing that. I still think we need a win somewhere though, not sure we have the fixtures to get 4 points from draws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully today’s result has destroyed all the hope Fulham had and don’t pull off a shock in those hard away games that they have left I honestly think there’s points available in both the West Ham and Arsenal games also.

Ketsbaia Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 This weekend has been huge. Suddenly we're nearly there, 3pts should do it. Not only have we gave Burnley a reason to try vs Fulham, a Fulham win would drag them deep into trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah all depends on Wilson and St Max playing and I would have Willock in for Shelvey (though I know he won’t ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Probably about a 4 on the ‘ometer now, more likely to stay up than go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Need at least one more win. Hopefully we're in a scenario where we need to beat Sheffield United to confirm survival and relegate Fulham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 2 minutes ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: It’ll be massively worrying if we aren’t safe by then mind Just can only see a maximum of 2 points from the next few games. Contrive to beat one of West Ham or Arsenal and I think that's us done. But I think Fulham have 1 more win in them for no real reason and I can't see us picking up 3 points until that Sheffield United game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 A lot more confident now than I was. Not counting my Chickens just yet as next week Fulham could pull of an unexpected result and we could lose, and I’d go back to to a 9/10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Man City quite likely will have won the league by the time we play them too. If we can get a point at least next weekend against West Ham the Fulham players heads might finally drop against Arsenal the day after. Can't rely on Arsenal for anything though.

Ketsbaia Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 FULHAM (26) Arsenal (a) - 1pt Chelsea (a) - 0pts Burnley (H) - 3pts Southampton (a) - 1pt Man Utd (a) - 0pts Newcastle (H) - 3pts Let's say Fulham get those results (which looks a bit kind tbh), it only puts them on 34pts. We're now on 32. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I'm still a 5 or 6. If fulham manage to get 3 points more than us between now and that final game of the season, it'll make it a straight shootout for who goes down and I honestly believe it'll be us. Bruce will fuck it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 17th place, i.e the Mike Ashley Cup, within reach now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Today's win also puts us back level with Brighton (who are at home to Everton tomorrow) and a point behind Burnley. The dizzy heights of 15th are still within reach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 4. Current odds 1/4 us, 7/2 Fulham, so obviously a hell of a lot better than a couple of matches ago when we were odds on. 3 defeats in a row for Fulham, and all of them fairly 'winnable' on paper (4 including the expected defeat to Man City), and some of them lost from decent positions. Still not fully confident, just because we have to play them on the final day, but beat Sheff U, and nick a couple of points from the tough 5 games coming up, then hopefully we will be 4 points clear going into that potential huge match. They will almost certainly have to beat us on the last game of the season now, although as someone said earlier, that may not be a bad thing from their perspective, i.e. nothing to defend. Fixture placing could be crucial. Ours isn't great, bar maybe Man City, who will be able to put out any team to get the job done, but Fulham play Arsenal next weekend, just 3 days after they get back from Prague in the Europa, and Man Utd may well have 2nd place confirmed (can't finish 1st, can't finish 3rd) by the time they play Fulham on the 2nd last day, and I'd far rather play a weaker Man Utd, than a weaker Man City. Still a few possible twists and turns to come, but looking so much better than it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Yeah, 4 is about right, more likely to stay up than relegate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Fulham struggle to score and though they play some good stuff (so did Norwich) I just can’t see them winning games. With Wilson and St Max back, just think we have better players in forward positions than what Fulham have, to be able to get the necessary points. Wouldn’t actually surprise me if we already have enough points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 This weekend has been pivotal, major collapse to go down now , Sheffield game should see us safe , anything inbetween would be a big big bonus. Without our big players we are honking mind . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 With Wilson back and ASM looking lively I think we’ll be alright but god only knows what’ll happen next season if we stay up, more of the same shite I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
