It's usually last 6 games for everyone, unless it's been drafted up by Steve Bruce because he can spin anything. Still 11 points from 6 games tbf.

The Prophet Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 There were three games in a row (Villa, Wolves, Arsenal) where Fulham shipped late goals. I wouldn't say that's bad luck, its a trend. I just don't think they had the confidence to see out those games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 We definitely were in trouble, mind. But our first 11 belongs in upper mid-table and it has shown in recent weeks. Phew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 We’ve been getting results but it’s similar to last season, individual players performing well/opposition gifting us goals rather than tactics or proper management. Willock has been sensational and ASM/Miggy/Wilson will always cause problems. If we had a fully fit team all season, we’d comfortably be midtable despite Bruce. The problem is, this team with a proper manager could be challenging for Europe. Funny really. We’ve been told all season how shit the team is, when in reality it definitely isn’t.

Anyone suggesting otherwise is just as guilty of spinning the situation. Still wouldn't be a surprise to lose the remaining games though, would it?

Decky Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I'm amazed that there are still people in this thread who think there's any chance at all that we'll go down this season. It was over before yesterday never mind after another win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 8 hours ago, Nobody said: Fulham has had some rotten luck though with those last second goals from Arsenal and Wolves. Really don't buy your narrative that we haven't been close. We had two wins in 20 games there for a while man, we were on a run that equalled Sheffield Uniteds shitness. I haven't said we weren't close. I'm saying that it was simply never gonna happen, despite how terrible we've been and how close we got. Even a record-breakingly bad run of results (which we curtailed when ASM returned) wouldn't have put us in the relegation zone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in the relegation zone for a brief time during the Villa - Fulham game. We were in deep, deep shit and only a few very late goals against Fulham and for us is what has seen us safe. Fwiw, I'd have Parker over Bruce any day of the week as a manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could've been relegated, do you mean? If so, I guess that's where we'll just have to agree to disagree. I think the fact we're 12 points clear as we speak pretty well proves that it was never on the cards, despite the flirtation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 That’s the weird thing about football, we tend to reassess our predictions too often based on form. I thought we were going to go down at one point. But at the end of the day, if you get a point a game (which is really shit) you stay up. When Bruce trots out his appalling ‘accumulation of points’ line, that’s what he means. He knows how low his objective is, and he knows that it doesn’t really matter if you lose a hell of a lot of games. Sad but true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From looking at who has to play who, it could all go down to the last day, looking at it, Burnley have the harder run in.
