Guessing because where Brentford are in the league compared to Brighton. I can kind of see the logic… Just ??♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Think he's right tbh I'd rather take the 3 point swing on Brentford and put them right amongst it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 There is no scenario where getting 3 points is better than getting 4 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 If we managed to get 4 points out of the next two games, going 8 games unbeaten in the process, I really don't think we should be giving a shit about who gets caught up down there anymore.

Obviously taking 3 points is never better than taking 4 points but I think what they are saying is taking 3 points away from Brentford is better for us than taking 3 points away from Brighton. Either way, 6 points from the next 2 is what Howe will be targeting and seeing how Brighton did against Burley its entirely possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 It would be great to get to 26 points (even better with 28 points) before the March run of two games a week. If we have a few negative results now, we could find ourselves under a lot more pressure going into that run of fixtures Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 If we do take 6 points from the next 2 games (unlikely but not impossible), there is a good chance we will find ourselves as high as 13th, depending on other results. Which I think would be us pretty much safe given how in the shit the likes of Brentford, Leeds and even Everton would be at that point, not to mention the current bottom 3.

But if we draw at Brentford and beat Brighton, that still keeps Brentford in the relegation mix. It literally makes no sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It literally makes no sense. It does make sense in a roundabout way. If we deny Brentford any points rather than 1 point it drags them into the fight even more. This isn't my argument though, I'd much rather have 4 points than 3 regardless of who they are taken from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Hope Eriksson starts, there is no way he can cope with the physicality of our midfield after 8 months out. As much as its a lovely story, there is zero chance he returns as good as he was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Still no news on Toney for them, hasn’t made the squad the last 3 weeks I think. Rather he be missing than Erisken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
