Could have been tomorrow if Palace and Bournemouth both lose. Wont be mathematically but should be EL if Palace lose tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagPar Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 We have a very difficult final 4 games. Gonna have to pull out some fantastic performances. Man City have a much easier run in. Chelsea have a fairly difficult run in too. Forest have a favourable run in. Villa have an equally favourable run in. Chelsea and ourselves have far and away the hardest run ins. I'm a pessimist by nature (I've had an awful life) so I fancy Europa League at best. Which I'd be happy with. I'd be fine with Conference League football too as that could be a great chance at winning a European trophy, just look at the teams Chelsea have had to contend with. Champions League is too soon considering how thin our squad is. We can save that for next season or the one after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Chelsea have the hardest run in, but we are five points ahead of villa. If we beat Brighton away next week I think we will qualify for the champs league! Chelsea and Everton hme games are must wins. Both looked pretty crap earlier today fwiw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champions League is too soon considering how thin our squad is. We can save that for next season or the one after. I agree with the sentiment, we'd be favourites for the ECL, hell, I'd make us favourites for the EL if Spurs, Man Utd & Bodo made the semis and Rangers made the 1/4s it really goes to show the dearth of quality in that tournament. One of the lesser competitions would be a great chance of going on a deep run and winning something. But if we are going the be the club we all want us to be, we need to be a perennial CL team whether we're ready or not. It'll be harder to tempt purples and retain purples by flying to Armenia on Thursdays to play FK Sovietgrad Mentalists. Besides, the new format means no more groups of death, we'll be highly likely to progress to the knockouts then we may fall on our feet and get a Celtic, Brugge, Shaktar level team and go on a bit of a run.

alexf Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Won't feel confident until we beat Chelsea, that game will be massive. If we can get something away at Brighton then it will definitely ease the tension. Can see Villa and Chelsea winning most of their remaining games so nothing has changed really, today was must win and we won it. Now have more difficult games that we need to turn up for. Defensively I feel we look abit ropey still when teams go at us, but we're making teams worry so much defensively when were at home that it's not being exposed. Isak needs to get some form back for these last 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Interesting to see how Forest mentally handle doing a bit of chasing next match. Brentford is an awkward as fuck game for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentford is an awkward as fuck game for them. That's the best word to describe them. Awkward. Defensively sound, a big physical unit, well drilled from set pieces and fast tricky forwards.

Wolfcastle Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Quite a few potential problems next week for all of us (City aside). Could go either way for us. Would take parity and the horizon inched closer to after next weekened now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CL is vital for holding onto and attracting certain players this summer never mind the world of PSR. Our squad is thin but the new format of the champions league makes it more manageable with recruitment. Also give your head a wobble and have a bit of positivity ffs 😂 We’re 3rd and have every chance of qualifying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
