skipper FiNeRaIn I'll be honest, im gearing myself up for double disappointment. You just KNOW this'll be the birmingham season all over again. We'll get fvcked out of second place by the horrible mercenaries west ham and their 9 strikers and then lose to someone shite in the play-offs because we are gutted on missing out on second. In a way I hope we lose the next 5/6 and then make a late surge back into the play-offs with momentum.
Saints are out of reach, they keep getting lucky breaks and are a one man unit, unless lambert gets injured they will win it.
Yes finerain you are a negative twat, bla bla bla but i KNOW some of you feel exactly the same and you can see it coming too.
I hope someone bumps this to prove me wrong if it happens...but im dreading it tbh.
With our run in, it's unlikely we will lose a few, and then come back with a magnificent run. As stated in another thread, our actual run is like 30 games... It's genuine consistency.
When you wrote that OP, you probably believed Saints were out of reach - but with us to play them, and only being 2 points behind - how do you feel now?
We are in a magnificent position, as our run in is against the teams around us - so, where we pick up points they will be losing them - our final league position is in our hands for a change, and not relying on other results. Fantastic! This is so bloody exciting, I can't contain myself!
What is interesting about the games left is how easily it could all go brilliantly or become a total disaster.
Please don't think I am suggesting the following but had these games been spread out across the season, we would not
be remotely concerned about losing at West Ham (currently 3rd) Southampton (top) Birmingham (4th)
and Brighton (one point outside the play-offs with a home record of 10-5-3 30-16
Even WITH our great recent form, we COULD lose all four of these by the odd goal each time...
We also have a resurgent Leeds to play, and Blackpool who are still in the POs... and Forest who are fighting for survival.
Basically, we have an EXTREMELY TOUGH RUN-IN and will have to be at our very best to get anywhere NEAR 2 ppg
