Promotion Thread 2017/18

[JJH]

It means you've seen enough to know that things can change quickly and it's far from over yet.

It'd take one hell of a shift and one that this squad isn't capable of. Our season was going swimmingly until the first 90th minute goal we conceded back in December, since then we've won 2 in 17.

Same underbelly as last season, now we're conceding goals late again, chucking away leads, and haven't won away since Sheffield United.

I can't see Boro not finishing top six with their squad, I'd be amazed if the top six didn't stay as it is now.

Less than 16,000 Welsh at their game tonight. If there was ever a fanbase that didn't deserve promotion it's that one.
Come on Villa.

And yet with our limited resources we still are out of reach.

 

[Benladdie3000]

Fuck knows how we hung onto that in the end, Barnsley were well worth a point in that game. Another win though and that's all that matters.

Who cares, we hung on. And we are another game closer. The gap will be atleast 5 pts Saturday

 

[Benladdie3000]

Considering we're the anti-christs of football and are complete thugs that go out to injure opponents while also doing nothing but hoof it I'd say 16k on a Tuesday is decent.

But it wasn't less than 16k though. And who cares anyway. We are going up

aye I and everyone else feel well sorry for you chucking about 6 million pounds on players like Gary Madine.

 

[blademan89]

Yeah, and we were both realistically overachieving. Any money with you that you don't finish top six, won't happen.


fucking embarrassing.

You was on about yourselves how the fuck you brought us into it. Never ever would I let someone like you know my name when it came to paying the bet, the exact reason I didn't take the money off you last time.

Try reading bog eye, I said last night that I think us and you have been finished for a while.

You're soft, why make the bet in the first place then? Got something to hide I reckon makes you think

So this thread happened...

That had to be started as a wind up yet some took it seriously. Un -bloody- believable!

you think you're so rebellious and like something out of Green Street being so anti journalists and going round calling people grasses.

Behave yourself you illiterate fucktard.

Play well and get a result against Fulham on Saturday and i'll start to think we might give this play-off charge a real go.

Tom mentioned it in the matchday thread but we're such a well-rounded team. We can play a pacey counter attack game or decent possession football, defend for our lives when required and compete with the best when it comes to gamesmanship and anti-football.

With the return of Maguire, it feels like we've got the man to kill off teams, which we've missed for 4 months.

I think Derby will drop out. They’ve still got to play us, Boro, Cardiff, Wolves and Villa and they’re in free fall.

 

[JonBCFC]

Read somewhere that burton haven’t won at home since August so I’ll be pretty pissed off if we don’t win Saturday.

Atleast our run in is decent, only really tricky games we have left is boro away, and Sheff Utd and Brentford at home.

 

[Doriva17]

We still have to play Wolves (H), Bristol City (H), Sheff Utd (A), Derby (A), Brentford (A). If we could get 7 points out of them I would fancy us in the other 5 games to get enough points.

 

[TTOCS]

But it wasn't less than 16k though. And who cares anyway. We are going up

Is this another Einstein moment?
I said 'less than 16,000 Welsh'
Given the attendance was 16,176, what are you going for to correct me?
a) That there was less than 176 Barnsley fans there?
b) There was more than 176 Barnsley fans there but some of them were Welsh?

Didn't you know we have a massive fan club in Merthyr?....

hahaha just done the predictor thing, didn't bother with the GD but if this happens I would probably jump off a bridge

 

[TomPNE94]

Our last 10:

Fulham (H) - Lose
Sunderland (A) - Win
Sheff Weds (A) - Win
Derby (H) - Draw
Reading (A) - Win
Leeds (H) - Win
QPR (A) - Draw
Norwich (H) - Draw
Sheff Utd (A) - Draw
Burton (H) - Win

That would put us on 76, no idea if that would be enough normally.

Very similar happened to us in 14/15

 

[JJH]

Our last 10:

Burton (A) - W.
Ipswich (H) - D.
Barnsley (A) - D.
Brentford (H) - D.
Millwall (A) - L.
Brum (H) - W.
Boro (A) - L.
Hull (H) - W.
Forest (A) - L.
Sheffield Utd (H) - W.

15 to leave us on 72, some way short. 76 will do it I think.

 

[TomPNE94]

Very similar happened to us in 14/15

Nothing will beat us in 2009/10 (I think) when we won our last 4 to beat Cardiff into the play offs by 1 goal scored The 6-0 thrashing of Cardiff at Deepdale made even better by the fact they missed a penalty which would have kept them in the play offs had they scored it.

Edit: it was 2010/11
