Promotion Thread 2017/18

[Bluebird_Dai]

What are the Cardiff fans thoughts on how you approach the Prem? Would many back Warnock being replaced or stepping down? Or would all want him to stay. Would be interesting to see what your approach is as his style everyone likes to bang on about, isnt too different to Burnley.

I'd let him have a go at it seen as how he's the one that has turned this bunch of nobodies into a squad that has challenged up the top all season. As for the long term the big belief around here is that Bellamy will be taking over once Warnock does decide to pack it in, with the latter moving upstairs. One of the reporters compared us to the Leicester side that won the Prem, big units at the back launching it forward for pacy attackers to get on the end of, and a never say die midfield chasing anything and everything.

When Cardiff win promotion will your fans wear their trousers up to their nipples and grow a dodgy 70's tash to commemorate the wonder that is Vincent Tan?

What do you mean when we go up? That's my current style!

Your easiest game of the season. We can’t win games anyway, but we have Ledley, Thorne, and Huddlestone all out, so we’re a bit screwed.

Come on now Rammy, you know there's no easy games, we're missing 2 of our 3 key midfielders so you've every chance.

How good is Patterson mate? We had the chance to sign him but didn't because of his injury, I know he's been playing in the middle for you but fuck me we could've done with him at right back since Pisano's been injured. Fabulous player.

The lad is incredible, took him a while to get used to playing in midfield but once he found his feet he's been sensational. Missed 3 months of the season and has nabbed himself 8 goals and 6 assists. He just typifies what Warnock wants from a player in his side. Warnock doesn't fancy him as a full back either even though we have needed someone there with Peltier and Richards being injured.

I like watching him he's brilliant, absolute steal what you got him for.

Still frustrates me that we never signed him. Was after him all summer in 2016, had about three bids turned down and wouldn't cough up the fee Hearts wanted. We signed Nathan Byrne instead and Patterson got a long term injury straight after the window. The rest as they say is history.

We’ve no chance. Same applies to making the playoffs.

 

[Rammy]

They've not even sold 3k. 2200 sold as of today, taff talking shit again.

All tickets are £10 on Sunday, so it’ll be embarrassing for them if they don’t sell out their allocation. Likewise if we don’t fill the stadium...despite the fact it’s on tv.

As long as they stuff you mate that will do

Weather permitting of course

 

[Rammy]

It would be amazing if it snows, and there’s enough to postpone the game. We had 10 senior players fit for training today.

 

[big mean bunny]

At worse 10 points clear of 2nd by the end of the day, thats if Villa win, and I don't think they will as other than John Terry (racist) there players experience is mainly of mediocrity and disappointment...

Joking aside 6 points from those last two games was what I said needed to happen so much more relaxed heading into the stupid break now.

 

[SirTomFinney]

The race for the play offs has certainly heated up. Huge pressure on Derby tomorrow.

Millwall are definitey in with a shout. I think Boro and PNE for 5th and 6th. Maguires return has given us that extra killer instinct that I think might fire us into the play offs.

Your run looks pretty favourable. I think Boro will make it, but if Derby slip out I expect you to take their place.

We’ll have a big say in who makes it either way. Our last four games are Sheffield United, Boro, Fulham and Villa. We also have Bristol City to come to the Den. If we beat Forest things will be very interesting.

 

[JonBCFC]

Looks like villas cup final has taken its toll.

 

[TTOCS]

Millwall have no chance looking at those fixtures.
3 games ago we were on course for 78 points if we repeated the results in our fixtures from the first half of the season. After another 2-1 defeat v Preston, another 0-0 v Burton and another win v Ipswich, that still rings true.
I'd be well happy with Barnsley W, Brentford D, Millwall D, Brum L, Boro W, Hull W, Forest W, Sheff Utd W as surely 78 would be enough?

 

[SirTomFinney]

Last 10 games Millwall have 11 more points than yourselves.

The first half of the season you were in automatic promotion form. Since Christmas you have hardly set the league alight.

I don't think either of you will make the play offs but if had to back 1 I would back Millwall

 

[TTOCS]

Millwall have done well to beat a load of lower half teams. Let's see how they do against the good teams but at this stage I find it unlikely they will finish above us.

 

[Rammy]

I just hope we slip out of the playoffs sooner rather than later. None of that hanging on for ages rubbish again, and then losing 3-0 at home to Reading on the final day. Or in this case, Barnsley.

Seems we only have 8 fit players now. I expect like the Forest game, many will play with niggles because they have to.

Neither of us will.

 

[SirTomFinney]

Neither of us will.

We might not do and it was only a few weeks ago the defeat at home to Ipswich when I ruled us out.

But the return of Seani Maguire has changed my mind. I think we can do it.

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

I think the current top six will stay how it is but if anyone breaks into the top six, it looks like being Millwall. We can't win away, Preston struggle at home against lesser sides, and Sheff Utd win one week, then lose the next. Millwall have hit form at the right time.

I agree with you, perhaps it is the most fit team of the championship
however it will be difficult to continue like this until the end

Since December Millwall have beaten Sheff Utd, Middlesbrough, Leeds and Brentford and have drawn with Villa, Wolves, Preston, Derby and Cardiff.

They’re doing just fine against the better teams.

They drew with us away from home earlier in the season too

 

[Etienne Vermeer]

We’re not going to make it, but it’s a hell of a ride so I’m just going to enjoy it while it lasts.

 

[big mean bunny]

Greg Halford tweeted out a photo of the carpark and a sarcastic message about the game being cancelled, and then got his car stuck and needed pushing off some ice on a nearby road about 40 mins later! brilliant. Utterly hate that lad.

I had Millwall having loads of draws which is probably harsh.
