Promotion Thread 2017/18

Be nice to see JJH as his usual whinging c*** self

 

[TomPNE94]

Absolute useless bottling c***

 

[Ciderup]

Season over for us. Good luck to all those battling for promotion.
0 shots on target in 2 games now.

 

[Jockney]

Five more cup finals to go. Win all five and we're in the play-offs, but I think ten points ought to do it. PNE now out of it? Sheffield United next weekend looks huge, especially if we fail to beat Bolton on Tuesday.

No it's not, we've had two wins in nearly three "cycles of form" so if we don't generate some momentum soon it'll be a stale end to the season.

I said a few weeks ago I thought us and Sheffield United have had it, we shall see.

Nah, just realistic as I have been for months. Right re: both teams.

 

[SirTomFinney]

Yeah count us out. Don't know what's happened in these last 3 games. Completely bottled it.

Fair play Millwall. Hope you do it. And actually think if you do get in the play offs you will do it. Like a fucking steam train

 

[SirTomFinney]

Only 8 days ago I predicted we would finish in the play offs. 3 games later and 0 points and we are in my opinion out of it.

Can't believe how much we have fucked it up

 

[KevinMcallister]

you can join us in being a normal average club

 

[Jockney]

A six point gap with only five games to go certainly seems too much to make up. Fine margins now. A bad weekend will effectively put a side out of the picture at this stage. It's too much to bear as a football supporter.

 

[LeylandWhite]

Yep we're out of it.

Hopefully Millwall can keep there run going, you'd have to fancy them going into the playoffs if they can.

Nothing to do with bottling it, we're just not good enough.

It won't happen but we need to spend some of the Hugill money and add 2 or 3 quality players in the summer at a minimum. Do that and then hopefully we can push on next season and mount a serious challenge.

 

[Mark H]

Fuck off villa you bottleless twats. Everytime we have a chance to put pressure on the teams above we flake it.

Now you can concentrate on the Away Attendance thread, you should win that.

 

[villa loyal]

Nah, Leeds will have that.

 

[KevinMcallister]

and the home one by the looks of it sad times really would swap it all for a decent league campaign

Maybe..
You had a decent one last season, and then you were on fire at the start of this one. It's all gone to shit now.

Bolton were dreadful yesterday. You shouldn’t have any problems on Tuesday.

 

[KevinMcallister]

honestly can't see past Fulham for the play-offs

 

[Etienne Vermeer]

We tend to trip up against teams we ought to beat, like when Sunderland held us a couple of weeks back. Have never played well as favourites.

 

[villa loyal]

They might get second yet. 19 unbeaten so I read yesterday.

 

[blademan89]

Very good chance they will do now

 

[villa loyal]

Very good chance they will do now

Not sure who I'd rather not play. A full strength Cardiff team playing to their strength, or an excellent footballing team like Fulham.

 

[PrestonCha]

Drag our sorry asses out of this thread and give us a fucking good kicking for even daring to attempt a challenge.

Pricks. Absolutely seething with North End at the moment.

I never fancied you to make it tbf. Then again I said Millwall didn't have a chance about a month ago.

Rather play Cardiff all day long the way we play.

 

[Abertawe]

fulham automatic - boro in the play-offs although i want millwall in the pl for the laughs

 

[big mean bunny]

I can't see Cardiff dropping enough points not to get it. Fulhams run wont continue is my feeling.

Some bad over-reactions from PNE fans, this was always a transition season so the fact we've flirted with the play-offs is a good sign.

Sold our top scorer and Maguire looks like he needs a long, long rest. Struggling to score is no surprise to me.

Hopefully Fulham overtake Cardiff and one of Villa, Derby or Boro win the play-offs getting rid of three big money clubs.

You've done well. I'm really not sure what our financial capabilities will be next season.

The voice of reason.
You've had another great season where in most other people's eyes you have over achieved.
Out of all the teams that have been around the playoffs I would have preferred you to go up, but the reaction from some of your fellow fans wow, a few good seasons and its gone to their heads.
Ok last week or so very disappointing, but the season as a whole another good one of improvement for you, they need to get real instead of going all billy big time.

Derby can't be a big money club anymore, they're barely complying with FFP and had to sell of their two best players in the summer. Wouldn't mind getting rid of Boro as Villa are in the same boat as Derby.

We're quite nicely positioned financially but I don't think it'll be a big summer for us. We'll get about £30m for Flint, Bryan and Reid but Vyner will probably step in at centre half, Kelly will step in at left back and I'd like Taylor to do Reid's role next season as he's never really had a proper chance here, and he is a goalscorer. Nice situation we find ourselves in at the moment as we're starting to see why we invested so heavily in the academy.
