The Promotion Chasing Thread

I always thought it was 6

Ah, hell.

 

[Bobbin']

A little clarification is needed I see. I meant over the last 10 games from which Watford have 25 points, Norwich 23 (equal with Nottingham Forest but better goal difference) and Charlton 18.

There does seem to be an unwritten rule about how many games constitutes form though. This is not the first time that I picked 10 as a range of games but that someone else picks 8 games. Should it be 8 games?

I just took it from soccerstats.

Draws all round today please.

 

[Rammy]

Draws all round today please.

Doesn't matter. We're completely out of it now.

We've got to make sure we stay in these playoff places now. Lose against Watford, and we'll be slipping out of the top six.

 

[Luke_1884]

It matters until its mathematically impossible James.

Bournemouth winning stops at least one team going 8 clear of us at least....

1-0 down on Millwall at HT. Beaten yet again by a simple long ball, despite dominating the rest of the half. Don't understand how our defence can make so many simple errors. Must give the opposition about a goal a game.

Rant over. Very frustrating first half.

 

[Rammy]

I haven't watched it, so I don't know if they were blatent or not.....but Bournemouth get a hell of a lot of penalties!

Welcome to our world.

They've had 100% more penalties in that game than we have had all season

 

[MagpieBee]

2-0 Millwall, another error. Absolutely pathetic. Wolves will overtake us now. Not confident at all of hanging on to 6th.

 

[markwwfc1992]

We moved into 6th without playing today, although we'll drop out if Ipswich get something at Watford.

Or you already have, since Brentford have pulled one back.

 

[Rammy]

2-2

 

[markwwfc1992]

Shit, back to 7th

 

[mpmbee]

What a time to put in one of your worst home performances of the season. Shit result despite the comeback.

 

[Rammy]

So frustrating. Despite the dire run, had we won yesterday results have gone quite well which would have brought us back in it.

All Stroud's fault!

 

[TractorBoys]

So nice to hear us put in a performance for the full 90 minutes and nick the 3 points today. Never looked like conceding today.

[M Dogg]

Ah well.

Come on Wolves

And whoever derby play

See you all in September

Doggy x

 

[Rammy]

Watford didn't even manage a shot on target!

Just so you know who to support each week...

Watford
Wigan
Brentford
Blackpool
Huddersfield
Millwall
Reading

What a day! For the first time this season I genuinely believe we can do this

 

[MagpieBee]

Victory would have put us only 4 points off the Autos. Makes our performance today so much more disappointing.

3 games in a row we've conceded 2 goals. Not good enough.

Bournemouth looking good - and a good fixture list to go. Would be my favourites at this point.

 

[Mr Elmo]

So we still have a small chance, beat Watford in two weeks and things look a lot closer for us. We can't blow it any more though, need to win all of our last 7.

Hopefully with the return of Martin and Thorne we start to win again

If refs keep on giving you soft penalties like that, then yes you will

You aren't going up automatically anymore so than we are.

Just hope we do keep finding form to secure 6th.

This is the Championship. Literally anything can happen.

 

[Rammy]

This is the Championship. Literally anything can happen.

We only have that tiny bit of hope because we play Watford next. Fail to win that, and we are well and truly out of it.

Win it, and well we probably need to get near enough maximum points out of Wigan, Brentford, Blackpool, Huddersfield, Millwall, and Reading.

Personally I think Bournemouth and Norwich are going up automatically. Those two have the most straight forward run-ins.

 

[SUTSS]

Our run in looks straight forward but we play shit against shit teams and Tettey's knee is due to explode soon.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Excellent week for us: two wins, two clean sheets and two rare goals from midfield. Hopefully the confidence from a few months ago is back to carry us to the end of the season.

 

[PDS]

If we're bribing the refs can we do it at 0-0 rather than cruising at 2-0 up please?
