...For instance if we ended up in the final against Fulham I think they'd rip us apart at Wembley.
I think we'll slaughter everybody we meet and it does wonders for my mental health and general outlook on life.
My mental health and outlook on life are just fine thanks.
Yes. Sorry. I didn't mean that to come out like that.

I said weeks ago I think Fulham will go on a run and be the biggest challenge for 2nd. They're full of pace and play some of the best football in the league.

What worries me if we ended up in the play offs is I wouldn't fancy us at all against Derby, Fulham or Cardiff. For instance if we ended up in the final against Fulham I think they'd rip us apart at Wembley.
They won't rip us apart. They didn't yesterday even with our two best players out.

We’ve still got a great chance of automatic. But if we have to settle for playoffs I hope Fulham get second. I’d be quite confident we can take the rest. I know we lost at derby and Cardiff but they were the two worst periods of our season form wise

I think we will finish 2nd.

Fulham will need 11 more wins and they won't get that.

As a fellow teacher I can only nod sagely and mutter that that does it for me, as well, on a Sunday night.

I don't fancy Fulham for second place. I think that is between us, Cardiff and Derby.

The next 5 games will go a long way to deciding where Fulham finish. Brizzle (A), Wolves (H), Derby (A), Sheff Utd (H) and Preston (A).

Bookies will give good odds they win all those. 50-1 at least.

Fulham won't finish second simply because of who they have on the final day. They will probably bottle that fixture....

We could play Fulham ten times again and not self destruct like we did yesterday afternoon in the second half.  Johnstone could take that free kick a hundred times and it would not get plonked into the net behind him.  Next time we play Fulham bet your mortgage on us.  That defeat really stung our players.

I thought they looked better than us for most of the game

Obviously mitigating circumstances with our injuries

I didn't. I thought second half they came out with more purpose as we looked more disorganised with Elmo having gone off and they capitalised.

They then retreated back into themselves until a gift. Then with Jedi out of the way they had a few more chances.

We invariably find a way not to win at Craven Cottage. I think it's one win there since we were in division 3.

Depends where we play them.. We always beat them at VP where they're reluctant to cross the halfway line for some reason.
