The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

[ChicagoLion]

Green is quick. Twice in two days I've read the bizarre statement that he has no pace.

He is quick, but not Vassell Gaby Daley quick.

He's not blindingly quick over 30-40 yards but he has a good burst of pace to get away from defenders, which is probably at least as valuable for a winger, it's not often you see him beat a man and then get caught by them before he can cross/pass/shoot.

I think 80 points should be enough to secure at least 4th and avoid Fulham or Cardiff in the playoff semi-finals.

On current form I would have Boro 5th and Millwall 6th which would see us against Boro with second leg at Villa Park.

We do need to get firing again though. When I get the time I was going to check out the form of the playoff winners in the last few seasons, see if form really does matter.

Bit gutting to be reminded that Cardiff have Burton to ease them back into the home straight.

He is quick, but not Vassell Gaby Daley quick.

I wish he worked in the Holte Suite bar

The return of Kodjia will hopefully ensure we make the play off final at least

Who's have thought we'd be 10 points of second after beating wolves

[Meanwood Villa]

Cardiff 8 wins in a row. Fulham 17 unbeaten. Looks like second place is going to be a big total this season.

[Toronto Villa]

In fairness those stats for Cardiff and Fulham are simply incredible for teams that are not even top of the table and running away with it. Just shows how tough this season has been that our form which overall in the past 3 months has been really good and outstanding before the last two games still leaves us 10 points back of second.

No one

Fulham W14 D3 L0, Cardiff W10 D2 L0. Barring a miracle it's the play-offs now.

[SoccerHQ]

Fulham will finish above us now I think.

Still third or fourth isn't a huge difference in the play off context.

[PaulWinch again]

We need to get some form together for the play offs.

It's all down to sticking with Bruce at the end of last season I am afraid. Poor start  and far too many hiccups all the way through the season.

[PeterWithesShin]

We've had 3 dodgy spells, start of the season, December and the last 7 games. That's covered half our season so far with a record of W4 D8 L7 in those 19 games, closer to bottom 6 form. Our form in the other 19 is W16 D1 L2.
