Just checking where Albion are on the Pulis is God/Pulis is Satan swingometer at the moment. They haven't won for ages.

Currently has 4 more points than Lambert did in his debut season here.

I'm pleased that we still have Fulham away......but they will be a very dangerous side again next year, whereas Reading are punching above their weight imo.

I think Newcastle will stay up because Ashley will chuck a load of cash at it. Brighton and whoever goes up in the playoffs will come straight back down.

Brighton certainly didn't look any great shakes in the two games against us.

I think I posted in our first game this season against Brighton, that we bossed them and should look forward to hitting the playoffs this year.  Im such a dick sometimes

Looks like the pressure got to Fulham, free scoring and playing great in the run up to play offs then can't do anything once they start.

We really need to be properly targeting  top 2 next season, too much of a lottery otherwise.

I'd expect Wednesday to beat Uddersfield and Reading in the final, even my Reading supporting neighbours don't think they'll make it and this season has been a fluke.

I do think if Reading go up they could really struggle next year, even worse than us type struggle.

That's a bit misleading though, as the Premier League has been the most lopsided it's been for ages this year, in terms of the game between the top 7 and the rest.  It's disappointing, as it looked like last year that that might be a thing of the past with the likes of Leicester, Southampton and West ham all pushing on.

Fulham were found wanting last night, I thought.  The 16 year old who came on for them who has earned all sorts of rave reviews was an absolute bag of nerves, and individual decision making at times was pretty poor, as was the quality of their final ball when they chose to deliver one.  And Reading really are a very average team.

Not really as in 2012/13 there was a 12 point gap between 7th place Liverpool and 8th place Bitters. 9th place had 46 points.

in 2012-13 we nearly went to the wire in our efforts to stay up, whereas this season Albion stopped playing about 6 games ago.
