So want to believe but honestly think we will fall short by more than one or two points. Can't afford one slip up and have to play them horrible blue shit   And we haven't the best record in the world against them

Still don't think we'll finish top 6, but at least it's interesting and fun to think there's a smidgen of a chance.

Current table and Saturday's fixtures

It's not funny for me. My Mrs has already booked 2 weeks in LA during play-off final dates!

Nor me.....I've got a knee operation scheduled for two days after the Brighton game.

We've won 7 of the last 11 against the rags, they've won 1. It's just we don't crow about it like we've completed football.

In all likelihood we need two fairly in form teams to completely implode and to not even draw any of our remaining games. Big ask!

Can see Norwich maybe getting a point tonight at Hudds but they'll probably lose.

Saturdays games

Blues v Derby            Away Win
Burton v Villa.            Away Win
Fulham v Ipswich.     Home Win
Leeds v PNE.            Draw
Norwich v Reading.   Draw
Wendy v Newcastle.  Away Win

Easter weekend looks a biggy though why o why are we the only team that hadn't moved its Saturday game to Good Friday? Fulham will have an extra 24 hrs rest.

As I remember it 1-0 to 2-0 ( I think) and were playing okay, tehn got it back to 2-1 and were on top. Then shipped a 3rd and it was good night Vienna.

If we win every game between now and the end of the season it still only takes us to 75 points which I can't see being enough this year. 

[peter w]

No it won't. We'll end up I think on low-mid 60s . A spread of 64 - 67.

6th place was 74 points last season. I think it'll be closer to 78 points this season.

I fear you may be right, but whilst there's still hope I refuse not to get ridiculously excited about the possibility. #believe

They can't be that full of goals - I don't think they had a single shot on target against us and I can't remember them actually spending much time in our half!  Garbage.

Newcastle 1-3 Fulham
Fulham 3-1 Preston
Fulham 5-0 Reading
Wolves 4-4 Fulham
Fulham 5-0 Huddersfield (this was actually a week after the Villa away game).

Some of Fulham's results this season against the better teams in the league. I think Jokanovic just got his tactics wrong that day.

And they got spanked by Derby last night.  They're rubbish.

[PeterWithesShin]

They're the second highest scorers in the division, that suggests they are pretty full of goals.

[Meanwood Villa]

Fulham have shit the bed since they won at Newcastle. Wednesday's win last night was their first in five games. They both beat Rotherham, so what, everyone does. There are definite points-a-dropping there. It's such a shame we have effectively no margin for error. As soon as we don't win that's probably it.

[rob_bridge]

Win all games and it may just be enough. We have to win them all though and Reading and Brighton have been pretty good this season.

[alan_clarke]

6 cup finals!

We're good at them...
