The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

Assume he means Onomah.

I thought he had a decent game, although agree that I don’t think he’s a Premier League quality player.

I may be being unfair to him but he just seems to have an air about him that he does not really want to be here.

I thought he played well on Friday, closing down and winning tackles, probably helps when he's played in his natural position and not at no.10.

Oooooooh fair enough.

Felt he played alright to be honest. Better than he had, although he was central rather than our wide or in behind he front man.

He looks like the young player he is, when he’s on it very effective but seems to drift out of games with a slightly nonchalant air. He’ll learn.

I think (would hope) that the realisation that he can't get into a championship side has brought him back down to earth a bit.


I saw some qualities in his game on Friday night that gave me hope for his future. Up until that point, I couldn't see him ever being a PL player. Time is still on his side and if he can improve his awareness and distribution, he has every chance of playing regularly in the PL.

I think Fulham are a better side than Cardiff.  They will be tough opponents if we meet in a play off final. That said, if Brentford weren't so all fart and no shit yesterday, the way they played, closing down really quickly, Fulham were vulnerable.  In a one off game at Wembley, they are beatable.

I went to Fulham away. They were much better than us.

But I did get the impression that a youthful pressing side could have caused them problems

More Onomah than hourihane for me, in a game like that.

Onomah certainly did enough on Friday to keep his place. It will be one of many difficult selection headaches Bruce has over the next few weeks in the lead up to the play offs. I'm guessing the U23s will feature heavily at Millwall but the Ipswich and Derby games will be interesting to see who he picks.

I thought he had a good game on Friday and certainly added a bit more energy into midfield.  I also thought Whelan did well and the pair of them looked far more comfortable in roles that suit them.  I quite liked the balance of the midfield on Friday and would go with that again, with Hourihane coming on in the latter stages.

to clarify of course I was referring to Onomah not Kodjia.

[UK Redsox]

Onomah played better than he had but he was still just average in a second division match. I don't see him as good enough for a promotion chasing team, let alone in the Premier League.

[eamonn]

He has technical smarts, you can see that with how he's good at keeping the ball when in tight areas.

[Steve67]

Hopefully, we get to the at off final. He'll get to at at home! It's about as close as he's going to get to the Spurs team unless he shows some bovveredness.

Last call on the automatic spots.
Win all 3 remaining games and we finish with 88 points.
Say Fulham lose at Millwall on Friday, best they can do is 88 points, although they have 4 better goal difference atm.
Cardiff only need 6 points from 4 games to beat both, and they have 2 better goal difference atm.
It's Cardiffs game to lose.

I fancy Forest to beat them. Problem is they play Derby.

Yep been like a morgue in the office up here in derby this week, they’re all convinced it’s yet another bottle job.

[eamonn]

They've been cack for seemingly months and yet are still in with a shout. Let's destroy them at VP next week. Please?
