The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

[Brassneck]

Would you not find it annoying if someone who can't read hijacks your posts?

I stated that finishing 4th meant that we wouldn't play Fulham. I did not say I was scared or wanted to avoid Fulham, I simply stated that finishing 4th meant we would not play Fulham in the semi-final.

You replied:

"So now we are scared of fuckin Fulham, what a load of bolox,"

Even my 6 year old grandson would understand that stating that I didn't say I was scared of Fulham, nor was what I did say a load of "bolox".

Fulham have the sort of team that would cause us issues, we all saw that at the Cottage after all. Side with pace (Sessegnon) who can keep the ball and move it around our midfield players.

I'd prefer to avoid that over two legs tbh.

With Boro you know what you'd get, long throws and many crosses. I know which game Jedinak would be more comfortable in.

Obviously a play off final you just have to get on with it. Just hope we'd turn up at Wembley for once and actually have some shots on target!

Isn't it 4 shots on target from our last three cup final appearences there? We didn't even get a corner v Arsenal.

We're shit on corners so that's no worry.

Last word is yours, I must of misread the "avoid Fulham" silly me. I have learned a lot I hope we can get automatic cuz we aint got a chance in the play offs.

I am pretty sure you two can keep this going a little longer, I am enjoying it.
Do you think we would be better facing them over one game or two legs?

We're going to be screwed in the top flight if we can't even compete with Fulham in Division Two.

We can't even compete with QPR in division 2, let alone Fulham. I'd hazard a guess though that funds may be made available to strengthen the team if we go up.

With some of the players Fulham have they're probably on a level better than bottom six of the prem, same for Wolves.

If that is the top 2 come May I think both would stay up.

Newcastle, Huddersfield and Brighton all look like staying up and when I see the 11s they put out it's mostly what they were putting out in the championship last season.

In this obssession with spending 100m every summer we sometimes forget teams can pick up many points with good team spirit and every player going on the pitch and knowing his job.

We lost those things in our last few years in the premier league.

I agree and of course I realize that we would still have a final to play if we avoided Fulham in the semis !!! Blimey...

[purpletrousers]

Have tried not to think about the play off route and truly hope we don't need it, but I like the date of 26th May at least. You could also join me to see the Rolling Stones the night before, a stones throw from my home, 25th in the Olympic Stafium.

Presumably semis must be approx 13th & 16th?

I don't get this "avoid Fulham" clamour. This week we played the best team in the division and one of the worst and look at the scores. It's all about how we play on the day.

[olaftab]

This is all very stressful. I'm quite tempted to go into a coma until the evening of 26th May and wake up to find out what league we are in next year.

How does that help the rest of us? You are completely selfish.

It'd mean you don't have to put up with me for over two months.

We're shit on corners so that's no worry.

We didn't score from 14 on Tuesday but scored from the first against Wolves. Professor Hawking would have had a solution for that.

I don't get this "avoid Fulham" clamour. This week we played the best team in history of world football who will be playing Champions League football in a 60,000 seater stadium within 2 years and one of the worst and look at the scores. It's all about how we play on the day.
