Will we qualify for the CL?

[edgysatsuma89]

I think we have to win all 4 games, and although possible, I'd say it's improbable. I'd give us less than a 30% chance of qualifying from here. I'm hoping Man City get knocked out of the FA Cup after that performance.

TNT on Thursday nights.

The Blose are watching cos they're fookin'shite
What a feeling, what a night

Wondering how Rogers was feeling, given his background with City, whether that or off pitch shenanigans may have contributed to his unsettled demeanour tonight. Pure speculation, he usually plays with a smile on his face!
Whatever it was, I hope he’s over it, we need him to clinch CL wins in the next 4 matches and the FACup!

[Percy McCarthy]

He does make up to 5 subs a game so it's not as if he never makes any. Tonight he made the wrong ones.

I think he left Malen off for so long because he felt he wouldn't track back enough. However McGinn for Rogers instead of Ramsey was the initial call.

Agreed.

Do you want to bet against us?

We had just suffered a home defeat against our title rivals when Ron Saunders said those words. We need to show belief and get behind the team. It ain’t over yet and there will be a few more twists and turns to come.

I think the problem we have is Citeh, with their fixtures, are very likely gone. Newcastle have three very winnable homes games - which if they do, another point takes them to our maximum tally, and their GD is far superior.

That means Forest and Chelsea are likely the two we have to leapfrog- Chelsea, possible but Forest’s fixtures are pretty benign and they need 9 points basically even if we win all our games.

Not impossible obviously, but I’d say it’s got pretty unlikely.

Forest are now our only hope. A draw kept us in it, but however kind I am to Villa, I have use 6th by a point. Sat is huge now, need to win to secure Europa, which gives us another route to CL next season and a chance to gain points towards 5th CL spot the season after. Winning the Europa would be brilliant fun too.

Feeling very flat this morning.  I was confident with a point, but we're now firmly in the "need other teams to seriously falter" territory.  We just have to win our remaining games and try to take it to the final day.  City are gone (and have the best run in).  I suspect Newcastle will bounce back after our win.  Unfortunately, Chelsea and Forest play each other (on the last day), because we need to overtake both, and they can't both lose that match.

[OzVilla]

Not securing that point has stuffed us due to our goal difference.  Forest now have a 2 game buffer with (for them 5 to play).  I cant see them collapsing which is what we'd need them to do now.  Newcastle's fixtures are kind too, but I think we'll still finish above Chelsea.  We desperately needed that point.

I've a horrible feeling this'll be a season of if only's.

[PaulTheVillan]

We need to win every game now. In both competitions to make this season better than last

[PaulWinch again]

One area for obvious improvement for next season is the number of goals we concede post 90 minutes. Across the season it has happened too often to be a coincidence.

[Meanwood Villa]

I think if we win all four we'll do it. However, biggest thing now is winning Saturday, for the cup final obviously but also because it makes 7th place Europa.

8.

[OzVilla]

Wonder how many points that’s cost us?

Absolutely this. Man up everybody, we go again on Saturday
