It's never that easy though, is it. I see a scenario where we need Swansea to take points off Watford last game. Only problem is Swansea are out of the running for the autos and are focusing on the play offs. They field a B team 11 against Watford and get beat easily condemning us to the POs...

Not so popular now is my guess

That is exactly my point, we cannot rely on Swansea taking points off of Watford in the last game, especially as you say Swansea would probably have dropped points by then making the POs the focus of their ambition.

Agree, but the problem I have with Swansea is that they play Watford last game of the season. By this time they will probably be out of the running for an automatic place and will field a weakened team, to prepare for the POs. That is a real possibility I am afraid.

It's actually 10 points better to be precise.

Understand completely however, it is very interesting to hear those views from other supporters on the outside looking in. Just confirms to me how so many fans and people in the game still don't understand how we do it. If we got promotion it would certainly bring it to a head, because we are...

Exactly, easy to say nice things about clubs that you beat most often than not. As soon as the tables are turned jealousy creaps in, especially as we are still considered a small club by many. It forces other supporters to wonder why their bigger club are not setting the world alight with their...

Agree, they will also think Blackburn should have had a penalty as well, but hey ho fine margins 3 points, 11 to go. 3 points is all that matters.

Means nothing, let's give them something to worry about tonight.

I am afraid you can go on about favourites in games all you want, bit like we were favourites to beat Barnsley or Coventry etc etc, it means nothing, all on paper, its what you do in the 90 minutes that count. Would not waste my energy looking at other teams, all we need to do is win our games...

There are a lot of things that go on in football that don't happen anywhere else, you should know this by now.

That is the problem with this table it's based on the past. This season has proved to be difficult to predict because of the number of games played over a short time frame where tiredness and injuries are playing a significant part. It's a nice table to look at especially for us but I must say I...

What is interesting here is that they are already thinking about our game on Wednesday, almost as though the Wycombe game today does not exist. If they are complacent Wycombe can punish them as we found out for 45 minutes when we played them. Norwich should win but its not a forgone conclusion imo.

Exactly, all part of the game, some you win some you lose.

You don't see this very often, so clearly the threat of doing this has eradicated this behaviour. Football could implement very easily, why is this not done. More incompetence from the FA, or just something they choose to ignore?

Very well articulated by Toney, and I fully agree. There is no point to taking the knee for ever and a day if it's not followed up with tangible actions. Agree with what has been said on here, the longer people are able to remain anonymous it will continue, because there is a section of society...

A lot of this discussion surely centres around if the FA want to improve the entertainment value as well. Less stoppages etc etc, and support the teams that try and play football, rather than the teams trying to stop their opponents at any cost. Only the captain of each team should be able to...

Agree, we need to play the game as a lot of other teams do, it's called gamanship. Not requesting we change the football style or become dirty, but we have to man up and do the necessary if the situation demands. All that needs to happen is for referees to respond quicker with yellow cards for...

Please remind me, where is Alex Pritchard now?

Shall we also discuss then what players we need to get into the top 4 for champions league. This thread is talking about something that may not happen, what is the point?
