The Race for 4th

[Zomb]

Newcastle are competent and are our only hope.

Everton might find form. I still think Goons are flakey and if Everton and Newcastle don’t concede early, they will wobble

 

[Zomb]

Not going to even think about them at Newcastle until we've got the 6 pts prior to that. Might well be meaningless.

Spot on

 

[Zomb]

My bet is we draw Thursday but still finish 4th

 

[ElTel]

Newcastle are competent and are our only hope.

They are average and now have nothing to play for.

Sky the pricks saying Woolwich only need one more win to get champions league. Utter bollix and lazy journalism

 

[ElTel]

Arse will be looking at 3rd rather than worrying about 5th, they are one point behind bang out of form Chelscum

 

[Juno]

Bottom line is we have to beat them on Thursday night. If we do, I'd be pretty confident they'll drop more points over last two games and we'll get 4th.

I had zero expectation of a favour today. Leeds are d0gshIt and will be relegated.

 

[Samisspurs]

Whys everyone melting?

Newcastle will get at least a point home to arse and we'll beat them. Close mind.

 

[Deuterz]

They are average and now have nothing to play for.

Yeah it's a slim hope. But don't worry we got a point at Anfield.

 

[simon j]

It's true though ?

No it is not true. Depends if it against us then yes. But when We beat them and they beat Newcastle that won’t be enough if we have beaten Burnley. “Potentially” is the word they should have put in the sentence.

 

[Spaniel]

It's been said on here so many times....
It's the hope that kills you!!!

 

[ginola92]

The fear (having just lost to the dippers last weekend) is that City knock the last of the wind out of Newcastle's sails today and they subsequently end up hitting the beach.......

The double whammy of the Everton game is that if we beat Burnley as required it might well be the result which keeps the Toffes up; in which case again they can afford to phone it in against the Arse.

Both the Everton win & Burnley/Leeds losses this weekend were dreadful results for us.

I get this thinking, but Newcastle have been safe for a while and yet have still been pretty consistent at home.

I think Woolwich have been riding their luck these last 4 games, they really haven't been very good, if we can get a win against them on thursday and then beat burnley in the early kick off on sunday, I can see them crumbling away at St James.

We just have to do our job and take maximum points in our last 3 games

 

[Notabadsquad]

Also a draw in the NLD with them drawing 2 and winning 1 of the remaining 3 games will now see us finishing above them on GD...

We need to win. Simple. Woolwich then have 2 harder games to finish than us.

At least on paper they do.

 

[Notabadsquad]

Yes—as annoyed as I am with Leeds right now, we did this to ourselves. It was in our hands, and now we’re forced to beg for help.

Annoyed with Leeds? Just bizarre. Like they owe us a favour.

 

[Notabadsquad]

We lost 4th when we took one point from Brighton and Brentford

Simple as that

If we don't get 4th then correct. Mind you the form of both teams in the last 6 weeks has been exceptional. Buy yes..

 

[Nikesh]

the good news is, they was hanging on against a poor leeds team that had 10 fucking men. they are on the ropes, they are fucking shit. lets smash them cunts and then hope football justice is served and they drop more points.

Doesn't really matter in the end. They won. Now it's just about points. Newcastle will be on their holidays, Everton won't offer much

 

[Andy66]

I have faith in either Tripier or Dele fucking them over, as long as we do our bit.

 

[Andy66]

And I believe that maybe too much stock put in lower teams needing results. Once pressure off sometimes a freedom arrives. Eg an already relegated Barcodes battering us a few years back.

 

[Nikesh]

Can't believe we have to win in midweek to have any chance of stopping that talentless garbage getting champions league. They are rubbish.

And yet we are below talentless rubbish.

 

[rolling boh]

Well we have to be two aheads of the goons when they play Newcastle its the only way they may get nervy .We never really know how the team with no pressure will perform play with nothing to lose or not going to risk getting injured before the holidays so ease off a little plenty of results to back up either side .
