tidus_mi2 We have to win all our remaining games while Barnsley must lose their remaining two. Obviously I can see them losing to Norwich but the same can be said about us as we also have Norwich, away to Preston will also be a tough game but so will Swansea today for us. Then the Huddersfield game we really should be winning, especially if they have secured safety by then, which looks likely.

Technically we could still overtake Swansea but I really can't see them losing to Derby.


v Swansea we have to win today, absolutely

and we have to win both against Norwich and Huddersfield... but Swans don't have to lose to Derby. If they DRAW we can catch them

If we win (worst-case scenario for goals) 1-0, 1-0, 1-0 we finish with a GD of 14
If Swans lose 1-0, 1-0 and draw against Derby their GD will be 16

But if we can put 2 on Swans then we'd be GD 15, same as them, we win on goals-scored.

Or, of course, they could get toned at Watford 4-0, we could stick in a few against Huddersfield


I DON'T think it will happen, but we are probably 6/4 to beat Swansea, Evens to beat Huddersfield, 3/1 to beat Norwich

That's about 19-1 for all three. Bookies are offering 16-1, so good estimate, Snowers

Swansea are a ridiculous 1/100. Yes, they'll probably make it, but that bet SUCKS

Getting desperate :lol: Swift and Joao both start!

Olise and Puscas make way.

At the moment, we just need to win today and keep things alive for another week.

If we do then next week could be fun esp. if we can get our noses in front but today is all that matters.

If Swansea lose today they will be very nervous - 6 defeats from 9 then I think.

We have to stay patient as they let in late goals.

Flip flopping between Joao and Puscas isn't helping a lot and how Ejaria is teflon compared to Olise. Ejaria plays a totally different game to the rest of the team.

Watch him win us the match now.

Joao is clearly the pick and would have started if fit on Wednesday.

Yeah, but he's woefully out of form and was originally dropped for a reason. He shouldn't have been brought back as quickly and then should have stayed out longer following the injury as well.

It's quite disruptive and I doubt it's doing Puscas much good either. Should have worked his way back in from the bench over 2-3 games.

Just in time for the summer break!


Talk to him, back him. A striker can change form in a second.

Joao's problems run a little deeper than that by the looks.

You have no idea if that's true. Pure guesswork.

If everyone is in form, that is a very good side

Sadly, it's hard to describe Joao, Meite, Ejaria, Richards or Swift as in form.

Did we really have to be subjected to seeing that again, SKY?

First game I’m not watching in ages.

£10 saved. 2 hours gained with the family.

That’s the only result that matters.

Well it's not the best starts. Can't get out. Inaccurate long balls. Swift and Ejaria dropping deep into central midfield while Rino and Laurent push forward.

So much for Swansea going for a draw. Could be 2-0 already

Commo described it as aqua... is it Swansea's change strip or their home?
