On the other hand they’ve Won only 3 of their last 10 games, so they certainly aren’t supermen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed 7 wins in a row to scrape 2nd for a week. Their incredible form has allowed them a "blip", and I don't foresee them continuing along that vein.

Keyblade Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Honestly, if Wolves lose this weekend I can see them bottling it. Cardiff can be 3 points behind and us 7, with a chance to cut that to 4 in a week's time. The pressure is well and truly on for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem, and indeed real difference, here is that unlike Fulham Bruce won’t believe we can beat Wolves and will almost certainly play it safe. Fulham went for Wolves and played on the front foot wherever possible and it rattled Wolves. Bruce is just too cautious. We’re only in the hunt for second and it’s imperative we stay in touch with and beat Cardiff (and Derby) when they visit VP. Wolves will run out winners I’m sure and it’s all to play for for second, in my opinion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I would love for neves ad then 4 other first teamers get injured just to see how wolves do. We have had this near enough all season. If Cardiff win next game cant see them dropping any for their next two. Barnsley and blosers at home. Cant get any easier than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see this happening with the greatest of respect to you. They might be spluttering at the moment but are still a well oiled machine with many talented players imo and a very switched on coach - all teams have periods when they are not firing on all cylinders- goodness we know only too well. i expect the dingle's to finish strongly and wrap up the title sooner rather than later 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can only add more pressure playing catch up The Cardiff-Wolves game has been moved to the Friday night. So even if we our game hadn’t been moved, there would have been a likely chance we’d be playing catch up anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Yeah I cant see Wolves bottling it, unless big injuries come in. But at least its making them weap. Getting too big for their boots. I just hope to god we turn up against them as we can beat them if we play to our potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible form ? They’ve taken 2 points more than us over the last 31 games .and we’ve both lost 5 of those 30 . The difference is we had a shit start and they took 9 points to our 1 point over the first 3 games - since then only 2 points difference.

I would suggest the real pressure is on us to achieve automatic promotion through second, against a Cardiff team that just keep going, and with Derby and Fulham right on our tail.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I think it will be three wins out of three for cardiff next three so we cant afford any more slip ups with wolves they have to go away to us and cardiff and also have derby. imagine they lose them three games?

Surprisingly, they are bricking it. Most of them are loving life, as they should be, but a lot are fearing they will collapse now and make play offs. With that in mind, 12 Cup finals coming up. Let's go win every game. We can do that, right?! recent cup history suggests that we should play every game like a semi-final 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in away games to Boro and Leeds, there’s a few tricky games for Wolves before they reach the finish line. My feeling is they’ll lose the game to Cardiff, which will probably be no good for us. I don’t think we will catch them, but I don’t see the harm in having that as an aim. Who knows, not many would have said they’d lose to an out of sorts Forest at home. If we win both our games against Wolves and Cardiff, I’d be amazed (and gutted) if we didn’t secure top two.

Draw would be fantastic for us. Villa win scenario if all stays the same until then points wise. Cardiff - Wolves = draw. We close gap to 2 and 8 respectively. (We play them both and can overtake Cardiff with a win and close gap to 5 with a win over Wolves (within 2 wins). Cardiff - win - Gap is still 4 with Cardiff.. and a win over Cardiff we are still 1 point away from them. Against Wolves we close gap to 7 and 4 if we beat Wolves. (still within 2 wins). Wolves - win - We close gap to 1 with Cardiff. A win over Cardiff we overtake by 2. Wolves still 10 ahead.. if we beat them we close to 7. (within 3 wins) So to summarise the obvious. A draw would be a fantastic result. Win win for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with that. No Harm for aiming for Wolves but cant see it myself unless they suffer some injuries. Fulham are on fire at the moment esp at home so its not like they lost to Barnsley for example. If the gap is extended any further than 4 points in next few weeks i think we are out of it for 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't ask for points by telling the football League we had a shit start so they need to adjust the points to reflect only the last 31 games. Both them and Cardiff had VERY good starts, and have been overall more consistent than us. That is why we are where we are, and they are, where they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
