dn1982 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Cardiff have lost 7 games all season and we need them to lose 4 in 10 that’s a bit much to ask. At the end of last season I wanted us to use the games to test our kids as they were meaningless. Even though these next ones aren’t we should be looking at getting the likes of Green and Kodija match fit for the playoffs. We should box clever as the games run down by resting some and playing others. Huddersfield played a very weak side v Blues last year so let’s get top 4 wrapped up and then be a bit clever.

Cardiff could draw a.l their remaining games and we could overtake them, it’s not just losses. It’s unlikely but it don’t hav3 to be be four defeats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rubberman Posted March 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2018 I don't think we should to piss about until the fat lady has sung. It's very unlikely now but we should still aim for automatic until it has mathematically gone. Start winning again and see where it takes us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skills Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 watched the Fulham game vs QPR and despite the fact they gave up a 2 goal lead, they played some fantastic football that I don't think we can match over two legs but may be able to pip them in a one off match if we get there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I don't think we will beat them in a one off or over 2 legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 There is often a team that finishes strongly and storms the playoffs. 3 teams sitting handy within 3 points of the playoffs. Of those possibly Preston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hev Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Do you think that the home leg of the play off will be free to Season Ticket Holders - it is a league game technically? Would be great if it was - we need to do all we can to sell out 42,642 for that game for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 We have no chance of automatics, Cardiff are a much more consistent side than us and will win the amount of games they require to retain second... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
