Jareth Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Really hard to come off that NUFC performance, at Brentford - so different, so hard to recreate that match. Expected nothing when they scored, so will take that point all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VillaChris Posted April 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2023 Today might actually be a very good point. After we drew at West Ham we won our next four.... There's a reason why Brentford only have lost two at home and indeed went from November-March without losing a single game. They remind me of peak Stoke in this league in how strong they are defensively with plenty of pace and power in final third. If they show same intensity I think they'll get at least a draw when they play Spurs and could also get something at Anfield so they can still help us out in the run in. We are still 6th and will have a chance of going into 5th if Spurs don't pick up anything tomorrow which everyone on here should want given our hopes for 4th are very very remote indeed. I think today also showed the value of putting fresh legs on the hour mark when you play flat. None of the three players we put on are amazing but it just gave us more life past the halfway line so we could push up a bit. We really need some of Cash, Kamara, Coutinho fit in next two weeks to give us more options to rotate. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 letting the disappointment settle for a bit... I agree, good point, keeps us ahead of Liverpool just. It maybe resets expectations a touch again. But we have to be on it again. Hopefully Emi isn't out for long and Kamara and co come back soon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm less concerned about Spurs, AND we play Spurs. We are not getting champions league. Pipe dream i am afraid Europa/conference definitely possible though 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Even to finish 5th-7th we're going to have to win at least three of the remaining games, and probably draw at least one of the others. Basically I don't think any of those positions will be attainable if we don't get a win against Fulham, is what I'm saying, so this really is a 'must-win'.

With Liverpool and Fulham winning our best chance now is finishing above Spurs. So I’m keeping everything crossed for a Geordie win now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
