A draw not good enough tonight for top six. Prefer the win and start hunting Reading and Leeds down. Stupid penalty to give away and put ourselves under pressure

Not so easy to break into the top six. To be fair Blackburn have picked up recently, unbeaten in six i think.

Fulham will have another chance next game as we are playing Wednesday on Saturday, so to speak. We then have Leeds coming on, so game on.

We concede too many goals, we can't expect to win 3-2 every week. Sadly, I think that is what will cost us. The funny thing is, I was more worried about this game than Newcastle. Still, considering how far behind we were a few weeks ago, we've done well to get back in touch and there are a lot of twists and turns to come yet.

Have to agree but a terrible goal to concede so deep in injury time. Typical Fulham. Like Hawkeye said, plenty of twists to come and maybe better to leave it late to steal a place.

I think that the top six apart from the Toon and Brighton are looking over their shoulders ,even the Terriers as their run will come to an end before the season end ,it will be sides like Fulham and preston that will be pushing hard and Reading and the likes will be getting jittery.
its all to play for and it will get very tight at the end for ALL the teams concerned .

Dont think Hudderfield are looking over their shoulders. 10 points ahead of Fulham and a game in hand with ten to play. Think they are looking up . Win game in hand threee points behind Brighton and Newcastle. Think those two should be concerned about dropping out of the top two.

Toon and Brighton should be looking over their shoulders at Huddersfield. The rest should be worried about Fulham. Fulham should be worried about their flaky defence.

.
with 27 points still to play for all the top six should be wary .its going to be tight again this year for automatic and playoff places ,i just hope that Brighton can get automatic as they have failed in the playoffs far too often.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Reading doing Fulham a favour so far.

and Bristol City stuffing Huddersfield 2 zip at half time .which is very nice for me .

 

[richart]

Cracking result tonight. We have had a tough run of games, but apart from Leeds at home, we have no more teams in the top 8 to play.

Have a feeling we may have opened the door for Fulham to get into the play offs.

 

[Fish]

Ouch, that's a real thumping, lacklustre tired performance, could have been worse and thoughts of the 5-nil to Fulham came flooding back 😞

 

[Norrin Radd]

4 zip ,couldnt have asked for better,points on the board are what counts not games in hand .
now all I need is for the mighty Seagulls to stuff the dirty Leeds later on today and things will be rosy.an even better day would be the Toon having a mare as well.
its nice to dream isnt it .lol.

Still not easy to break into the top 6.

Wolves were one of the best teams we have played at the Mad Stad recently. Fancied they might get a result at Fulham. A win for Brighton at Leeds would be good now.

Our defence is a shambles, still not out of it but think we will just miss out

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I think we'll miss out and I'll be happy to especially with the way we defend. If we can get some steel into the team and keep the attacking potential we'll be in a far stronger place next season

 

[Norrin Radd]

well that didnt go to plan ,2-0 to dirty Leeds ,but at least the Toon only drew .

 

[richart]

DIrty Leeds seen off. Just seen the head stamp. Not very nice. Yann is the man.:whoo:

Caught it in the bar after our match v Maidenhead and very cheap and nasty and hope they take action over that. And the mighty Fulham enter the play off fray.

 

[Norrin Radd]

nothing is certain yet but it looks better for the top two after todays results.
and Fulham have got to keep it going to stay in the top six as i cant see Wednesday playing rubbish like they have been for a while ,they will find some form before the end.

We have Wednesday away last game of the season and all things being equal I can see that may be a one off decider for 6th place
