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've got a tough run in from now on, including SW away on the last day. It's going to take an almighty effort for us to stay in the top 6 now, one which I don't think our defence is up to.

I agree the defence is shocking and it's surprising we've done as well as we have with it although they have definitely cost us points at times (not forgetting something like 8 missed penalties). I've already said I hope we don't go up as we're not good enough.

Derby away - would be happy with a point but can't see it
Ipswich home - think we're get a scappy win
Norwich away - think we should be good enough to win this but can see us getting just a point
Villa home - think we're be good enough to win this...just. Edgy win by odd goal
Huddersfield away - nothing from this
Brentford home - murdered them away and they'll want revenge. We'll need a win and think it'll be a draw
Wednesday away - make or break. We will need a win, they'll be happy for a win/draw and it'll be tight. Think we're come up short

I hate to say it, but whoever put that together has wasted valuable time on earth which would have been better spent doing almost anything else.
It was on twitter, believe it's come from Coral's bookies,
Why is it a waste of time? Gives a lot of fans some hope surely?

:whoo: We are safe from relegation. I saw this earlier today, and must admit took no notice. I know all the points and league positions of the top eight, as well as their games to come. What you do when you are a fanatical supporter of nearly 50 years, and you are having a rare good season.:eek:

You've had a few good ones in the last decade or so. Bit of a famine before that granted

I just don't see the point of it, most teams will finish within a couple of places either way of where they are now, of course it might be mathematically possible for teams to finish in those low and high spots but it isn't actually going to happen, for any team.

For any team to finish in the high or low position shown would require the most ludicrous combination of results. so ludicrous, that it wasn't worth the effort calculating.

Maybe to you or me, but if the bookies have daft odds on some of theses teams going on a run or collapsing then some mug might waste money betting on it, so from a bookies point of view it could be a money spinner.

oh dear Fulham not what i was expecting

It's frustrating as a Fulham fan right now and the comments from the Derby fans sum us up perfectly...

"Can't fathom how we won"
"Best team we have seen this season"
"Play great football"
"Cut through us like butter"
"We barely touched the ball"

Then...

"Their keeper is appealing"
"Their defending is terrible"
"If the could defend like theyattack they'd be 10 points clear"
"We scored from 2 goalkeeping howlers"

Same story all season, defensively we are a shambles
