Championship 2017/18

[Vacamion]

 

Derby had their typical end of season collapse after January.

 

You get the feeling that they won’t pull up trees if they get in the playoffs.

 

at Colin, though...

[Raw Dykes]

Nice shot by bombscare, there.

[Raw Dykes]

That's it! Derby 3-1 Cardiff! Going to the wire.

[Wymsey]

Fulham are going to do it, aren't they?

[Corky]

Fulham will offer the football next year, Cardiff will need serious reinforcements and probably a new manager to be a decent side as Warnock isn't good at that level.

 

Hope both get promoted.

[KFS]

Any of the trash in the playoff spots currently would be shite for the Premier League. Fulham autos and then Derby through the playoffs. Even then I'm shuddering at the thought.

[Guest FriendlyRam]

I enjoyed it because Warnock is a w*****  

 

Nothing against Cardiff though, decent club and good fans in my experience so wish them the best.

 

Fulham or Cardiff don't mind, just please don't both have a stinker last 2 games and let bloody Bruce in through the back door (hopefully we get something against them at the weekend.)

[Bert]

Sean Morrison don't you look a sausage now.... 

 

Glad Derby won. Gives Fulham a sniff at auto promotion. Would love Brentford to sneak in the playoffs.

Cardiff have Hull away and Reading at home; can't see them getting less than 4 points from these.

Outside of wolves, Fulham are the most likely to stick in the prem

True, but that won't be enough if Fulham win the last two games of the season.

Nothing against Fulham. Good club, lovely ground. But the Prem really doesn't need yet another London club. Would rather see another club from the provinces go up.

[Kopfkino]

Gutted Derby won, looking difficult for Brentford to make play offs now. Bought a ticket for their final game at home to Hull in anticipation as well. 

[Happy Fox]

No better feeling than Dierby losing in the playoffs 

[Wymsey]

Can see Fulham winning against Sunderland comprehensively.

It'll be brilliant if Fulham and Brentford come up, an additional two superb away days.

too many tinpot southern clubs as it is

Massive game down the bottom at the weekend- Burton v Bolton. Be a great achievement for Burton if they can stay up, particularly after where they were a couple of weeks ago.

Clough will have done superbly again if Burton stay up. They are massively above where they should be and fair play to them.

Jack Rodwell is AWOL.

I was considering going to Burton v Bolton as I live in Burton, but then I checked the prices online - £20 just to stand in the terraces!

Fulham are a long way from tinpot, they have a huge financial backing and a good management team.

He isn't ready to play mentally, he is physically still at the club.

Clough was great for us, a lot of our fans don't appreciate what he did for us when he was here, he was working on a shoestring, and the season after that 11 point season he kept us up when we had a horrible side, just look at what's happened to Sunderland this season, I'd argue that side we had wasn't much better. Clough also built the side we should have gone up with in 14, and he built it with less than what we paid for Bradley Johnson. He just couldn't find the right balance, but he was brilliant for us in hindsight.

Sounds like your equivalent of Nigel Pearson. You should get him back in!
