2020/21 - The Run In and Top 4 chances - an Ongoing Analysis

[FoxOnWheels]

Absolute shambles, the players show there good enough for 9/10 of the season then fall to bits and shit their pants 

[Pliskin]

I think it’s pretty much over. It’s kind of out of our hands even though it isn’t, purely on the games we have left. 
 

I can’t see us winning again at all. Our form is dreadful, worst it’s been all season. The heads have gone, and now we’ve got to find two wins from the three games left? 
 

Won’t happen in a million years.

Can't us winning again this season. Evans is a huge loss. Lack of organisational skills in defence was exposed today. 

 

Hoping Evans can be back for the final. 

 

Just awful

1 win and 1 draw will be enough. Leaving it late as always.

[Corky]

Not going to worry about it. The players tonight weren't so why should we be?

[Mickyblueeyes]

It’s getting to be a worry now. Really is. I still actually think 4 points does it. Don’t ask me why, I haven’t got graphs and a fancy pie chart to back it up but I just think we will either make it or fall desperately close.

And who’s the win and draw coming against with our current form?

[Pliskin]

Will 5th be a CL place due to two teams in the final? 

[Mike Oxlong]

 

Sign ‘em up !

Man U reserves and Spurs.

[davieG]

We enter the field believing the hype and play like it's an exhibition game to show off how wonderful we are but we've forgotten to tell the opposition.

No.

We can’t even beat Southampton and Newcastle so how are we going to beat Man U, Chelsea and Spurs?

Clutching at anything here.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Spare yourself the heartache and accept we're in the EL again at best. Anything better is a bonus.

We won’t, we will be savaged in every game! 

[Tuna]

Can't see us getting another point.

[foxes_rule1978]

our away form is seriously much better than at home... I still believe we will do enough. I will remain optimistic

[David Guiza]

It's all about momentum, unfortunately. If we'd just won tonight to go 5 points clear then it would be a completely different story, even with the 'big 3' fixtures coming up. Instead, we should realistically have just moved 10 points clear, having played a game more, after throwing away 5 points against two poor sides.

 

The seemingly injured Evans, our apparent weak mentality, and the fact that we've all been here before makes it seem practically impossible to me.

 

I think our only hope is that we sneak 3/4 points from the final 3 games and the teams around us have a similar implosion to us with their winnable fixtures. I really cannot see it, but it's not out of the question that the chasing pack don't capitilise over the weekend, but Spurs are realistically the only side I could maybe see dropping points.

 

I never thought I'd see the day that we'd finish 5th one year and somewhere between 5th and 6th (God forbid we fall out the top 6!) the next in the top flight and I'd be disappointed, but here we are!
 

Anyway, back to cheering on Leeds, Southampton, Man City, Everton .  

[KrefelderFox666]

If we miss out on Top 4 it will be down to our shocking home form. Empty grounds cannot be an excuse because everyone is in the same boat.

We haven’t, Brendan has. He’s done really well to build us such a great narrative with such a poor actual ability. He’s failed before and he’s failed again. Bollockless. Bottler.

Took over a non-established mid table size and got them two top 6 finishes in a row, hasn’t he? 

[Les-TA-Jon]

UPDATE 7th May 

 

Fvcked it 

[lcfcell]

 I respect anyone that can stay hopeful we will do it but we’ve blown it again. 

[Mike Oxlong]

Our last two seasons are a bit like spending all evening in a bar chatting up a really attractive fun woman and then when getting back to her place finding out that you’ve actually hooked up with a thai ladyboy
