The Promotion Chasing Thread

[Hooray]

Forest doing everyone in that Top 8 a big favour tonight

 

[mpmbee]

What a shit round of fixtures for Bournemouth.

 

[Luke_1884]

Who in the top 6 still has to play Forest?

This Pearce out Freedman in could be a master stroke from Fawaz for us.

We've got them at Carrow Road in March.

 

[Tom_ITFC]

We've got them as our last home game, so hopefully they'll have nothing to play for by then

 

[Rammy]

Bournemouth, one point off 7th now. Wow.

 

[Mr Elmo]

Fawaz is the best thing side sliced bread to Forest fans, and if he can help get results like that then I agree

 

[markwwfc1992]

We got Forest near the end of the season, they beat us 3-0 with Pearce though...

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Reckon if Forest had Freedman in earlier they'd be right in the mix.

Table looks awfully scary now. But it's all there for us. Many of the other sides have to play each other so they're all going to drop points. Derby have something like 5 of the top 8 coming up, if they can beat them all to win the league it'll make 2nd place very obtainable for anyone who can put a few results together.

In our promotion season from League One, we lost every game in February I believe, and then stormed 8 wins on the bounce in March onwards to win promotion. We all knew February was going to a hard month for us, ok it's gone worse than we hoped, but it's still all to play for.

 

[mpmbee]

Derby and Ipswich away are our only games left against teams in the top eight. If we can nick a couple of results in these games and carry on picking up points consistently like we have then I fancy us to get into the playoffs whilst other top teams are taking ponts off eachother.

February & March were ear-marked as horrible fixture-wise, and it's proven so. Shame it's also coincided with injuries, suspensions and what seems just general tiredness.

Stay in touch until the Middlesborough game and we still have a really good chance, we have by far the best run-in of any of the top 6, (Other than Ipswich away!) but I have a feeling this winless run might go on a little while longer.

 

[Munkiki]

The top three all have to come to Carrow Road. If we win those (we won't), we might be in the mix for automatic. Still looking behind us at the moment though. 5 wins in a row and we're only 1 point inside the play-offs. We can't keep winning and all it takes is one game to drop out.

 

[Rammy]

In mid March, we've got Norwich away, Boro at home, and Wolves away all in the space of a week.

and we've got George Thorne !!

 

[Rammy]

Same week Middlesbrough have got Bournemouth, us, and Ipswich.

 

[markwwfc1992]

We owe you a 5-0

 

[Veggie Legs]

Same week Middlesbrough have got Bournemouth, us, and Ipswich.

After we play Boro I think our next games are Watford and Bournemouth. Norwich and Brentford before that.

In other words, there's a lot of big games this month between the promotion contenders.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Currently 3 points of 3rd and 8 off top of the league. Great considering we lost nearly every game in a 2 month period.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Now Fulham 2-0 Derby! Brentford and Watford also losing, Bournemouth and Middlesbrough drawing, only Wolves winning in the top 8. Good for them so far today, and Ipswich and Norwich.

 

[MagpieBee]

Seems to be a great day to pick up 3 points! Very disappointed with us so far, but plenty of time to try and turn it around.

 

[Rammy]

We've been woeful, and I solely blame Cardsfan.

No comeback like in the League Cup this time.

 

[Rammy]

Wednesday 1 up against Boro.

 

[Rammy]

Make that 2-0

At least they're screwing up too.

 

[Rammy]

Bent goes off injured, so there's no hope whatsoever of a comeback for us now.

 

[Super_horns]

Big win if we can complete the comeback.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Middlesbrough fuck my bet up again...

 

[mpmbee]

Awful performance and game today. Really frustrating as Birmingham were rubbish too. Warbs' call to play the same side as Tuesday backfired as some of the squad players didn't look si good when they weren't up against a pub team.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Great win for us again, seem to be going along unnoticed here and the longer that goes on the better. 5 wins out of 6 vs the relegated Prem teams is a decent return for a team promoted from League 1.

Bournemouth away on Tuesday will be tough.

 

[SUTSS]

This all makes tomorrow's derby even more important, whoever wins is right in the automatic hunt.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Bournemouth finishes 0-0, can't imagine they've had many of those this season.
