Former Leeds United star and Sky Sports pundit predicts Cardiff City and Huddersfield to be relegated


He is much more optimistic about Fulham's survival chances


Monday 12th November 2018


Former Leeds United and England defender Danny Mills believes Fulham have a better chance of Premier League survival than Cardiff City or Huddersfield.

That's despite the Bluebirds currently sitting on eight points, three ahead of Fulham who they beat 4-2 earlier in the season.

Neil Warnock's side are actually level with Crystal Palace and Southampton, currently in the bottom three on goal difference.

But Mills has predicted a gloomy future for both Cardiff and Huddersfield, despite the promising form of both sides. He believes Fulham have the quality to get out of trouble.

"The problem is that, all the teams down there that got decent results (at the weekend), all the teams around them got decent results as well. They haven't been cut away," he told Sky Sports.



"It's just a bit more congested down at the bottom there.

"And the teams at the top are so much better it's even harder to beat them this season.

"I think Cardiff and Huddersfield are going to have a real tough time of it, just through a sheer amount of quality and scoring goals, and somebody else is likely to get drawn into it."

"Do you see Cardiff winning three out of five games? Not really. Do I see Huddersfield doing that? No.

"There's always hope, but not much realism I would say."



Mills went on to give Fulham hope of survival, even though Slavisa Jokanovic's side haven't won since the second week of the season.

He reiterated his concerns about both Cardiff and Huddersfield.



"Fulham are still down there at the moment," he added. "Fulham have quality players. If they can shore up their defence, however they do that, they will score goals and they have quality in that side.

"I look at Cardiff and it's going to be a tough season. Neil Warnock accepts that it's going to be very, very difficult.

"Huddersfield equally - are they going to score enough goals? I think most of their goals are from set pieces and centre halves and defenders are amongst their top scorers.

"It's going to be very, very difficult for them."

Funny Fulham have Chelsea and man u away in next 5 games! So they will need to stiffen up very quickly to win 3 out of games, no mention of other team to go down with us 2 either?

Still bitter from when we dumped Leeds out of the cup

We've scored more than Southampton Newcastle palace Huddersfield and same as Fulham.

Keep writing us off

That's for sure b******s to all of Em, keep writing shit articles,in the hope of what? This club is more united than they dare give us credit for,

Another lazy journo. Believing what others have written about us and probably never having watched our games.

I've been impressed that some are now giving us credit for our performances and improvement. But most importantly are praising the atmosphere and impact the fans are having. It's like they're shocked when they finally so watch us play.

If I was a neutral observer I would say Huddersfield & Cardiff are more or less certainties to go down. I imagine most footy fans throughout the country would say much the same. That's why the game is so popular, things don't always go the way everyone expects it to go, and it is possible that both clubs may end up avoiding relegation. Hardly surprising to see that the pundits are writing us off. We were relegation favourites from the minute we won promotion.

Its all very well Fulham trying to tighten up at the back,but they haven’t scored a goal in over 400 minutes of play. This is a shocking article written without any thought.

Let them all keep writing us off, we thrive on being the underdog. We're realists we know we're in for a tough season but we'll be the ones laughing come the end of the season if we prove everyone wrong. One thing is certain, we'll give it our very best shot.
