Typical one-eyed tosh from the media. I was listening to these tossers after the Fulham v Wolves game. They only mentioned us as promotion candidates as an after thought. Let em ignore us I say...

We're home to Birmingham
Villa home v Wolves
Fulham away v Preston

With a game in hand over Fulham, potentially 11 points clear of them come next Tuesday.


Come on Preston !!!


Come on Preston and if you can't beat them at lease injure a few !!!

Wolves win or a draw to Villa ?? Probably Wolves win, especially if they lose or draw tonight !

They are no closer to us now than they were 8 games ago




Leeds not even in the top 20 on current form :o

Leeds v Wolves - DRAW
Cardiff v Birmingham - HOME WIN
Preston v Fulham - AWAY WIN
Aston Villa v Wolves - HOME WIN

IF, and it’s only an if obviously, this is how the table would look with ten games to go (Fulham would have nine to go):


Wolves - 74 points
Cardiff - 73 points
Aston Villa - 69 points
Fulham - 68 points


That is why I think Wolves have to win at Leeds. I can’t see them winning at Villa (I expect them to lose that). If they don’t win either of those two games, it will be five games without a win and their huge lead evaporated. Confidence is a huge factor in any clubs going for promotion, as we can see by us and Fulham. In reality, Villa messed up. They had a chance to get a lead over us before our winning streak but got a few dodgy results. That’s what I mean by confidence.

Wolves are in danger of messing this up completely. After the weekend, there’s a strong possibility they will be the team in the top four who are out of form going into the final stretch.

I think they’ll draw at Leeds and lose at Villa. Their main man Neves is suspended for the Leeds match.

As a side note, I genuinely feel out of the top four that Fulham are the only club who could bounce back in the play-offs. I don’t think Wolves would do it because of shock at not winning the league and their fans would be more edgy than other club’s.
With us and Villa, I think the disappointment would be too much.

I’ve stuck a tenner on Preston to go up at 14/1. There’s normally a team that unexpectedly makes the play-offs, and I think it could be them. If they then make the top six, they’re difficult to beat.

That reply went on longer than I expected :lol:


Preston away is not easy, i'm hoping they can beat Fulham and break their good run !!!!

Fulham do look very strong but it wasn't to long ago so did Derby and at one time Bristol. I think there will be plenty of twists and turns yet. Who would have thought Wolves would have been on the run they are at the moment.

Wolves at home will be a massive occasion, if we beat them and go top at their expense, I can hear the chants now, you were top and you fucked it up.
