Match Preview;
Slaven Billic's West Brom suffered a surprise defeat on Friday against 18th place Huddersfield, a loss which makes the final set of games very interesting at the top. As far as I can work out, here are the possibilities...
- West Brom win and they are up.
- Any of West Brom, Brentford or Fulham win, and the other two lose and the team that wins are promoted.
- Brentford win and anything other than a win for West Brom will see the Bees promoted.
- Fulham need to win, and both Brentford and West Brom to lose and they are up.
- Fulham win by 17 goals, Brentford lose and West Brom draw and Fulham are up.
The dilemma was explained very clearly by Beth in the Matchday thread for our last game. When discussing Darnell Furlong's fee she wrote;
I have been a bit soft towards Brentford in the past, but that all changed last week. I spoke to a mate who I hadn't spoken to in a few years...and he is a Brentford fan. Speaking to him just made me realise how unbearable they'll be if they go up. Even worse, what if they sneak up and actually do well...doesn't bare thinking about. I never want QPR to lose, but on this occasion, I'd be lying if I said I would be upset to see us lose and both Brentford and Fulham go into the uncertainty of the playoffs.
West Brom will surely be very up for this game, and out for a win to secure promotion. They have two strikers who have scored 10 or more (albeit just) this year...but both of them touch a nerve for me. Austin has 11, but touches a nerve because he left us to take his amazing opportunity, but I feel he jumped ship as soon as it didn't look too awful. Robson-Kanu has 10 goals so far, and he touches a nerve because he was three years below me at the same high school, and every time I see him play he reminds me that we both had the same opportunity to shine...and he did. Whatever.
A win could see us finish 13th and a loss could drop us down to 16th so we have a bit of pride to play for...but otherwise I am just quite glad we are comfortable and able to write this season off and start again in a few weeks.
I'll add some team news when/if it goes on the official and enjoy those who are watching...and as always...
...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!
