    That is one hell of a hill. Couldn't they tilt the camera the other way and make it nicer for them.

    Great point for Brentford!
    Catching Arsenal unlikely.
    Overtaking Forest is a strong possibility.

    Win our games in hand, beat them in the penultimate game and match their results in between and we will be a point off them going into the final game of the season!

    Games in hand count for nothing until they've been won.

    Rather be in our position than City, Forest, Chelsea and Villa.

    No, it doesn’t because he’s talking about our position today. We win a lot and the probability is we will get 3 or 4 points. It’s a different probability if we were in the bottom 5 as we would then usually be losing a lot.

    We're 7th until they've earned more points. It's just as easy to say we'll lose them. This is why I'm saying games in hand don't count until you've played them.


    We have to wait and see.

    To see the outcome, yes. But to decide whose position you’d prefer to be in, you decide now.

    It's unwise when all we need to be sure is a few days. I mean, sure people can and I'm just not sure.

    It does, but I’d still rather be in our position. Wouldn’t you?

    Could say we haven’t dropped points yet though, with MORE potential to earn points…

    Fair enough but I wouldn't just now .. I'd rather have played the same amount of games and collected whatever points we can.

    I know but you have to earn the right winning two very difficult games vs two capable sides.

    I'd rather have the possibility of earning more points knowing that we have a good chance of earning them than have our current points total and be on 32 games played.

    Of course ideal world we would already have the additional 6 points and be on 59.

    Points over chance for me that's all.

    That statement is just plain obvious.

    But we are in the position of not having played the two games. And as such we have an opportunity where we have a better chance than not of winning them due to form and our position.

    I firmly believe we will get 4 or 6 points out of the next two games which will set us up nicely.

    People are counting points before they've got them though mate. It's only a few more days possibly a few hours until the picture looks more clear though.

    One game at a time is all you can focus on really.
