Wonder if Cardiff's cup exploits will affect their form. May be buoyed up by a win this weekend or completely worn out if they lose. Let's hope they recover to get a draw with WHU. Our games look good on paper!!
I personally hope WH win every game between now and the end of the season, think they are pretty much nailed on for an auto place anyway and its between us and 4 others for 2nd spot (Boro, Brum, Reading and Blackpool). So now we've played WH twice I hope they can beat the other people challenging us for 2nd.
As I said in a previous thread, Birmingham seems to have nothng but pushover games. That's worrying, as they can win all their next five vaguely with ease. Reading's form is worrying too. Shows how tight it is up there, as a few of those Ds and Ls being Ws and could be a few more teams with us on 59.
I wouldn't call Cov A Burnley A and Leicester A pushover games tbh. Agree that they will probably win their next 2 home games, but can see them dropping points in at least 1 of their away games.
No games a pushover, but got to better than playing Birmingham, Cardiff and West Ham again. If we deserve promotion then we should get a lot of points from these games.
Think West Ham have been lucky when playing the top teams, played Blackpool straight after a cup game and will play Cardiff after a cup game too. Also Blackpool can not be discounted, they are on great form (discounting the West Ham game). I'm a little nervous about Borough and Cardiff to but recon they are probably comfortable play off teams
Never fear, Put Birmingham in my accumulator this week. And will continue to do so until they're in the bottom half the table . Did anyone pick up Accum D i think it was at the Derby match btw? 25/1 came in, any takers?
Notice Birmingham have signed Andros Townsend from Spurs on loan. Have to say I'm not sure where we'd fit in anyone else in our squad at the moment, so not worried that we haven't brought anyone else in.
Andros was awful for us, no final product, 9 clubs by the time hes 21 says everything you need to know
