Brentford won't win another 5 in a row though will they?
The way they're playing I have to assume they will. We won't be getting any favors from either Brentford or WBA.

But that's fine. We will take ten points from the final five games and it won't matter what either of them do.

What they do has no relevance to us at all if we are winning..
Wasnt just Brentford reports, was just keeping everyone abreast of what was happening around the grounds.

The thing about Brentford's 5 wins on the trot is that, every team that has such a run comes unstuck after a winning sequence. It's happened to us, it's happened to just about every team that's had a decent winning sequence. Granted Liverpool and Man City have had win sequences longer than most, but even Man City have had a setback or few this season.
Brentford are having a scintillating run but nothing lasts forever. All it takes is for one of their opponents to have a brilliant play-out-of their-skins game (sandwiched between 2 losses probably) like Watford had against Liverpool this season for example.

We'll have to wait and see won't we! I stlll think we'd give them a run for their money if we had to play them this season.

Let's not forget we still have, on paper for all that's worth in this league, the easier run in compared to the teams below us. Thanks to all for the running commentary, I'm foregoing watching the live streams as the atmosphere creeps me out. Will make an exception for the deciding games of course.

Interestingly Bielsa is the third longest serving manager in the league, only Tony Mowbray and Alex Neil have been in jobs longer!

Yeesh!

Just looked ar the next round of fixtures, by the time we next play WBA could be two behind and Brentford could be three behind with a better GD!

On the otherhand we could have the chance to open up a seven point gap!

This is nuts.

We can expect Stoke to park the bus too.

So many permutations.

"They come with an attitude and belief that they are going to win but I don't think it was a vintage performance from them.

"They're a good side with a world-class coach. The football world is looking forward to seeing how they'll get on in the Premier League against genuine class opposition. They're a club I like and I hope they do well because it will be exciting for the English game for them to be back in the Premier League."
Tempting fate here l think just as Jeff Selling on sky saying 'Leeds surely are going up aren't they.....aren't they' ? Im sure they're just waiting for us to *u k up again.

Thought they were totally out of it
Fulham won't catch us although it's good they are still in the mix as they have to play West Brom on the 14th July, if the Cottagers had no chance of automatic promotion they may rest their better players for the play-offs

Fulham's tough run-in

Forest (a)
Cardiff (h)
West Brom (a)
Sheff Wed (h)
Wigan (a)

Ironically Fulham have won their last two games without their big dirty No.9

Think positive thoughts folks - it may somehow spread to the team and buoy their spirits in time for the grand finale.
Any of them reading this would think we think they can't make it and it will depress them.

We're going up and we'll deserve it! Even your favourite whipping boy is scoring nice and steadily - keep it up Paddy! :tup: :tup:
