Eco Posted July 14, 2020 Author Posted July 14, 2020 If Fulham gets any points, it's likely will result in automatic promotion for Leeds. I'll be watching Forest vs Swans. Hoping Forest can get 3 points and confirm their place in the playoffs.
Devil-Dick Willie Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 I just wanna see a new team go up, even if they go back down. Fuck Fulham and Brentford

Danny Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 It’s frustrating that West Brom didn’t lose but there’s still hope with a draw, we just need to keep the winning streak up and hope Huddersfield or QPR can draw at least

Is there any connection other than the coach being Danish?

On top of that we have a player from Iceland, 2 from Finland and 1 from Sweden. The Swede being Jansson and just a coincidence. Hence the nickname Brentfjord

Redcanuck Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 It would be interesting to see Brentford come up, I believe they haven't been in the top division since WW2.

Administrator Stan Posted July 16, 2020 Administrator Posted July 16, 2020 Brentford play before Leeds next do, so if the Bees don't win, Leeds are back in the Premier League! And as a bonus, if West Brom don't win either, Leeds are confirmed title winners! Derby vs Leeds Huddersfield vs West Brom Stoke vs Brentford Fulham vs Sheff Weds Barnsley vs Nottm Forest Middlesbrough vs Cardiff QPR vs Millwall Swansea vs Bristol City Preston vs Birmingham @Eco just for you - Forest can confirm their play-off spot if Millwall and Swansea don't win the day before them.
Eco Posted July 16, 2020 Author Posted July 16, 2020 Yeah - I'll certainly be watching the Millwall and Swans match and hoping and praying. While I think Forest have a great change against Barnsley on Sunday, it'll be nice to have a confirmed spot before the Forest match even begins. Could be a massive weekend for both Leeds and Forest, two clubs that have reached this level in far too long.
Dave Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 Anything other than Leeds, West Brom and Brentford would be a shame really. I like what Lamouchi and Parker are doing at their clubs but the top three are another level and should all be competitive in the top flight.
Danny Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 Not sure if I feel this bad because of my hangover or the result. I’ve not watched the game back, fuck that, why would you do it to yourself? We were unlucky, couple of guilt edged chances, clear penalty on Pinnock not given. It happens. Still can only hope QPR do us a favour, for our sake I hope we smash Barnsley to pieces whether we go up in the autos or not. It was always going to be hard winning 8-9 games in a row, not making the autos and then having to win 2/3 more games at least in the play offs. This loss could be the push we need to kick start the form and quality of our football again as prior to Stoke we’ve put in a couple of performances where we played well at times, bad at others and overall could have done better. We also sold Yoann Barbet to QPR in the Summer and as unlikely as it is, Barbet scoring a last minute winner against West Brom to send us up would be fucking sexual
Administrator Stan Posted July 19, 2020 Administrator Posted July 19, 2020 3-horse race with 2 sides being the front-runners for the play-off spots. Also a 3-horse race for automatic promotion... Forest & Cardiff just have to match Swansea's result. Forest can miss out if Cardiff and Swansea win and they lose, as they have an inferior GD to Swansea. West Brom just have to match Brentford & Fulham's results. Fulham have to hope both lose while they win. Brentford can draw and if West Brom lose and Fulham don't win, then that would be enough for the Bees to be promoted.

Eco Posted July 19, 2020 Author Posted July 19, 2020 Would be quite the shock if Fulham can leap over WBA and Brentford on the last day... Schedule looks like this - BRENTFORD vs Barnsley CARDIFF CITY vs Hull City NOTTINGHAM FOREST vs Stoke City Reading vs SWANSEA CITY WBA vs Queens Park Rangers Wigan Athletic vs FULHAM Will certainly be interesting to see how Barnsley come out after outpaying Leeds and Forest in back-to-back weeks. Also it's worrisome how awful Forest have been performing as of late, and now they are having to at least obtain a draw for assurance into the playoffs, with a win resulting in them finishing in 5th and likely getting Fulham.
Redcanuck Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Everybody drew, so West Brom are up. Not sure who will win the playoff, , Brentford has cooled off a bit and Fulham seem the hotter team right now but dont count out the Welsh.
Redcanuck Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 I thought the scores where final might have jinxed it for somebody

Yeah - glad I spent all that time with the math, when I could have looked at history and realized that odds, and GD didn't matter since it involved the Forest Fires of Nottingham.
Administrator Stan Posted July 23, 2020 Administrator Posted July 23, 2020 You know what's funny, I couldn't really give a shit about Forest all season. Might have thought cos they were comfortable in playoffs it didn't really bother me. Not played them in years so they were just, 'there'. There as a club in the Championship possibly coming up. But I think since @Eco picked them up it's become hilarious how much they've fucked it up. Like, royally fucked it up. . Reason I say that is cos he's great and has taken everything in stride, not rattled and just gone with the ride, given as good as he gets. But yesterday. Oh man. Seeing it play out, goal after goal. Both in Nottingham and in Reading. Great stuff. Anyway, this cracked me up.
