Tougher fixtures

Sheffield Utd have tougher.

Hard to call who has tougher.

We've got Sheff Wed which is always a big game and Villa who are on a great run. We have been poor away at Brentford last 2 years.

Sheff Utd have Millwall who are looking difficult to beat recently and away at Hull. I'd rather go to Ipswich needing a result than Stoke too.

Hard to choose.

We were 6-4 and Sheff 1-3 before Tuesday

Villa will be resting players for Leeds game

Villa will probably rest more players for their last match.
You can’t give players 2 or 3 weeks off before the play offs. It’s possible they might rest 1 or 2 but too early for a reserve team for example.
Brentford away is a very tough fixture.

If LIW is right about sheffu having harder fixtures we are guaranteed promotion.
Unfortunately I think we have the harder fixtures.

The most stupid comment I’ve ever read

Don't see Villa resting players. They might take it a little bit easier but that's not a given.

I'm confident we can put away Sheff Wed and Wigan at home. I'm hoping that Sheff Utd drop points against Millwall and Forest because that will give us a bit of breathing room in the last 4 games.

3 games that is

Brentford season ended.

Not has hard has it would have been.

Depends if Villa have a chance of finishing above West Brom as well. You'd prefer the home leg 2nd.

Or it might be a case they are fighting to finish 5th rather than 6th for an easier tie.

On paper Brentford isn't a tough game particularly. I just remember it as the place we started to collapse in Monks season

4 Brentford 21 12 4 5 45 23 22 40

Brentford in the home league table up to 4th with a 22 goal difference which is the best in the league currently, although they've played 1 more than some teams.

We have beaten Norwich away (1st) Sheff U away (2nd), Hull away (5th), drew with Swansea (6th) and beat Derby (7th) so clearly capable.

We didn't look too spectacular against them at Elland Road either.

I wish we had millwall forest and Ipswich at home instead of sheff wed Wigan and villa.
As for Brentford away it’s a tough one

We have to win all our games then! Simple!!!! It’s about time we put together a run again.

blunts run in is easier than ours

Honestly never seen anything like it.

We all play EXACTLY the same games as each other. The squad & Bielsa will not be looking at who has 'the easier run in'

Other teams forms go up and down and there's loads of factors.

We have 3 home hame FFS.

We will go up AUTO'S

We play Villa whilst they play Ipswich. That could quite easily be the 2 point switch they need. We kinda need to be 4 points in front (3 if we sort our goal difference out) when we play Villa i feel.

Too much analyzing going on, we have no idea where us or Sheff Utd will be come the Villa game.

villa could be sorted for play off place by time they play us

resting grealish would be nice

Lots of if's, but's and maybe's going on ........

3 points against Wednesday please.

My only concern despite what is mentioned about is Brentford away. We do not play well in London.

If you offered me 5 games left - 3 home games, 2 away games (one of which against the bottom team) I would have took it.

Its impossible to judge between us and Shef United. What is easy for one team is hard for another (ie Millwall).

Exactly!

Take each game as it comes, win the lot (or at least do as well as Blunts) and we get auto promo.

Simples.
