Agreed. I’ve said it all along.

So have I. They outclassed us at our place. Only team to do so this season.

Best team in the league for me from the games i've seen.
They've got two huge games that will decide it, Leicester away and Leeds away last game of the season. If they pipped either of those two to an automatic slot can you imagine how deflated Leicester or Leeds could be going into the play offs.

I don't fear Leeds,Ipswich or (likely) Norwich at all.

I think I'd want to avoid Saints and Leicester.

Leicester have the best squad on paper for me but can be got at in defence..

Ideally Leicester and saints get top 2. Knowing our luck we will finish 6th and end up playing soutbampton...

outclassed is a bit much, we gave them too much respect and if we had been awarded that nailed on pen then totally a different game, plus we were the better side at their place second half

The overreacting to Soton is hilarious they aren't prime Pep Barca you know! Defensively they are the worst of the 4, stay in the game you'll always get a chance

I know they are not. But, and I get no pleasure from saying this, they are a better team than we are.

All of the top 4 are better teams than us. We'll have to play one of them  ;D

This is undoubtedly true, the same could be said of Ipswich too. The issue is that they also score a lot of goals.

I'd also like to avoid Southampton, on par with the best team in the league but what sets them apart (for me) is 2 goalscorers in form. Armstrong averaging 1 goal in 2 and Adams 1 in 3 (almost 1 in 2).

If we can avoid them completely great, if we can avoid them  until the final that's okay, over 2 games not so confident.

Let's be honest, if anyone outside the top 4 sneaks through the playoffs it would be a bit of a travesty, but that shouldn't stop us going for it if we can!

Hull who are still in it, miss a penalty at Watford.

Norwich and Hull draw
Watched most of Watford-Hull. Watford keeper Bachmann put in top performance.

Good keeper ain't he? Remember he was in fine form against us last year and this year at their place

But yes a double draw absolutely take that and told ya'll Soton are nothing to fear can't beat a bunch of kids apparently

I don't know what you told us all, but what a can tell you is they beat us twice, and imo were the best and side to come to the Hawthorns this season.

I hate Martin, but if we make the po I would love to avoid them.

Without doubt the best team I’ve seen at our place this season
