Within touching distance now. Beat Fulham and it’s almost pretty much done. *touch wood*

This. A huge week coming up starting from this Friday.

Friday - Fulham v Brentford
Saturday - West Brom v Birmingham (12:30)
Sunday - Cardiff v Leeds

Tuesday - Brentford v West Brom
Wednesday - Leeds v Fulham

Saturday - QPR v Fulham (12:30), Leeds v Luton, Sheffield Wednesday v West Brom

Brentford beat Fulham on current form without a doubt for me. Hope for a Birmingham win, but not fussed as the further we get from Fulham, the closer we are. We could be done by tea time Saturday week *prays*

Brentford are a funny team. They seem like a flat track bully side to be honest having watched them more closely for the last few weeks. i reckon it will be a draw with Fulham which would be good result. big opportunity to put it to bed here, 7 points from them will do it i reckon.

At the moment in time I think Brentford are the team to beat in the PO. Hopefully it stays that way too.

Brentford were well out of form until Saturday. Very tough league to call.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Mon Mar 09, 2020 8:16 am  

1 win in 7 or 8? I can see a draw Friday which gives us a free hit sunday.
it's on sky red button by the way

Cheers mate.

Hopefully the club will take note on how recruitment needs to be spot on and not like the scattergun approach that Villa have done.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Tue Mar 10, 2020 6:49 am  

Villa have spent a fortune haven't they.. cant score enough and concede too many. Certain to go back down. Shows how tough the Prem is. Wonder what their billionaire owners are thinking...

They spent a fortune, but they lost Abraham who they haven't managed to replace. That's the problem sometimes, teams go up after having a couple of quality loan players that they don't manage to keep, or they have to buy first before they can strengthen.

We may have a similar problem if we go up, £15m for Costa, £8m for Harrison and £8m for JKA. Ben White will probably cost over £20m at least after the season he's had, so that's at least £50m spent before we bring in one new player.

I’ll be honest and say I doubt we’d manage to keep White with his performances and top clubs watching him. If we do then he performs we could be on the way to a big fee later on for him.
