The fact that Cardiff gave us the run around shows the difference in the teams at the moment, and us not scoring means the only option is to stop the others so we scrounge a point
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] Where can we get another point from?

Don't you think the Wolves game showed a change in the team?
Hughton will not doubt stick to his Wolves approach for the rest of the season; we could get another 0-0 from any game with a bit of luck.

I don't know whether that was a flash in the pan or we have been reborn. We didn't try to win we'll see tonight
And Cardiff are crap. They will not get the 4 points they need to overtake us.

Not sure it is quite that clear cut.
A point tonight would make the job a lot tougher for them.

I agree, we didn't try and win. We have to do that for at-least the Tottenham and Arsenal games and maybe even the Newcastle game.

This is key... A win and a draw from them is not inconceivable given they have Palace and Fulham left. Two wins is such a massive stretch though.
We needed one point to move from unlikely to stay up to possibly stay up, another point gets us to probably and a win would move us to definitely. Of course 4 points gets us to a point of mathematical assurance (barring the greatest come back in footballing history, past present or future).
One game at a time. Fuel up the team bus because we need to drive it to NWHL and park it right in front of the Albion goal. UTA

This stage of the season always throws up surprises so who knows? The team that shows the biggest cojones is likely to be the one to survive, although Cardiff’s would have to be considerably bigger at this stage. They will have at least 4 to make up, even after tonight’s game, as long as we don’t get a few thrashings on the way, which would reduce it to 3 perhaps.

Agree with this except, pedantically, they would need a minimum of a win and 2 draws if we get a point tonight.. but that is still a big ask.

The only games Spurs have lost at home (well Wembley) are against Liverpool, Wolves, Man C and Man Utd. They drew against Watford, who scored twice, and Arsenal. So they are quite good, we will have to have some miracles, start praying

The difference is that now, after saturday's effort, I can see us keeping at least 1 more clean sheet this season, possibly 2 and that could well be enough

Yet another Palace fan masquerading as BHA starts a thread, time for action!

Bookies are rarely wrong and we are massive favorites to stay up. We have Newcastle at home and its up to us to make the most of that. If we beat them and Cardiff still get the points then fair play, we deserve to go down for the performance v Cardiff at home. It's still in our hands but should've been done and dusted by now and we only have ourselves to blame for that....

TBH, I think 2 wins is more likely than a win and 2 draws for them.

I think you'll find around 80% are taking no responsibility and putting the blame squarely on Chris. (and the other 20% probably feel Barber has some blame somewhere... #BarberOut)

strong and stable with me, or...
Got to hope, with the Champions League semi final next week, bit of a London derby with West Ham on Saturday, is that if there is one game they will take lightly and perhaps feel they only need to turn up, it will be this one. With Kane out, they have to manage their squad, and there are times they don't click and it doesn't happen for them. Fingers crossed.

Why is everyone writing off the place game? We know they can play extremely good football, like at city and arsenal, but then again they can play dreadfully, like against us twice.
I think Cardiff will roll them over, get a draw at Fulham and lose to manu. That gives them 4 points.
I think we will get nothing at Spurs and arsenal, draw against Newcastle and if city need to win to become champions, they will dick us badly.
So we escape by goal difference.

I wondered where you had got to, bit slow!
I'm just preparing to announce my quarterly findings! We're frickin' overrun on here, absolutely ridiculous. Thread incoming.
