Lampard said after the game they'd hopefully both be back.

Did he, I didn't hear him say that, he was very coy as he normally is

It will be a very wobbly month if the referees allow goalkeepers to scope the ball up outside the box whenever we are on the attack.

He got a yellow?

 

[pusbccfc]

He got a yellow?

Which basically allows him to do it.

Yeah this is how I interpreted it

 

[jto123]

This month showing our limits now

 

[pusbccfc]

Was always going to happen. Players playing too many minutes and looking knackered.

Preston threw on half a team and it paid off.

Will happen in the next 6 games.

Doug paying the price for squad depth?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

We'll be at least second by the of the month.

Maybe but Lampard still has legs on the bench.

You don't need world heaters to come on sometimes but you need to have fresh legs on.

Maybe just need to accept the comfy ride is over. This is Cov after all.

 

[Covkid1968#]

Limp to January and see what happens in the window. We should still be top

I’m not that confident of that

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I think we will be 6th

 

[long way home]

We took 10 points from that block of 5. So id of took that from those 5.

Onto to the next 5 and lets see what that brings

When we're only ten points clear of third place

Need 9 from these next 5 to be on track for 88

When we're only ten points clear of third place

With the fixtures coming up and injuries that will slip away quickly

 

[Ccfcisparks]

With the fixtures coming up and injuries that will slip away quickly

if we can get 9 from 5 and get to January i think we will be ok

SHFWF*

*1st place

 

[Ccfcisparks]

*1st place

Opta have us 80% likely to win the title still. it’s all in our hands

 

[jto123]

SHFWF*

*1st place

I’m afraid I don’t know what this means

 

[Cally Fedora]

We’re still 10 points off third. No panic. No wobble - we just didn’t take our chances. We’ll put that right.

 

[Macca]

As a long standing city fan used to disappointment I take great comfort that unless we have bottom 6 form for the whole of the rest of the season we will at the very least have some play off action this season

I think it’s the long term city fan in me that has me accepting we’re bound to mess this up

I struggle to see us maintaining top 2 unless Doug goes wild in the aisles. Even me though can't see us messing up so bad that we finish less than 6th

 

[long way home]

Its clear FL needs help and bringing in a few quality signings will happen. i dont see panic or worry just frustration that things have not gone our way over the last 2 games. But thats football, we shouldn't search for a formula, just go back to what got us winning games.

Stay solid, stay together and keep creating chances and the goals and points will come soon enough.

Clean sheets would be nice too.

Was always going to be the case, so many of us had earmarked this run as the trickiest of the season so the fact we’re slowing down a bit shouldn’t be a surprise. 4 from our next 3 sees us at 48 at the half way stage, which is still on pace to win the league.

3 of our next 4 are at home. Its quite possible we could get 7-8 points minimum from the next set of games

 

[MikeyMoo]

If we can win the next two home games we’ll have 50 points at the halfway mark. That’s a realistic target and a brilliant result. Anything away vs Southampton a bonus, would happily take a draw. We really don’t need to be as good in the second half.

I think we underestimate how big a factor confidence plays in football. Just look at Liverpool this year. Important to get a result against Bristol City to cast away any doubt.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

We've only played 9 home games, 14 still to play.
Some others have played 10 or 11.
Our great start has put us in a fantastic position.
If we can keep our home form strong we'll be fine for the autos.
