Was at Albion when they scored 7.
Tough times. Hence until we achieve auto promotion I'll never believe it is done.

If that's the game I'm thinking of, in 1977, a client took me to see Man City thrash Chelsea (with a young Ray Wilkins in midfield) that same afternoon which left me in good spirits until I saw our result at Everton. Long miserable drive home from Manchester that day.

I'd of took a point yesterday, I said this before the game

Yeah same, and we did more than enough to deserve one imo.

Maybe, but it would be good if the three below took points off each other.
Ipswich, Millwall and Boro all play each other, so there would be advantage to be found if say Millwall beat Ipswich, but then lost to Boro, who then lost to Ipswich.
Them all taking points off each other would be our gain

If they all draw with each other it means they can all only gain a point or two if we slip up, as opposed to one team gaining three.

Ipswich are at home. They will win.

They have failed to beat PNE and Lesta at home, it’s not an impenetrable fortress despite our best efforts to make it look like one.

They generally do at home, 2.21 PPG, it's their away form thats let them down, and I don't expect that to improve much.

Exactly.
People keep taking about gimmes and certainties for victories, especially where Middlesbrough and Ipswich are concerned, yet they both keep dropping points.
Consistently.

I mean I'm pretty sure Rushworth is leading our MOTM table and is most people's POTS!
But agreed there are some salty fans about. We have been the best this year bar a blip that was due to injury and illness for the most part.
Does my head in this talk of it being a particularly weak league this year, I don't buy it. Yes the parachute clubs have not done well but I actually think the level of the other teams has risen. The teams that came up from League 1 have all been competing. Only real shit shows are there because of mismanagement. The unfancied teams like Pompey, Charlton and Oxford are tricky opposition nowadays.

You know what I mean: if we were shite then their keeper wouldn’t be MOTM.

Yeah, having a decent keeper is part of being a good team.
But that game was very even yesterday and we weren't really firing on all cylinders.

So two teams? We have lost to two teams too?
Genuine question I dunno who they have lost too at home this season

I love these things.
I remember one, I think it may have even been Mowbray when at Sunderland after we beat them; he commented they'd have won if they'd have had our match winners.
Yes, Tony. If the best players in the game had have swapped sides, it would have been different.

We're hopeful of that as it would stand us in great stead.
Even if Ipswich win their game in hand and beat Millwall (which would be potentially the worst outcome of those 2 games for us) we would be 2 points clear of them with 6 other games to play, one of which is Sheff Wed still. Millwall would then be 8 points behind us for those remaining 6 games to make up as well with an inferior GD.

Very even? They only had 8 shots with 3 on target. Our GK only made 1 save. Their GK was very good. How was that very even?

@Shannerz DJT's "very complete" war with Iran can be added to the list, but there's nothing remotely funny about that.

Was that the night game with Debec in goal?

Definitely a night game. Joachim scored for us.
Another game passes and yet more frustration.
The issue isnt the low block, we are managing it fine and creating lots of chances. The issue is the dreadful finishing that is costing us. I am grateful for an away game, we seem much more likely to win away from home. Another early kick off, a huger following and another tough game. Blackburn will be full of confidence so it will be another tough game as they all will be.
Could do with a Millwall/Ipswich draw.
Then a short break to regain some sanity before the run in starts.

I watched the highlights last night and couldn't get my head around how Strelec didn't score his one v one. If you weren't creating the chances though I'd be a lot more concerned, but you're making them in abundance.
Eventually you'll make sitters so easy to score even Conway will finish them.

I think I must just see things differently from you
football isn't always about the shots and possession, evenly organised and both teams had quality players that can hurt the other team. I thought Saints did a number on us, had a game plan to win the midfield and disrupt us. They did what they set out to do. We were rightly praised when we switched it up to beat Boro. Only fair to acknowledge when that happens to us.Even without their keeper having a worldie we missed a bunch of massive chances but for me that lowers our levels, we had more players off form it today yet we still probably should have won. Crucially they took theirs. Move on no drama here just one of those games.

The second part of this post contradicts the first I think. A team can't both 'do a number' on another one while the other forces the keeper into multiple top class saves and misses a bunch of massive chances.I think I must just see things differently from you

Do a number = get away with 2 or 3 red card challenges.

Just about all the stats were in our favour except for goals scored. Yes they did a number on us by trying to get our players sent off and kept going into our players with studs showing. They got the luck in front of goal.I think I must just see things differently from you
