Boro nailed on 6 points next 2 games, Wednesday and Norwich can't buy a win between them.
We'll need 4 points from these 2 away games to stay in the top 6 going into the last game imo.
I've given Sheaf some (deseeved) stick this season, but he was excellent yesterday, his best game of the season. Hopefully he's back to his normal level just when we need it.
I agree about whether or not we'd be happy with a draw - It does feel like a must win today, and I think we will, a draw doesn't do us any favours at all. We have to assume Boro will beat Plymouth, I fancy Bristol to get something from their game too.
The next 2 games are both away to a team...
Yeah, this really.
If Wilson still can't get a game now then what's the point of him being here and signing a new contract.
Don't buy the whole thing about not being fit, he's on the bench FFS. What happens if Collins gets injured or sent off after 20 minutes? Then he'll have to come on...
That's just the problem though, they won't struggle, they will at worst still be in the top 6 and make the play-offs.
The gulf between the 2 leagues is colossal and getting bigger every year.
Had us down to lose last night, so in isolation not a disaster, but losing Dovin is, he's head and shoulders better than the other keepers.
His absence costs us points, no question IMO, the knock on effect to the confidence in the rest of the defence could be pivotol.
I'd still have Wilson...
Shit, gutted for him, but it was his own doing, should've just cleared it instead of trying to be clever.
I also can't work out why Wilson signs a new contract but still can't get on.
I think we'll lose this one (hopefully i'm wrong), but I don't think we'll lose any of the other 7 games left afterwards.
No question (on paper at least) this is the hardest game we have left to play.
