Ahead of Esse? BTA to get increased minutes from the bench but I’d probably look to keep the same team, perhaps Torp at CM and Eccles at AM.

Alex Neil had this to say about last nights game, a bit of Malcom Tucker-esque spin on the game! Objectively, at 0-0 and 1-1, we had the better of the chances and Esse was unlucky not to score a 2nd. Credit to Millwall, they gave us problems and had a big chance themselves at 1-1 but overall...

That's harsh, he played better last night than v Leicester imo. His passing % was down but I put that down more to the nature of the game being a lot more frenetic and there was a lot of broken play.

That was the case earlier in the season too, Simms has scored two goals that were 1.94 xG combined. Same with BTA v Sheff U and Haji v Sheff W. During December, the narrative was ‘we’ve dropped off, xG is down’ and when it recovers we put an asterisk on it. Last night we had 4 big chances and...

The goals are coming back, our xG is moving back in the direction we want it. We’ve hit 2+ xG in back to back games. 2/6 big chances converted too, so we could’ve really put Millwall to the sword today.

WBA have been better than us more or less every season since I’ve been going to games. The only exceptions being 22/23 and 24/25 and the game you’ve just mentioned. Forget the hoodoo, we just need to go there and batter them.

Fuck me, I’ve just seen that WBA had a higher xG than Norwich, who only had 0.83 xG! It’s a repeat of when we beat QPR 7-1 on 1.27 xG!

Boro need to play Ipswich and ourselves away from home. They could be near perfect for the rest of the season but if they lose both those games, I don’t think there’s way they finish in the Top 2.

I fancy 3 points at the Hawthorns this season!

In defence of Lampard, luck didn’t go our way in either match. I thought we edged the 1st half before the goal away from home, and the 2nd was us playing catch up and being punished. At home, their first goal took a fortunate deflection and we had a stonewall penalty turned down That said...

At this rate, @suffolkblue probably wants to play us every week. Head to head, they’ve got the beating of us but think we’ve got this over the rest of the season. I don’t back Boro to out point either ourselves nor Ipswich.

This month I fully expect Ipswich to close the gap because they have only 1-2 away games. It’s Feb where I expect them to drop off a bit because their away form is much weaker than their home record. Hoping Robins does us a favour tomorrow, my gut feeling for most of the season was that it’d be...

Any player who’s been at AFCON won’t be finalising a move straight away. It’s no different to post-Euros and World Cup.

I struggle to believe that any player like to start for either team would opt for Birmingham over us. We’re odds on to go up and Birmingham will almost definitely be in the championship next season.

That’s a subjective opinion. I highly doubt that Lampard opted to start Torp ahead of Eccles if he wasn’t match fit/sharp. Eccles was our MOTM v Stoke and scored v Birmingham so that point just doesn’t make sense and would be quite irresponsible of Lampard. Lampard came out and said himself...
