I’m sure many people felt the same back in 22/23 when we drew to Wigan away. There’s this odd duality of having the most difficult games against relegation contenders and if we don’t win, lacking what it takes to be a playoff team. There’s also little evidence that WBA and Boro have the...

The same could be said for Boro and WBA. The latter have just lost 2 on the bounce and WBA hadn’t won in 5 games before Saturday. Even have tough games to come up. WBA are not the same beast under Mowbray and Boro are a team of good individuals but the collective is muddled at times. Hence why...

Thomas being out injured would be the biggest blow. EMC too but at least we can shuffle the pack in the forward line. We’re down to standing wounded in central midfield but there should still be sufficient cover, hopefully.

Not necessarily. This is a massive oversimplification ofc, but the story of our season is scoring the first goal in matches (and stoppage time winners). Conceding first against Sheff U away early on was going to make the game insurmountable so I wouldn’t read too much into to it. I’d prefer...

I’m going to Hull but if anyone needs a spare, drop me a message!

Agreed, if we win tomorrow it does us a huge favour because it means we can afford to lose to WBA even if it’s not ideal. With how Sheff U are stuttering atm, I wouldn’t be scared of playing them at home in the first leg.

The only teams that can actually finish on 73 point is ourselves and Bristol. Boro and WBA have to beat us to get to 72 points. Bristol are also not great away so unless they win both home games v Sunderland and PNE, they struggle to reach 70 points. They have Leeds and Luton away so Bristol...

In fairness, it was Burnley he had 2 shockers against.

I expected a comment after the result! 😂 Fair play to Plymouth, but they won’t win many games having 30% possession, 3 shots on target and an xG of 0.7. Sheff U have been outperforming the data metrics for a long while now and it seems to have caught up them, particularly in away games. Just...

As well as a stuttering WBA and a game v Boro on the final day. It’s well within our control and if we don’t make it, the season can be considered a failure. Not a failure in Lampard’s part personally because what he’s inherited, just as a whole. Which, to be fair, many of us considered the...

The idea that Plymouth, Luton and Hull will turn into prime Real Madrid is a bit silly. 3 teams need to get relegated and it’s usually the teams that aren’t good enough. All 3 of those teams have pretty bad home records and whilst Luton are getting positive results, they’ve been draws and have...

Attention seekers… 🙄

Are you forgetting that Simms scored goals in our winning streak before Haji came back? He's still our 2nd top scorer alongside Rudoni. Haji is our best player and since his return, Sakamoto hit some great form, EMC scored v Oxford and Simms lost his place after Derby. It is a bit of a cliche...

Is anyone after a ticket for this? My mate is no longer using his ticket so if anyone is in need… let me know!

71 points should be enough. Bristol are currently outperforming the data metrics so if things even out, they’ll drop points. It’s their home form that’s really impressive so hopefully Sunderland give them a kicking on Good Friday. 4 points from Hull and WBA works for us either way. We’ve only...

Usual suspects? 😂

Great assist. How often does he put balls of that quality with his right foot in the 66 games he’s played for us? It’s not an unfair characterisation to say he’s the most one footed player in our starting lineup (forwards; Wright, EMC and Rudoni).

Don’t get me wrong, draws against Leeds and Boro are impressive but they’ve also drew against Plymouth in the stretch. They’re not winning enough games right now and it will probably dawn on them sooner rather than later. We’ve played the inform relegating battlers in Derby and they turned us over.

Why? They’re drawing games but only winning against the teams around them. The 3 games prior to that was two losses and a draw. A draw probably won’t help them out by the time they play us. They have Blackburn, Derby, Bristol before playing us and end the season playing WBA away.

Correct. Luton and Plymouth are 20th and 21st respectively in the ‘home’ table. Plymouth are as good as gone; they have Sheff U, Boro, us, PNE and Leeds. I’m hoping we relegate them and they get a surprise result v Boro.
