Maybe the way to go is stodge the game for two 0-0s and practice the life out of our pens.

I really want Burnley to finish second cos I think we can take any of the PO teams in that case. Need Agent Hamer to do us a favour. I dread playing Burnely in a knock out game. Their loss record this season is ridiculous.

Think West Brom are more likely to stick than a managerless Blackburn. PO semi against Burnley is the stuff of nightmares tho. Both from a result and entertainment perspective.

Games against Sunderland and Sheff Utd are usually pretty close. I wouldn’t expect us to beat Leeds or Burnley so much (though prior to this season we’ve done OK against Leeds but more by luck than skill), but those teams I’d give us a chance against is we set up well and have a good game. It’s...

I much prefer not to expect wins and get them than the other way around. Did me well enough in 22/23.

I mean West Brom, Boro, Sunderland, Sheff Utd. Teams I’d put at around our level. I’m not sure the likes of QPR and Sheff Wed are actual play off contenders so much. The sort of clubs that are top ten every season basically. I know you want to turn this into internet points and I’m sure you’ll...

Form since the new year has been insane, find it hard to believe we can keep it going but we keep avoiding banana skins and getting results. Win two of the next three and I’ll believe I think. Still got questions about whether we can win those six pointer games and definitely the play offs, but...

PNE down with Stoke for home form. Derby even worse. Gonna be some huge home games.

Yeah you can tell he’s quality. Some of the little first time passes are excellent. Would be even better if his fellow midfielders showed for it occasionally.

Have you ever read a post properly? 🙈 indeed. Probably best if you 🙊

Only away team left with a better home record than us. If we make it it’ll be down to home performances I reckon.

Well in that case Latibeaudiere is still the best defender today :P

Not since Gyokeres left IMO. Simms has many talents but without someone who can hold the ball up that end and a midfield willing to join him it just ends up backs to the wall like today. TBH since L1 I’m not a fan of it at all.

I think the way we set up doesn’t help them or Grimes. The gap to the forwards was a joke at times today and why I didn’t agree with taking a striker off, it just left us lumping it in Simms general direction then setting up the other 9 outfield players on the edge of our box waiting for Bannan...

1 in 3 passes astray or 1 in 4 is more than just hitting long balls. Though the long ball stats are even worse. Thomas 20% and Kitching 9%, compared to Dovin 50% and Lats 57%

Im not allowed to mention it but Kitching’s pass completion was 65% today and Thomas’ 71%. We need much better from them really or he needs to come a lot shorter to make the pass easy for them.

Both a couple of weeks away I think. Wright back on the grass but Lampard said a couple of weeks before he’s able to consider him. I think Sheaf was targeting Oxford but could be wrong there.

One thing I think is we’ll see a lot better from him when we’re playing wingers. No one in that team makes the runs that you see Grimes picking out in his highlight vids. Thought it was noticeable that the first effective forward ball he played was to EMC.

Oxford are 8th in the home league. Sheff Wed are 19th.

I noticed him taking positions today the CBs couldn’t/wouldnt get to him, I assume at Swansea they could but ours either don’t think they can make the pass or aren’t used to having a midfielder happy to take it under pressure.
