This result felt like it was coming, much like Hull and Derby games we really struggle to break down low blocks. All these games we had dominant possession but it’s a case of purpose vs possession and having them being so direct it hurts us. Bizarrely im not worried about the Luton game knowing...

I think this will be a tough game to walk away with a win. No doubt we will dominate possession however we struggle with teams that play a low block with quick counters. If we can show a bit of quality in the final third today we will be okay but Plymouth have delivered some notable scalps at...

Bassette will come on as sub and score….. bet your house

If Sheaf hadn’t have been turned like that it would have been okay is what I’m saying. He was only caught by a quick turn of play, positional wise. If Dasilvas deflection went out for a corner we’d be singing praises, unfortunate one. There was actually another very similar occasion first half...

As a LB JDS is in a good starting position, the play was all heading down the right until the ever nifty 38 yr old Ambarrat skipped passed Sheaf to open that left side up. I would say that the player is offside and Hull perhaps lucky to get this one un-flagged. The attempt to block the shot was...

Big 6 pointer this, every game feels a must win at this stage and we notoriously aren't able to get results against West Brom. We're playing good football just need to be killer in that final third. Team wise, I'd play the same starting 11 vs Hull with one change in Allen coming in for Sheaf...

These two can 100% play together! We have struggled with the gap between Defence and Midfield for a long time. Look at the first half of the season how often we'd struggle to get the ball passing between lines and end up lumping it forward, ultimately losing it. We now have a player in Grimes...

Collins - 6 - Pleased for him, not much to do but good for his confidence. Did what was asked of him (bit of a flap when they hit the bar) DaSilva - 7 - had criticism recently but really stepped up, was winning lots (even headers!!!) Thomas - 6.5 - few sloppy pieces here and there but as a...

That looked a horrible injury! Potentially broken ankle?? Don’t like the Sheaf swap either…. Prove us all wrong Sheafo

Need 3 goals tonight to secure it... or at least keep my heart rate down. If Collins is starting I really do hope he has a good game (for his sake as well as ours).

You don't go from breaking the club record for most clean sheets ever in a season 22 in 46 games to being barely a bench warmer without something happening. I'm surprised more people haven't questioned what's gone on there. I think he was given a new contact as a 'good influence/vibe' but with...

Does anybody know what the Keeper situation is with Wilson? Collins has the ability to make a good save, however he is unfortunately mistake burdened (We're not talking the odd mistake its a common thing here). In my opinion his career should be over at Cov - you may think it's harsh but as...

Sunderland are tough, it will be a battle. That said, they've had some shaky results last 10 with draws against teams we have beaten. The good side is Sunderland are terrible at defending crosses into the box, we have been fantastic at getting good delivery and scoring headers. Expect to see a...

A very tough game and we’d need a top performance to get any points. I can’t see a temptation for a 5 with conceding goals recently. Personally I’d stick with 4 switching Bidwell for Binks on Lb. Dasilva against Robert’s would be carnage. I’d rather not see our defence sitting so high and would...

Lampard’s done wonders to get us into this position. Realistically, 70 points should sneak a play off spot. 14 points in 9 games is a big ask but the sort of form a top 6 team should have. Have to be looking at teams like Luton, Plymouth, Portsmouth and Hull as ‘winnable’ games. I can’t see us...

Have to fancy ourselves here - rumours of them missing 10 players through injury + our fantastic form. I know we have doubts on EMC and MVE, I'd be siding to resting them with some bigger games on the horizon (albeit Lati scares me, Wright is class but maybe not match fit for a start) I'd also...

I do agree but think it's a shame. With the run upcoming of Sheff Utd, Sunderland and Burnley all in a row we can be fairly confident they won't get a sniff.

Southgate was one of the most successful England managers? Southgate was able to work with the players and he’s said it himself, works with statistics to ultimately dictate the playstyle, formation etc. The comparison is that Lampard has statistically been one of the best managers in the...

I’d remain the same starting 11. I saw a few comments on Eccles but he played well first half, made a good few challenges in the second. A touch pressed on the ball in the 2nd but did well. Sheaf isn’t match ready and to chuck him in without minutes is risking another setback, keep him rested...

Does anyone else feel like Lamps and Southgate play a very similar style? Very slow and progressive, riding our luck at times, not the sexiest of football but the results speak for themselves. I know Southgate relied a lot on statistics, making decisions that to the fans looked bizarre but gave...
