Yes, I'm not making any excuses for the officials, my point was more in line with the need for it to be restospectively reviewed as the ref obviously didn't see it, even though the point was made earlier in the thread that the ref was looking straight at it.

I don't think he did book him

I would rest whoever needs it. Any of our squad are more than good enough. It's not so much squad selection but complacency that is the danger.

Not necessarily. It's pretty sure he will go, but there is absolutely no benefit in him signing a contract with us before the end of the season even if he is considering staying. He knows he will get better offers at the end of the season, including from us. And he knows we will try our best to...

This is the moment of contact, so although the ref was looking in that direction, there was no way he had a proper view of the contact.

Bong got a 3 game retrospective ban for doing almost the same thing to O'Hare didn't he. The only difference was, he was caught on close-up film.

They still have to play Leicester, Leeds, and Ipswich, as well as playoff chasing teams Middlesboro, Norwich, West Brom, and Sunderland. I can't see them even getting to 40 points.

I certainly don't think this game is any more difficult than Leeds, Sunderland, or even Middlesbrough, all away games we got a result from. I think at least a draw if we don't bottle it and go too defensive.

Yes attitudes and acceptabilities have changed, but it was no less painful for the recipients.

Does anyone remember Clyde Best? Played for West Ham. The poor guy was racially abused every time he touched the ball. And that was at our ground.

I assume there will be a big police presence inside the ground.

I don't know, compared with some of the names kids get given these days Lubits doesn't sound too bad

Will be interesting to revisit this thread in 3 games time. I'm still going for 11 because I think there will be at least 1 unexpectedly bad result. That's football. But 12+ is realistic now.

Yes, once in the last 10 years 83 was enough, but usually it's around 90 or just over. And with such a group of strong teams this season vying for 2nd I doubt even that will be enough.

As Arnie said in Terminator 3, 'She'll be back' Just have to wait for the first bad result

Took 7 points from our last 4 away though, with a high opponents ppg. 4th in the form table for last 4 away. So positive signs there.

Yes, I think Southampton, Leeds, and possibly Ipswich are bankers, with one of those taking the second auto spot.

Interestingly, at the same point last year (game 27) only one team in the top 6 (outside the top 2) made the playoffs

We threw the game away against Ipswich, Southampton, Leeds, Leicester, Sunderland, Middlesborough couldn't beat us. Pretty convincing evidence

But if we win the next 2 (Sheff W & Bristol C) we could be 5th. Why do people always think negative?
