Whilst I do think Rudoni is the better overall player, I often feel O'Hare is misunderstood and unfairly judged on goals and assists. Other than that spell he had last season, he's never been a goalscorer. He was actually one of our most important defensive players, especially before his injury...

Seeing as Ostigard has a Serie A title winners medal and has played Champions League football, I really hope you're right re. Thomas' ceiling! 🤩

Hopefully Plymouth and Luton are already down or safe when we play them and Middlesbrough's season's over so they're all on the beach. End of season games get incredibly easier/harder depending on the context.

The good, old fashioned 'Shall we sing a sing for you', 'do you ever sing a song' or 'you're not singing anymore' are better and louder than football in a library

Yeah, would be a great return. 3 or 4 points would be great from these 3.

Yeah, hope we have a go at them, especially the home ones. I think we'll make the playoffs, but need to prove we can beat this level of team if we're going to get past the semis or beyond

Yeah, the next one is set up to be a draw or worse I feel... But we'll see! I really want to see us beat one of Sunderland, Sheffield United or Burnley. That's the only unanswered question Lampard has left I think - beating a really good team. He's only really had Leeds in the league so far...

Ah, good stats, cheers for that!

Does anyone know if 8 wins from 9 is a record? I know winning 6 on the bounce is a record, but I can't remember us ever returning 24 points from 27... That's prime Man City esque dominance, that

My mistake, it didn't hit the post. It was against Swansea at home and was deflected in off a defender, it was going wide.

Didn't he have a shot from outside the box that hit the post, then the keeper and in, went down as an own goal? He did all of the work for that goal. Would have been his first goal for the club if it wasn't credited to the keeper

For sure, I'm not doubting his ability or potential longevity one bit. Just in terms of his transfer value, his next is almost certainly going to be his largest due to his age. Unless he smashes it so hard at PSG/wherever next season that Madrid, Man City or someone come in with a massive bid...

Unlikely, he's 27 in the summer. He's pretty much at the peak of his value age wise, unless he has one storming season and someone pays silly money at 28.

I only properly remember his last season here when he was class along with Keane, Hadji, Chippo and Palmer. He's clearly a quality player when he has quality around him, but I've heard a few people say he was a waste of money before that season (3 million on a 32 year old, when we didn't have 3...

I'm not trying to discredit Lampard's record, because it is good so far and long may it continue. But last season we did maintain 4 months of 2 points per game, which is an even better ppg record, until the cup run did us over. Frank won't need to average 2 ppg, but hopefully he can keep the...

Agree, we need to focus on our own results, looking at the fixtures and state of the table can be an indication, but sometimes it's impossible to predict a team like Sheff W or Bristol winning 4 games in a row out of nowhere. It's only really when you get to the 'run in' when you can start...

In fairness, in many other seasons, those results would have ended our chances, but as it panned out that season all the other teams kept dropping points too, so we were able to sneak in with a relatively low points total due to our run at the end. If other teams hadn't been in such indifferent...

I think that depends on the fitness of Bidwell to start on the left; can't see us playing Da Silva in a back 4 away from home.

Exactly, I'm not trying to be as negative or anti Lampard as I sound either, just trying to be objective. I do actually think we'll make the playoffs - how is that negative or anti Lampard?! Just not getting carried away that we're now suddenly a brilliant team under him. Yes, we're getting...

I agree. We've gone from having incompetent keepers, to an exceptional one. He's been the difference in keeping our season alive since coming back into the side. If he maintains it until the end of the season I'd be seriously worried about losing him in the summer.
