There is an old saying, the league table doesn't lie. I don't like that saying much but there is some truth in it most of the time. You are always going to get results you don't expect, losses and wins, but over 46 games I will be very surprised if we don't do well next season. (injuries etc...

This is the big positive to take from this

Personally I would add a left back to that (not convinced about JD), and possibly see how Tavares develops over the next few months, as he could possibly cover RW 2nd choice, and ST 2nd/3rd choice IF he continues to improve as he has done.

The Wolves result might have been considered a freak result by some neutrals, but add yesterday's performance in, and there is no doubt now that this team can compete with the best with just a few carefully chosen signings. We are much better playing against skillful players and can struggle...

To be honest I thought the same as you until I read SBTs other posts about it. Ironic humour?

Fuck var. But you have to take the positives. Wiped the smug smile off Roy Keane's face. Ian Wright seemed genuinely upset we didn't win. That's 2 top half premier league teams we have embarrased. We will be stronger next year. Just brilliant 2nd half performance.

Need some good scores as well to bring West Brom into it

I think we need to wait and see. DK came in during January 2023, 15/16 months ago. That's 3 transfer windows. January windows are notoriously difficult to do any decent business, and as said, last summer was beyond our dreams, due to the 2 sales.

But to count as a goal the ball has to go between the posts. So 1 for them at the moment

surprisingly we are 3rd, 1 point behind

People have been saying they think Vik would have stayed if we had been promoted. Not according to that he wouldn't

No wonder DK played hardball

He's scored a total of 4 goals for us in 55 games. The only one of the 7 clubs he has played for, where he scored more than 4 was Bristol City, if you include his loan spell. He scored 6 in total for them over 3 seasons (69 games). So he has never been a prolific scorer.

Yes, looking at their fixtures, some of those are lose-able.

Even if we go into the last game 3 points behind but with a competitive goal difference we have a chance, and it will avoid the end of season nothing-to-play-for syndrome. I think we will take 11 points from our remaining games. That will put us on 74. We will definitely need to beat Hull in...

2 points is a joke, as in Everton's case. It's literally the difference between winning and drawing their next game. Serious breaches should be punished with relegation.

I could see Sakamoto easily getting into double figures next year if he recovers fully.

I think Simms & Wright will be here for at least another year, then who knows. And anyway Doug will play hardball with any sale price.

And at least one of the "strong 4" this season will still be in the Championship next year
