Perhaps "important" may be a more apt word, but in any case what I was going for here is that it's getting to a point where some teams like Boro are starting to fall away. I think Sheff Wed's loss today and against us will also be a psychological blow for them. By the same token I think beating...
Boro's next matches are against Stoke (managed by Mark Robins) and Derby (managed by John Eustace). Was listening to a Boro vlogger who thinks they'll lose the next 2 games as Carrick can't seem to beat teams managed by those 2.
The Sheff Utd team minus Hamer and with COH is still really weak. They were battered 3-0 by Hull and should have lost to Luton, but instead nicked an undeserved win. Hamer is so important to that team. Without him, anyone can take them down.
Would be a massive confidence/psychological boost for us if we can beat Burnley and Sunderland at home in the coming weeks. Plus it would help us cement a place in the playoffs.
Wish we'd shown a little less respect and a bit more bravery and guile against Leeds. It was the same vs Man Utd last season. Once we we got over the mental block and said "well fuck it and let's go for it" we got level. Shame they stole it from us.
Still recall last season’s 3-0 defeat which pretty much ended any faint playoff hopes. Heckingbottom has them playing well atm. They beat Norwich away and drew with Burnley. Will be a very tough match. Think we should pack the midfield to avoid getting overrun and go 1 up top. Please no DaSilva...
