    Not a bad starting lineup to be fair considering all the news about injuries and illness leading up to this. Hamer, Maatsen and Waghorn will surely get some minutes later on. Just hope we can steal a win here.

    Championship 21/22

    Agreed. Huddersfield have played 3 more games than us, WBA have played 2 more games than us and both are just 5 points ahead. If we can somehow beat Boro tomorrow and capitalize on the games in hand, it would really be very interesting. Really time to go on a run now.

    Stoke also should have had a clear penalty that wasn’t given.

    Would be great to get something from this match considering it is against another playoff contender. Was impressed with the win versus Stoke particularly after the team selection. Thought Shipley, Eccles and Bidwell did a decent job and was thrilled for Gyo especially after the miss in the first...

    Hope we win our games in hand, try to get healthy and make a sustained run of mostly wins and draws till the end of the season.

    Agreed. I think the playoffs are going to be difficult to make at the rate we are going. A top 10 finish would be an improvement over last season. Like you I hope Newcastle stay up and perhaps Norwich, Watford and Burnley wouldn’t be as bad to face next season. Don’t want Sunderland to come up...

    Exactly. Teams that win even when they are not at their best are the good teams. We are not there yet and lack a cutting edge and ruthlessness needed to win. We are not playoff material just yet and definitely need investment and reinforcements.

    Going behind

    If Rose wasn't injured I would have played him instead of Hyam as he tends to be a little suspect at times. I felt Moore could have done better for the first goal and our marking for the second was poor. I agree we need a CB, goal-scoring AM and need to get rid of Hillsner, Da Costa as soon as...

    Ratings vs QPR (h)

    We played well, but as has been the case versus QPR this season we create a ton of chances, but need to make it count. Otherwise, you know they will take the few chances they create. They are a very wily team with players that have been around these kind of games to know when to strike. It’s...

    QPR always hit us with sucker punches. It seems as though they play with half the intensity as us while we are play at a frantic/frenetic pace. Yet they score when it matters most and make their chances count even if they are few and far between whereas we are wasteful. So frustrating.

    Sheaf has been excellent this half. Their goal was well taken although we should have defended better and blocked the shot. We should easily have scored a few ourselves and just lack the cutting edge (maybe we miss Godden). Maybe Bidwell may help shore up the left flank where we seem to be...

    Clearly he's not and I was sure he would be gone in Jan. But like Allen, I hope he has turned a corner.

    Shipley actually has a good shot in him unlike O'Hare. Thought his goals against Swansea and Millwall last season were well taken. Obviously O'Hare's work-rate is off the charts and Shipley usually runs out of gas early (although I was pleasantly surprised to see him last the full 90 mins)...

    Would be quite special if Kane and Bidwell score against their former club.

    Very tough match. If we can win this that would make a real statement.

    Would really like for us to bring in an AM, if possible, who can score goals to take the place of Walker who looks to be going out on loan and also add much-needed depth and steel in our midfield. Kelly’s days look numbered and COH is great, but lacks an end product. Allen is decent in a...
