Consistent with previous posts, he doesn't like Wright

That's why he's there

I don't think we will lose to Southampton

We are not the only team to lose a bit of form as some of today's results show. It's due to playing 3 games in a week in a large part. We put a lot of effort into the Preston game, and who knows what effect the bug has had.

It's possible we could score more points in the second half of the season than in this first half. Of the current top 6 we only play Hull away, further down the table, the teams that could be dangerous (Southampton, Stoke, Leicester, Wrexham) we play at home. Of the teams likely to be in...

Stoke have lost 5 of the last 6, they need to try something. They need to pick up otherwise MR may be in danger of the sack.

We have conceded 15 in 11 away games, and 9 of those were conceded in 3 games, Derby, Wrexham, and Ipswich. in the other 8 games we have conceded 6 if my maths is correct. Derby was very early in the season and probably before we had settled, Wrexham was against our reserve defence, and Ipswich ...

I'm a bit the same, sort of dreading match days but enjoying it as well. Our form has dropped a bit only due to the difficulty of our fixtures, most of them away, and illness/ injuries. I take some reassurance from our final 8 fixtures, no games are easy but we have a very favourable run in. As...

Just looking at the last 6 games form table. We are equal 3rd with Boro and QPR on 13 points, but we have had the 3rd hardest run based on opponent's ppg. (1.58). Only Wrexham with opponent's ppg of 1.65 and Charlton at 1.62 have had a more difficult set of fixtures in this run, and Charlton's...

Great players for us those two, but I do think people are being unfair on Haji for that chance, even the Sky commentators. Take a look at the highlights again, Haji has his back to goal, the ball bounces between him and the goal (probably wind assisted) he has to turn and dive at it. Watch their...

Interesting that in the last 14 years only 2 teams have reached 50 points at 23 games, and only 2 teams scoring below 45 have reached 90 points. So no team scoring below 42 points at the half way stage has reached 90. Looking at the table, below the top 2, only Millwall, Ipswich, and Stoke can...

We have already had our Manager Of The Month slump in the last 2 games, we are good to go again now. Really good anticipation by FL and the team.

Back at the start of November getting to 50 points by the end of 2025 was seen by most posters as ambitious at the least. 4 games to go, 3 at home, 6 points required. It's still very possible.

The stats don't suggest we were knackered. Possibly 1 or 2 players suffering after effects or minor symptoms of the bug.

I would stick with Wright up front, even though he has hit a spell of not scoring he carved the defence open several times last night and would probably have scored 2 if he wasn't fouled. One where their player was sent off, and the header when he was flattened by their no. 14. The one he put in...

Last night's game should have been a clean sheet if we hadn't got complacent and thought the game was won, with a back 3 in the first half we looked solid but that's not our normal game plan, which is to score more goals than the opposition, simple as that.

I deliberately didn't say it should have been as penalty, although I've seen them given for a push in the box. But my post was responding to a poster saying if only he could head a ball, not as easy as it looked when being flattened from behind. Edit: the Sky highlights give a better view of it...

Haji was pushed in the back by their no.14 for the headed chance he missed.

Yes, midweek is difficult for them as well, with Millwall V Derby, Stoke V Ipswich, Bristol V Leicester, but Preston has the most difficult game.

Yes
