I've said exactly the same myself. They've been scraping results. A bit more difficult as it is at their place. Saw the same thing with Sunderland. 3-0 didn't do us justice.
Certainly a good time to play them.
Can you soften up Burnley for us please 😂
Norwich v WBA next. They know if they don't win this their season is more or less finished. Could do us a massive favour. Wouldn't be unhappy with a draw.
Why are the bookies offering big odds for the clubs Blackburn and below to make the playoffs?
We're 7 points and a better GD minimum above these teams with 8 games to go. So they need to average a point a game more than ourselves. Each time we win they need to win just to go a point behind the...
It does. But there wasn't an immediate change when he took over. He had to get through to the players what he wanted from them first and also had to learn about the players.
He hadn't even see Wright play before until recently.
The stats were there. We kept missing chances and letting soft goals in. Below Middlesbrough are the sides that were well above us and now we've built a gap between us because of their poor form. There's nothing to suggest they will turn it around. And even if they do it isn't in their hands.
I know it was only Sunderland. But 2 very well taken goals and both won the penalty and scored it with confidence. Left foot thunderbolt from 25 yards and a lovely dink over the GK. Now his confidence levels are flying I wouldn't bet against another hat-trick before the end of the season.
Our aim is to get as many points as we can. If we finish in 5th....or even 4th...we have an easier route to Wembley. But even coming 6th doesn't tell us who we would get.
I'm starting to fancy our chances against Sheffield United. It would be excellent if we could get a result against them...
And Wright playing in the middle when many thought he couldn't. Scored 3 making 1 himself.
I liked his interview when he watched his own goals where he had a dig at those calling his left foot his weaker one.
It isn't relying on anyone else. It's being realistic. Away at Sheffield United won't be easy but I think we will get some kind of result. Bristol go to Burnley. Then Burnley come to ours. Burnley have lost 2 out of 38. Think we have a good chance of a point. But it won't be easy.
Bristol City have Burnley away. Burnley have only lost 2 league games all season. We're 2 points ahead of them. Good chance a draw in each would keep us in the top 6. Maybe even just a single point.
Lampard will play the side he sees as best for our opponents. It's a squad game. If we need speed he will put our quickest players in. If we need height he will put our biggest players in. The players will understand this.
