They still have a game in hand but I can't see them finishing in the top 6. Too inconsistent. Beat a decent side one game then fail to beat a lesser side the next. Wouldn't surprise me if they finish mid table or even in the bottom half.

How about mentioning how well the GK's have done against us. The QPR GK kept them in the game. We're going to have shots against us. That's the nature of the game. I trust Lampard to put out the best side possible depending on who we are playing and who we have fit.

Tactically poor? He got a losing side to start winning games by sorting out the defence. Reliant on an outstanding performer? You mean players like Wright and EMC that Robins had but got injured so Lampard didn't have them to choose from? Spending a fair amount? 3.5m to 4m for Grimes. His...

The ex England player who played a few hundred games for Chelsea? I thought he was just a thug who came to us for a final payday. But he was a level above everyone else.

I was a bit worried about the Lampard appointment mainly because of what would happen if our results didn't improve. It was always going to be difficult because of who he replaced. Things didn't start that well but once he sorted out our defence, helped by putting Dovin in goal, our season has...

A fluke in which way? Turned a very poor side into a very good one. Easily one of the best players I have seen for us.

You're trying your best to 'big' them up. Bit it's quite simple. They're not very good at home. Yes they won at our place in October. We lost to poor sides in the 1st half of the season. Maybe it's something to do with their supporters getting on their backs instead of backing them. They...

Ndlovu scored frequently. He also got a few goals for us.

I do apologise. You're correct. They beat Norwich at home 2-0 three days after losing at home 2-6 to Watford. I was also wrong when I said they won at home once in October. They didn't win any games at home in October.

What odds would you have got for Plymouth to beat Liverpool and then smash Millwall 5-1 🤔😁

Don't forget QPR. They were at the bottom with us and their results have improved with ours. They may be in 13th but are only 3 points behind us. If they had won last night it would be them in 8th and us in 13th.

The teams all around us have to play each other. Just like tonight is 5th against 6th. Our aim should be win the home games and draw the away games. Anything more than a draw away would be a bonus and make up for any points we may drop at home.

They won once at home in October. No wins at home in November. They won once in December. Their last win at home was January 1st. That's poor by any standard.

Only 4 points behind the side that has only let in 3 goals in the last 15 games. That's some going.

2 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat. 11 points from their last 8 home games. Go back a couple more and they lost 2-6 to Watford. You must admit only 2 wins out of their last 8 home games isn't great. Their last win at home was 1st January against Derby. The other one was against Stoke in December...

Preston have nearly always had the better in midfield. Hopefully with Grimes this will change. The two games I would be very happy with a point are away to Sheffield United as they have Hamer and home to Burnley as they don't let many goals in. Otherwise we should be looking for a minimum draw...

WBA v Blackburn tonight. 3 points and 1 point above us. After this only Middlesbrough above us with games in hand and they’re on a bad run. In the top half of the table there's 2 sides that have played 1 game less, Sheffield Wednesday and Watford. Both are 2 points behind us. Sheffield...

9 more wins would put us on 71 points. Only the top 4 sides are averaging 70 points or more. And none of the sides we're competing with for the last 2 places have decent recent form. That's how we caught them up so quickly. So unless 2 sides suddenly improve (not including us) we could end up...

We don't need to keep up with our current form. Our current form is what's needed for those pushing for a top 2 finish. We did need it to make up for our poor start though. People keep mentioning WBA as doing well and uncatchable. But their last 6 league games are 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats...

I kind of agree. We have a 'top 6 deck' squad but have weaknesses in certain positions. Depends on which way you look at it.
