Our xG hasn’t been dropping, for PNE and Bristol the xG was in and around 2. Similar or higher than in games we’ve scored 3-4 goals, such as Boro, QPR, Watford and probably a few other games.

I hope we learn the lessons of Ipswich’s recruitment to be honest. Creating a championship super team won’t keep you up and we’re seeing that Ipswich are underperforming this season and assuming they go up (I think they will), can’t see them staying up.

Anyone who’s watched us in our ‘rough patches’ will have seen that the results did not match the performances. Ipswich was not a 3-0 domination, we should’ve beat PNE and Southampton we were the better team until a red card. 2 points from the last 3 away games isn’t a bad return. The team does...

On top of 2-3 signing in Jan, I’d say we’d need close to 10 signings in we went up. Sunderland made about 12 new signings this summer.

You pretty much need to do a Forest or Sunderland to stay up. We’ll need to spend comfortably £100+ million on transfers.

He has more tackles than MVE btw…

Agreed on all points. Lampard’s career to date was tarnished unfairly imo. Unlike some managers who have a ‘system’ that they’ve perfected (Martin, Kompany or Maresca), Lampard has proven that he is actually flexible which in my view, has helped us develop so quickly this season and got us...

The whole 2nd half, yes. 1st we were undoubtedly the better team so this Eckert is delusional to say otherwise. His bubble will burst imo. Haji was 1 v 1 with the keeper and didn’t even get a shot off!

Yes, unlike Kompany and Maresca, he’s already managed at ‘the top’ so his record probably counts against him even though it wasn’t particularly bad. He enjoys being here and appears to have brought into the project so I genuinely think he’ll have a crack at Prem with us should we finish the job...

Not many, Ipswich will break into the Top 2 imo but is their run rate better than ours for the rest of the season? Probably not.

What did they say? I’ve not long got in!

Me neither. Beat Ipswich on the 29th and I’m fully convinced we’re champions elect. It’s funny, in our ‘rough patch’, the lead at the top has gone from a 10 point lead to 6 points… Also, the Hellberg bubble is potentially burst after 5 games. Sure, they’ll do well at home on Boxing Day and the...

100% - their only hope was a defensive error because we were well on top in the first half.

Look man, don’t intend for a protracted back and forth here. Ultimately, if what you and others were saying was true, government policy would be free vaccines for all. It’s not, so your position is against government policy and indeed the NHS that run such vaccine rollouts. The fact you’re...

PNE are away for Boxing Day & the 29th, we’ll extend our lead on them. It depends on whether Millwall, Hull and Ipswich pull points back. The 29th is shaping up to be a huge game.

@fatso I know it’s early doors but got the feeling I’m winning our charity bet 😉

Agreed but hindsight is 20:20 and feel like EMC was playing well so initially felt it was a strange decision to take him off. Had we went 2-1 down we’d have been in a bad spot because we did not have the means to pinch a goal. Which shows that we need reinforcement in Jan. Probably our best...

No, Haji bottled the counter attack where the penalty shout happened. His first touch was so poor, it made the GK favourite and meant the penalty wasn’t given. Ngl, Simms should be reinstated to the starting eleven. Haji hasn’t scored since October and needs to earn his spot back imo. Lampard...

Idiotic comment. I told you earlier in the thread that I take the vaccines because I’m immuneo-compromised. Hence I got the COVID jabs on the 2nd/3rd wave and entitled to free flu jabs yearly. This year, I opted not to take the jab because I’d already got the flu around October. If you want to...

He deserves a lot of credit today, played v well and well up for the scrappy defensive part of the game.
