yes, I think the notion we haven't played any of the good teams yet is beginning to fade.

As I said, I believe this is the incident he was referring to, I can't think of any other. It was the reference to the bottom of the boot, I really can't see how MR could come to that conclusion or why it was included in his comment. Moment of contact

What he actually said was "I can't remember really, them laying a glove on the goalkeeper apart from when they split the underside of his chin wide open with a boot, umm with the bottom of a boot"

I wouldn't be surprised if we won 4 of those though.

Some people are conveniently forgetting the last goal against Sheff U. It went down as an assist but really Haji might as well have said to BTA "here have my goal"

I don't think many people dispute that, but his comment, particularly insinuating we tried to injure their keeper was well out of order, and if you think that was OK I'd be surprised.

That's worst case scenario and assuming they beat us twice, and a resurgent Blackburn away who, although losing their last game have recently beaten Bristol, Leicester, and Southampton

I don't think many of us expected to win yesterday, so you never know, but around 12 points from those games would be good.

The reference about their keeper, I assume he means when he spilled the ball and BTA went for it quite legitimately, that was a very poor comment and I expected better from MR. Hurting or not he shouldn't have said that.

Suddenly the next 3 games don't look so intimidating. Ipswich and Preston (because of our record against them) look difficult

From that list, Leicester and Southampton beat the 2 worst teams in the league, and Ipswich are going to be up there in May so can have second spot.

Yes, obviously Dovin is a long term injury but it happened last season, still counts but at least we had the chance to properly replace him. BBC showing Torp having played in 12 games, will have to check though.

4 or 5 long term injuries would be extremely unlucky.

Imagine if you won the lottery as well

Interesting stat. Every team has lost at least 1 game in the last 6, and only 3 teams are unbeaten in the last 4 games, Charlton, Derby, and Wrexham.

The away games do look tough but I would expect us to get something from them. I think between now and the end of the year it's all about our home form. 10 points from our 5 home games and 4 from our 5 from our away games wouldn't be too bad. I'm hopeful we can find a win from those 5. One...

Well he did say "worth" 10/12 goals. Semantics, I know but it could be interpreted that he didn't have to score those goals himself

Game 23 is Boxing day. Home games before then we have WBA, Charlton, Bristol, and Swansea. 40 points at that stage means losing one of those home games and all of Stoke, Middlesboro, Ipswich, Preston, and Southampton away.

To be fair, if Haji had have been flagged offside we would have conceded a good chance. Worked out alright though.

It's funny how quickly things change in football. Just a few months ago we were hoping to play these in the play-off final, but back then even if we had made it very few were giving us much chance. Now we are 22 points ahead of them, and there would have been meltdown on here if we hadn't won...
