Honestly? I think we’ll beat them comfortably. Their away form is decent but have also lost 7 games and as also, back us to score 2 goals most home games.

I don’t think it is. The general trend is that we conceded more goals when we play Lati than when we didn’t. That was the case up until the last few games. Kitching in particular had a bad run of games and unfortunately for him, played himself out of the starting 11. Irrespective of league...

Bristol are at home in the cup and it feels like a gimmie that they’ll win the tie and our game rearranged. With certainty, it sells out straight away.

He’s also v calm and level headed which is good imo. Lampard clearly stayed the course with some of his tactical ideas before changing it up significantly when it was apparent it wasn’t working as intended. Flailing about and trying to change things up week on week is weak leadership.

In January yes, but Boro had some poor results in December themselves, to lose 2 away games as well as pick up 1 point at home over Xmas was pretty poor for them. They probably needed to overtake us sooner with a buffer going into our tie because for us to be knocked off top to take it back 1...

I mentioned this yesterday. If we were to go 3 games clear of Boro, I don’t see them making that up in 11 games. Not with their away games. If they lose to Ipswich that’ll be a killer blow for them imo.

To be honest, my view is that it’ll be quite comfortable in the end. Ipswich have to play 7 games in 21 days or something? I think they beat Millwall and Boro to 2nd but finishing top is a stretch too far imo. Win on Saturday and we go 8 points top with Boro playing Birmingham on Monday who...

Onyeka is better than Torp and Grimes imo. He’s a solid Prem squad player so he will improve us and that’s a view I held before we signed him. Grimes wasn’t ‘isolated’ on his own as he would mostly be sat alongside the CBs. Torp would be between the line of 3 and the front 2 pressers (Rudoni...

Had they beaten Pompey recently they’d be in a great position. They haven’t got the legs for it imo. They play Ipswich and Boro away so if they beat both teams, they deserve it. It’s just a ridiculously high ask and whoever modelled Millwall to finish 2nd… redo the numbers or rework the model! 😂

It’s more tactical to be fair and the switch has happened at Oxford at home with Torp and even tweaks v Leicester (H). The 3-1-6 shape was high risk, high reward strategy that unfortunately exposed us to too much risk. Onyeka and Grimes are playing as a partnership in a more defined 2 CM...

For arguments sake, even if we did bottle it (which we won’t), going into the season the consensus was that this team wasn’t a Top 2 team. So the conclusion is Lampard isn’t good tactically is just a ridiculous viewpoint. When people talk about the last 13 games, they only mean away form...

Neither ‘incident’ was a penalty last night.

A win on Saturday and we more or less secure promotion imo (not literally ofc). My assumption is that Boro will fail to beat Birmingham and therefore, the likelihood of 2 teams overturning an 5-8 point deficit with 11 games left just seems unrealistic. An ideal situation is something like...

I was confident today that we’d get a result until KO, first half was pretty ropey and after their opener, thought a draw would be the best we could get. I missed their goal. Second half performance was brilliant an we were the better team. Solid away performance and fair play to Frank changing...

For sure, I’m v confident that a win tonight and v Stoke is ‘set point’. From that position, we really would need rotten form at home and away to fall out of the top 2.

Do you back any of those teams to beat Ipswich away? Personally, I don’t. 2-3 draws, definitely. I don’t expect Boro, Ipswich or ourselves to drop many more points at home. Although Boro could be demoralised if they drop any more points v Blues and QPR and we’ve pulled away. In fact, Boro...

All that is true, but objectively, their away run in is easier than the ourselves and Boro. Last season, we tripped up v Plymouth, Luton, Derby and Hull in the closing weeks of the season, so the league position isn’t a gimme. They can be difficult games and for our sake, I want them (and...

I wasn’t laughing at you, but with you - the post was funny. Frankly, I hope they lose all 3 games but don’t think they will. Equally, projecting that they will win 3-4 games against the likes of WBA, Sheff W, Stoke, Charlton, Pompey, Norwich or Southampton is hardly a big claim that’s...

It’s important to note that I said I can’t see where they’ll lose. Of course they can drop points by drawing games. They’ve only lost 1 more away game than us and Boro and if they win their game in hand, Football is full of surprises, the bookies would’ve made a lot of money with Oxford drawing...

I’m looking at Ipswich’s remaining away games and can’t see where they’ll lose. Draws v Southampton and Norwich seem realistic, perhaps one of those will be a loss. Stoke, Wednesday, Charlton and WBA seem like shoe-in wins. Compare that to Boro’s run in away of Birmingham, QPR, Blackburn...
