Most importantly, 4 of them are at home where we’ve been flawless under Lampard. Over 32 home games, our league home record is 24-5-3. That’s a 75% win percentage, we have every reason to expect 4, possibly 5 wins from the remaining 6.

Can Ipswich and Boro both realistically hit that when they play each other? The maximum both teams can get is 99 points, 97 if they draw when they play each other. So both teams need 10-1-0 and 12-1-0 to hit the maximum points. By contrast, we could lose 3 times and still hit 96 points, twice...

Home form is always a crutch because it’s rare for most promoted teams to hit 2 ppg in away form. The magic numbers is 2.3 ppg at home and 1.8 ppg away or thereabouts. Boro has the best away form in the division and even they’re at 1.72 and while their home form is good, just not as good as...

If Blues fans think the ownership will be doing this year on year, good luck to them. Spent all that money to be midtable… *slowly claps*

The game is truly gone…

I did think there was massive head loss. They got on the Beadle a lot and even felt sorry for him a little bit. It’s a bubble and it’ll burst in Small Heath.

2.3 ppg last 10 but 1.88 for the season… I don’t think they’ll maintain 2.3 for the next 11 games. If we match our season form, we’ll hit 93 points (2 ppg from remaining 11) and Boro need to go 2.5 ppg to hit 94. If they do that, they deserve to win the league and knock Ipswich out of the...

Just another another reminder that you don’t hate Birmingham enough… 😂

Birmingham are shit… lend us a hand lads?!

They need a win to arrest the slide. If they fail to win, Ipswich will overtake them if they win their games in hand and could even do so at the weekend if QPR beat them next weekend. With Millwall, Ipswich and Wrexham to play, they’ve got some 6 pointers coming up. I wouldn’t want to be in...

I want Birmingham to do us a favour tonight, the psychological blow to Boro probably puts them out of the picture. They need to build a 4 point gap above Ipswich or they’re in a bad situation going into that tie at Portman Road.

They’re still 5 points behind even if they win their games in hand. They’ve got some tough home games so will drop points here and there. Boro also have tough away games and from here, the chances of both of them catching us up and overtaking us is remote. If it was any other club, most...

The referees aren’t stupid, they probably know 8 seconds are up but choose not to apply the rules on edge cases to avoid controversy. Imagine the grief they’d get if the resulting corner led to a goal? Fundamentally, the law isn’t clear either because it says 8 seconds after the surrounding...

They need to introduce an official that keeps track of the time or something. They’ve brought in these rules that don’t actually get implemented, like the time limit for goal keeper resulting in a corner… there’s not been a single instance been given in our games but GKs still take the piss.

He was a ropey for both goals. Probably goes to show just how big the difference is between L1 and the Championship. His goals prevented is the best league believe it or not which summarises Collins to be honest. An excellent shot stopper but is prone to bad mistakes and unfortunately, you...

How many headers has Torp scored for us? Stoke (H) last season is all I’ve got. Everything about Torp’s game is better when he’s further back, his passing and shooting in particular. Back to Eccles, the only ‘elite’ metric is aerial duels this season so it makes sense that he’s filling that...

It’s the kettle calling the pot black because they were a shit team like we were until Pulis got them up and kept them there for a few seasons. The year they beat us 2-1 the year they went up, an old PE teacher of mine said ‘one day, it’ll be you lot’ and that was nearly 20 years ago. I’ll be...

I don’t get how that contributor can clam were a shit house of a club when they had 3 shots and only one on target all game… We do get a lot of last minute winners most of time, it’s been a goal with the run of play. It’s also not our fault their young keeper shit the bed and gifted us a goal...

The important part of the sentence was ‘in some respects’. The big one is probably Eccles scoring headed goals and the way he arrives late into the box which was and an important part of Rudoni’s game last season. To say there are similarities there is fair. Both players are executing tactical...
