I wasn't that impressed with us tbh, but it was a strange game. We barely had to lift a finger given we took an early lead.
West Brom need to get rid of Ramsay asap or they're going down. They have a decent squad, the right manager would sort them out fairly easily I think.
xG isn’t the be all and end all of football stats
It’s just a decent indicator of the quality of chances a team creates (and concedes). Which is what a large part of football discourse revolves around.
Asante is a red herring
He had a purple patch in front of goal, that’s pretty much it.
Maybe you can argue his pressing is missed, but with everyone fit where would he actually start now?
If James and Fatawu turn up Leicester will be a problem for anyone.
They still have quite a bit of individual quality, just seems to be a general apathy about the team and club generally that’s bringing them down.
Sheff Wed - Blackburn - Portsmouth - Wrexham with 3/4 at home is a great run. If we can get to those and still be top you’d think we could get it over the line.
Agree, both felt very different though
QPR was a party basically from the start, Boro a very tense match.
I was just glad the fans and players used that tense energy in the right way.
Fans up for it from the start. Players matched that energy.
Boro are clearly an excellent footballing side but we beat them with a game plan, intensity and execution in the moment.
If we do go up this will be looked at as the pivotal moment. If that performance and result doesn’t restore...
