Not panicking. Long way to go yet and our form would have to drop off a cliff for us to fail now. This is an easy game for them. We'll have easy games too.

Yeah, they look a very good side right now. People will tell you they're not though, that the opposition are shite etc. We've just got to keep doing what we're doing though. Teams at the top win games, that why they're there. We need to plough on and not worry about what others are doing.

Let a 2 goal lead slip at WBA, should have been tonked at Stoke. At home every team in this league is a different beast.

We've grinded the win the last two weeks rather than outplayed the opposition, we need to step it up if we want to be here at the end of the season. Recent performances don't give much confidence really

Agree, they look more convincing than us

we’ve been lucky to win our last 2, albeit fantastic results after a tough period

We’re going to have to beat them at home, let’s hope we can deal with the pressure.

Your opinion, not mine.
Their last 4 league games scored 4, 3, 2 and 2 so far this game, and you say not good going forward - are you sure ??

We had an unbeaten in 5 Millwall which we beat, and a local rivalry.

I think we did well

Very much so. Even against us they looked very mobile upfront and comfortable on the ball in midfield, just looked toothless upfront. Now they're beginning to not look as toothless upfront, they'll be challenging for the rest of the season.

Yes and I’m saying Man Utd want more than that.

We did well but Leicester could have been 3 up at half time

we have to tighten it up at the back or sign a first team starter straight away in midfield

doubtful either will happen

absolute twaddle

We we much better than Leicester in the 2nd half after we tweaked the shape and we beat a good Millwall team who were 4th and had got decent results against teams challenging for promotion.

We couldn’t have a better run in, if we can’t get enough points from the games left then we don’t deserve it,

It’s also true to say Boro had to grind it out against West Brom and Stoke. Including a game where the opposition boot it in their own goal.

Win as many at home as possible and try and get the odd win away .

2 tough away games in a row when you are being tracked down isnt ideal right now , but even if they catch up i still fancy our run in

Our current performance level won’t get us over the line, I totally agree.

Over to the blunts for now.

I think so too.

A draw would by okay, but a win would make such a huge difference. Massive and it could distance ourselves from them, with them unable to make the ground up

Aside from Sheff Wed who are doomed, Preston and WBA are teams on a total free fall at the moment and lacking all confidence and hope. It’s the best time to play them.

Bollocks. They were the better side first half. But if we’re counting half chances as goals we’d have still won that and the Millwall game.

I think Norwich and QPR will show us if this team can go the distance for the rest of the season, need to be picking up 4 points really.

If the baggies didn't for some reason decide to sit back after their 2nd that game is very different

Shame PNE are so off it, was looking forward to a tight game. Proper shite defending there. Boro look fine but Preston are doing them so many favors.
