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.

Watching the Millwall game on sky, great for the neutrals its end to end. Azeez looking good again, got a great eye for a pass.

Preston 3-0 down now. Totally pathetic. Think Sheff Wed could tonk them at this rate.

I really wouldn't mind if Preston North End were just expunged.

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

Over to the blunts for now.

Our current performance has us beating 4th place in good form and local rivals who have the ability to beat anyone. whereas Boro have beaten a falling Stoke and WBA and a Southampton team over the new manager bounce

I've watched them too, and come to a completely different opinion.
They're not so hot at the back, but going forward, which is what the conversation was about, we'll have to agree to disagree.
Boro just scored their 3rd as i typed, so Boro now scored 4, 3, 2 and 3 so far (at HT), in last 4 games...but shit going forward according to you.

Away games never easy but at least 3 points is the minimum.

Tottenham seem fine with us using YMH for that.

Clearly, but Amass was a regular starter for Wednesday etc

All I’m saying is that our transfer options/transfer strategy is not as straightforward as “I would feel less anxious if we had more backups so let’s sign another”

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.
Click to expand...
They were away matches for Boro, they will be very pleased with 6 points there. They are cruising today and cruised the last home game.

We've grinded out 2 wins at home, points are points but different context on how the points are gained.

Our away from has dropped off the last two months I think Norwich and QPR are massive indicators of where are season is heading.

We’ve relied on Rushworth getting us out of jail quite a bit. We have to be better defensively

3 points is minimum really, I think 4 or 6 is a strong signal of intent to Ipswich and Middlesbrough that we are here to stay.

That's what he is there for. We also relied on Hadj and Esse scoring, thats football. Rushworth is part of the dference you do know

Right but away games at shite teams are on a par with home games against decent sides raising their game.

Have we really lost all concept on the point of a goalkeeper due to our times with Collins and Wilson.

A goalkeepers job is to save things, its not getting us out of jail.

How the hell is this Preston team in 6th place? Our match versus 20th placed Norwich is going to be infinitely more difficult.

Preston curse is not just not about us beating them it's also about how they rollover and let our challengers Hammer them.

I couldn’t hate Preston anymore.

When we scraped a draw against ten men up there this site were confident they were a good side. They’re fucking shite.

It’s true that if you ignore all the points we gained from games where we didn’t win easily, or the games where our keeper had to make some saves, we would be nowhere near the top of the league. Some serious questions for Lampard.
