Swansea City: Vitor Matos declines to comment on 'smell of weed' claim
Vitor Matos declines to comment on Paul Heckingbottom's suggestion that Swansea City's players' tunnel smelled of cannabis during Tuesday's draw with Preston North End.www.bbc.co.uk
A bloody sensible take on it, thank you I needed this hahahaI've been feeling really positive since Wednesday night which is not my natural state of mind, It doesn't sit right with me so I've been trying to reassure myself that everything is going to be OK by looking to see how long it took Boro to close the gap, the last time we had a 5 point margin and what it did to the gap to 3rd place.
We are currently 5 points clear of Boro in 2nd and 9 points clear of 3rd.
On the 15th December we had 47 points and were 5 points clear of Boro in 2nd (42) and 8 points clear of 3rd (35) having played 21 games,
It took Boro another 10 games to close that gap and overtake us by which point (after 31 games) the gap to 3rd was still 7 points.
I know anything can happen in this league but if we are still in a similar (or even, better) position with 10 games to go, I think I will start to worry a little less.
Charlton are not beating Wrexham 3-0 lolReally want the super computer to be bloody right for once
Could do without the Ipswich result coming to fruition, but otherwise that would be lovelyReally want the super computer to be bloody right for once
Both are doing remarkably well and are the type to be ignored at your peril who could trouble second spotAm I the only one that doesn't remotely regard Millwall and Hull as a threat? At the end of the day if either catch us it will mean we've royally shit the bed and Middlesbrough and Ipswich will be miles clear of us in any case.
They’re really good but they routinely lose a game when you don’t expect it. Can’t see a collapse but also can’t see a big extra surge coming from them. If you put a gun to my head, I’ll say they finish 4th.Am I the only one that doesn't remotely regard Millwall and Hull as a threat?

I was on about Millwall there. I hope Hull drop down, helped by us winning up there.They’re really good but they routinely lose a game when you don’t expect it. Can’t see a collapse but also can’t see a big extra surge coming from them. If you put a gun to my head, I’ll say they finish 4th.
Millwall need to win 9/12 and Hull 10/13 to reach 86 points, and that's probably not going to be enough for autos in any case. Not remotely perilous from our perspective.Both are doing remarkably well and are the type to be ignored at your peril who could trouble second spot
nah, be shocked if they aren't just play off teams this yearBoth are doing remarkably well and are the type to be ignored at your peril who could trouble second spot

Thats a tough string of fixtures!Hull also have a pretty difficult run in. Out of their remaining games, and in no particular order, they still have to play us, Wrexham, Norwich, Ipswich, Sheff U, Millwall, and Birmingham.
I have said all along that I think 90 will be enough, Following the latest round of results I think with our goal difference, possibly 85 will do it. The highest potential points scorers after us are Boro and Ipswich, either could get to 99 if they will all their games, but not both, as they play each other.Hull also have a pretty difficult run in. Out of their remaining games, and in no particular order, they still have to play us, Wrexham, Norwich, Ipswich, Sheff U, Millwall, and Birmingham.
Charlton 3 Wrexham 0 .....computer error .........Really want the super computer to be bloody right for once
Really. i fell a sleepWatching Bristol game .When are refs.going to start giving a free kick for a blatant shove in back by player when has no chance of getting the ball ?

Is there a requirement to show each team a certain amount of times? Might have been a choice to get two of them out of the way in one go.Really. i fell a sleep
sky couldnt of picked two more boring mid table teams to show then these two
Wonder if they've had smart meter yet?View attachment 49510
I imagine they’ve got the grow lights for it. One way to cover the costs of a Championship club.
Sounds like a possible season ender. 'At least 6 weeks'Ryan Giles injured for Hull
Yes you did, but none of these games were in the 14 game period between our two meetings that I mentioned, as Shannerz says.We beat QPR 7-1, Millwall (A) 4-0 and Sheffield Wed 5-0
I still wouldnt say they were our best performances of the year tbh.Yes you did, but none of these games were in the 14 game period between our two meetings that I mentioned, as Shannerz says.
But now he's injured so he's not playing in HullPoor lad gets no luck. First playing in Hull now this.
Nah, it clearly perplexed and frustrated him and he had a great point.
Seams like a little bit of a headloss interview
it’s just excusesNah, it clearly perplexed and frustrated him and he had a great point.
IMHO Targett's handball in our game against you wasn't intentional, but that's not the point. It may have came at a crucial time when we pulled a goal back and were dominant which made it frustrating at the time, but it came when it came and by the laws of the game, it was a penalty, I wasn't surprised to see it given and have no complaints about your being awarded it at all.
What I would complain at is the fact that Oxford handled too in similar circumstances in the box and unintentional or not, by the same laws of the game, penalty to Boro would have been the only right decision.
When that decision has been laid bare with reasoning in just the game previous and would pretty likely have put us 8 points above Ipswich and not 6 to nullify their games in hand.
I can perfectly understand Hellberg's reaction to this.
His hand was way out definitely penaltyNah, it clearly perplexed and frustrated him and he had a great point.

It's not, as he mentions that the underlying issue is that it shouldn't come down to decisions if all is well. He knows changes need to be made within our approach, takes that on the chin, and always absolves his players of guilt, blaming himself instead (as he did about the first half against yourselves for example)it’s just excuses
