A lot of our fans really don’t like him for some bizarre reason. There are a couple on here are pretty gleeful every time Stoke have a bad result as it means they can stick the boot in some more.

If Ipswich carry on their current home and away PPG they're on course for 83 points.
They need to put something special together

And if they do, they may well derail Boro and Millwall in the process. Win tonight, and the margin for error (to quote Benjamin Bloom) increases substantially. Like others have said, the Saints and Swansea games are potential banana skins, yet if we win tonight, not potentially fatal.

I'm hoping the EFL take a retrospective look at the incident and take appropriate action. The lad could have died.

The players faces when the penalty was awarded were brilliant.

My view hasn't really changed to be honest. Not least of all because Millwall aren't showing signs of slowing down.

We still need to win at least 5 out of the remaining 10 which we're more than capable of but nothing is a given regardless of likelihood.

This final stretch of 10 games is a pressure cooker where predicting results becomes nigh on impossible and as often happens one of the 4 chasing autos is probably going to drop off quite significantly.

We're in a great position, but once again, we just need to make sure it's not us!

We’re projected to hit around Millwall’s max points so it’d be great if they beat Ipswich and Boro back to back.

They’re not going to hit 95 points and we’re most likely to hit 94-96 points atm. That’s only giving us 7 points away from home which imo is a low ball, but 14-15 home form may be a little bit too high.

This whole ‘there’s a long way to go’ take is a rather low resolution take. We’re in command and the games are running out for teams to catch us up. Won the last 3 away games and we’ve dropped 2 points from 15 in 2026. Under Lampard, we’ve lost 3 home games in 32 and we have 6 home games remaining.

There’s a reason the odds give us a 95%+ chance of automatic promotion. Boro are our main rival and frankly, if they lose v Millwall and Ipswich their chances to finish above us collapse to more or less 0%. Millwall beat Ipswich and they also can’t really finish above us.

I'll be completely honest with you if you want to talk percentages I 100% find you quite boring so I can't particularly be bothered to read this.

Our style of play was always the biggest factor in how many goals we conceded , not defensive ability .

Its also the same tripe people were saying immediately before our bad run in December/Jan when our "unassailable lead" effectively disappeared.

Its less likely to happen again with our more favourable fixtures, but its not out of the question.

All this talk of "meltdowns" on other forums.... short memories

So, to recap…… we’ve only lost once at home this season, only lost six all season, that works out at one loss every six games. That works out to one/two more losses in the next ten. Since September, we’ve been off the top for SIX days, due to a Borolona surge, which we’ve then gone on to nullify with this win streak. We have more home games than away left.
OH, and Ipswich need more than draws!! Hahaha
I’ve only done this to convince myself we are doing this, it just feels so alien for us to be flying at the top!

Let’s show them the Hirst 2nd yellow card incident and the Wright penalty shout. Then the multiple ‘soft’ penalties they got elsewhere.

They can’t have their cake and eat, simultaneously believing you should’ve had a penalty v Leicester but not the Stoke one is just delusional.

Taylor should have been off last night before he scored as well.
From what I've seen they've benefitted more from dubious desicions than anyone else.

What you've broadly outlined isn't fact though? It's a prediction.

Thankfully, I'm able to understand the difference...

I don't necessarily disagree with your analysis, on the contrary it's the most likely outcome, however it still relies on projections and assumptions about how the remaining fixtures play out.

There is an agenda against Ipswich for sure.

It's one of justice, fairness and equilibrium and the last one they have weighed down far too far on their own side.

Kitching dropped just for a laugh then?

Fact is the CBs we had were rash together and both have serious flaws defensively which has meant we needed to swap one out for some organisational ability and sign an out and out DM to protect them.

If you have to change your entire set up to accommodate your CBs I’d argue that’s not a sign you’ve got great CBs.

Players can be dropped and it have nothing to do with their overall ability .. although id argue that thomas is better than every centre back we have here .

But really the main reason we changed the way we play is we were too open in midfield

Kitching dropped on form.

His form in the early part of the season was excellent; then it fell away. That's what we have a squad for.

Sod them

Lampard complained about the penalty we should have had against them in the home game and they laughed him down as bitter and a sore loser - So let them lie in the bed they made

I genuinely hope from the current team in the mix it is us and anyone but them who get promoted their manager and fans have proper rubbed me up the wrong way this season
