Where’s the 4-5 weeks come from then

It's only Cov players who have calf strains who are out for 4 or 5 weeks.

The point is we can lose half our games and easily do it now.

The overreaction is more worry than anything else. We're sitting very pretty.

Yeah, wouldn’t disagree with that. In fact that’s how I’m looking at the final 8 games. 2 game chunks where we just need to win one of them. No problem with people who are worried though. Everyone wants this so badly and who can blame us!

So tomorrows games of importance are

Blackburn vs Boro 12:30
Ipswich vs Millwall 12:30
Sheffield Wed vs Hull 3:0

Blackburn still could get drawn in to relegation battle.
Ipswich Millwall draw I guess is best result. As Ipswich still have game in hand.
Hull need to win to have any chance of Autos but looks tough.

Yeah, don't think Hull are in the equation.

The feeling we’re gonna throw it away is strong

Really?
Strange. Since the results came in after the Southampton game I think I’ve felt my most confident that we might do it.
I’m fighting the urge to think we WILL but we’re in a good position.
(That’s as far as I’m willing to go).

Pete, maybe you should private message Matt Smith. You two throwing worst case scenarios at each other might be therapeutic.

What if the messaging function stops working though!?

Tbf Lampard didn't have a brilliant record when you appointed him.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't rubbish either, it was merely "ok" with a few decent little periods.

Sometimes a manager just "fits" a club (like Wilder does with the Blades, whereas he's been fairly crap most other places) "gets" the fanbase (whose positivity is absorbed by the players) has a good chairman who'll back him BUT keep his nose out of football affairs (Are you listening Brum?) and is a man who the players respect and buy into the ethos of either due to his former career or his intellect and man-mamagement abilities.

Plus it also seems Frank has (though starting slow) actually learned from his management experience, which some coaches do more than others (Indeed some barely learn at all and they don't tend to have a career beyond a decade long)

LOL - he was a real coup for us.

Yes Lampard is just an OK coach and a great fit for us.

Hes not an Excellent coach like Hellberg who would suit most teams in the country.

Their delusion is off the scale. They’ll bottle it again this year.
