Guess it depends on whether it was the flu or not. If it's this new flu, I wouldn't think he would have a cat in hell's chance of playing.

Really hoping we haven't got any players out through illness.

Andy Turner said Lampard confirmed MVE was back.

Yes and all those teams need to come to our place. We’ve only lost 3 games in 27 home games under Lampard.

In fact, all of our ‘6 pointers’ in 2026 will be at home (including Ipswich at home on the 29th). Ipswich, Leicester, Southampton, Boro, Stoke, PNE, Millwall all need to our place.

Can't underestimate how crucial that could be.

3-1 win, but think we're going to see two tired teams out there with the third game this week. Especially on a depleted squad.
Hopefully playing a day earlier than Bristol City in the week will give us an advantage

Nobody has asked how much beer will be yet?

Can't underestimate how crucial that could be.

Exactly, and none of those listed have good away form. Ipswich and Southampton have 12 points away from 9 and 10 games respectively. In short, we’re in a positive place because after the New Year, we’d have got all the toughest away games out of the way so you’d expect our away form to uptick again. We’ve got to repeat what we did last season where we beat all the teams around us at home.

It’s a rare exception when a team averages 2 ppg away from home. The only teams to do it are Burnley (twice), Norwich and Wolves since the dark days of L2.

No excuses from now on , apart from Asante were full strength again, expecting normal,service resumed tomorrow

I won't stop worrying until we are ten points clear with three games to go

I should, of course, have added that even then I will probably worry that we will get a points deduction, our ground won't meet the Premier League's requirements or clubs whose name begins with the letter "C" will be banned from being promoted.

First and foremost we need to start keeping clean sheets again and get back to scoring goals as incredible as its been really need to get back to winning ways...no wet bed tomorrow only tears of joy
