Straight red is 3 games for serious offences, I'm confident that the tackle would be deemed serious foul play.
HITC posted a Championship video this week and they’re even in the comment section on that describing how we’ll be swept aside on Monday and it’s all a fluke blah blah blah. As he said in that video, we’ve been on 2 PPG since Lampard came in. It isn’t a fluke.

We won't be there on Tuesday
We can't all set the Premier league alight with.....(checks note).......22 points, 4 victories and a 23rd place finish.
Part of the worst relegated trio in PL history.
Even if we are we'll still be 10 points clear of the most expensive Championship team ever assembled
Fucking clowns. Hope Boro hold them off and they flop in the play offs.

But yes, we may well lose to them twice in a month with illness running through the squad in both games and a completely bent ref in at least one...still will be 10 points clear of them as you say.
Their away form will have to turn in a big way to get anywhere near us. I'd be satisfied with a point to keep them where they are given the tough fixtures and circumstances we've faced. If we beat them id say its almost impossible they catch us.Granted the game isn't on Tuesday it's tomorrow
I'm of the same view, a draw would be just fine. That said I'm getting a similar feeling about it as before that game against Leeds under Aidy Boothroyd after which the season really tanked. We were in playoff contention rather than some way clear at the top though.
Nah we are built differently now. Those tractor nonces will have it tomorrow
Some good players in that team but led by ( according to many at the time) a total tosspot. We all have doubts because of so many disappointments, but I'm quietly confident we will finish the job this year.
I don’t as I’d take Hackney from boro…can’t say there’s any players of theirs I’d particularly want.Even if we are we'll still be 10 points clear of the most expensive Championship team ever assembled

They seem a surprising brand of arrogant considering they’ve only had a couple great seasons in the EFL then tanked the prem.
Leicester were just as arrogant in 23/24 but at least they had prem seasons, European football, and trophies to back it up.
Would be nice to pay them back for the defeat earlier in the month but results over Xmas means we could afford a draw if necessary.
I am steeling myself for a defeat though. We've got a small, illness ravaged squad playing three games in a week so they're going to be knackered. Our first choice LB is suspended and his replacements are either looking a bit past it at this level or not showing the positional awareness required (especially when the person playing ahead of them doesn't track back so much)
Probably saw Wright in for Simms again (though I do think Simms has been poorly managed by FL - he thrives on confidence, scores 5 in 3 and gets PotM then gets dropped for a player who didn't look fully match fit and was in a dry spell. Is it any wonder when he comes back in he's lost a bit of his mojo?). I would at some point like to see the two of them up front together rather than always the straight swap.
Other consideration is Rudoni. Clearly a very, very good player but since he's come back in we haven't looked quite the team we did while he was out. He takes a few extra touches that is preventing us being as deadly going forward as we were with BTA in the team. He also seems to drift around a bit too much and take up positions other players are already in. Get him to stay more central.

If you think a lot of our fans wouldn’t be arrogant shits after one pish season in the PL, you’re very mistaken!
There’s enough of it now since we’ve won the league in December.

Referees would appear to love them! I have never known a football club get so many decisions in their favour. Even in the Millwall match the Millwall goal could have gone either way for off side and we know which way it went. Hirst should have been sent off against us and poor Blackburn 1 nil up with 10 minutes to go against 10 men and the match was replayed. In the replay Matisiwa remained on the pitch for a last man foul with the Blackburn player clear on goal. Blackburn by all accounts were denied a clear penalty and they got a jammy last minute equaliser which they did not deserve.
As previous posters have said they used to carry the goodwill of many neutrals in their games , but not anymore.

No well be celebrating, I think.We won't be there on Tuesday
Would FL give Callum Perry a start at LB got to see what this lad is about sooner or later. Could be a nice surprise if he gets a chance.
The pen was stone wall.
Like that one Chelsea got away with against Newcastle but even more obvious
Hopefully we'll have a few dead rubbers at the end of the season once we've won the league which will alow us to give minutes to Perry, Andrews etc
How does a defeat against us end their auto hopes when they’re currently only 5 points behind Boro?
It’ll be a busy night for bidwell but we owe these one, win would be huge
Bidwell
Did u go on Friday? He was garbage and will likely get crucified by Ipswich attackers. Brau must be bad if Bidders is getting in before him !We can’t start like we did against Swansea but don‘t Think that’ll be a problem, they’ll be right up for this one, 3-0
