And who's out there who could guarantee getting us over the line?
If we don't go up then next year's target, realistically, is the play offs, and we'll have just sacked the man who,in all likelihood, will have all but got us there 2 years on the spin. (And we'll had to have paid him and his team off)

It's a no from me, stick with Lampard.

Jim Smith!

If he stays or goes is ultimately up to DK.

Yeah, I wasn't under the illusion my post would have any bearing on it!

 

[oscillatewildly]

Even if we play really well, but lose and are very unlucky? Awful penalty decision, really unlucky deflection?

Wouldn't be justified then, surely?

I would think it's only justified if we don't perform and are poor.

Oh alright then!

Certainly the better team for 10/15 mins, but Boro could have scored 4 by half time.

It was a a very open back and forth game. Boro just more clinical.

Don't forget! Mboro coaching staff have not seen Frank the Tank play for city yet and will not know how we play him. It will take them at least 15/20 mins to counteract him so we got to score early

Also Markelo should be close to fitness now with 3 weeks training. Surprise package off the bench

The only tough game from out of that lot is Ipswich in my opinion.

Birmingham have lost one home league game since the start if last season I think . So not an easy game

At this stage of the season it’s the unexpected teams you expect to beat that do you over. Everyone in this league is pretty much playing for a promotion or avoid relegation spot.

Birmingham lost once at home this season, 4 months ago

Should be goals in this. The away game could’ve gone either way, Conway missing that great chance at 2-2 probably decided the game in our favour

Last night Boro reminded me of us earlier in the season, very dangerous going forward but also susceptible at the back. SU missed a couple of great chances early on and if they had kept 11 men on the pitch it felt like an equaliser was possible. Stoke also had them on the ropes recently

If we haven’t lost our confidence then it should be a cracking game


Ps if anyone knows the drummer can they tell him that he’s the heartbeat of the fans when it comes to getting the singing going at home. I know it’s hard, especially with an ever growing bunch of miserable fuckers but keep trying different songs until one catches properly… don’t just sit there with your sticks up your arse. This game is massive and Boro will be noisy so let’s make sure we’re good to go

We hadnt lost at home at all until Ipswich rooked up

It could just take 1 game to turn this form around, won’t be monday, but a good win at west brom with a fully fit squad and
we could easily go on a run again, we can’t keep being this bad

 

[LeamBandit]

Blocking out all rationality and dreaming of a win to turn the tide on our poor form.
