On the odds talk, we're still joint favourites to win the league and favourites for a top 2 finish.

To finish in the top two we are going to have to perform at virtually the level of Middlesbrough and Ipswich for the rest of the season. I'd love to think we will but, given the way we have played for over two months, I can't see it.

I'd love to be wrong.

I had zero confidence we would score a winner as the game went on .. so much so i cashed out 30 pound on the 70th minute for a near 90 quid 5 team acca

Three points I'd make though, firstly Ipswich will pretty soon have a bag full of games to play in a very short space of time if they keep going in the cup. And Hull are blowing hot and cold, they're were $hite to watch today (and the game before that) So either of them romping every game is pretty fsr from a given.

Secondly, I don't think you'll lose your next two at all.
You numbers are there and up, it's just a case of converting them. No team can carry on dominating games and still hitting blanks (even our period as such, we began our latest surge when we started converting them properly)

Oh and thirdly you do know that we "only" drew against Oxford when Adi was in interim charge? As did yourselves earlier in the season. And Millwall. And in their 2 games against Ipswich they won 1, lost 1, by the same margin. They raise their game significantly against the top teams, especially in defence and between the sticks.

We haven’t been dominating anyone for months. Not sure how much you’re watching us but we are truly abject right now. I expect you to put two or maybe even more past us at home with not much reply.

QPR game was an anomaly, but the results at the start of the season weren't a fluke; we were by far the best team in the division on pretty much every metric.

Now we look like a team that would struggle to stay up.

The form was always going to dip to a degree, especially with a small squad, but we had that margin for error. How the squad and management have managed to throw that away in such a short space of time is unfathomable.

I don't think there's any mental strength anywhere in the squad.
We were the best team at the start of the season but once teams started to work us out we have been poor and have continued with the same tactics, isn’t that the definition of madness?

Thought I'd have a look at the match compared with the Hull first game of the season. There were some pretty OTT reactions after that and we all know what happened from there. I don't know why I post on match threads at the time of the match, it's too raw.
