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 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?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.
It was a very similar game to that in fairness .. lets hope we find a way againThought 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.

we played the second worst team in the league. it was dreadfulCalmed down a bit.
Think we played in reflection okay. As poster put above reminded me of Hull. Just missing a spark in attack. Better performance than the last two and a clean sheet (when was our last one).
Copium but hoping we can restart our push with a win against Middlesboro (after they lose Monday night)
I'm a little old fashioned (forgive me) in believing that when you are table toppers - With the second best home form in the league, that you shouldn't have to conjure up 'luck' as a means to conquer second bottom in the same league.We cant slate the team today ..im certainly not. Frustrated isnt the word.
But it happens ....we played well. Lacked vital ingredient luck.
We can certainly turn it around but it’s not a given
Lampard has to try something different rather than just hoping it will happen
I know I’m optimistic but don’t genuinely feel it was anywhere near as bad as Norwich or QPR. Even stats wise were much better.we played the second worst team in the league. it was dreadful
we’ve drawn against utter shite at home. it’s indefensibleI know I’m optimistic but don’t genuinely feel it was anywhere near as bad as Norwich or QPR. Even stats wise were much better.
If this match happened in our good run, you’d just argue it was one of those days like Norwich at home. I think it’s the circumstance of not winning in three and the anxiety of the others.
Again Copium but don’t feel like it was a complete bust. We had plenty of chances to win it, our strikers are awful atm mind and genuinely starting to think the Bamford fans were onto something. Just hoping blades can beat Boro now

Have a day off , you are seriously tediouswe’ve drawn against utter shite at home. it’s indefensible
thought it was good today did you?Have a day off , you are seriously tedious
Oxford came to sit behind the ball, it isn't easy to play against.Key contextual differences though namely
1. Oxford are much worse than Hull and were absolutely terrible today
2. Post-Hull we didn’t have the giant spectre of the lead we’d thrown away looming over the players which will impact the ability to go on another good run
3. Our best run of form didn’t start until over a month after the Hull game
It is pointless, we watched it.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.

Poor management.Poor game
I just noticed that the goalies are allowed to use their handsIt is pointless, we watched it.
we played the second worst team in the league. it was dreadful
1.14 is 1/7 on .I've just checked on my Betfair exchange account and there is a market (with only £45k volume traded all season so far) we are 1.14 to make the top Six , obviously decimal odds but 1/86 on if you use fractional odds.
All this virtuous look at me I'm so positive shit gets on my nerves. We have utterly bottled it
I watched Man City struggle against low block anti football teams and not score! Come week on Monday we will beat the Mboro because we got the Indian sign on them and they let you play football.I don't want Haji on the left, only if it's the best option for a game or two. If we were in a good spot and not under pressure to turn form around I'd be fine with Minni starting. Main thing I don't want it Esse playing out of position when he's started pretty well.
Remember on the exchange your stake is included in the decimal odds.... I've explained this a few times just today,in fractional odds we are 1/86 on to finish in the top six (Betfair exchange odds converted to fractional)... The 1.14 decimal odds on the exchange is the sharpest price you can currently get. 1/100 on ( in fractional odds ) is the best you can get from a sports book.1.14 is 1/7 on .
