If we come out of Feb in touching distance I’ll believe and will change my avatar to Lampard as a sign of contrition.
I’ve been saying this to friends, if we win those two games we will no doubt be going up to the Prem.
I’ll be looking at booking my Wembley hotel after the Preston game if we win.
Yeah but we had Norwich on toast until the ref decided the challenge on Lati was not a foul a hoodoo if ever their was one!We never beat Swansea. They’re like Preston. Who we also play in Feb. Feb really is a brutal month.
They just weren't in it for all the possession..
Way too soon to start getting excited
O'Brien gets his arse absolutely handed to him here
That bloke looked a right c**t. His arse properly went.
From what I know of James O'Brien he is not a nice person and has some extreme views.I've never heard this before. I remember the story but I never realised he took on the smarmy O'Brien to correct him for spreading lies. It takes balls to put yourself on the radio, discussing all your personal problems with a journalist that thinks you're scum.

February does look tough, I think we will be lucky to take more than 6 points from those 5 fixtures, purely because we play 2 bogey teams, the league leaders, and even QPR have been on a good run, although they haven't played anyone special in that run of 4 wins. But March should make up for it as we play Oxford, Stoke, and Derby. Even Sunderland don't worry me as we seem to be their bogey team.We never beat Swansea. They’re like Preston.

Lovely pic... except it was outside the ground at HT... Leaving poor Rhys to do the teamtalk!

The team seem to have a bit of a hybrid approach at the moment. Sometimes gradual build up, sometimes the longer pass, but they're definitely moving it quicker.I was really shocked to learn that two of the most successful clubs (for their size) in the PL, Bournemouth and Forest are the two teams that are way ahead of all the other sides in getting the ball forward quickly. Often kicking it long. The worst side for a slow build up and possession based football are Southampton, although there are other reasons for their overall crappiness. Be interesting to see if Bournemouth and Forest get found out near the end of the season.
Portsmouth at home are a classic example of this approach along with their overly physical game. At present, they can't seem to reproduce that form away.
Like Robins before him, I think circumstance has meant Frank has had to abandon the lets keep moving the ball around keeping possession model. I also feel the huge increase in potential subs has finally filtered through that you can't tire the opposition out then pick them off.
Is it just me that’s never called us Cov? Only ever heard other teams fans call us that, Latubeaudiere’s Cov Cov Cov makes me feel the same way.
I understand that Pompey are essentially resting all their best players away from home…or they have the last few games.,I was really shocked to learn that two of the most successful clubs (for their size) in the PL, Bournemouth and Forest are the two teams that are way ahead of all the other sides in getting the ball forward quickly.

It’s not about keeping in touch for me and I won’t be judging Lampard on thatTeams above us mostly seem to be playing lower placed sides next game. Might need to win just to keep in touch tbf

It’s great we’ve hit a run of form and all and props to Lampard for that, but it probably says a lot about the quality of the rest of the division that we actually could make a run at it than it does about us - We’ve been mostly poor and inconsistent up until last week and we are still only 6 points off the play offs
A 9th-12th finish I’d be happy with and anything above that is a massive bonus
I don't think so, you see this sort of thing happen in all divisions every season, there are always teams that have good runs and storm up the table and teams that have bad form or bad injuries and drop down.It’s not about keeping in touch for me and I won’t be judging Lampard on that

I think we’ve been left with too much to do this season but already excited for the next one to see what Lampard can do.
