Yeah, hope we have a go at them, especially the home ones. I think we'll make the playoffs, but need to prove we can beat this level of team if we're going to get past the semis or beyond
My prediction for the 3 games against the top 4 teams is
Sunderland win
Sheffield lose
Burnley draw
Which I'd be happy with
Yeah, don't think we'll revert to 5ATB now barring another spate of injuries
Yeah, would be a great return. 3 or 4 points would be great from these 3.
As a Sheffield resident I would dearly love to beat them on their own patch. Their fan base varies between the hugely pesimistic ( generally the older ones) and the deluded ( the young ones ) who are particularly ignorant and obnoxious generally.
Certainly seems that way from the outside looking in & I'm delighted to see it, as it's something Lampard has been strongly criticised for in his previous roles. Leaving a potentially difficult character like Bassette out of the squad could be testing so it's important he's managed properly.
Clive said 69/70 when he interviewed FL after the game
Almost a 60% win ratio in 19 league games
I doubt ANY of us expected this

Over a 60% win ratio in 19 league games and almost a 60% win ratio in all competitions .
I doubt ANY of us expected this
That won't continue when we're in the prem, reckon it will drop to about 50.
Because they had a better month than us, including beating us.
And for those that believe in such things as manager of the month curse, they've just lost 1-0 to Portsmouth.
Well done frank , I sang his song for the first time today .
There's things he can do better , but hes got the job done and thats all that matters .

Fine I’ll admit it, Lampard was a better choice than Evatt 
When we lost so badly at home to Derby earlier in the season with a awful display never thought we'd end up 5 th.
And that bellend who took Luton down.Fine I’ll admit it, Lampard was a better choice than Evatt
When we lost 2-0 to Derby away i thought wed never end up 5th!
Fair play to him. In hindsight it should have been done sooner.
I think I suggested Dean Smith at one point!
Certainly didn’t want Lampard. He’s been a breath of fresh air and clearly (and crucially) the players want to impress him. He’s been given good support by the owner and has got most of the big decisions right. We really could do this.
Bristol City were lucky Blackburn didn't score a winner. Just watching the Bradford and Walsall games. Walsall were top at Xmas with 12 point lead and now currently 4 th .
