Draw at Charlton was probably fair but really should have won the other two.Yes - ifs and buts get you no points, but I think most people would agree we should have taken at least one win from Preston, Southampton and Charlton.
no one is denying that. But we've won 2 out of 3.
Our home forms the best in the league, we’re not blowing teams away but there’s no reason why we can’t win the 9 left, it’s the last 3 games ? It’s the best judge of what form we’re in and it’s ok, think everyone’s needs a reset, fans and players,We haven't won away from home for ages. If we don't address that our home form might not be enough.
There's also a reason no one publishes a 3 game form table, because it's too small a sample to be meaningful.
No we haven’t but we haven’t been as good as the first 1/3rd of the season. They are two different things.
There have been very few matches where we have been totally outplayed.
yep - needs to improve. But 23 points from 15 away games (Ipswich 16 from 13). Need to regroup and go again. Ideally with Frank the Tank.Weve won 0 from the last 7 away though , which is where weve lost ground at the top

Gurney has his heart in the right place but you don’t tune in to hear his footballing insights let’s be honest.
He’s a fan with a microphone ….
It's extremely unlikely that we win every remaining home game. We will need to win at least some away games and tomorrow is one of the better opportunities to do that. West Brom not far away either is another one, but there's a lot of very tricky away fixtures in the form of Hull, Sheff Utd, Watford etc.Our home forms the best in the league, we’re not blowing teams away but there’s no reason why we can’t win the 9 left, it’s the last 3 games ?

My gut feeling is we'll win the next 3 and Restore at least a 6 point gap to Boro. We'll then manage/maintain that gap until the end of the season.Draw at Charlton was probably fair but really should have won the other two.
My gut feeling hasn't changed anyway. Will be knocked off the top on the 16th, out of the top two by March but should surely have enough to secure a playoff spot. Won't rule out being overtaken by Hull either who are defying xG like nobody's business.
If that happens happy days. I think Boro will come here and score a hatful as we commit everybody forward while nervously advancing the ball at a snail's pace. Like Ipswich but worse.My gut feeling is we'll win the next 3 and Restore at least a 6 point gap to Boro. We'll then manage/maintain that gap until the end of the season.
We have such a good record against Boro that they are going to beat us a some stage ,there again every season we think this will finally win at Preston.If that happens happy days. I think Boro will come here and score a hatful as we commit everybody forward while nervously advancing the ball at a snail's pace. Like Ipswich but worse.
It's also about confidence as much as tactics. We looked good in parts against Millwall and Lesta, but wide open in others. Boro will punish that big time.We have such a good record against Boro that they are going to beat us a some stage ,there again every season we think this will finally win at Preston.
taking the lead in 4 out of 5 away games and winning none of them has cost a considerable number of points on its own
When we've taken the lead we've continued committing loads of players forward, in my view needlessly. We tweaked things against Lesta and got a better balance between attacking threat and being more solid in midfield.this is the biggest thing for me. fine being aggressive from the outset because like you've pointed out, it's working (we take the lead). if we can't turn those leads into points, there's a problem and it needs to be addressed. big test tmrw.
Ferguson was just a bully and Clough probably pissed most of the timeI’d have loved to see Gurney do an opinion piece on Man U or Nottingham Forest and then interview Ferguson or Clough the next day
Cloughie would've been in your back garden rather than the press conferenceI’d have loved to see Gurney do an opinion piece on Man U or Nottingham Forest and then interview Ferguson or Clough the next day

I mean you shared the story but OKGlad you follow my life story so closely it was front for context
It’s pretty obvious what Lampard thinks of him.To be honest if I was Lampard and that idiot came to interview me after that I’d tell him to fuck off

I think we're a top 6 side who did far better than expected, now a top 6 side doing worse than expected. If we could just perform roughly in line with our playing strength we'd get over the line.Conversely, Frank is also right by saying the run of form we had was unsustainable and we were never going to keep walloping teams 3 and 4 without reply
Ipswich should be where we are, I think everyone deep down thinks thatI think we're a top 6 side who did far better than expected, now a top 6 side doing worse than expected. If we could just perform roughly in line with our playing strength we'd get over the line.

Adding Armstrong and Sarmiento to their first XI makes it closer for me, along with having the best CM in the league in Hackney. The difference between the sides in a few weeks won't be ability though, it'll be confidence and energy. They just have much more of it plus a manager willing to adapt to what's in front of him.Ipswich should be where we are, I think everyone deep down thinks that
But I think we have a better side than Boro and the rest of the Top 6 on paper
I mean you shared the story but OK
I think really some fans are projecting their own feelings about gurney to justify lampard being rude/ short in recent interviewsIt’s pretty obvious what Lampard thinks of him.
