I think we are a different beast now. This is our yearDoes feel like the international break can really put a spanner in the works at times with regards to teams in good/poor form.
I vaguely recall in the past we've been in terrible form going into the break, and then a great run of games afterwards (and vice versa).

We haven't played Blues away - but I get your sentiment.Would love to stuff Wrexham. Two big away wins against the pretenders that have spent a lot of money being shown the way by a proper football club.
Despite their league position I see the Sheff Utd game as the trickiest, styles make matches and we had no reply to theirs last season.If all the games go with form and who has the best players it's 6 wins, but it's football and anything can happen. All we have to do is think as far back as Norwich.
Not too worried about games being away after our last 2 games. Millwall are at a similar level as Stoke and would have been in 2nd if they had beat us yet we won 0-4.
Portsmouth could be the hardest game out of them but don't see us losing to them. Decent defence but don't score enough. They will sit back and let us come at them. They don't have much choice

Didn't he.go to West Brom and now elsewhere?Despite their league position I see the Sheff Utd game as the trickiest, styles make matches and we had no reply to theirs last season.
their team isn't anywhere near as good as it was last season and we play differently this seasonDespite their league position I see the Sheff Utd game as the trickiest, styles make matches and we had no reply to theirs last season.
We just have to play the emotions on the day, maybe, each week?their team isn't anywhere near as good as it was last season and we play differently this season
last season was a lot slower and sideways and this season we are very vertical at times, unlike last season if we can't pass through a team we are happy to go long and over them
Who?Didn't he.go to West Brom and now elsewhere?
I agree, I just see them as being in a false position.their team isn't anywhere near as good as it was last season and we play differently this season
last season was a lot slower and sideways and this season we are very vertical at times, unlike last season if we can't pass through a team we are happy to go long and over them
Styles, sorry.Who?
Ah, I meant playing styles rather than Callum Styles!Styles, sorry.

As I believe a Mr Wilder said last season.their team isn't anywhere near as good as it was last season and we play differently this season

Cabbage face will hopefully be sent packing this timeAs I believe a Mr Wilder said last season.
Blackburn (H)
Pompey (A)
Watford (H)
Wrexham (A)
Sheffield United (H)
Stoke (A)
I do think the unbeaten run goes in this block, some tough away games, but feel we will get all 3 wins from the home games
Pompey and Stoke are difficult places to go
Why is Pompey a difficult place to go (Unless you mean road works or something)
They fluked a lucky 1-0 win over Middlesbrough on Saturday due to a goalkeeping error, otherwise they'd be down around 18th in the league.
They are very much like Millwall, mid table fodder that we should be looking to turn over if we want to get out of this League.
Different kettle of fish this season. Sold their best players and replaced them with players with only League 1 experience. 8 defeats from 9 games. 3 goals for 16 againstDespite their league position I see the Sheff Utd game as the trickiest, styles make matches and we had no reply to theirs last season.
Middlesbrough only had 1 shot on target.Why is Pompey a difficult place to go (Unless you mean road works or something)

Borough had 62% possession and nearly double the XG (if you believe in that nonsense)Middlesbrough only had 1 shot on target.
Millwall would have been in 2nd if they beat us at home.
Love itBorough had 62% possession and nearly double the XG (if you believe in that nonsense)
Millwall didn't beat us though did they, they actually got battered by us because we were wayyy better.
An XG of 0.78 from 62% possessionBorough had 62% possession and nearly double the XG (if you believe in that nonsense)

You do realise that if you apply your own logic, then if Millwall had lost to WBA on Saturday (which was predicted) they'd of been in the bottom half.An XG of 0.78 from 62% possession
If course Millwall didn't beat us. That's my point. They had to play us like other teams near the top of the table have to. If they had beat us they would have been in 2nd yet you called them mid table dross. They then beat WBA 3-0 who are also supposed to be promotion contenders and would have been in 3rd if they beat Millwall.
Yet when we play WBA it will be described as a very difficult game
Boro also play before us at home to Ipswich on the Friday nightjust realised that even if we lose v Blackburn, only Boro can go above us!!!! how mad is that?
