Just looked at the table and yes we are right in this - well done to the team and managers for turning this ship around
Yup, it's been a fabulous change of fortunes.Just looked at the table and yes we are right in this - well done to the team and managers for turning this ship around
People been saying that since the end of August. They are there for a reasonJust had a look at the table myself , I think Blackburn will fall away so there’s a chance
I thought the same but then they go and win at WBA and I wonder ?Just had a look at the table myself , I think Blackburn will fall away so there’s a chance
Yup, it's been a fabulous change of fortunes.
Our defence still really worries me though.
Will just need Wright to make sure he helps us score more than the opposition each week, so the awful goals we concede, won't matter
preston next, if we beat them and then sheaf and haji to come back into the mix, woof, very interesting.
We do look like an accident waiting to happen at times though.We've conceded 4 goals in 7 league games and 2 of those were against Leeds.
Not bad going atcyhe back.
yeah woof, in an optimistic nature. WOOF.Woof?
The difference I have noticed is when our opponents attack we spend more time running back to pack out the penalty area than trying to stop them getting to the area. Not good on the old ticker but it's working.We do look like an accident waiting to happen at times though.
Like today, Sheff Weds scored one, but really should have had several more.
No not really,it was just an inevitability around that squad all the way,or maybe it is.I’ve had a few - but doesn’t the amount of “lucky” games seen similar to 22/23?
Like when I tell our labrador we're going out for a walk?yeah woof, in an optimistic nature. WOOF.
Absolutely this. I'll put my hands up as one of those berks who thought it was virtually season over before Xmas, we'll most likely stay up but it'll be months of nicking points here and there with the last month or so meh nothing to play for. Leeds asside, the recent run of league wins is nothing short of brilliant and hats off to Lampard, his staff and obviously the players for turning this season on its head and giving us some hope again. While the defence has improved, a fair bit down to Dovin, I do wish we'd perhaps brought in some resilliance there as it's often on a knife edge. We can score goals but it's like worrying about my roof when it rains.Yup, it's been a fabulous change of fortunes.

i dont know what to think anymore, very interesting!preston next, if we beat them and then sheaf and haji to come back into the mix, woof, very interesting.
Said on another thread but how many goals have we conceded recently that haven't been as a direct individual mistake, own goal or dodgy refereeing decision? Not many. Since Norwich when I'd say the run started we've shipped 12 goals most of which were pretty unlucky in my book.Yup, it's been a fabulous change of fortunes.

Sunderland have basically got 2 months of nothing to play for football. They are pretty much guaranteed to finish 4th. Whoever they play will be battle hardened after the fight for 5th and 6th. Really hope we play them in the semi if we make it.The next 3 matches are ones we will need to try to keep up our current form as we then get the tricky 3 of Sunderland Sheff Utd and Burnley. So 3 good results before keep our form and confidence and see what happens against Sunderland
Spoke too soonif Sheff united beat Leeds that will go in our favour as can’t see Leeds losing 2 on the bounce and they have WBA on Saturday
Sunderland are not as good as the table suggests. They've been struggling lately and have now lost one of if not their best player, Le Fee, to injury. Ballard also picked up an injury in the home defeat to Hull. We're also at home. I don't see it as an unlikely win.We'll probably drop points in the next few games, against the form book, then pick up an unlikely win against Sunderland/Sheff Utd/Burnley.
It rarely goes exactly true to form.
6-7 points from the next three, and then an optimistic 3pts from the harder three matches, would be 10 pts from 6, and would keep us firmly in it.
We were far superior to Sheffield U at the CBS,, without a manager.Sunderland are not as good as the table suggests.

But spot on with Sheffield United and Burnley. They are going to be a real test on how far forward we have come with Lampard. I think we will be points clear of 7th before these games. 0-0 against Burnley wouldn't be a surprise
Not necessarily. We could finish 5th and an in form 6th place team like Norwich, Boro or West Brom could beat them over 2 legs.We were far superior to Sheffield U at the CBS,, without a manager.
Played crap at Burnley (also without a manager) but only narrowly lost.
if we want to go up, we’re going to have to beat one of these in the final.
