Like they did with Swansea they have the capability to seriously punish teams. But they also draw far too many games. Out of the past 8 they've only lost once, but 4 of those have been draws.

Yeah granted certainly have the squad to turn it around and go on a run but based on recent showings I'd be surprised. They'll have to get at least 20 points from the next 10 to be within a shot of reaching the POs. Big ask given who they've got coming up.

Not sure Norwich are that much of a threat tbh. Their form has been pretty average over the past 6-10 games and their run in isn't great.

Yep, you physically can't do that against the better sides in the division. Stoke and Oxford have really struggled in front of goal recently yet we've shipped two goals a piece against both. The run we're on is brilliant and I don't want to take anything away from it but we 100% need to cut out...

Thought Kitching was an absolute warrior today. Won the physical battle time and again and made some really important clearances.

It didn't sound like either injuries were overly severe to me.

They've got a good squad but they've been terrible for too long to warrant that level of a turnaround. It's only really Bristol and West Brom that pose any kind of threat to us. Millwall have an outside chance as well if their form continues. Norwich and Watford too inconsistent, as...

The same Middlesbrough who have lost 7 out of the last 10?

Yep. All being well he should be back after the international break.

Certainly better than some of the diagnoses shared on here by the self-proclaimed specialists. At one point I was starting to think he might well lose his whole arm.

He was frustrating at times. His ability on the ball was poor and his heading from memory was borderline comical as the ball would often go in every direction other than the one intended. Overall he was solid though. Fair play to him he's had a decent career since moving away from Brighton...

That is a wild accusation given some of the shit they've signed in recent years. Their record ever signing Giannelli Imbula played 28 times for them. He once subbed himself off because someone didn't pass him the ball during a pre-season game. I doubt Michael Rose is in the top 50 of their...

No I'm just not a brainless happy clapper that clearly dribbled over the promo vid and I actually watch games.

What do I need to learn? He's looked pretty awful in his brief spells thus far. He cost us a goal vs Preston and him falling over the ball vs Oxford led to a threatening cross by Brannagan which led to the corner where they nearly equalised. Hardly a great start. I wasn't overly enthused about...

Agreed. Decent defensive ability but his use of the ball was genuinely appalling.

Certainly not. Will be interesting to see how the midfield copes without Rudoni. If we control the midfield we win the game as their defence isn't good enough to be facing any kind of sustained pressure.

It's one we should be getting three points from really. They have one of the worst 'goals away' records in the league with only 12 scored thus far. Only Plymouth and Oxford have posted worse numbers. They've also only managed three wins over the course of the season. Their only away win over...

Is it? Didn't he literally fall over the ball when attempting to trap it late on vs Oxford. Granted he's been out the game a while but he's struggling with pretty basic fundamentals which I find slightly concerning. I think if anything off the pace at this stage is probably an understatement.

I was a big O'Hare fan and thought he offered so much more than just an attacking outlet. His ability off the ball was a huge help. But it's clear that Rudoni's ceiling is so much higher than O'Hare's was when he was 23. Like you said his game is so much more well-rounded and he's got more...

Looks like they've got a few players potentially back from injury/illness for this one. Hoping having Rudoni out doesn't derail us too much. Big ask to replace his creativity from existing options in midfield but need to find a way to play without him. Stoke have been dreadful away from home...
