    When The Going Gets Tough...

    I just know that if we do lose Monday, I am steering well clear of here for at least 24 hours. Going to be so unpleasant. Luckily, I fancy our chances, so hopefully it won't come to fruition.

    Hull were absolutely flying. Bristol best them at Hull last game out and Millwall are going well again. Just 6 points behind us We are at that stage of the season where all the games can be tough.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Birmingham will be tough. Leicester should have a new manager in place and are now desperate for points. All the others, could be difficult fixtures for them too.

    Would be lovely to go 2 goals up, so we can sing "top of the league, you're having a laugh" at them

    Only ever been to West Brom twice. First one was 0-0 and a dour game and the second, they beat us 7-1 and Regis was unstoppable.

    Even if we play really well, but lose and are very unlucky? Awful penalty decision, really unlucky deflection? Wouldn't be justified then, surely? I would think it's only justified if we don't perform and are poor.

    This for me too. If we play really well, but draw, that would give me confidence for the games to come and WBA away. We need a good performance whatever. Win, draw, or lose. Whatever the outcome we need to know the team put in their best performance.

    People also said Bristol City are the ones to watch out for, when they had their little storm up the table. Then it was Watford. "Watford will make the top 2." Then it was Hull The point is, things change. Boro are now looking really good. That's undeniable. Teams we thought might threaten...

    Yup Some of these are very good players Are we just expecting them to keep playing under par for the rest of the season? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Form comes and goes. Unfortunately, MVE, Torp and Rudoni, who were looking top players earlier on, now are playing like shadows of themsleves.

    We will have to agree to disagree. He was just the sort of player we were saying we needed. Let's see what happens on Monday.

    Yeah, if we are going to get two players sent off for violent conduct, it might as well be kids. 👍🏻

    The two fullbacks are often caught out right up the other end of the pitch, so we do throw them forwards

    No, not at all. Disagree He's played international football and it n the top leagues in Germany and England. He comes with pedigree. We don't actually have to change that much. We have been kamikaze like throwing bodies forward and leaving gaps at the back and we have lacked energy and a...

    Agreed. Do that and we will suffer.

    Let's see what FTT can add. Or are we writing him off too? 1 player CAN change a team's fortunes. We have been crying out for a player like him and so many people have been saying it's been down to tactics as to why we have been struggling so much. We are not going to play exactly the same...

    Sheff Utd had a number of very good chances and could have easily got something out of that game

    I agree. I have been saying for some time that we have to pick up points away. Otherwise we are going nowhere.
