  1. what fixture list are you looking at? 4 of our next 6 are at home. Surely you can't be expecting them to drop points at home to Sheffield Wednesday? We're going to have to win there whatever happens in order to get a points swing on them. Same with Leeds and Leicester. We just have to keep winning, one slip up and it could all be over but equally, we could be right in the mix still in 3 weeks time
  2. crazy schedule now for April. Imagine if a team like Liverpool got given this for a PL run in, you'd never hear the end of it. Too many games now in such a short space of time, especially considering we probably need to win 8 from 10 to have a chance of automatics. Not much we can do now, but will need some perspective if we win a few then get battered 5-0 after some rotation.
  3. very nervous for this one. Despite our incredible run we still need to keep winning as Leeds have a very easy run of fixtures now. Have watched City a few times as local, they are playing better under Manning, but quite honestly no one from their starting 11 gets in ours. But they are hardworking. It is vital we are out the blocks quick like we were at Swansea. I think the run comes to an end Friday but tonight will be a hard fought 2-1 win.
  4. confirmed by Fabrizio as going ahead, loan with buy option. Bit unexpected, he's clearly got potential but I don't think Martin is a huge fan. Whilst he seems popular with fans, he still seems to give the ball away the most. It may seem like a blow at this late stage, but I think we can cope with this.
  5. Martin trying to play it safe, best we can hope for is a draw, sadly. Strange to be seeing all the hate for Smallbone on various social media, when just a few weeks ago most of the fanbase seemed delighted we had not sold him, followed by signing a new contract.
  6. Leicester levels above us. season is over, we will win enough games but promotion is gone, we are so far off
  7. Great start for him, but then we know what he can do having been playing in a terrible team for a few seasons. He can still be a legend at West Ham, all this nonsense about how he should have stayed; seriously, give it up. Good luck to him, move on.
  8. great to just see us playing with a bit if energy. Loved just see Bednarek drive forward then in 2 passes we were in on goal; refreshing to see after several years of slow tempo sideways passing. KWP seems to have checked out already, can see Fulham or similar coming in with a late bid for him. I've changed my opinion on Adams and Tella, we absolutely have to keep them. A nervy couple of weeks now, especially given that we know clubs are making bids on them.
  9. It's getting frustrating and of course the club is working on things, but we are losing time here in sorting out our squad. With the players we have available we are not at the lebel to challenge for automatic promotion, and I'd be surprised if we beat Plymouth tomorrow. There's some huge games in September and we could be playing catch up by then. My understanding is Che to Everton is pretty much a done deal. It's disappointing, but equally he could get goals to get us up but we know he can't quite cut it in the PL.
  10. We need to get a move on in this transfer window. There's potential to challenge, but right now this team is miles off it. We're going to make it really tough for ourselves by not winning any of the next 4-5 games
  11. why would he stay though? He'll still have an eye on the Euros, although it's unlikely. Why do we expect him to stay? the only players who stay at one club forever are the likes of Mark Noble, as no one better actually want them. It's almost as ridiculous as saying Tino should stay because the medical staff looked after him so well so he 'owes us' I'm gutted he's gone, like most of us. It's mainly the young twitter brigade amongst us who cant handle it as they've only been following since 2010. I thought we would let Lavia go, and keep JWP. We just have to trust Wilcox has a plan in place. Give him his emotional farewell speech and free kick reel, then move on
  12. really worrying, a massive gap to fill with Lavia and JWP gone. Got to keep the faith that Wilcox has a decent replacement lined up.
  13. It looks good at the end, but would have been so disappointing to draw that. We know what the Martin playbook is all about, we will struggle for sure against teams sitting back if Armstrong was leading the line. Defensively we looked ok, although not really tested. And how good was Stu Armstrong when he came on? That was more like 3 years ago. Never had pace but always looking to drive forward. Created a couple of openings and a couple of shots. The way we saw out injury time was almost faultless. Positive signs, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. Got to get to the end of the window first. There will be some frustrating games undoubtedly, but on that showing plenty of promise to show we currently have the tools to challenge for promotion this season.
  14. Can't see too many departures from our starting 11 from last night. The commentary team and pundits are suggesting we may lose half our team. Wilcox has already shown we won't just accept anything. I think we will be happy getting near £100m for Lavia/Tino/Salisu/DCC. Would be surprised if we let the likes of KWP, Tella and Adams go after last night's showing. Tall Paul and Sulemana will likely leave but they are both forgettable. A new striker and cb needed. We will have some problems though if JWP leaves late in the window.
  15. I actually forgot about it, as Che wheeled of he had that look that he had just seen a flag or something. No need any more for that hesitancy every time a goal goes in. Some decisions will go against us but so what, they still get them wrong even with VAR.
