No, you should not have started this thread. No, you are wrong that he is clearly not good enough. Akpom is clearly not good enough. Skalak divides opinion but clearly Hughton thinks he's good enough and he has more knowledge than either you or me. So, I'll continue supporting Skalak as long as...
There's a difference between saying a player isn't cutting it and calling them pants. He clearly didn't have a great game yesterday. That is a fair comment (and could have been added to any number of threads on here) but that's not what you said. Sadly it seems to be the way with some of our...
Derby home (one I clearly mentioned in my post) and Norwich home with about three assists off the top of my head. Some of our so called fans seem to want players to fail and it is pathetic in my view.
Posts like this are one of the things I dislike most about NSC. Player has ordinary game so poster comes on here and says they are rubbish (ignoring everything about their previous play). Skalak had a poor game today but has been very good for us since signing. And two games ago against Derby he...
Exactly. I think this is a classic case of how stats can show anything. Apparently, Blackburn haven't won away since November (at Newcastle) and our recent poor form has been largely away from home (only home defeat since mid September is Newcastle).
I don't think anybody thinks it will be easy...
I've gone for 13 points as I think we'll drop a couple at home with one draw (no idea which of the four home games) and win at one of QPR or Wolves while losing at the other and Norwich.
Where that will leave us at the end of the month, I have no idea. Think it will mean it is in our hands...
But it's effectively a 6.5 point lead with goal difference and, even if we lose today, we can afford to lose one more game than Huddersfield across the rest of the season and they have to win their game in hand. Nobody is saying we are there but it is fair to say Leeds is our toughest game for...
I disagree with that. If you offered me the same number of points as Huddersfield from our games this weekend, I'd have been delighted before yesterday's game. Even if we lose today, we've had a good weekend as it's one game nearer promotion and we had a much harder game than Huddersfield.
Sorry, are you saying they should leave seats free in case anyone who went to Gillingham decides they want to come back? Do you want a season ticket and not able to get one? Or are you just looking for an opportunity to moan? Long term supporters were given first chance to buy season tickets at...
Absolutely. I have no doubt we can rely on Bloom. It would be good if supporters showed patience too. If you look at the three promoted teams from last year, Middlesbrough and Hull are both in the bottom three and Burnley are doing pretty well, but they've been up a couple of times in recent...
Agreed. A number of teams who are now regulars in the Premier League (or have been in the past) went up and down a couple of times before consolidating their position. West Brom are a classic example. I think they went up and back down three times and have now become a regular in the Premier...
I think Bristol City is very likely to be moved. Five weeks is next week and I imagine they will announce that Huddersfied, Newcastle and Albion are all being shown live as it is bank holiday weekend (think that is what they did last year with Boro moving to Friday and us and Burnley both...
Not sure they'll go for McClaren but no idea who there is they could go for (same applies for Norwich too). Only manager out of a job at the moment is Pardew and not sure he would be right for either of them. Maybe Norwich will go for Karanka now!
And our goal difference had improved significantly by now (up to 15 or 16) and would pretty much double again before the end of the season. Huddersfield, on the other hand, are third in the league with a goal difference of 8 at this stage of the season. Amazing they've got this far by winning...
I am going for six. If Bruno is also out at the weekend, we'll be down to our last four defenders and Leeds will probably win. Fully expect us to recover with wins against Blackburn and Birmingham at the Amex though. How good that is will depend on the results of Huddersfield and Newcastle in...
Looking at the team that played Friday, even without a few of the above, I was shocked at how awful they were. If you look at their record, they've struggled to score goals all season, which is ridiculous with the attacking players they've got. They have so many options that they could afford to...
