I think a draw would be a good result. A win, on the other hand, would be a real marker. If we could go to a team like Birmingham and win in front of the cameras, it would be huge.

Norwood has come in to the side and we've won two out of two (with two of his set pieces leading to goals last night). I don't understand why he gets a bit of criticism on here. As others have said he's a great option to have. When you look back to last season, what would have happened if we'd...

When we played them in the cup, they had such a good team with players like Young, Delph, Sidwell, Downing and Milner. Since O'Neill left and Lerner lost interest they've been on a steady decline. I still think they'll make the play offs but it is going to require an exceptional run for them to...

Agreed. I actually think they would have beaten us if they started with Ayew and/or Grealish. Both made a big impact off the bench while Agbonlahor did nothing for an hour.

Agreed. Also it looks like being a home 3pm Saturday kick off. That is such a rare thing these days so might attract more than usual as a result

Hopefully we'll have more points after Tuesday than we had in mid January last season

There are major differences to last year though: 1) We hadn't won by more than one goal all season whereas our goal difference is very good this season 2) While we have the same points as last season now, we had only won 5 of the last 13 with a lot of draws. This followed a brilliant start...

Agree on both counts. Think he would be exactly what we need but don't see them selling to us.

It was early in the Duffy/Dunk partnership. Since that game, we've conceded 5 in 14 games. What an amazing defence!

Yeah, Met Line isn't great! Hope Jersey Boys was worth it!

I worry that their blip was the last couple of games and they are back on it after yesterday. If they are going to have one, I think it will be January when they lose a couple of players to the African Nations Cup and could lose Shelvey too if he's found guilty.

Stupid thread to post for two reasons. One being nothing is won in December as many others have said. Secondly, it is ridiculous to say we should wield the axe as it is disrespectful to players who are currently trying to get us promoted and, with a 25 man squad, you need a basis of at least...

The idea that Leeds are moaning about the way we play and sportsmanship is hilarious. They are generally the most cynical and dirty team in the league.

To be fair, Newcastle have Mitrovic. I think they'd be okay.

I don't know why you are obsessed with that. To do a fair test, you need to take away the highest amount scored by all teams. It is an irrelevant stat. The facts are we are second and have comfortably the best defensive record in the league. We have also scored sixth most in the league (as...

I agree with this. Obviously I've only seen Reading once this season but after 20 games you aren't in a false position (and you are 4 points clear of fourth too). We were in a false position according to many this time last season and ended up only goal difference away from promotion.

Think it is encouraging that we have two really good options. This time last season we had to play Calde at left back. As great as he was for the club, we now have two great options for the position. I think I would stick with Pocognoli for now. The more games he plays, the better he should get...

Middlesbrough didn't score a lot last season but went up due to their brilliant defence. I think we will invest in a striker in January as we won't want to miss out on top two but we're doing fine at the moment as it is.

I assume he is. I don't think you can justify giving the goal if you send the player off anyway.

I think you are missing the point. At the moment, if the ball is going in and you handball it, you are sent off and it is a penalty. You gambled and lost. Under your scheme, you handball on the line when it goes in and you lose nothing. It is a goal anyway but there is also a chance the referee...
