I do have to question some of Hughton's decisions away from home. Bong / Skalak down the left? I don't get the logic, neither would appear to suit each others style either.
Im so used to crushing disappointment in the play offs that I am meekly following the game via this thread. We don't turn up for the big games, injuries or suspensions aside. From what I am reading on here it's more of the same, I'd rather detach myself from it than get worked up in the same way...
I seem to remember us racing out the blocks like Sheffield Wednesday have done when we played Derby the last time we were in the play offs. We lost that game, only the superior team can keep that tempo but. We have quality in abundance on the break.
My friend was moaning about him earlier in the season for being 'ineffective'. I said to him look at the running he does, his work off the ball is second to none. He may not be prolific but I still think there are more goals to come from him no doubt.
Not liking this at all... We are too touchy touchy in the knowledge we are winning but could push on for more. No fluidity in our play and letting Charlton get into the game.
Away at Birmingham he seemed unable to beat his man or know what to do when Bruno had the ball. He also looks like he needs to put on half a stone. I think his crosses are a fantastic asset and with someone like Hemed in the box its a real blessing. Its a real shame Zamora isn't fit and would be...
Bolton have nothing to lose I think these are by far the trickiest games in this divison. Boro under enormous pressure and the opposition must feel like a weight is off their shoulders in some way. I was more worried about the Fulham game, QPR and Charlton than the Derby/Boro games. We have to...
I think you lot will win the league and we will finish second with Burnley dropping points in their next 3 games. Their run has to come to an end and they have not been playing well. If this scenario comes true then the two best footballing teams will be going up in the automatic positions.
This result has no impact on my hopes of us going up, nor should it impact us as a team. In fact I am quite happy if Borough win all their remaining games, I think they will go up as champions. Its Burnley that are most likely to slip up here. Their style is one dimensional and they have just...
My mindset is not to focus on Middlesborough, as odd as that may sound. I know they are a better side than Burnley and they have had their blip. I could see them winning even game until the end of the season, however I can't see that from Burnley and I can see us remaining unbeaten with a couple...
I think our quality will carry us over the line with Middlesborough. We really can finish in the top 2 here. These next 2 games are absolutely massive. Two home games for us whilst Burnley who have been just about getting the points have Birmingham away and the Middlesborough. I think Burnley...
Start at Home bench Away, simple. I'd go for Skalak on the other side. Be great to get Zamora back would have a field day in this league off those crosses!
