A fantastic point today. Well done Poyet and the team.

[Marxo]

This is only the second season (since our glory days) that we've been getting the gates of a 'big' team, many of the other teams in this division have either been in the premier league recently or have been getting big gates for a lot longer than we have. Because of this those clubs have a better chance of paying a better quality keeper to sit on the bench. We do have some quality on the bench but not for every single position. This is the reality of the situation and we're having a very decent season in spite of it all.

Explain as I am quite thick.

Forest are our rivals. they have still to play Leicester, and are not as good as us. We SHOULD have won if Poyet had allowed the lads to keep goinf forward to relieve pressure on out shakey defense.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Sorry to be stupid but I am looking at the bigger picture and not getting hysterical about a very good point today. Leicester are our rivals now. It is us or Leicester now. Let Forest go and do their thing.

It's not just about reaching the playoffs. It's about who we might get to play in the playoffs. That goal might be the one that condemns us to play Watford home and away, rather than Palace. And I know which will be the easiest route to Wembley.

We will beat either so whats the problem ?

 

[Dominoid]

Admirable sentiment, but "fantastic" is definitely overstating it. Good, but disappointing, point. People do need to wind in the abuse a bit.

I agree with this statement. A point would have been very pleasing before the match, but after the position we were in, it's actually a little disappointing. It's not the end of the world and I'm still happy to get the point and 6th place in the table, but we could have had 5th so I could be happier.

Really? I think Watford will be a real challenge, over 180 minutes.

 

[Mackenzie]

IF we make the play offs, I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up playing Forest in the semi-final.......I can see something like this happening:

Cardiff 87
Hull 80
Watford 77
Forest 74
Brighton 72
Crystal Palace 72

No worries at all Lord.

 

[Sheebo]

It's a gd point for sure esp with perfect results elsewhere. Annoying to concede so late in the fashion we did but with a depleted squad we competed well. Positive.

 

[grummitts gloves]

The fact that we didn't get all 3 points after going 2-1 up against a team who are on a great run is exactly why the result is so disappointing because nothing is guaranteed in this division. I don't see how you can say a point today in the circumstances is ok because neither Charlton or Leicester will be a nailed on 3 points.

There's been some crazy results in this league this season, so you've got to maximise your chances. We nearly did today except for a horrendous error by our goalie. I know individual players make mistakes now and again, but that's exactly why Gus got P.I.G. because the other 2 have cost us a fair few points between them when they've played.

Our shaky defence that has the best record in the division?

 

[Napper]

When I am positive I get slagged off.
When I am negative I get slagged off.

Hey, ho.

Don't take it personally mate . Different opinions and venting about each other is all part of the fun.

I'm sure you are a decent bloke, all a bit of fun isnt it

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Making it difficult AGAIN

 

[Barrel of Fun]

It's a decent point. If it wasn't, we would have heard from Withdean Wanderer by now.

 

[Willy Dangle]

Great point today good performance

 

[portslade seagull]

Looking at the remaining fixtures, I believe it is between us and Leicester. And even if we lose the match against them, I think we could still be in with a chance as their run in is tough.

Can't see us losing another game it just depends on how many we win, there seems to be more of a resolve now and Ulloa is what we have been missing since that bloke went to Cp

Forest 74

Crystal Palace 72

I would now predict a final table like this:-

91 Cardiff City
84 Hull City
------------------------------------
79 Watford
77 Crystal Palace
72 Nottingham Forest
71 Brighton & Hove Albion
------------------------------------
69 Leicester City
64 Bolton Wanderers
64 Middlesbrough
62 Millwall

What did you see as being our 11 points from the remaining seven?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Trying to predict correctly in this league is as good as impossible ...not looking beyond hopefully an enjoyable game on Tuesday

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Quite.

We were handling their attacks really well and keeping them to shots from outside the box. Just unlucky a weak shot was fumbled. Gus did nothing wrong.
