Fair result, but some encouraging signs after the subs. Didn't like how we played before that though, lots of cheap fouls and desperate lunges. West Brom is a big game, need a good atmosphere and hopefully the Wallace factor will guarantee one.
I canned it after 30 mins yesterday but I should have said Norwich were excellent. Luckily no damage was done as other teams around us didn’t get results either. Really the games against Preston last week, Norwich yesterday and Hull in 2 weeks won’t keep us up. The 6 pointers we have against Huddersfield, Sheffield Wednesday, Swansea and Plymouth will.
I struggle to see Leeds stumbling from here. I think if we are going to make top two we need to win 7/8 of our final games and hope Leicester have a wobble
I think it’s still fairly equal chances between us tbh. We’ve had a run of playing relegation candidates and have some harder fixtures coming up now.
I think the top 6 now is probably the top 6 that finishes. Of course Ipswich might want to throw a couple of games to avoid us based on comments i've seen from their fanbase.
Yeh very much even between us and Ipswich, incredibly similar records to date and similar fixtures to go (if anything our are marginally harder). Let’s see who can win the most games. Leicester with the advantage with the game in hand and a slightly more favourable fixture list
Think there are a lot more twists and turns left for the top 4. Southampton only have to win a couple on the spin to be right back in the frame, and having to play the other teams could be a blessing if they can take 3 points off the others. Suspect we'll start to see some strange results off of everyone as nerves start to impact performances.
The fact that Leicester were so far clear and could genuinely not go up would make it one of the biggest bottle jobs this division has ever seen. Fair play to Leeds and Ipswich for reducing the deficit so much.
In this Championship this week, there were no games in which both teams scored: Swansea 0 Cardiff 2 Birmingham 0 Watford 1 Ipswich 6 Sheffield Wednesday 0 Middlesbrough 0 Blackburn 0 Plymouth 0 Preston 1 Rotherham 0 Huddersfield 0 Stoke 0 Norwich 3 Sunderland 0 QPR 0 West Brom 2 Bristol City 0 Leeds 2 Millwall 0 Maybe that happens quite regularly, but seems a bit unusual.
We’ve been wobbling all month. I don’t normally like international breaks but this one is an exception, hopefully we can get our mojo back.
We managed ok without Whiteman who has ankle ligament damage, even Ledson stepped up. Doubt we'll see Whiteman again this season. Potts was also rushed back and got injured within ten minutes, Osmajic went off injured, and Browne is out too. Riis was ill, i think? We're certainly being tested right now. Nice to see Layton Stewart step up and be counted. I think Plymouth will be the ones to drop.
We should have Vardy back, hopefully Ricardo too, I'm really hoping to see the introduction of Braybrooke and Alves to our midfield bench spots both are highly talented
