I don't want to tempt fate - although fate is past it and proper shit nowadays - but I think we can win the next two. We are exactly the kind of side that managers like MON and Pulis don't know what to do with. I apologise for the now inevitable defeats.

Who knows mate.  We are as bad as we are good.  Christ knows what to make of us!!

At our best, i.e. with Grealish, we can beat every team in this division. We can obviously lose 3-0 against them all too. All of which means I agree 100%!

Our record v Boro is bizzare. Think the last time we beat them in a home game was 2005. Yet we take the mick up there every year.

We're long overdue a home win against them.

Hard to judge us based on last 2 games.
I still have concerns that we are not playing well enough and have too many weaknesses to put the sort of run together we need to hit 6 th place.
wings particularly Albert who was anonymous again yesterday, Ghazi shows patches but infrequently.
Tammy is the only consistent goal scorer
defensive midfield remains a problem.
Fullbacks Elmo who had a spell of giving the ball away again and Taylor who did ok yesterday is still Taylor.
There are just too many problems to solve and why we have come up short already..

Ipswich drawing at Bristol City is pretty good for us.

Not convinced Derby will beat Stoke at home either.

Big few days ahead.

I refuse to look at the table.
I refuse to get drawn in.
I refuse to get my hopes up when we have left it too late and we’ll only be disappointed again.
I refuse. I refuse. I refuse.


Bloody hell, it’s closer than I thought.

Those dropped points could be massive for us and Bristol City. So important that we take advantage against Forest.

Sheffield Wednesday have crept up, but they seldom beat anybody but the bottom six.

They also have after we've battered them, Forest, Leeds, Norwich and Bristol.

The "it's the hope that kills you" trope is a load of self pitying bollocks peddled by smug stripey media whores like Skinner and Childs.

Fuck that for a game of soldiers. Hope never killed anyone.

I used to have the hots for Hope Sandoval and then she married that spotty wassock from the Jesus and the Mary Chain. Oh well.

We are now 14/1 with Sky Bet to get promoted (joint 6th favourites). A week ago we were 33/1. Things can change quickly.

We need to put a run together and to do that we need to stop conceding so many goals. The Small Heath game was another positive in that respect. Conceding just one goal in the last three games against three sides who have some decent strikers is a start.
