The only team we have to concern ourselves with is us. As stated on another thread no more excuses

In other news, I don't resent them at all but what an absolute miracle it was that Leicester won the league last year


They look like what they are. A hard working fairly average side. I do think with some bad luck and a reduction in confidence, plus champions league to contend with, they could get sucked into a relegation fight

I was about to add and they should have cashed in on Vardy as he looks a one season wonder to me, then he scores!!

Scored seven in his last seven and a half games so not looking a one season wonder at present.

The choice wasn't theirs to make - he turned down the move away.

That was the worst home  celebration of a goal to make Liverpool 3-1 up I've seen since the Emirates.

11 points behind the leaders.  We really could do with six points in these two games.

Definitely agree. But I have to say, what I've seen of the championship is pretty mediocre. With the players we've brought in, we should be capable of mounting a strong promotion push once we sort the mentality out

We're the only ones so far to have halted the Huddersfield express, 'kin 'ell. And Barnsley (joint) second!

Yep, we need to win these two home games, which we should, to give a platform. Ipswich will be equally vital to set aside the away day hoodoo.

9 from 9 would be excellent and put us in good stead after 8 games.

Not fussed about being 12 behind Huddersfield. They looked shite for an hour and we battered them senseless. On another night we'd have been 4 or 5 up. Kodjia and Adomah provide additional fire power, time to use it and stop wasting all these chances.

Got to give credit to rowett with such limited resources.

It's time for RDM and the players to turn our club around. If we don't win tomorrow we'll be stuck in mid table all season and that won't be acceptable after the cash we've spent
