Do we have a chance?

One ticket left in C8 if anyone wants to get to the game on Saturday.
Unreal to see a queue on the ticket website for a league game.

They played exactly as anyone who's watched a Bruce team before would expect them to, keep it tight first half and hope for a chance on the counter then give it a go with percentage balls into the box for half an hour and if it hasn't worked go back to the tight defensive shape and hope to hang and maybe sneak another on the counter. By backing 5-10 yards deeper they gifted us the game because Grealish, having struggled to control the game until then, suddenly started bossing things and we ripped them apart 4-5 times in the last 10 minutes, with the 2 goals being a result of that pressure.

It exposed just how poor Bruce is because how could you work with Grealish for 2 years and not realise that letting him turn and get his head up is a really fucking bad idea. It's his paint-by-numbers approach to tactics that has led to him failing every time he's had a chance in the premier league and is why we didn't go up ahead of Cardiff or Fulham last year.

Nail on head paul_e!!!

10 more points to our total and we'd still have a cracking chance of 2nd place.

Frustrating when you think of all the points we dropped in very winnable games in December-February.

If Jack hadn't been out for 13 games we'd be in there at minimum a point or two off. Of course didn't help that our defence was awful and broken down for a good while also. It is what it is. We're the best of the rest as it stands. We need to make it count.

6 games ago we were 13 points behind Boro and now look at us. Anything is possible in this crazy league.

Hopefully this is a bit more than a wobble from the stripeys. We're still going to need them to drop 4 points, and I'd sooner have their run-in than ours.

Maybe Dazvillain can curse them with one of his predictions like he did for 'boro!

Results not really going for us tonight.  No doubts Derby will scramble one in in the 97th minute.

Other results are irrelevant. It's in our hands.

Very true.  Take care of our own business.  It's nervy but exciting at the same time.

Derby and Preston results are, results overall are meh. Saturday was unusually fortuitous. As ads says there will be good and bad nights if we keep winning it won’t matter.

[SoccerHQ]

Derby in not winning their tricky away games shock, they'll struggle to even get to 70 points. Been poor since January like clockwork at this level.

Win tomorrow and we'll have 5 point buffer to 7th which is good position to be at this late stage.

Not half. Can't wait for Saturday, and we've still got tomorrow to get through first.

That might be between me and my daughter. Wouldn’t recommend it.
