Dan™ Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 It's an odd season. We're getting some great results without ever seeming to play at the same level of quality/intensity teams like WBA, Leeds, Brentford, and Fulham have been doing on an almost weekly basis. That said, we deservedly beat Brentford, could have easily beat Leeds if it wasn't for a post, were unlucky to lose to a last-minute penalty away at WBA and got a fair draw against Fulham. We're playing the percentages game and coming out on top more often than not it seems. I can see one or two of the above sides beginning to tire as the season goes on a well, I doubt they can all keep it going all year. We've got a great chance of making the play-offs at least, especially when Leeds' inevitable end of season collapse kicks into full flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's few high points as a football fan. You have to enjoy the fleeting moments when they happen. Whatever happens come what may, I'll be enjoying my Christmas breakfast knowing we're sat up there, even if it is just for the time being. Enjoying the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan™ Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Middlesbrough, Derby, Forest, Birmingham, Stoke and QPR - 6 of the top 8 teams still in the league from last season - only Forest are still challenging in the top half and even they look to be on shaky ground. A couple of them are in serious relegation trouble this time out as well. Mad league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Good result against a tricky side. Penalty was a gift, but we more than deserved the win on the balance of play. 3rd at Christmas is a great achievement. Ironically the threat of a points deduction somehow seems to be lowering expectations which is then reducing pressure...I feel like it’s almost helping us at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did read somewhere that one of the issues with FFP is that inevitably it will reduce the quality of the division, as teams are less willing to fork out for better players. That was from me in my rant against the EFL, so must be true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Interesting that despite being inconsistent, often unconvincing and chucking away some ridiculous points we've actually performed better than dem Blavdes did in the first half of last season. I'd settle for merely matching their record rather than beating it for the next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I've just realised how surprisingly soon the Leeds away game is, it's only 4 league matches away. If we can get maximum points from the next 3 very winnable games and they slip up a couple of times (they've got Preston at home followed by Birmingham and WBA away) that could be very interesting.

It won’t be very interesting once the points deduction is applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
