Netanahyou at cntre forward?

GD could yet be the issue that sinks us--a "five goal swing" is actually massive! I hope I'm wrong.

I can't disagree with that last sentence!

We've managed 39 points from 40 games so far i.e. barely one point per game. To get us to your 50 points (or maybe more given, our relatively worse GD) we need a further say 11 or 12 points from just 6 matches i.e. an average of around 2 points per game. A tough enough ask with a team flying full of confidence let alone our current misfiring bunch! I really do hope that you're nearer the mark than me with your calculations, but more than 70 yrs of supporting PV has taught me to be more realistic than optimistic. Having said all that, my fingers (and everything else) firmly crossed that we can celebrate a minor miracle come the season's end!

Loving your optimism!

My comment above referred to their second goal. It wasn't insinuating that we're down. All still to play for, but I do believe we'll need 50 points which obviously means another 11 points in final 6 games. A tough ask from this current team!

I was referring to today's game after concedinthat 2nd goal. Hope still burns (perhaps not quite so brightly), but with hope comes expectations and expectation usually ends up in disappointment!

All over now!!!!

They've just been pegged-back to 1-1

Frustrating, or what!!!!

I don't think we're very far apart in our respective views and you're totally right in your comment regarding the new contract he's signed!

More chances and more shots on target according to the BBC stats. Yet, still we find ourselves behind!

We were always going to require 50 or 51 points. 11/12 points from the last 7 fixtures might have been a possibility. Unless we get at least one point today, 12 from the last 6 games looking a bridge too far!!

Burton have also taken the lead. Not looking good at the moment!

I think we should. If he develops the way I suspect he can, his transfer value and potential earnings will only rise!

I just hope the club isn't too short-sighted and that it won't be necessary to rush into a hasty sale just to balance the books! This lad is definitely a jewel to be cherished and the more experience he gains with us, not only will it help us in the shorter term, but surely the higher his sale value will become?

All of a sudden, there seems to be a fresh energy about the place!

A fair summary and you're totally correct that clubs in the relegation mix are "wanting it more" than mid-table teams. We've got to make sure we keep collecting points from our remaining games and keep fingers crossed that teams around us don't. I too, am annoyed with Barnsley. I had that as a banker home win for my prediction league guess!

Just a pity that Cambridge, Shrewsbury, Cheltenham, Reading & Burton all picked up useful points this afternoon!

Let's just keep it that way. No lack of concentration, no silly defensive mistakes please!

Looking good so far. Let's take more of those chances we're creating!

Missus is going to be suspicious when I get home from the boozer with a big smile on my face!! 🤪😁

Pheeewww!

Kismet!

Get in there! Who needs a new striker now that we've got the Loft goal machine?!! 😁
