Ok I'll take the two draws, but if farke doesn't change the starting lineup for the next game I'll flip. We were much more dominant with leitner and vrancic on, and ultimately we ran out of time. If he'd made those subs at half time I think we'd have won. Oh well ho hum. Can't complain too much, 4 clear at the top is still great. Also how **** must Buendia be feeling? Unnecessary red card at 3-0 breaks up a winning team and causes 4 dropped points. I hope this is a something moment for him, and I'd rather he learns the consequences of being rash end of this season than beginning of next in the premier. Because I think we need him!
I still think we will be fine. We are still not losing games ,despite not being at our best and have played two relegation haunted teams with everything to play for. I am confident we will have enough to beat two mid table teams without much at stake. I am pretty sure Sheffield United would love to swop places with us
Me too. It's just a good job the Blades have stumbled as well. SW will be tough, as will Stoke away, and that could continue our stumble and possibly risk promotion as well. Leeds and the Blades will be lifted by today's result. We're 4 points ahead of Leeds, but we've dropped 4 points to them in the last two games. Two wins out of the last 4 now required and I just hope it doesn't come down to Villa away in the final match.
Not a lot of love for Cantwell on Canary Call. All his fault apparently. Completely missing the point that the whole team were disjointed and lacklustre for an hour today. One tool said as soon as Cantwell gets subbed, we score Emi clearly walks on water around these parts! (Soon be easter) All credit to battling Wigan for snuffing out Farkeball so successfully
At home, with a win all-but securing promotion, hopefully we turn up! Would like to see changes though. Cantwell has contributed little, McLean hasn't bossed midfield like Vrancic or Leitner can. Farke can't look at the last 180 mins and think there's no way he can improve that side.
Last 2 games have felt like 2 losses at the final whistle. But they weren't, and we are still in a strong position. Trying not to feel too down. Stinker of a performance and wasting too many chances again, is a bit worrying. I really hope Vrancic and Leitner come in for Catwell and Mclean. Steipi is lucky he has a lot in the bank this season, I thought he was really poor for a second game in a row.
Wigan had us turn up on mass and they are fighting for their lives .. On reflection we didn't play well until the 3 subs but Farke played a blinder by silencing the late subs critics
I know the mantra about 'don't mess with a winning team' but with so few games left and so much riding on them, that scheisse goes out of the window in my book. Against Wigan, because of their intense pressing, we needed some great vision and precision distribution. Give me either Vrancic or Leitner ahead of McClean any day of the week. One or other, alongside Try-bull on Friday, please.
