    How dare you forget about the Nations League! It's something England can win. <laugh>

    Prepare yourself for a relentless stream of "Have we bought anybody yet?"s

    A win against Bournemouth and the mínimum target is reached!! It would be awful to finish with less than 40 points

    Conceding late kind of sucks. But the only reason why that was disappointing is because we were gifted a goal early.

    A draw is a good result against a decent side. Cardiff is not catching us in goal differential. They still can't lose. The last nail in the coffin was already 1/2 way in. Now it's 3/4 of the way in instead of 7/8 is all.

    Valuable point against a very successful team. A real battling performance with Long, Redders and especially JWP putting an incredible shift in
    Well done!
    Three points Saturday and we are nearly there

    Annoying when so close, but not going to cry...an away point against Watford. Not mathematically perhaps, but another point making it near impossible for Cardiff to catch us. And we are consistently getting points now....which we haven't until Ralph came. Obviously hope we strengthen a bit in the summer (though not expecting much unless we can move a few on), but we will be up the table next season even if we carry on the way we are now.

    Ah well, I’m not too bothered about the equaliser, a point away at Watford is well worth having. And Brighton losing kind of doubles the advantage, so we’re just about there I’d say. No way are we going to fail to get at least 3 more points.

    Heh, will depend on the players. Doubt there will be an uproar about a clearout of the secondary players; if we're shipping out a bunch of the standouts though...

    So disappointing to drop 2points but every point is precious so we’re one point closer to survival. A for effort B for execution. Really should have had a couple of other goals and should have shut up shop before conceding but the table looks better than the start of the game so can only be happy.

    -------------

    We could have scored five in the first half. So many potent attacks just missing that last bit of quality. Really enjoyable game, and a massive point in the scheme of things.

    If we stay up I don't care. I would have taken a draw before the game, so can't be too annoyed.

    Brighton drawing would have made it a worse night. Well done Spurs. Hush my mouth!

    I thought we played really, really well tonight against a good Watford team.

    Amazing credit to hasenhuttl for getting us to play like that.

    We look so much fitter and were fighting for every ball. Very unlucky not to take all three points. If we can add a few players and keep up this intensity, we could be looking at top half next season.

    Looks like there could be about 10 or 11 going. Squad is going to look very different next season. Ralf wants the squad in his image
