Boy, do we need to beat the Owls on Monday!!! A repeat of the result 4 years ago on Easter Monday would be BRILLIANT. As Victor Meldrew would say - I don't believe it, another draw and probably the best result for us!! Should I put my season ticket for the Mddlesbrough game on EBay???? NO way!!!
I think I've got this right!!! I feel that the 2 autos will now come from the top 4. Wow, WHAT an end to the season!!! The battle for 6th is going to go to the wire!!!!
It's really getting interesting and as I'm sure as AN is impressing on our players, our destiny is in our own hands. There are NO easy games, but we can beat all of our opponents, but listening to today's commentary, we are still making basic errors in defence, which could prove costly come May 2nd.
TBF - I think there is something very positive about an away win, with a clean sheet and still some stuff to work on. I'd be more worried if there wasn't any more scope for improvement.
Just watched the highlights and Bassong nearly gifted them a goal. AN still has work to do with our back 4, as Brighton's best chances seemed to come from our errors!!!
Strangely I see this as a positive, if the only way they could break us down was is making mistakes then it's something we can work on and show the tactics to be effective. If we weren't good enough or weren't playing the right way we'd have far greater changes to make.
We were lucky to get away with those mistakes and to capitalise on their failure to mark BJ for the goal. Only 3 shots on target is also worrying, but to get away with that and still get a win is a positive. Bournemouth looked really good against Ipswich and only got a draw. It can be a funny game, really.
In hindsight Bath I agree with you, but defensive mistakes have cost us so many points this season and I'm sure it's something AN and his coaches will be working on constantly. I watched the highlights of the Derby game and their defending at times was abysmal.
I though the Binners made them look good tbh by trying to protect their lead. No attempt to keep the ball. Bournemouth knocked the ball around nicely but I felt the clearest chances in the second half were with Ipswich on the break (hoof) until Kenwyne Jones came on. The Binners crowd (all three of them) were also right about the panicky diving from Bournemouth in the second half.
Indeed - you may well have the gig until the Fulham match on the last day if you can keep this strike rate up
Some truth in that Rob. They were playing with confidence though for the away team (compared to our performance at Brighton, say). Let's hope Birmingham can frustrate them on Monday.
