alreadyexists Posted October 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2017 I would take a draw if offered now to be fair, but I do think we will win this one. We have enough defensively and enough going forward to sneak it. We are top of the form table over the last 6 games even with the WWFC loss, and were 3rd over ten games so we’re still an ‘in form’ team as far as I can see. And we’re at home, and Kodjia is getting back to full fitness, Snodgrass is getting better each game, Hourihane has come on a lot this season, Adomah is unplayable on his day... I think we’ll win. 2-0 Kodjia and Adomah (possibly one of which being penno). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Fulham, for God's sake. It is not even Wolves or Cardiff, never mind Barcelona. If we cannot win this one, no way can we be promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve changed Not so much changed,but I think its fair to say i was giving him time to impliment the remedy for the flaws that i could see game to game. I understood the magnititude of the job, not just where we are, but we have been going for the last 6 or 7 years or more.I also appreciated the rot that had set in, in conceding so easily and one way or another he has stemmed that. but there are still fundamentals for me that have not appeared to be fixed and have no sign of being fixed, despite the balance of the team looking better( albeit centre mid still does not look formidable enough for me to create any damage in this league) To be fair i did say in my earlier posts, supporting him.....my support is not unconditional, it was always based on giving him enough time to do the job. I fear he may have taken us as far as he can. I see perhaps better players coming in, marginally, but i don't see any of them ( outside the kids) developing/ improving their skills.

dounavilla Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 If any game in the history of football is destined for a draw , this is the one. 1-1 all day long. In fact if go as far to say that if this does not end in a draw I'll personally send a romantic poem to Steve Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'm taking the missus to the game today because my son is currently in Barcelona for tonights game against Malaga.
