romavillan Posted November 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2018 Not normally one to tempt fate, but here goes.... They'll be chasing shadows and trying to kick lumps out of JG and JM, they'll get knackered, go a man down, we'll win by at least 2 clear goals and we'll be ole'ing them. Happy days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still too early to say. Well it isn't too early, because he literally gave that in answer to a question after the Derby game. So his words and (more importantly) his actions confirm that he doesn't defend a lead, he extends it.

" My philosophy is this : 1-0, 2-0 or 5-0 up: never ever settle for it, you must be hungry for more. If you do sit back not only are you inviting the opposition to get back into the game but you are showing them mercy. You have to look at the bigger picture, I don't only want us to destroy our current opponent's. I want to breed fear into our next ones " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concern is the game its after the internationals and we have a habit of not being at our total best after those. Wont be easy. Never is and they are better this year than last. we have lost one game since relegation after international breaks and that was to Wolves last season at Molineux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Swansea game although his first game it seemed like shut up shop. Edited November 14, 2018 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 John McGinn will be a massive loss if his calf injury keeps him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted November 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 15, 2018 Here's hoping it was a 'tactical' injury that he will miraculously recover from for the sha game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Pretty confident McGinn will be fine though will be a relief to have that confirmed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnmacf Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Calf injuries don’t tend to be too serious if it’s just a strain. Needs rest which thankfully the international break will afford. Anyone else at ends with it still being 10 days till this game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
