Would be one win from six games at VP which wouldn't be good enough. A away win would be good yeah. We never do much at Fulham so probably do well to get a battling draw so Luton is the crucial one really. They'll be spamming crosses in left right and centre so we really need Pau and Konsa both out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond me how fans can just give up now when we have 3 favorable games coming up I do think there's something in this. As a fanbase we do some prone to extreme negativity and pessimism. It's no longer such a mystery to me why our home form has dipped so badly recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I said in the match thread, we over achieved in the first half of the season. We're still 5th and in with a shot of Top 4, although it will be a big ask. We don't have the squad for the Champions League yet. 5th or 6th and win the ECL would be a wonderful season still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as bloody rasmus not scoring for like 20 games till guess who rolls around! We have a painful habit of breaking players and teams shite runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrchnry Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Too many bottle jobs in this team, fold under pressure just like that Sheffield Utd game when we could have gone top. Luiz is the biggest culprit for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the first to say the midfield were uselss against Chelsea, not today, we lost by a good goal, an didn't finish our ownchances, half of them cause Onana had the game of his life. We rarely beat Man U, not sure what the shock is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Look we can still get 7 or 8 wins. I am not giving up on us. The timing of the injuries has been awful for us. Those players coming back could be massive. Edited February 11 by Captain_Townsend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 It's not even extreme negativity. Our season is coming apart these past 2 months, I don't understand why that's such a problem to say on this forum. We built such a strong gap losing it would be a proper disappointment, no matter how good a 6th place finish on paper would be. Especially if we did lose it to that United side, they are hideous I don't know how they keep getting results. Like I said, we aren't all of sudden done in the race for top 5/4 now that is nonsense but we're dropping some really poor points now and it's not good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get beat without bottling it you know, we was unlucky v sheff u and done well to score in stoppage time to draw, today was just bad finishing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have looked a shadow of that ever since and choked hard. We didn’t choke hard today. We were incredibly unlucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what most people are taking issue with tbf. I don't think anyone is seriously disputing that our form has dropped off recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
