KingsX Posted 20 January Share Posted 20 January Keep your knickers on. The point isn't that the good teams in this division are so great. It's that a solid half of the teams are absolute trash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankieADZ Posted 20 January Share Posted 20 January some on here need to remember as well Swansea got hammered by them a month back too also look through some of the results theyve got during this run, dont get me wrong its a good run but some of the teams theyve played they on paper should have won 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only need to win half of our games to go up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 20 January Share Posted 20 January I'm not quite at the point of worrying but it is a bit annoying how few clear we actually are given our ridiculously high points tally. Whoever comes 3rd this season will be gutted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVFox Posted 20 January Share Posted 20 January Southampton playing well but Swansea are horrific. This is such a poor league this year, you can see why us, Ipswich and Saints are picking up such high points in comparison to top teams from other seasons (and why the promoted sides in PL are struggling). Fancy Saints for automatic but they'd be my first choice for 20th place next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM1968 Posted 20 January Share Posted 20 January Southampton will hit a sticky patch. So will Leeds again. So will we in all likelihood. Not convinced we will get anything out of the Ipswich game unless Enzo adopts a slightly less Italian approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point being, with a 7 point gap, it’s one or two more bad results from us whilst they are still in this form of their own and it’s within a game or so of points and all to play for. That said, when we lost back to back in November, our lead of Leeds went from 14 points to 8 in those two game weeks and was then rebuilt so can go either way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was the OPs reasoning for suggesting us and Southampton shouldn’t be in this league, they are forgetting Leeds finished ahead of Southampton. More likely they meant both sides are just too good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't control what happens until Monday night so I'd hold my powder dry before firing that just yet. We can afford to drop points and still achieve promotion anyway. I'm not interested in anything else but promotion at this point 1st or 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton will have some dodgy results between now and the end of the season, theyve still got to go to Leeds, Ipswich and the KP; be right, i think Ipswich need to worry about Southampton more than us at this time 2 minutes ago, Foxysausages said: We don't know if KDH is injured or not though.

KDH will more than likely play Monday, suspect his need was inflamed after the challenge on Saturday guessing it was more of a step to give it rest etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
