Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted February 13 Author Administrator Share Posted February 13 Early goal for us from a Wednesday mistake. Fatawu finishing into an open net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted February 13 Author Administrator Share Posted February 13 Utterly dominant. Playing some lovely football. Faes goes long to Dewsbury-Hall, first time lay off to Vardy who dinks it over the keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted February 13 Author Administrator Share Posted February 13 Easy win. Probably the easiest all season. Even if we hadn't scored early on, Sheff Weds looked like they just couldn't be arsed and were saving themselves for the weekend or more important games. Strolled to the 3 points.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted February 14 Subscriber Share Posted February 14 We're too good against 75% of this league to not get automatics. Routine win. Would've been nice if we'd gone for the throat in the second half but it's another job done. First half was probably the best we've played at home all season.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted February 14 Subscriber Share Posted February 14 I was talking earlier in the day with someone about who I thought would get automatics and I did actually settle on Leeds. I think Southampton's run, while very impressive, was possibly the easiest run of fixtures you could possibly have handpicked and I'm not shocked that it's fallen in a game like Bristol City away. They haven't beaten a top half team since November. They have to go away to Leicester, Ipswich, Leeds and West Brom. The jury is still a bit out on them for me. Leeds on the flip side, famous last words (although it's hardly going to upset me if I'm wrong here is it?) but they're looking like the real deal now. 7 wins in a row in the league and have the best record of anybody against the other teams at the top. I'm increasingly convinced they are the second best side in this division. The greatest praise I'll pay them is that I'd take a draw there next week and nobody gets that treatment from me in this division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,827 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Yeah, we're on a run at the moment where we look very business like. Rodon and Ampadu's partnership in defence has been pivitol as has Gruev sat in front of them. Gnonto is on fire at the moment and we're lucky to have arguably the best front four on paper. Very impressive how we dispatched that Swansea side, could easily have been more. Little bit concerned Bamford had to pull out the game late before it started, just hope he's ok as he's played his part in this and we would be better with him in the side. Plenty of twists and turns to come mind, I know my club and I know we specialise in fuck ups. One game at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've not really shown up in the big, big games (barring Southampton) and I still worry sometimes about our mentality in such situations. I hope that changes!

I've said ever since Ipswich we'll win the next five at a canter (currently won 4 of 4) and then lose at Leeds, before then going back to pretty much routinely winning. I'd love us to show up in one of these sorts of games. They ended a winning run of 9 games when they came here, I'd love to go there and do similar. I'd not criticise a point in that game though - for me the hardest fixture we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to see but I actually think with this unbeaten home record we have, we're a bit of a sitting duck for you in this fixture to go and turn us over. Despite the season you've had, I feel like us beating you earlier in the season will have stung some a bit and there will be an urge to put it right. I can see Leicester beating us with one of those classic clinical performances where we miss chances and you take yours. First and foremost, i just want want three points at Plymouth Saturday and West Brom to beat Southampton Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
