Yes I agree that Nyland has a mistake or couple in him. But we have two important games coming in. If we win them then we definitely have a good chance. We also have to look at other teams results. You can’t just assume they will complete their form forever while we’re going to lose ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here, Let's hope we don't sign shit come January then and once our season implodes and we're out of play-off contention come March that will hopefully cheer you up a bit.

But we have lost points against Forest and Bagges which Leeds and Norwich have taken advantage off and made the gap even bigger. Every game have a potential being a draw as long as Nyland is in goal, that is my main worry. Edited December 12, 2018 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just really enjoying our football of late, this feeling of being the current best team in the league is a rarity that should be treasured!

Every game have a potential being a draw as long as Nyland is in goal, that is my main worry. We’ve taken advantages on Leeds before. We have lost points to Forest and Baggies who are two among the best teams in the League. We have missed couple of chances and got robbed at WBA. We had a run of hard games yet Nyland managed to have 4 clean sheets. I’m not defending him and would like someone better, but its not as you’re saying. We will drop points and every team will. Hopefully we will beat Stoke and other teams drop points. If we win our next two games and Leeds lost their next game, we will be only 4 points behind them. If we can go in a run of 7 wins, things would look much different. Actually no one thought Norwich will be at playoffs let along being the league leaders. They were below us when we had Bruce. If they haven’t beat us I don’t think they would have been at playoff places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cjay Posted December 13, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2018 Its just the UK arm of Eleven Sports, not the whole thing. He will have lost money, probably a good few million. Besides we were skint before he did that we will still be skint after, makes no difference. Radz isnt the sort of owner to spend more then the club can afford. Frustrating yes. But sensible i suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bought the UK rights to various things, UFC, La Liga etc. But couldn't agree a deal on distribution through tv services like Sky etc, no surprise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 If Leeds dont go up, I read somewhere he will be moving the club onto the next buyer as the championship is just a loss making league for most clubs. Fair enough really. Just hope NSWE dont lose interest if we fail, need these guys to lead us in the Prem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't think they will they have put a project together that so far is looking very successful. I think in the next 2-3 years we will back where we belong under smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 We'll start to see the strength of backups in the next few weeks. Hogan and O'Hare will both get minutes tomorrow. Hopefully when we're already 4-0 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands, currently 1 win doesn't even take us into the playoff spots. 2 might barely do so, if even at all. It's going to be a very long, hard slog.

We've gotta look after ourselves and just keep winning. If and when the teams above us drops points along the way, we will hsve already done our bit. That is the only way we will climb whilst reducing the points deficit as we go hopefully. Edited December 14, 2018 by AvfcRigo82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
