People were fooled just because he was at Real Madrid, keeping the bench warm!

Nah not having it. Teams that deserve to go up will be 1st and 2nd. After that, it's a lottery.

Do we deserve to go up? - yes
Will we go up? - I think so


Wouldn't surprise me at all if we beat Brentford and Villa. We are capable of it. We thrive against sides that have a go and struggle against teams that sit back and those that are powerful counter attacking sides like we saw Friday. Brentford caused us many problems at ER on the counter, as did Brum

So which is it?

"Wouldn't surprise me at all if we beat Brentford"

or

"Brentford caused us many problems at ER"

Just asking...

Will you naysayers feel the same way if we had to win our next 3 games?

I'd probably give more value to the Brentford caused us many problems at Elland road. On paper they are a good side, given their home record and our poor record in London will be a shock to come away with 3 Pts.

Won at Norwich, Sheffield u and villa so we are capable of a shock.

Just a thought, why do so many sides cause us problems on the counter? Maybe because we all bomb forward and take forever to get a cross into the box. When we do lose it we are short at the back. Other teams do not seem to need to have half the team in the opposition box to create a chance. Yesterday one man ran into our box unopposed and scored and for the second one man in our box headed on to another who nodded it in.

Yeah, let's get that player back who didn't want to be here.

Err. It’s Bielsa ball. Everyone knows how we play and how to counter it. Countering opportunities are hard to come by because of the press but there’s space wide if they can get the ball there and if we give it away cheaply.

It’s just the trade off for how we play. If we didn’t bomb full backs forward we wouldn’t Pen teams in, dictate play and have more chances than the opposition every week. We tend to get more chances but often less clear cut ones because we’re working for ours in congested areas... and because our final ball isn’t consistently good enough... and our finishing not good enough.

Still good enough to be only goal difference off autos though

Fair points Milky, we would not be having this discussion if we were just a bit more efficient in the final third. If we could just convert a small percentage of our dominance into goals we would be walking this league.
Fingers and everything else crossed for tomorrow!

Exactly fella. Share your frustrations, we’ve been better than the points we have in my opinion, but points is all that matters.

Could all turn around again. Everything will be crossed in the milky household!
