Tight at the top

2 months ago we were minutes away from going 13 points clear of third.

We're now just 3 points clear of seventh, it's become a 6 horse race for second.

We also had Roofe and Bamford last season instead of Bamford and Big Kev who'll do well to actually get a goal. We don't really have any form players anywhere on the pitch. Keeper poorx defence have looked vulnerable although did better on Tuesday. Costa looks poor, Klich hasn't scored for months, Pablo looks had it, Harrison looks decent up until the final third and Bamford is just too reliant on service. Need players to step it up now.

Fans need to forget what the table looked like and concentrate on what it is now. Frustrating but no point looking back

The beauty of football is that it could all change at the snap of a finger.

Although slim I would not be surprised if we suddenly found ourselves top in a few weeks time - typical Leeds when you expect the worse.

Moly we heard same about Norwich how lucky they were with last minute goals how sheff u are average team they won’t keep it up.

You’ve mentioned 2 of 5 chasing us it only takes 1 of those 5 to have slightly better results than us are we’re dicking around in playoffs.

If all of us continue firm for just 2 matches we’re in 7th It’s a really precarious position right now for a tram that just can’t score enough goals.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You didn’t hear sheff United were average from me. They played good football all season. Norwich played good football too... but weren’t good at the back and relied heavily on pukki taking a ridiculous amounts of their chances.

All I’m doing is passing comments on the teams based on what I’ve seen personally and reports I’ve read. I think there are 4 good sides in this division and I’ve named them. Hardly makes me a genius as most would have named the same. The current top 5 are 5 of the 6 I picked on here to be top 6 back in the autumn. I thought wed would join Brentford in coming through from the pack, they did for a while but have gone into freefall.

No one would dispute how precarious our position is... but wakey is right about our run in. It’s something to take hope from. Fulham and Brentford are the likely threats for autos and looking at the run ins Brentford’s is easier. All just my opinion.

West Brom are what, 6pts ahead!..

They were not long back 11pts ahead!..

I know, with us!..

Nothing to say we cant catch them, mind the way things are it needs a better run than those behind us, what has to happen now is keeping those behind us at bay!..

2 players we could of signed in jan who would have contributed more than Poveda.

Callum Robinson went to West Brom. Proven at this level

Scott Sinclair went to Preston. I know hes been playi ng in scottish phb league but still has an eye for a goal,
can hit a decent free kick and more importantly can deliver a quality cross that doesnt always hit first man.

Orta feckin useless.

Got to win next 2 home games. I think we will as well.

We are good enough to go up.

Its dependent on confidence. The two lqds at either end of the pitch...Keeper and striker need to step up.

Its incredible how many points the keeper has cost us. He cost us last year as well. Now he is a good lookint bloke but I presume Bielsa doesn't want a piece. Yws he can also play out from the back but he isn't doing that well either.

Of we address the performance of these two positions. Even if its by replacing with an average option who doesn't f up all the time. We stand a good chance of going up

But how to address their performance, they’ve been in side long enough but coaches can’t suddenly change them now. It’s confidence fir both players but without any psychological support it’s literally just hoping something u turns.
