We are effectively 9pts ahead of Huddersfield with 12 to play. Huddersfield might win 9 of those 12, so we need 7 wins at the most now, 5 or 6 will probably do it. E I E I E I O

Deserved win, so many missed chances. Once the lucky one goes in, theres only one winner. Huge win. Win on Sat and its as good as done.

Got to fucking take our chances!

the Boro game is the type where Boro will do everything to win, and Defoe will score the winner. Can see them both going down.

Personally I'd give Misstro the run of the next 5 games, so he's had the good run in the team so many have called for. I'm sure he'll prove his worth at Huddersfield, Brighton and Reading where we must take our chances. Great player, one for the future.

Win our next 2 home games, and a draw at each of those 3 away games might not be the worst results. I'd certainly take 5 points from them.

Would have taken a draw anyway tonight, but even better that Brighton failed to win. Shame about Hudds

Fucking Misstro going to cost us once again.

Met Pardew in Heathrow airport a couple of weeks after the Carroll sale, seemed decent enough to be honest. (Not defending him being a shit manager)

Norwich can climb back into a play off spot tonight

The fact Nolan has played with Shola previously, means you would think he'd know Shola is shite. Unless he only remembers him as the Mackem Slayer.

We'd be very disappointed if we couldn't win in 8 of our last 17 games, given that we have failed to win 9 of our 29 games so far.

Banter blocked now is it?

It's calling him 'Misstro' for over a year that suggests he has an agenda against him If he had stopped missing a load of sitters 9 months ago, it wouldn't have lasted as long.

Gateshead isn't a bad shout, but transfer window is closed now. The Scandi's play their league through the summer, that way we'd get him back absolutely flying when our new season kicks off at the end of summer.

Why don't we loan him out to FC Kemi up in Lapland and let him get his confidence, form and consistency back against a load of paper mill working, karaoke bar singing part timers?

No they didn't 39.2% is 'about 40%' tbf No they didn't They did like. Second two columns, added together. You're both right, I've had a mare there Still, Karjala has a pretty big agenda against him and seems pretty pleased when he doesn't do well, which I don't think is right at all You've got an agenda against mathematics tbf. Mitro is not good enough, its about time people realised and we flogged the useless cart horse to some top flight Scandinavian team, should do alright over there.

Wonder if he'll score again this season?

About 40% of people voted that Misstro would score more than 16 in the championship, looking unlikely now.

for 2 seasons? Wonder if he'll get his confidence next year in the PL, where chances are harder to come by?

If these do stay up, theres no doubt its another season in the bottom 6 like, squad full of shite with one man single handedly keeping them in with a chance.

Yeah of course, but despite everyone's worries (mine included) and our rough spell, we still have the best form in the league. Get Gayle back, and hopefully we'll pick up where we left off in November. Before this shit spell (started with Blackburn at home then the Forest refereeing masterpiece) weren't we on for a club record winning streak.

We would have taken that at KO

So, Top of the table by 1pt 6pts clear of 3rd with a game in hand Most goals scored by 11 (57 scored) Best goal difference by 11 Most wins by 2 Only derby have conceded fewer goals (22 to our 23) Top of the form table for last 6 games (13pts) Only Huddersfield picked up more points in last 10 games And this is after/during our bad patch. 17 games to go...
