Relegation

….a draw tomorrow is a terrific result.

You offering Eggs?I'll take it!!!

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Your optimism is commendable however since our decent start ended, let’s the say after the Man U away game, we have won 3 league games in 20. There’s only been 2 draws to. This shower really are going to need to well and truly find something from somewhere.

How long ago that seems, came out of Old Trafford with a spring in my step even slightly disappointed we hadn't got the full three points at the end, an international break for two weeks, then we would push on looking at the European slots wouldn't we?...............erm

Burnley will have to attack us.

Awful place.
Be huge with a win tomorrow.

Burnley will have to attack us.

I dont think so. They will sit back and be happy to soak up pressure and then focus on exploiting our weaknesses at set plays.

Not only set pieces. Even Burnley could shred us to pieces with a timid counter attack.

Burnley are still starting Aaron Lennon in their games so we are safe for now

That's too long a time frame to judge us by.

We know that we've beaten 3 PL teams at home in Lampard's period here and that home form is key (one in the cup, yes, but that is form).

Even if we only got another 7/8 points in our last 11 games that'd put us on 32/33 points. Burnley (who I consider our only threat) would have to get 12/13 points from their remaining 10 games to get level with us. That looks very very steep for them.

It amuses me when people constantly say Burnley are fighters and will go on a run.
They have lost their last 4 without scoring a goal .

And they start Aaron Lennon every game

Results definitely gone our way today, have to make the most of it now

If we get anything tomorrow the lift for Wednesday will be enormous.

We need to try not give too many away, no daft free kicks or silly corners, try and keep it simple at the back and concentrate.

We need a performed tomorrow, after today we know exactly the storey, no excuses, we know exactly what has to be done.

I think the failure of those below to cut into our cushion today will boost us for tomorrow. Also it's important for our players to know that Leeds aren't out of it.
