Batty Correct. If you'd have told me we lose at home final game of 2018 but still be top of the Championship I'd have called you to be taken away in Ausman's finest attire.

Top of the league is just fine by me, Mr Westwood inbound? and that Spanish geezer would be even better :)

Top of championship going into the new year in the past 13 years have all gone up, so I heard today.

Don’t like losing.

I agree and I hope many others do. I don't get it, but those with a better understanding of football than me must, surely. Gone on long enough. That said, overall superb outcomes.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 19:45:51
Excellent point CJS. We beat them all over the park today in every respect but that which mattered - the score. We are creating the chances and even getting the shots away. Well done MB. If we can find a way to achieving a respectable conversion rate we will be unbelievable.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 20:10:51
I am just waiting till we beat someone 5-6-7/ 0.

It will happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 23:35:32
Already invested a lot of money in Bamford, just need the chance to pick him for a few consecutive games. Also invested time if not yet money on Brown, we need a return on both of those investments.

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 11:11:00
Spanish they were gambles brown was injured hasn’t paid off, Bamford was off loaded why, MB don’t seem to want to play him,

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 12:58:27
Too much doom and gloom there whiteman, Brown wasn't a gamble, he's on his way to playing, it's only a gamble if he's no good. Bamford was "offloaded" because Pulis prefers centre halves to centre forwards, and I'm sure Bub wants to play him but would you drop a 13 goals from 20 games striker?

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 15:00:38
Al, agreed but how is he going to get play time if you don’t, MB should have used him yesterday? The game was lost,

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 18:53:02
The problem today is not that we lost per se; we maintained our position and to an extent our margins. The problem is giving opposition a glimpse of possible avenues for developing tactics that can successfully work against us Hopefully Bub will tweak a little and confound the opposition's analysts. He's been on the job so far so I am going to keep the faith. Bring on Forest. It's always good to beat a team wearing red. MOT.

Obviously got 2 goals but how did Bowen play?
I see we have been linked with him but can't say I've seen Hull play this year.
Wondering if people think he'd fit in well into our system?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

29 Dec 2018 19:03:49
He is a good player.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 19:05:23
Not worth 20 million like they think he is.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 19:41:37
No he isn't, but would be a good addition for us.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 13:00:43
Snap their hands off at £6.5M, mind you, it'll take him some time to get as fit as the rest of the team.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 18:27:19
Need to bring replacements for Saiz and Blackman who have left the squad . Need 2 more to replace Cibicki and Shaughnessy. Then would invest in 2 more a midfielder and striker. There are 21 games left, let's not throw this opportunity away for the sake of a few million pounds invested now .2 or 3 of these additions could be on loan . We do not want fatigue to creep in.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

29 Dec 2018 18:55:35
I think fatigue has crept in.

Does anybody seriously think we were going to go the rest of the season without a defeat.

Get real.

Don't worry, mettissekit will be on here shortly with words of wisdom :)

Fatigue? If these lads can run for 180 mins per week in the championship, they’re in the wrong game! Burnout is NOT a factor.

29 Dec 2018 22:08:56
It's there job to be fit.

29 Dec 2018 22:40:29
Well said Brighty, some people pay too much attention to "expert" pundits in the media.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 18:01:17
I might get slaughtered for this, but today has proved we aren't unbeatable. We can't and won't win every game, But I have always thought we needed to strengthen in January, either Saiz leaving we have less options to change the game. We are in a great position so all I want is the powers that be invest in January to keep the promotion push on track. A couple of good signings plus a goalkeeper might just get us over the line. MOT.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

29 Dec 2018 18:47:36
Totally agree, our squad has done wonders so far. Not a knee jerk reaction because we have lost today, it's been obvious to many that we needs a few players in. Injuries haven't helped .

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 21:37:14
Agree. We are not unbeatable, tho nor is any team in this league. We are where we are, on merit. And there will be many more bumps on the way to May. Fingers crossed brothers, because it ain’t over by a long way!

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 17:56:20
2nd and final game for me this trip, sad we lost this one but days likes this are inevitable. If someone offered me 21 out of 24 points I'd have bit their hands off.
Loved the atmosphere and passion, something I've really missed.

Look guys we dodged a bullet today. Let's 've grateful for the others dropping points too. At least they will want to fire back against forest. Onwards and upwards.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

29 Dec 2018 18:40:18
Yup. If we got to lose one then it's always good to see those around you do the same. Still ticking the 2 points a game box overall so still well and truly on target.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 22:42:11
Hopefully we'll go on another winning streak, one or two better this time :)

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 17:44:40
I hope this puts those silly possession stats to bed too.71.7% today and lost 0-2.as Noel Whelan said, possession doesn't win football games goals do!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

29 Dec 2018 17:41:31
Again thro the game we had possession and attempts but maybe a few sessions could be put to keeping it tight for the first quarter. We have been riding our luck with late, late comeback but our luck ran out today. Please MB let's have less of this chasing games.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

29 Dec 2018 17:52:04
As Long as FORESHAW, HARRISON AND BPF are starting, we will continue chasing games.

29 Dec 2018 17:56:56
Bielsa error not to start Halme. Saw it coming.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 17:57:05
Agree that luck run out today. Hearing that KP not had his best game (should give berm something to chomp on) but he isn't a centre half! As happy and grateful as iam that we are top of the league, surely the powers that be at our club see that we do need to strengthen in a few areas for our promotion push. We have done Well so far and rid our luck at times but need a bit of new blood. Don't think Bamford and Izzy Brown are going to be fit enough to play their part and Hernandez and BPF need resting.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 18:52:05
Agree george, we been lucky playing players out of position but would give Halme a start and put Philips back in midfield.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 21:39:02
Oh dear. Now people know more than Bielsa. 🤔😔🤓.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 17:00:26
May sound odd to some, but in light of our result, I would rather Norwich win and WBA draw than visa versa. More un-nerved by Brom. Bloody Norwich managed to maintain their comeback kid phase. Hugs to Preston, feels odd to be glad that Millwall won and the less said about Blackburn the better. At least we are 5 clear of Brom. Worry about Boro some other time.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

29 Dec 2018 16:56:23
The scary thing is we coulda just lost 3 games on the bounce and shipped 6 goals in the process. The fine lines of football.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

29 Dec 2018 16:52:38
We’ve ridden our luck too often recently and we’re always going to be due a fall. We need to stop conceding first ideally as makes it much too difficult to ourselves to be comfortable and teams can just sit back. Hope this is a wake up call against conceding soft goals.

Usual, lots of the possession, no real goal threat yet. Hull giving it a good go. They look good going down the left. Aylings fitness maybe starting to show. Hopefully we can step up a gear in second half.

0-2😟.

29 Dec 2018 16:38:18
Hull had a slow start to the season, but they are game for anyone at present and Adkins has sounded confident in recent days. Fair play to them.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 16:50:48
Not our day today, small squad been found out maybe or just one game too many. Norwich seem to score for fun on the other hand. Still top, just!

CLARKE SHOULD HAVE STARTED WEEKS AGO!

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 14:29:04
He is far more effective second half or last half hour.
Credit to Bielsa for holding him back.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 14:36:41
Unchanged again! What of squad rotation during busy festive period? At least Tyler is back on the bench. Clarke is more effective as a second half substitute but he can't play like that forever.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 14:38:01
I agree Aus. When he comes on second half, the other team have slowed a tad and they cannot cope with him. He is good at outmaneuvering them then. He never looks fit enough for a full match. Super sub at present.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 14:52:48
Agree George. Eventually he will need to prove his worth. But for now. Just use him as we need him.
I think Bielsa knows teams will now look for him coming on and a bit of fear will take over them.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 15:22:19
We don't know he's more effective 2nd half if he's never started in first!

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 15:47:23
U seen him puff like a dragon?
No way he can last 90 min.
Opponents tired in second half.
Perfectly sensible to bring on at half time.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 16:59:13
Clarke, while excellent, does not have the engine to start and finish a game, and is a perfect sub for the second half. His day will come.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2018 13:44:43
Hull not as good as villa.
So going to spank them.
From what I've seen. Which is about 12 games.
We are playing better than ever.
They maybe in form. But. My fav score prediction is. 4-1.

Hey guys! Looking forward to the game today would love to be there but not going to get to ER till norwich at home due to work think we will win today but only odd goal probably 2-1 hull on a good run of form won't be easy today their dangerman is The guy some sites reckon we are after Bowen! that's not going to happen they reportedly want 20 mil, if hull are skint he'll go to a prem club in jan they won't accept a 5 mill bid from a championship rival! Decent player though and only 22 anyway enjoy the game brothers let hope we don't get too many palpitations today! let's make the gap wider come on Leeds! MOT 😎.
