Foundations are set for us to evolve into something better. The belief in the squad is the difference for me. Total positivity and unity. Dan Burn stick one on Bowen on Saturday because of what he'd done further up the pitch. You feel they're all in it together - an attitude that was sadly lacking under Bruce.

ewerk 26391 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 We have Brentford, Brighton and Southampton next. There's a case to be made for us claiming three points from each of those matches. It's time to look up, not down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 6866 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Things can change, but on recent performances I don’t see why we can’t take something from anyone tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34503 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Just to be ABSOLUTELY FUCKING CLEAR though. We very likely only need a point a game to stay up. We've picked up two per game from our last 6. If you still think we are likely to be relegated, you're either a fucking idiot or you just like the drama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we’re 6th favourites to go down now after the weekend. With Brentford and Leeds shorter odds and Everton only slightly longer. That feels about right to me atm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a first time of course, but I still think Fat Frank will get enough out of them. Brentford and Leeds look more likely than us to go down though imo.

It's similar to the Southampton & Coventry factor years ago - because they were perennial survivors, the expectation is they'll continue to get out of it. I too think they'll have enough to get out of it, but at the present, looking at objectively, I'd say we stand a better chance of surviving than them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
