    On a positive note, If the teams below us have the same form as they have in the first half of the season we will be safe.

    Could well happen Condition. As the Championship increasingly divides financially between the haves and have- nots the league is likely to stretch out in terms of points with less being required to stay up. No coincidence that nearly all the bottom clubs have small budgets or are skint. The bunching that used to happen between 50 and 60 points at the end of the season is less likely, being replaced by teams on 40+ points and a gap to those on 60+ as it becomes less likely that "anybody can beat anybody in this league". So 44 pts may be the new normal to stay up.
    Thaz made my Christmas Condition. We are staying up, ahsed We are staying up ! Stand up if tha staying up etc.

    The outlook needs to change. We need to get back to wingers putting in crosses and midfielders putting tackles in. Back to 4-4-2 and having a go. Stop worrying about the opposition and accept we'll take a few hidings.

    Otherwise we'll go down with a whimper.

    We were cr ap with Watkins , Roberts and Scowen playing for us in the second part of last season .

    The player who was the key was Hourihane, without him we were nothing really .

    Once every 10yrs we get a player like Hourihane .... only another 9yrs to go

    And he wouldn’t have stayed with Mr Lee around anyway

    Agree with that ESR easy for those who don't attend home fixtures to criticise , Hourihane was absolutely the main stay of our team , Scowen , Watkins were important players for us also , but neither compared to Conor ,

    Although oddly enough, Conor credited Lee Johnson for developing his all-round game. Perhaps LJ wasn't the anti-Christ after all.
