What's nailed on tonight !?

Poor ref
90 mins of Ronald
Raining
Low away attendance
Score draw
Unbeaten at home under Matos

In fairness to Ronald I think he's improving under Matos... I'm seeing him put in some lovely balls into the box which the attackers havent been quite alert enough to / they've missed glorious opportunities from chances he's created.

I agree, but his lack of end product is still immensely annoying. I don't expect him to randomly become a clinical finisher overnight, but you'd think that out of the chances he had against Oxford and Birmingham, he'd have hit the target with at least one of them. Hard to criticise him too much, as he's our only direct player, so is missing chances that no-one else is near

They haven't scored a goal in their last four away games, and we won at their place with goals by Franco and Cullen.
Swansea to win 2-0 to keep up our habit of beating the teams beneath us, and Blackburn to drop into the relegation zone after this weekend.

Did you have to?

I fancy us tonight. Unless we lose a lot of energy in the press (could happen, but unlikely) I think we overwhelm them, pen them in and we win. 2-0.

Me too, I hope we come out of the traps fast and win by a few goals. Will give the boys confidence.
Nothing is a given in this league, but as is the recent trend, I’m super fooking excited to watch the game tonight. COYS!

If we go 1-0 and are on top, we MUST get that second goal.

Once again, this has become quite an important match. Points are more important than performance tonight.

This isn't quite a six pointer, but we really do have to win this evening. Back of a fag packet maths show that (assuming that at least some results go in our favour) we could end this evening closer to the playoffs than the bottom three - seven point gap vs nine points gap.

Not for a second implying we're good enough for the playoffs hunt, but it would hopefully have us kick on to a top half, maybe even top ten, finish rather than looking down every week

The Blackburn boss Ishmael will be hell bent on making this an attritional one and I don’t think we’ll get a raft of chances, so being clinical (something we haven’t been) will be vital. Not quite a 6 pointer but win this and I don’t think the drop is something we’ll need to worry about.
A Vip hat trick, it’s coming.
