    If anyone still believes we aren't in trouble then they need they're bumps felt.

    Forgetting about Sheff Wed as they are as good as down already, there are 4 or 5 teams that we are fighting with to stay up. Imo they are

    Norwich
    Pompey 
    Oxford 
    Swansea
    Blackburn

    1 or 2 others may get sucked into a relegation scrap such as WBA & QPR, although I think both have too much about them. Same could be said for Swansea & Blackburn but I include them as they are below/around us at the moment.  

    Must beat Oxford in 2 weeks time & at least draw away to Norwich & Pompey. Hopefully by doing that we will at least be outside the relegation places come Jan 1st. Then it's down to the owners to show the colour of their money.

    Blackburn's game suspended due to a waterlogged pitch. The second such occurrence this season. 
    Feel sorry for Blackburn,I remember when we had all that trouble with our pitch

    With all the summer talk about Kelman and Kone, the player who's stepped up best is Rumarn Burrell, who QPR signed from Burton for just over £1m, and has scored 9 goals already.

    Southampton awarded a penalty at Norwich when the forward was taken down late in the box (despite what the home fans think it was a penalty every day of the week and twice on Sundays) ... but it was well saved by the keeper.

    Saints apparently now missed four of their last five spot kicks in the league.

    30' 0-0

    Oxford 0-1 down to Preston.
    T. Small with the assist, good lad.
  • Swansea losing too.
    Day going well so far, until our game starts anyway.

    Southampton look absolutely woeful,  doing nothing but passing it around at the back.

    Funny how we made them look world beaters!

    Saints equalise, long-range effort from Manning.

    Given Norwich's abilities to throw away games this season, especially at Carrow Road, I'd say this has got away win written through it like a stick of Yarmouth rock.

    Norwich back ahead. Players have got to start turning up. We can’t keep relying on other teams to lose all the time.

    It's turned into a goal-fest on the banks of the Wensum!

    Norwich back in front.

    62' 2-1

    It’s what they did against us. It’s their main tactic. Tap it around the back, invite the press, then when the opposition commit, cut them open with a couple of direct passes. It’s quite easy to nullify though. Keep your press organised and always make sure there’s cover.

    There have been too many matches this season where City have been in front and contrived to throw it away in the dying minutes.

    Obviously that's been helping us but the locals are getting a tad pissed off with it week in, week out!

    You obviously watch them a lot more than me but I have to say Norwich look decent today . And I'm not sure I fancy our chances here on Boxing day if they play like this against us

    Hopefully he's off in January. Far far far too good for this League. That's an absolutely sensational strike and feels like he's a one man goal of the season competition 
  • Absolute gift of an own goal from Swansea!!

    I find solace in that
  • Cameron Burgess has scored 3 times more own goals this season than any of our strikers have scored goals.

    Such a shame we didn’t sign Galbraith, he would have really strengthened our side.

    Mid table this season is quite honestly mental.
