    [quote user="Yorkshire Canary"]5 wins needed out of last 7 games, draws no good anymore. This is a must win game and on paper one of our better opportunities[/quote]

    Some strange convoluted Yorkshire logic here. One would assume that losses are even less good than draws, but apparently we only have to win five of the remaining games.

    What is the point of posting this graphic? Tetty has since received a twelfth yellow and has served his three game ban. Petty out of days if you ask me.

    [quote user="mrs miggins"]If he doesn''t get us up, there are no guarantees that we''ll offer him a contract. Although he''s done a great job since coming in, its not a foregone conclusion that he''ll be here automatically the following season.[/quote]

    I believe when he came down from Scotland he stated that he was not going to relocate his family until the summer in case he was not successful. This would indicate a longer term engagement.

    That interview shows how grounded and realistic/honest AN is. He is a born leader, able to accept, and analyse, his own mistakes, and learn from them. He has been our manager for nearly three months now, has he ever been less than honest in his, and the team''s, performances? Basically, in the cynical world of professional football he stands out as a very unique specimen. OTBC.

    [quote user="Lessingham Canary"]Mmm cant get away from us and Bournemouth and had a couple of goes !

    Bournemouth 46 35 94

    Norwich 46 31 89

    Watford 46 28 88

    Brentford 46 12 88

    Middlesbrough 46 28 87

    Derby 46 29 86

    Wolverhampton 46 6 75

    Nott''m Forest 46 8 74[/quote]

    I wonder which of the ten sides Bournemouth have to face will manage to avoid defeat and draw in your scenario. 28 points in their last ten games? Not a chance.

    We actually made an astute decision to appoint Adams. He did much better for us than the various managers of our fellow relegated teams, but not quite good enough to make us strong promotion canditates. Because of this we now have AN as our boss. I call that a win/win scenario.

    [quote user="The Ghost of Percy Varco"]2-0 to City. Redmond and Hooper scoring.[/quote]

    Thank you for a voice of reason Percy. Our manager has never managed ANY team against them. How many of our squad have ever played at Ewood park for City? What has happened in the past should have no bearing on tonight''s events. I would hope that the players have no knowledge of the past results between us. And we are ten points ahead of them, so are infinitely better.

    My take on the situation is that he is with us for one month, returning to WBA for the international break. He will then return to us for the rest of the season, including all playoff matches if needed, and his move will be made permanent in July for £2M according to one report, or £3.5M according to another. Good piece of work by DM on this.

    [quote user="Branston Pickle"]I''ve been several times, I''m sure there are teams/games when they are busting for a fight, but we''re not likely to be one of them and I''ve not seen anything iffy...though there is always an undercurrent. Back in the days of the old Den it was weird being ''properly'' escorted to the station - police at the front, back and side, clearly expecting something....it was a bit weird.[/quote]

    Yeah, I remember being escorted up Old Kent Road to New Cross station.

    Tetty himself, a few weeks ago, said that his knee "needs to be managed". This would indicate that he will miss games to keep him fit. I doubt very much that he will play tonight, keeping him available for the binners. And a yellow in that match would be very timely, missing Wigan and Millwall games, but clearing him for the rest of the season, plus he gets a short break to rest his knee some more. I call that a win/win situation.

    [quote user="TomMoore"]Deep down I''m sure most fans know the importance of every up coming game. The Blackburn game for the reasons you state. It is not about confidence as much as 3 points. Every game that is not won must now be seen as lost points And we should (and undoubtedly will) be approaching this with that mindset.Unfortunately the Ipswich game has far more significance for the fans. And given how circumstances have changed so much for both teams in the past few weeks, the interest has naturally racheted up. I suspect that you are fearful that the players might take the approach that you think many on here are taking, which is that the Blackburn game is not so much a formality, but that it is not that important.I''m sure the players have had a whiff of promotion and as AN was brought in to ruthlessly drive the players towards that aim, I''m sure there will be no slackening off at Ewood Park. [/quote]

    I am fairly confident that failing to win AT ANY TIME will result in points lost Tom.

    What a great position for a manager to be in. Losing a player or two to suspension? Bring in a Belgian and/or a Scottish international to replace him/them. Tetty to miss Blackburn, play against the binners and pick up a yellow at the end of the game. Two games missed, against Wigan and Millwall, Tetty has a little break and recharged for the run in. Cynical? Maybe, but that is the way I''d should pan out.
