Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted March 8, 2011 We are doing it the hard way though. If our home form was as good as the away stuff we would not be in this squeaky bum situation at all!Still, lets just enjoy the ride... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And imagine if we had signed Ashton at the start of our Premiership season - where could we be now?At the end of the day, it is all ifs, buts and maybes. We are where we are, which is well in contention for a top-two finish, so we need to look to push on from here and not worry about what could have been.I know on Monday that I will be right behind the lads despite our disappointing home form, and I''m sure you will be doing exactly the same Ricardo. Let''s hope everyone else feels the same! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salopian 1 Posted March 9, 2011 And it''s 8 from the last four games - two points per game. If that was maintained, - difficult, automatic promotion would be likely! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 6,051 Posted March 9, 2011 Surely Ricardo''s point is that we aren''t winning the "easy" games (although looking at Preston''s recent results I don''t think that counted as one) and that isn''t right. We play well against teams that try and play football but struggle when opponents dig in and scrap, and we need to fix this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted March 9, 2011 And it''s 8 from the last four games, or two a game and more than we were averaging all season!If we can maintain this rate (whisper it) promotion becomes a real possibility. Leicester were to have been one of our tough matches, and we rose to the occasion.Pity about the home points dropped, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted March 9, 2011 People need to stop underestimating the so called lesser sides, even the sides at the bottom aren''t that far off the better sides and will come to frustrate. I agree we need to improve in regards to breaking sides down and not being sucker punched but some realism needs to be shown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
