Forest won’t get another point.
Leicester might get 3 max.
One win in two could do it and 4 points definitely will
I want to be in with a shot come Spuds...

TBF Firpo has probably only failed us two/three times this season. Meslier more, Paddy more, Roca a lot more, McKennie a few times, Harrison too but for some unfathomable reason Firpo is the scapegoat..

Came back to grab a point when all looked lost.

Silly mistakes at both ends for the umpteenth time.

Don’t think that’s possible. Forest beat Arse then they’re on 37. We can still equal that. But anyway pretty sure we’ll still have a shot at it v Spurs

They are not worth getting miserable about, 1000.

I'm pretty sure the majority of our players are relatively happy in their salubrious millionaire lifestyles.

Football is not that predictable, Jay, apart from LUFC who seem to have totally lost a winning mentality.

That's the reason we are heading to the championship, as you mentioned above, far too many players failed us this season. I can count on three or four fingers our consistent performers, & two of those enduring long-term injuries.

OK seasons from

Firpo


Poor seasons from

Bamford
Meslier
Struijk (though he started well)
Roca


Good half season for

Poor half season from

Not enough playing time for

Yeah Robles had a nice steady games. Good handling on one of the shots where if it was spilt/parried Isak was waiting for a tap in. Not much chance with the penalties. Dealt with crosses well, catching or getting a decent punch.

I try to assess things as I genuinely see them, and would never make anyone a scape goat. I agree there have been errors by all the players you have named, and I am the first to praise Firpos ability going forward, but for the last two seasons he has been the worst defender at the Club in my view, and it is unfathomable to me if anyone can't see this. Constant fouls just outside the box when he has been out of position or beaten for pace, and regular bookings and suspensions have been part of his game and today's performance was just a continuation of this.
