Yes.

They are because of the gap to the top 2.

In a normal season no but we've thrown away enough.

Yes, and early suggestions are that Fry & Hackney are doubtful too, though Carrick might be pulling a Farke.

It has to be in the contract. Hopefully we didn't f-up that one.

Highly impressive and despite the moaning here, we've pulled more points back
I thought Swansea were far better Faaip. We had our best 11 on the park and it was at home. Rotherham were garbage just a bad day at the office for us.

They won't keep that up .... I'm not worried about those two teams. Ipswich still riding the promotion wave, that tends to bottom out in February and Leicester are good enough to be dominant

Rotherham played well, they passed the ball around much better than Swansea, they didn't commit many defensive errors, they were compact and solid against us... They look a better home team based on record, but I thought Swansea were very poor tonight bar the slightly fortuitous first goal while we were wondering why our goals wasn't allowed

I don't think it matters. IIRC it's a league rule

Plus we haven't thrown away much at all up to now ..We're you expecting 46 wins?

I saw it the opposite. Swansea passed it around well first half but were average in the second. Rotherham just play to their strengths of long throw-ins and men behind the ball. I think they will go down. I missed Swansea's goal in real time. :tup:

You know what I mean.

In a normal season we are just about scraping top 2.

But this isn't normal and those results against Stoke, Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham etc have cost us.

Felt Swansea were neat and tidy just lacked the final ball myself.

Rotherham were dire.

Weds just got a last minute draw.

I think it's called 'football.

The FA made it a rule, so there's no way around it thankfully.

Well Leicester have matched the Sheff Wednesday one and they don't ha e the excuse of having no team for the first 4/5 weeks. Ipswich also drew at Rotherham, so that's that one shot out of the water ... Go back and watch the Rotherham game but without the preconceived biases

Great three points. We just need to be a bit more clinical in front of goal. Sadly Paddy is past it.

Thanks for posting, Ash! Couldn’t listen to the radio broadcast due to having so many meetings today. Can’t wait to check into the broadcast via LUTV tonight/tomorrow…
