Rival Watch

Swansea look a beast of a team.
Brentford I'm afraid might make top 6 but really don't seem to be clinical going forward.

Yep stats for the game were quite heavily in Swansea’s favour. Look a good side

[Ascotexgunner]

That did cross my mind whilst typing that chaps. But Boro really were in a worse state than us.....we went from being utter sh*te to dull but safe once Bowen came in. Boro have just gone from sh*te to being pretty decent.

[Hound]

Boro held as well. Watched a bit, they were all over Blackburn with their horrible hoof-dive-set piece football and quite happy they didn’t win

[Barney]

Results are going (or have gone) ok tonight. But it is up to US.

Two home games coming up. 4 points would be more than acceptable. Keep the points tally ticking over. Loving this.

Catch us if you can

Yes if Boro don’t win it’s a very good night. The point at Boro looks very decent in hindsight.

How the hell has Paunovic turned it around here? We have been utter sh*te for the last 2 seasons and relegation fodder.

How the hell has Warnock turned it around there? They have been utter sh*te for the last 2 seasons and relegation fodder.

They finished 7th two years ago

Last year was a struggle for them though. I guess the transition between Karanka and Pulis (teams based on solidity and nicking games 1-0) to Woodgate was too much to overcome

Warnock’s style more aligned with old habits there, personally not surprised to see them high up the table, albeit wasn’t expecting them to be that high

Stoke are quietly sneaking up the table. If they win tonight they'll be up to 4th.

3 wins and a draw in their last 5 but it also shows how tight the division is this year at the moment at least.

From Swansea in 2nd to Luton in 14th there is just 6 points, so a run of 2 or 3 wins/losses really can see you sweep up or down the table very quickly.

Also noticed if we can score a couple tonight, we overtake Blackburn as top scorers in the division.

They've got a good manager there, think that has done wonders for them.

They're a team i've not paid too much attention to tbh. Didn't they sign a load of old experienced players in the summer? Not sure they'll have the legs for this season. Know they have that Campbell chap who looks tidy though

Possibly, although I have a feeling like that was last season? I could be wrong though.

Stephen Fletcher and John Obi Mikel IIRC although Mikel has always struck me as overhyped.

[Silver Fox]

All of our so-called rivals dropped points last night and we dropped in the odds on Bet365 (although we stayed at 14/1, I think it must be Swansea who moved above us)

2020 eh?!?!

[Sutekh]

Sheff Wed points deduction has been reduced to 6 points.

[Super_horns]

Not quite sure how we are 4th!

Take it though.

Stoke will rightly be annoyed about our first which should have been a foul on the goalie after he'd saved an original shot from Cleverly which hit the bar and bounded down before our striker knocked the ball and goalie into the net.

So the ref gave the goal.

[Ascotexgunner]

Are Derby trying to get relegated? They are doing a brilliant job if they are.

Easily the worse team we've played.

Since then we have played 3 teams expected to be at the bottom all looked much better than them.

Mind you even they drew at Bournemouth.

[Simmops]

Laughable goal for Watford against Stoke. Ball got smashed against the crossbar and on the line but not over, keeper grabbed it and Pedro ran into the keeper and he fell over the line in a blatent foul. The refs goal decision watch then buzzed off to say it was a goal and it counted.

Vicarage Road seems to like fake goals...remember Noel Hunt’s phantom goal back in the day?!

[tidus_mi2]

Lol I didn't realise Derby are now technically the worst side in the division. Not long before Sheff Wed overtake them now they've had their points deduction reduced.
