Bubble has burst. We looked clueless tonight, out thought, out played and out battled. Tactically it ain't working at all, we look found out and we have no plan b. Playoffs it is unless we conjure up a stunning run of 8 wins, but we don't look like winning 8 more this season.

Announce Rooney's Birmingham winning 1-0 with a goal from the usual 35 year old nuisance Jutkiewicz.

Birmingham won about 1 in 10......you just know they're going to turn it around against us....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dreading it actually. They beat us earlier in the season and we have a bad habit of ending other teams terrible runs for them.

We're the gift that keeps on giving in that respect.

It is quite incredible how many times this actually happens.

For me, this form table is a real worry.

WBA, Hull and Sunderland all significantly in same place above us and all could well overtake us and jeopardise our play off chances. Bristol and Boro also up there form-wise:

Yep, wonder what it would show last 5 matches as our 0-2 win at Blackburn would drop out of the averages.

I’ll never understand why we play so badly every
Christmas/New Year. It doesn’t matter which league we are in, it always seems to happen. Even the one season when we were the exception. under Bielsa, and were top of the Championship on Christmas Day we managed to disprove the theory that the team at the top would be promoted!
To drop from top of the form table to where we are now is just inexplicable. I’m not feeling particularly “happy New Year”-ish atm but at least Lowfields is ecstatic!

Form tables were mentioned above.

Was thinking that we seem to have played a lot of the tougher teams away already and was wondering what our run-in looked like…especially away from home, versus those above us.

Found this
https://www.soccerstats.com/table.asp?league=england2&tid=10

It does seem that, if we can keep the home form going, we’ve got far ‘easier’ away matches to come versus those that Ipswich and Southampton have.

Eg
Southampton have to play away at Norwich, Ipswich, Plymouth, Cardiff, Bristol, West Brom, Leeds
Swansea, Leicester.

Ipswich have to play away at Norwich, Coventry, Hull, Plymouth, Cardiff, Preston, Millwall, Swansea, Leicester.

Whilst probably our hardest away matches are Cardiff, Bristol, Middlesbrough, Swansea, Plymouth, Coventry, Watford


Our last match is a home game versus Southampton!

Could be all on that last match !!!
