Have I over slept and it's April already if we're ruling out catching other teams based on one result?

He doesn’t ever beat his man with much purpose though. If he does it gets took off him by the next. Or slips.

Why have 2 men on the ball for a FK wide left 40 yards from goal?

A mate from Holland ordered me 3 points for my birthday on condition I collect them from the Madjeski.
Many thanks. Will do!

If you think the away following this season hasn’t affected the results I presume you haven’t been to any of them.

Maybe, but I don’t think Reading will be feeling too safe if we beat them tomorrow. Hopefully they play for a point, just to be undone by a Laurence worldy in the last minute. He is due one.

Ignore me was being facetious. Was alluding more to the tribunal cases.
I need to get my 5 a day jibes in at Morris, my voodoo doll has run out of places to stick pins.

What will likely cost us this season is our form against the teams we hope to be competing with to avoid relegation. I don't know what the issue is that means we raise our game against teams near the top, but lower it for teams at the bottom. From now on we have to be absolutely ruthless against any teams we might be able to catch. It's great to beat the top teams but counts for nothing if we can't also beat the likes of Reading who we will likely need to overtake to avoid the drop.
This lot haven't played for ages, while we are match hardened. We have to take the game to them from the start, so they don't know what's hit them. And we have to be ruthless in front of goal. No let up.
Every game at the moment is a cup final. A win here means everything and reduces the gap to safety to single figures. Come on you Rams!

Great game to take him to. Trust he enjoyed it. ??.
After 5 or 6 years of taking my lad to away matches, he asked me at the start of the season if it was OK if he went with his mates? “Of course it is” I said, then went back downstairs with my diary, fixture list and highlighter pens in my hand ?.

I agree, if people want to chant I don’t really mind, it’s how they feel and express themselves on the terrace. It’s not that productive though. I can see his face with a smug grin feeling justified.
Banners are better, however the one about G*****n would have to circle the ground twice. Maybe some organising with many banners, at least outside the ground might generate some press interest? Without being libellous of course.

We need to win this one, so we must play our strongest available team. Rest players in the cup game.

Same starting line up. Have to reward those who've been playing their hearts out. Be prepared to make subs on the hour mark though. Wazza has seemed more decisive and quicker to change things up recently so that'd be my game plan, but he's not got much wrong in recent weeks so I'd be confident in whatever side he selects right now.
On that note, dropping Ravel and the King has been an absolute masterstroke as they've been properly pumped when called upon having looked leggy beforehand. Coming out like uncaged lions now. CKR has clearly hated not starting but has responded brilliantly to the challenge. He seems so calm in the critical moments right now which is a new and very welcome development. He and Ravel also developing an almost psychic understanding and the latter now clearly understanding that he doesn't have to do it all himself. A lot of mutual respect between those two lads and it's a joy to see. And are we seeing Ravel finally start to settle at a club and could that unleash the extra gears I feel certain he possesses? Pretty sure the King has taken him under his wing as there's some commonality there in terms of their backgrounds and history.
Back on strategy, giving a rampaging Festy 30 minutes against tiring legs seems to work brilliantly too. He's a player who clearly loves the game and as some good judges on here predicted, he's even more of a handful running from deeper. Some real healthy competition for game time at the moment then, despite the low head count. Jozwiak also looking like the player we see on international breaks now, possibly because those around him are playing better? I'm certain it's just a lack of confidence that's stymied his progress but he looks a different prospect in a side playing with a bit more confidence. I'm sure too that he and others are responding to the fans. Gone are the groans and moans at every little mistake, now replaced with the most staunch support in the EFL. Can't underestimate how that helps the players, especially those a tad short on confidence.
Nod to Stearman too who seems a model pro giving plenty every time he gets his chance and clearly not sulking when he doesn't. We look like a proper team at the moment rather than a collective of individuals. Wazza galvanising the players into a side that reminds me of Sheffield under Wilder so he clearly has more man-management skills than I'd supposed. There are a few sides we absolutely can't match man for man in terms of raw ability, but we do have some quality too and none can match our lads for team spirit right now.
Last unheralded member of a team on fire, who clearly deserves a big up is our very own @Inverurie Ram for the quality match threads. Inspirational AND informative. Keep working your magic fella! Another 2 or 3 weeks and you'll have dragged us close to achieving the impossible. Legendary status awaits!

Agreed, we all know this but we are trying to bask in a 3 win run. Can we just have that before I have kittens??
