Heisenberg Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Twitter bolleaux is linking Antony Knockaert to Ipswich on loan.Decent signing that - If we hadn't got Ince/Lingard, I wouldn't have been too disappointed with that. Tore us a new one in the cup game, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I'm on Norwich to win the league at 11/1 and still think they'll go close. On paper they've got the easiest fixtures with us and boro at home being the two tough ones. Plus they've got a really strong squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Boro at Hillsborough on Sat. That's 0-0. And Norwich have Ipswich in the 6 finger derby on Sunday. One of them will have to stop breathing down our necks at least. Maintain a high performance and we'll have a safety net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It will soon get to the stage where the top teams play each other and we won't know who we want to win.I was all for Bournemouth winning their games, don't think I am anymore. Boro still have Watford, Norwich, Ipswich and Bournemouth to play (as well as us) - not sure if it would be better hoping they actually win some of these.Our next three matches represent a great chance for us to maintain a bit of a gap head in to that run of fixtures against the top teams.I wonder if Bournemouth are feeling the pressure now?

Bris Vegas Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I agree entirely in that it doesn't really matter if we win the league or finish second - it will count for nothing come the start of next season.In fact, I'm pretty sure over the years there has been no real advantage to whoever wins the league.QPR won it ahead of Swansea and Norwich the other year but were the first to go down. Leicester Aren't exactly doing great this year? Cardiff and Reading both won the league in recent years and finished bottom the season after.I'd lik Boro to go up, but I reckon they'd do quite well in the Premier League. If I was to think ahead, probably Ipswich and Norwich would be the best bet to go up as both appear the sort of teams that would struggle up there.

StaffsRam Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Remember before we went to their place Bournemouth were relishing the chance of opening up a six point gap as we were in the FA Cup the following weekend. Oh dear....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Another big weekend for us.Here's the fixtures for the sides involved in the top 8.Brum v BrentfordB'mouth v BlackburnCardiff v WolvesFulham v DerbyLeeds v WatfordSheff Wed v BoroSunday: Norwich v IpswichI'd say we all have tough games. Only two of the top 8 play at home, with one of those (Norwich) having their local derby v a fellow top six side.If I had to predict it I'd get Brentford draw, Bournemouth win, Wolves win, Derby win, Watford draw, Boro draw, Ipswich v Norwich draw.That would do me nicely as the table would then read:Derby 68Boro 64Bournemouth 62Ipswich 61Norwich 60Watford 60Brentford 59Wolves 57That would give us a four point buffer to second, six point buffer to third & nine points to 7th.

eddie Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 On the other hand, it could be another one of those unpredictable weekends when only one side or even none at the top wins. Plenty of potential banana skins wherever you look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Got to admit, the top seven (I don't really rate Wolves) are doing excellent this season and it's a shame one of these will miss out on a playoff spot.That said, how good are the playoffs going to be this year? Far better than last year IMO where QPR were boring, Wigan were out of form and not actually that good and Brighton were pretty average.I'd love to see this:Norwich vs BoroBournemouth vs WatfordBut if we grab an auto spot then chances are one of the four teams above will too.I can't see Ipswich or Brentford making the top two in all fairness but they'd also be very strong over two legs in the playoffs I'd imagine - especially Ipswich.
