They’ve not lost at home all season have they? If your Leeds you just go hell for leather. We will crumble and likely end up 3-0 down after half an hour. This will be the first game we get truly battered in my opinion. Leeds V Southampton could be a godsend on that final day.

We need to finish this season first…..

Exactly my thoughts. Our start set us apart, but it is easily undone. People calling those concerned bed wetters and nonchalantly saying “we will be fine” need to remember last season. This team still has a soft underbelly, and we’ve lost games that we really shouldn’t have. Today being one of them, comments like “they’re a decent team” they’re ****ing mid table, and we’re supposed to be run away champions….. I do have genuine concerns, this side definitely has a self implosion in it, and I’m concerned that a defeat to Leeds could end up knocking us for six. Perhaps last season has scarred me, but we’ve pissed away a lot of good situations in recent years, and I think we’re still well capable of doing it again.

It’s okay to be concerned….. and I am….. we’ve displayed some concerning characteristics at times this season, and I fear that if the pressure gets ramped up, we could fold.

Absolutely zero chance we get a result here. Their inconsistencies aside, 11 v 11 they’re a better team than us. They will turn is over comfortably. It then becomes a test of if we can do enough to stay in the top two. I think we’re going to fall out of form just at the wrong time. 4-0 Leeds.

Terrible timing for a terrible result. Lose to Leeds and the doubt will start to set in. I fear this is now going to turn into a fight, I just hope we’ve got the minerals to limp over the line.

We seem to struggle when things aren’t going our way, we’re fine when we’re winning, but ask us to fight and we struggle.

Not at all. There’s a lot of people who think us winning the league is a full gone conclusion, but at this stage of the season, two defeats back to back like this can be extremely damaging. It will also give the chasing pack hope. The problem is, we’re well capable of a ridiculous collapse, Enzo has done an incredible job, but there’s still a hit of last season in this team. I actually want us to piss it, I want us to beat readings record with ease, but I now fear that we will be dragged into a bit of a fight. I’m hearing a lot of people suggesting Boro are a good side, they’re ****ing mid table shit, this is a game we should be winning, and striding away at the top of the table.

There absolutely no chance we get back Into this game. Boro will likely get more. A horrible day considering we’ve got Leeds away next weekend, we had to win this game, two defeats in a row, with one to Leeds could be a genuine difference maker.

Should have started with Cannon. Daka is rubbish in these types of games. Frustrating because these are shit, yet they look comfortable. We could be here until next week and we still won’t score. ****ing hate Boro. What even are they? Just **** off.

I don’t think we’re capable of turning this around. We look well beaten in all honesty.

They’re gonna walk this. 3 or 4-0. And they’re shit. ****ing pissed off.

This is shit.

Boro are an awful side. Just dragging us down to their level. Can’t see us winning this. They will shit it to full time.

Us, Southampton and Leeds will all go up. I just hope it’s us with the title.

All of those cakes and doughnuts!

I agree. I think they’re in big trouble long term. Writings on the wall IMO.

Like this. In terms of complexity within the sport, there’s a lot about the game that makes me cringe when I watch it, and always has, tackling has always been something that irritates me. How many tackles have been missed down the years, through what can only be described as idiocy? I mean there was a moment in a Seahawks game where someone went to tackle without using their arms…… he essentially did a diving header into the opposing player, missed and they eventually made enough yardage to lead to a touch down…… I mean, an average rugby player wouldn’t kiss half the tackles some of these guys miss. The game once you get your head around the concept isn’t overly complicated I’d say, there’s a lot of niche rules and regs, but overall it’s a relatively simple game, with a lot going on I’d say? Like you say, the majority of it is all pre-planned plays, which is shown up when a team is having a real bad day at the office.

I really hope Forest do get punished, because the Johnson argument is complete nonsense…. Everyone is in the same boat, so why should they be given preferential treatment? Luckily, I think Forest will **** themselves…. There’s no real long term plan at the club other than needlessly spending money (mostly on crap) with no sale on fees, so in a season or two they will end up in a worse position than we did, with worse players…… so eventually their ridiculous spending will do their legs.

Agreed. The title winning season is just that one sporting miracle, a complete isolated incident where the stars aligned… that was a very different kind of love, a one hit wonder type of affair. With Enzo you can see him wanting to build something, it’s project he’s passionate about…. What we need to make sure though, is that everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet, he can’t be shackled, his visions need support otherwise it won’t work.

Can’t exactly write him off after this season. But I have reservations about his ability to be this comfortable in the premier league. With more aggressive pressing and better quality of attackers he’s liable to get found out a lot quicker.

I thought this the other night, the way defenders tend to stand off in one on one situations he will have them on toast, plus there’s not much parking the bus going on. He’s seriously stepped up in recent months and at times is unplayable. I just hope he follows more of the Mahrez path, and not so much other players who’s torn the championship apart but then struggled in the PL.

We will shit ‘em.

If there is an element of appearance’s then it’s probably more to do with the fact we don’t really want him all that much, there’s better out there than him, he hasn’t set the world alight.

We will 100% be in for Nanasi.
