We played better yesterday in the first half and we should have been more comfortable. Second half we were back to hanging on and defending deep. We got a bit lucky to be honest. We tired and the subs were late. Wilson's introduction wad timely and impactful but it should have been made 30 minutes earlier. 

We need to capitalize on those periods where we dominate. Hopefully Taty and Pablo will offer us more threat and an outlet up front. The signs are a least good in that respect. 

I sometimes think people don’t actually watch the games, when we were hanging on? Why did we get lucky? We should have been 3 up. 

Our problem has been losing leads under Nuno. Our squad is non existent. We seem to compete in a lot of games for 60 mins but have no subs that wont weakrn us. Spurs, with 7 injuries and like just about every other team, can freshen things up with recent subs. Bissouma,  improved them for example 2nd half.  We bring on Guido or Soucek usually or Kilman but invariably get worse even though the players they replace are knackered

In my book we're going down but if by a miracle we stay up then that's a bonus.

One of the biggest problems we have is not only do we have to win our winnable games, we are now going to need to pull off some more results like yesterday. I would fancy Forest to win or draw their winnable games.

I think both us and Forest have at best another 20 points or there abouts and they have a 5 point start on us. . Hard to know how it'll pan out as we didn't expect to win yesterday, but there isnt a lot of wiggle room and we'll have to start pulling rabbits out of hats to have any hope.  Assuming its us or them and noother team collapses of course

Leeds next six matches could see them falter. We played much better yesterday as we have an outlet up front. I hope we keep Wilson 

With 7 points ar home and 10 away, i think we can conclude we need to fix our home form to gave any chance of keeping hope alive.  

Unfortunately we struggle with teams that sit deep and compact and who break quickly. The 2 new lads up top help simply due to their work ethic by pressing and challenging from the front throughout the time they are on the pitch.  But we still look far too slow and a tad too weak physically in challemges through the middle imho.  Been a long long time since West Ham controlled the midfield in a game for 45 mins let alone 90

My first game at the OS wll be Sunderland thanks to a MATE 

Who needs Mid table mediocrity and nothing to play for, when your still in the cup and scrapping in a relegation battle.

Bring it on.

Believe 

17 points with 16 games left
Reckon might need high 30’s so probably need 6 wins
Sunderland at home has to be one of them
Would still have us as down but need to get back into the pack in the bottom half & only wins will do

Palace are definitely in decline but have too many points already so will stay up no problem 

Are we now one of the only teams in the PL that are essentially playing 4-4-2? 
I feel like having 2 mobile attackers although not the sharpest, ends up bringing more balance. With just 1 guy up there isolated it always looks easy for defenders to deal with unless they are workhorses like Antonio.  pressing also better with a front 2. 

I suppose we will know more against Sunderland as spurs and qpr may not be a good benchmark for us. 

 

If nothing else the attitude, effort and fight was there yesterday although you have to question why it wasn't against the likes of Wolves. Still think we need more signings with quality as well as legs. Taty and Pablo at least run about a bit and fight for the ball but we need a bit more quality and another centre back even though Mav and Todibo did well yesterday.

They've done the bit where they give us a tiny bit of hope, just as we were getting used to the idea of a championship clear out. Next comes the shit all over us again bit where we don't turn up and get pumelled at home to Sunderland.

We need signings, hopefully that cսnt Sullivan will get a few in before the weekend so we at least have an option off the bench. 

If we can beat Sunderland then I think the great escape is on

Before Tottenham I thought nine wins from seventeen games would keep us up and we have made a decent start.

It's best not to worry about the teams above and concentrate on getting our own points on the board.

We really aren't that bad a team and could easily of beat Forest Brighton and Villa in that run of games around Christmas but a lack of leadership confidence basic errors and VAR stuffed us 

Hopefully we have turned a corner and this isn't a false dawn.

Maybe we will slso start to get the rub of the green more now we are playing better as we certainly haven't had it thus far.

Now we have the stress of dealing with a scintilla of hope until the next league game.
