Just watched MOTD I thought the best team won but we should have had a point bar god awful defending for the second goal. Not too upset though we are still in a better position than I ever dreamed we would be after the last 5 games.
I never thought we would get anything at Fulham, not even a draw. They are one of the form teams at the moment and their tight pitch doesn’t suit our style of play. Forget it and move on to the next game which will also be tough.
To say i was gutted by yesterdays result is a complete understatement.I wake up this morning slightly less gutted and now i feel that we still have a brilliant chance of staying up and boy would i have taken our current position just two short weeks back.
Three defeats in 11 is fantastic form and we always lose at Dulham anyway with their drab 1920s ground and their under 12s size pitch!
We have 2 home games one against already doomed Wolves and an away game that is probably as winnable as it has ever been since we came to the Premier in 2005.
Newcastle are on a brilliant run granted but runs always come to an end and they will be expected to roll us over next saturday – also bear in mind our home record against the top sides is not that bad this season.
We ARE staying up and that coming from me of all people after all my darkside rants this season has to be a positive.The best team unfortunately did win.
Latics, lethargic after recent inspiring performances, were flat and back to old ways. Only exception being first 10-15 mins in 2nd half, reflected in goal. Losing Di Santo unfortunate, Sammon not up to it.
Pity, lady luck deserted us and we didn’t pick up what would have been a valuable point. Can ill afford to rely on others doing us any favours (notably, Spurs).
For me, 5 points required to keep us up (target: 40):
– Newcastle : must not lose (momentum, confidence…)
– Wolves : last day winWhen the Blackburn game comes around on Bank Holiday Monday, then we’ll know exactly what we need to do points-tally-wise – all other teams in the relegation scrap having only the one game to play.
We’ll need to consider the possibility of last day upsets
E.g.
Man City – QPR (Man U – champions)
Chelsea – BlackburnRecall the Man U – West Ham game some years back (Latics last day win at Sheff Utd). Tevez, the goalscorer in 0-1 win for Hammers.
Latics now back in the doo-doo somewhat after recent performances. All to play for ….
