On a different thread. Cycle injury, mendingA bit like Saint season. A bit rubbish but signs of life are there and prognosis is good
Averaging 1.5 points under Ralph. Dread to think what would have happened without him
Redmond looks like a different player.
How many points dropped from winning positions this season ??
Very disappointing we couldn't hang on for the win - I reckon those extra 2 points would have seen us safe.
Still, another point gained and, with Brighton losing, our superior GD effectively puts us 4 points ahead of them.
A bright point was Shane Long (whod've thunked it) and his fastest ever PL goal, to sit alongside Mane's fastest ever PL hat-trick.
Onwards to a massive game at home to Bournemouth this Saturday.

It is a real shame we let it go right at the end. 2 massive points dropped but, if I hadn't have known when the goals were scored and someone said before the match "would you take a 1-2 draw?" I'd have said yes.....Cardiff basically need to pick up 7 points and us lose all 3 for us to go down....and Brighton must pick up a few too of course.
I'd like to think we're safe, but you never know until it's mathematically impossible to go down!

When I look at the run in of Brighton, I think it's Newcastle, Arsenal and Man City, I don't see them getting 4 points. I can't recall who Cardiff have in their last 3 but I don't see them getting 9 points so I am feeling ok about it.
We should also beat Huddersfield on the last day but would be nice to be safe at the end of the weekend.
I don;t know if it's fitness or mentality at the end of the game, but we seem to drop back and let the opposition come onto us

Seeing out games - it certainly seemed fitness was the issue when Strachan first came to the club. I think it's mindset / belief with the current crop.I'd be happy for us to creep over the line this season and hope that Ralph and his team can work their magic on the players over the summer.
