That is the problem many fans look at, they look at other teams results at say chelsea for saints today, saints and other teams have that shock in them probably to do that, though i didnt expect it, i dont think we do, defo not at chelsea and we have not won there since the 90s, but you never know, for me we should try and go for games that we are not expected to winForest are ridiculous at home, don't think they've lost since September. That's one you scramble a draw out of.
Can't just write off Chelsea away after what Southampton have just done.

Never forget that being in the top flight is in our DNA. Being a yo-yo club is in Wolves's. Being out of the top flight is a common experience for Leeds. Being in the lower leagues is Bournemouth's story. All of this matters when the chips are down. For us, it can go two ways: we collapse under the pressure, or we remember who we are. Given we stayed up last time, we have enough institutional and squad muscle memory to stay up once more.Bit of a reality check for Lopetegui and any sense of new manager bounce evaporated I hope. They'll be questioning the new signings. He looked tired at Sevilla and you wonder if he is up for a scrap.
That could happen to Dyche as well of course but at least mentally, this is his zone, his territory.
It's week by week but at least we're swinging some punches now. And today was a direct uppercut to Leeds.
They're all must wins til we hit 40 points mate. All that matters is the table at the end of the season.Villa becomes a Leeds-type must-win now
Makes our result even more important. Had we lost today we'd be joint bottom.Absolutely shocking results elsewhere. Typical![]()
Alan ball wouldn't be happy with a win like this
It doesn’t matter, it’s actually more valuable to get your three points from the teams around you, not ‘unexpected‘ points from teams further up the league which is why they’re know as proverbial ’six pointers’…..plus we also know that teams will unexpectedly get and drop points between now and seasons endThe problem is today is a game we will have targeted while forest, Bournemouth, and Southampton won’t have been thinking about getting points from theirs.
