Says a lot about why we'll stay up imo.
Phillips, a player who has played for City, been a standout international player, who is trying to build his career back, and look at his delight for Taylor, a player who plays in his position, who didn't always get many minutes because of the pair ahead of him, who has been patient and worked hard and has improved his level and looks comfortable in the PL.
Look at Conor Townsend. A really good professional who has come in as back up and look at how pleased he is for a Burgess. A CB who has played through the leagues, has been continually written off and has worked hard to take every opportunity given to him.
And Burgess with his arm around a brilliant young talent who when he first arrived was tricks and flicks but no impact who has been coached and improved and worked hard to listen and take onboard everything and who is now giving Premier League defences the run around..
Thinks it's a great image of a squad with so much heart and determination |

Too much heart in the squad, too much brilliance from McKenna to go down.
We can and will get better too. Strengthen in January and we can attack 2025. |

I'm not sure what's going on. KM says he's going to be involved. He looked good against Forest and Palace but didn't get on ahead of Clarke on Sunday.
He deserves more minutes. |

That the team are showing.
It's easy to support a football team when it's successful. We've been spoilt with the last few seasons but let's remember before. We still had good support even when it was the bleakest of times under Evans. Follow the town up or down means something!
These players are giving everything and playing their hearts out. They've been a joy to watch for nearly 3 years.
We've had some great preferences performances against huge Prem teams who have had years of the big money. Stuart Watson pointed out that Bournemouth put on three subs worth 60m at the end. Their keeper played for Real Madrid.
We've got to relish the David V Goliath fight.
I'm still convinced we will stay up.

With a package of all the goals we've given away from winning positions
Still, there's no way KM and this squad go down without a fight. Just going to have to do it the hard way, just as we did in a way with the League One promotion run when we looked out of it. |

All have very difficult sets of Christmas/New Year fixtures
It's easy to think it's just us up against it.
Long, long way to go yet.
I think of all the teams down there, we have the biggest ceiling for improvement.
Wolves, Newcastle and Fulham games offer more than a chance to get a foothold back. |

Thread | Burgess and O'Shea outstanding
at 19:14 8 Dec 2024
There's too much bravery and commitment in this squad to roll over.
Today was sickening. We're up against it and in the trenches but we've got brilliant characters through the side.
4 points off safety in the Premier League with well over half the season left and a top class manager.
We'd have killed to be in this position during the darkest Evans days.
Keep the faith. |

Thread | We owe Burns and all the League one/Champ squad...
at 21:35 4 Dec 2024
...a hell of a lot. The least we can do give them our unequivocal support.
I'd rather get relegated with Burns, Chappers, Burg, Broady, Hirst, Mass etc giving it a go than stay up with a load of journeymen/loan signings or experienced prem players who don't mean anything to us.
Seeing Broady last night just underlined that we mustn't forget what got us here.
We needed quality and better players like Cajuste, Phillips, Delap, O'Shea etc.
But heart and the verve of the promotion teams still there. I hope KMac uses them well over this period.
Would like to see Mass get some more minutes. And Ali looked good yesterday. What a moment if he could get a goal.
I just have this feeling Broady is going to get us going again over next few games. He's always looked hungry but looks bang up for it after being out of the team for so long.

Thread | Palace streetwise, some of our fans leaving on 80, and keeping the faith
at 22:01 3 Dec 2024
Thought similarly to Forest we came up against a side that has done its homework. Physical and well organised. That didn't really create that much but they were very well set and hard to break down. I think teams are a bit more aware of us now and they are adjusting. Could be compete nonsense but I think Palace pressed aggressively but in controlled manner and kept their shape. They didn't press too much into the final third so we couldn't suck them in in the way we normally do.
Delap is a wonderkid but we can't keep flogging him. Thought he looked a little goosed today.
Both Clarkes good in many moments but also slightly dodgy. O'Shea outstanding and Cajuste Very good.
A rare game where KMac didn't seem to have the answer. I think we need the changes even earlier and he's got to stop himself flogging players through fear of the replacements not quite being of the level.
Ali and Broady did well. Pleased for Ali because a moronic minority have c been disrespectful. I think Broady needs to start next game.
Burns needs his confidence back.
Fair few fans leaving on 80 minutes! Now is the time to double down on the belief. We will stay up but it's going to be a fight to the wire.
Bournemouth huge game for our self belief.

Thread | My report on today and silver linings
at 18:00 30 Nov 2024
Forest started well but we rode it out and started to grow into the game. Played some good stuff but just looked a little off it in terms of final ball/decision. Think we had the best of the first half overall though. Second half the penalty caught us cold and we lost all energy for a period. Came on strong at the end as we always do but just couldn't force an opening.
Still, a competitive game and not terrible by any means considering where they are in the league.
A little off it up front. Can't expect Delap to always do it himself.
Was good to see Broady. Thought he looked sharp and good considering lack of game time. Can see him being important in this period coming up.
Clarke a little rash again. He's a good player and no point getting on his back but decision making is sometimes poor. If Axel is out that'll be tough.
Cajuste was good again. I still think we'll be more than okay but next three games are big. |

Has been brilliant again in the minutes he's got so far. Must be so frustrating for him. Still he made an impact when he got back last year so let's hope his return next year is similar! |
