Norrin, I don't know much about Brighton. Do you have the set up to stay in the PL if you go up? I know you have been knocking on the door for a couple of years and that Chris Hughton comes across as a very decent bloke so I would like to see you go up. Do you think you could do a Watford / Bournemouth?

my good Lord ,they have been there abouts for a few seasons like you say ,the set up is definitely PL quality as is the the stadium .
Houghton has the whole place buzzing again and im pretty sure that a couple of decent signings if they go up they could do more than hold there own .
hopefully they can get there this year.

c`mon Homer you were fretting that you were going to be struggling to stay up at the start of the season ,now you are moaning about a great comeback against the best side in the league.



oh and Brighton won again .

Thing is we were top three and then top six for a while. Then we went on a slide. It's our home form that's killing us and we can't sustain a play off campaign with that. On the plus side our away form is better than it has been for many seasons

Well chuffed. Hope RickG wasn't looking down on that especially given the way his beloved Terriers had been going this season

I bet That result killed a few accumulators, can't remember the last time our noisy neighbours scored so many 🤔

Fantastic Fulham last night. Unstoppable on that performance and should have been out of sight by half time. When we play in that vein we're as good as anyone but we can't seem to do it at home. Strange as we could never travel and it was always our home form, especially in the PL years that kept us going. Top six definitely a possibility but knowing Fulham we'll find a way to nous it up in a new and fresh manner. It's in their DNA!

We are but you seem to struggle at the cottage. Might get a tenner on 0-0 then. I think we've turned a corner in the last few weeks but I've been impressed by your own progress. Still a few in work moaning about Stam though
If we keep doing well, we may struggle to keep Stam. Complete change of playing style, and amazingly players have adapted really quickly. Still need a decent striker, but we will cause teams problems this season.
