Improved measurably in recent weeks. Their two key olayers on loan from premier league clubs. Smallbone and Hoever. Wouldnt like to play them in the playoffs thats for sure and they have a decent run in. Can they make the 8 point gap up? It is possible.

Southampton are struggling but they have two excellent players out on loan in the. Championship in Tella and Smallbone. Saints fans must be frustrated.
 
Too many teams for Stoke to reign in. Did look a good side though. Rathbone and their right back were the best players on the pitch.

I never like playing against Neil teams.

Reading the Oatcake their fans decidly chipper and were disappointed they didnt actually win. Only two teams have had more possession than us at the Riverside so far. Brighton and now Stoke.

Should add that they reckon they will find it hard to keep their 5 loanees if they don't go up.
 
Though if they did, it would almost certainly mean that we'd made the play-offs as the teams below us would have imploded.
 
I can't see them making the play offs. They are 14th and 11 points below Blackburn in 6th. They are 5 points behind Sunderland in 12th. They would not only have to have an almost perfect run in but a lot of teams above them would have to have a terrible one.

Agree with their fans, they could perhaps should have won last night, we were poor in the second half. That said, Chuba could have had a hattrick in the first 20 mins. Draw probably right result.

You are right. 11 points in the last 10 games is too much to make up but they can do damage to Norwich and West Brom's hopes hopefully The rest of their fixtures are against bottom half teams.
