Both Norwich and Sheffield boosting their goal difference too.

As we should against Bolton at home next week after that today and a week off.

It's about time we drubbed someone. We don't score enough in games we've yet to hammer anyone. Just hope Roofe not injured for long. He's having a scan on a knee injury....

Be lucky to see Roofe back anytime soon unfortunately.
The injury curse is certainly hitting hard this season especially harder with a very lightweight squad.

Really praying lack of investment in Jan doesn't haunt us come season end....

I know at the risk of sounding negative but from what I have seen I still don`t think we will make the top two.
Like you have said lack of investment and a thin squad won`t help in this league.
Other teams in the top 6/7 have strengthened and brought in experience to see them in with a chance.
Sheffield for instance with their current strike force brought in another striker and were able to leave Sharpe on the bench last weekend.
Brown needs to play this weekend to soften the blow of losing Roofe.

Agreed. It's absolutley criminal we didn't replace Saiz imo. We have the weakest squad out of the top 4 teams but we have the best manager/coach. It will be a very Intersting run in. For me if we don't get promoted serious questions have to be asked of the owners.

I know Bielsa is no doubt the best manager in the league.
But is there an arrogance or more likely a naivety that he can get the team promoted without adding to the squad?
Has he been knocking the door down insisting he needs more players?
I personally think he made a mistake admitting to sending someone to spy on all his opponents.
This gives them time to change things round every time they play Leeds.
Saying all that if they do get promoted all I have said will be drivel

He likes a small squad doesn't he but it's clear he wanted to bring in someone in Jan. I'm just frustrated with the board as if we'd have not peed about with Dan James fee we could have brought him in or at least got one other in. We'd mickey the league if we had west broms squad.

nothing to do with the board. bielsa only wanted James and everything was agreed money wise. Swansea were at fault
