Imagine on the last day we stay up and Micky and Romero get injured and miss the WC???
Imagine we go down and they don't get called up
Running stats appear to be up alot since Tudor came in. Maybe them fitness laps are starting to pay off. It really does feel like he's cleaning up an absolute mess left behind by Frank.
Tudor probably got off on the wrong foot by showing no love and dishing out some home truths. It probably harmed us in the short term where maybe our players low in confidence just wanted a small pick me up or the famous Harry Redknapp arm around the shoulder treatment. But them home truths were probably what we needed to actually take this situation seriously! Hopefully we're now starting to see the benefit of that.
I still have major concerns around Tudor's team selection and parts of his man-management. But tactically he's surprised me so far and does look more adaptable that any of our previous managers. Ange was all out attack while Frank just wanted to sit off against every team. Let's see how this goes. I guess it's one game at a time for now but some encouraging trends starting to develop.

Pah that's nothing compared to the distance I covered waiting for the final whistle to blow.
I am thinking the same thing..one draw against the worst Liverpool in years is not turning the corner...let's see how the rest of the season goes before throwing our hats in the air...
I’d wait till after the Forest game to even get remotely excited about scraping a draw with the scallies. That won’t mean fuck all if we then lose to Forest.
Drawing with the dippers means more than losing to them.
Thats all it means.
Beating Forest would be great but also mean nothing if we lose the game after . And vice versa.
The worst Liverpool in years normally beats us at Anfield.
And they're still 5th in the league.

Given the way our season has gone, I'll enjoy/celebrate any morsel I can get. That includes drawing at Anfield.
Tbf it does mean something. Every point counts
You know it's the worst Tottenham team there's been in years as well don't you?
Or the country walk I took to avoid the game?Pah that's nothing compared to the distance I covered waiting for the final whistle to blow.
I still enjoyed it though especially the cheating wankers getting booed off the pitch by their own fans at the end!
You mean ‘Dogging’?
Yes surely we would may be performed even better if Porro was playing where Souza was so that he could naturally cross the ball from out wide. Put spending at rb and Souza lb. That was the most obvs thing to do. Sometime even if you play half decent or get a result doesn’t mean things couldn’t be done better. I think in every game he has handicapped us in one way or another.
It’s songs as to how we need to play with two up top. Play Porro RW to keep putting balls into the box. Don’t play gray or Gallagher there ffs. Just keep it simple basic stuff as most teams can’t handle balls into the box.
I don't know if Tudor is doing as good job as the next person but he absolutely is doing no worse than Rosenior is doing at filth club, or Pereira at Forest.
No idea whether tudor turns it around or not but I will say as soon as west ham got nuno I was confident he'd keep them up. Still might end up wrong obviously but the point is he didnt come in and work immediate miracles. Over a bit of time he's got them looking like a team who wouldn't be anywhere near relegation over the course of a season.
Whether tudor does that for us is anyone's guess but we put so much hope in "new manager bounce" that we forgot anyone coming in would likely still see a few defeats at first. The team has been completely shot of confidence for so long.
If we lose to forest fair enough get rid. But if we draw or better I could feel some confidence in what hes doing. Such is the tightly strung nature of what hes walked into
