In a way..way we're playing think rather just skip this one. Cause it's so rare we lose to them but we've been setting new records and things this season sooo wouldn't surprise me

Last time was such a fight back and just don't feel we can..hopefully wrong cause...

To managers both under pressure, make no mistake about it Maresca is, don't listen to the noise that he isn't, it's bullshit

I don't know. I get the feeling the board like him because he does as told. Additionally, as they're stats nuts I am sure the sideways/backwards passing has them wanking over possession stats.

He has changed his message in recent press conferences from, he was never told by the owners that Top 4 is the target for this season, to now he is saying top 4 is the target this year. I do think if he wins Europa Conference and by doing so secures Europa League, he is good for next year.

yes I also notice a changed in his behaviour at the conference press 

well, I think he is feeling the pressure of the fans

My feeling is they probably didn't start the season with a specific target for him of top 4, but after seeing us in 2nd and even now being in 4th, it has become a clear target in both the fans, manager, players, directors, and owners eyes surely. So whether it was a formal target at the beginning of the season or not, it is now de facto a target because it is totally in grasp and it will be a bottle job if we give it up this close to the end of the season.

We have one of the toughest, if not the toughest, run-ins to the end of the season with tough fixtures back to back. I would also add the United fixture to that list.

The bottle job already happened in December and Jan, when we could have been out of sight in the top 4 race.

Think we'll do spuds, struggle v Brentford, beat Ipswich struggle v Fulham, beat Everton - and the last four Vermin, barcodes, Utd and Forest - we'll fuck up. But we'll have plenty of possession and sideways passing

The owners don't seem to care - as long as they make personal profit

We are not making top 4. Time to plan for Enzo sale in the summer to balance the books
