Come on Southampton, one more please
They both sound bad don't they? Mobsters bury people in cement, so to me that sounds like you are saying we are dead anyway.Fact is , our next 2 matches could put us well out of it , or cement us
Looking increasingly tough.I notice in the betting odds for promotion we are still favourities for 6th place. See Preston although only 2 points behind us are 100-1(if they beat us them odds will tumble) with most bookies yet Sunderland 2 points worse off and without a manager are as low as 22-1.
I also noticed odds in the relegation QPR( 8 points in the last 5 games) are favoured over Stoke( 3 points in their last 5) to go down. Stoke have 3 more points but have a worse GD.Those 3 points could be gone Saturday as QPR home to Rotherham and Stoke away to Cardiff.Strange odds?
WBA will pull away in 5th spot. It's us vs Hull and Norwich for 6th. Prepare for a 2-leg semi-final play-off against Ipswich, and a Wembley final vs. WBA!
A lot of people saying Ipswich are a weak side and will begin to drop places? Not seeing that and they still keep winning. Wouldn’t fancy facing them if we were to be in the play offs and they didn’t achieve autos.Not so convinced about WBA as yourself. If (and it's a mighty IF) we beat them, they are still within touching distance of us. And not sure that either So'ton or Leeds would beat WBA over a two legged semi. Ipswich definitely the weakest of the top 5 so far.
All we can do is keep performing and getting points. Things will only become clear after the final whistle of the 46th game of the season.

they were lucky last night - only a couple of good plays let them beat RotherhamA lot of people saying Ipswich are a weak side and will begin to drop places? Not seeing that and they still keep winning. Wouldn’t fancy facing them if we were to be in the play offs and they didn’t achieve autos.
Plenty of twist and turns yet, nothing changes we still need to pick up pts on Friday. 3 would be great 1 pt is not a disaster.
I wouldn’t say beating bottom of the league Rotherham at home 4-3 with the last kick of the match the result of the century.A lot of people saying Ipswich are a weak side and will begin to drop places?

True but when you snatch last minute wins and grind out results? Win ugly? They don’t seem to give upI wouldn’t say beating bottom of the league Rotherham at home 4-3 with the last kick of the match the result of the century.

my point is that if they drop to the playoffs we can beat themIpswich have to lose 9 games out of thirteen for us to make up the points deficit and we have to win 9 games. Even then we would be on the same points. Ipswich have lost 4 games all season, no way will we finish above them.

Got to love a spreadsheet.Not so convinced about WBA as yourself. If (and it's a mighty IF) we beat them, they are still within touching distance of us. And not sure that either So'ton or Leeds would beat WBA over a two legged semi. Ipswich definitely the weakest of the top 5 so far.

Better than scrawling on the back of a fag packet.Got to love a spreadsheet.
Did the same HM, on my spreadsheet, had to change it first day in as I had WBA drawing and Hull losing, my son says it all the time 'shows what you know about football'Better than scrawling on the back of a fag packet.
I paid for MS Office, might as well use it
Same. Thought we'd beat Brizzle and draw at Stoke. Those results were reversed so I'm still on track for 75 points at the end of the season.Did the same HM, on my spreadsheet, had to change it first day in as I had WBA drawing and Hull losing, my son says it all the time 'shows what you know about football'
I did say that people saying 5th was gone were panicking too prematurelyWin our GIH and were close to 5th again
You would put money on Albion beating Rotherham with ease, but when a team is already relegated they tend to play with no fear.Mad how we’ve reeled WBA back in a bit, thought they were sure thing for playoffs a couple of games ago. Though, they have got a sure 3 points next against Rotherham. Need Leicester to return the favour for us against them.
Not the Huddersfield draw or the Preston defeat or the Rotherham defeat or the ….I’ve got a feeling we’ll look back on that Cardiff loss at the end of the season and be kicking ourselves.
