I'm expecting a defeat on Saturday, but remember last season when Brentford looked certain for auto promotion until the last couple of games, and then imploded, losing to at home to Barnsley of all teams who escaped relegation by 1 point.True and I only started to get a bit worried after QPR, but I have always been confident we would say up.
It's such positive news that we are in April, have 7 games to go and are 7 points clear.
Didn't look like it was going to be anything like that a little while back.
I am expecting nothing on Saturday, so any points at all will be such a massive bonus.
Actually that side in 1984/85 was one of our weaker surviving relegation teams, It was a close one that year for sure Still had some very good players in it of course . That team played its best football of the season right at the end thankfully.Yes, of course, but I really don't think Rotherham are that good and I can't see them picking many points at all from those games in hand. I think they have too many games to cram in, in too little time.

I don't think Painter played a single first team game for us did he?It was a joke really. We were terrible versus Stole and would have gone down but for the penalty miss (a player we then oddly signed to hardly ever play) a desperate late goal v Luton and a farce of a game against a team who really didn’t want to be there
Ah that late penalty miss. Listened to it on the radio – it bounced down off the bar onto the line I think, and the commentator changed his mind about three times whether it was a goal or not! Nobody did relegation escapes like the Sky Blues in those days.It was a joke really.

All the Everton players were hungover from the night before, they had no interest in that game.I disagree though regarding Everton , we were great against Everton from start of the game and would have beat ANYONE that day with team performance and the crowd behind us.
Don't say that! Sunderland will latch on to that and say the bar bill was paid for by Jimmy Hill.All the Everton players were hungover from the night before, they had no interest in that game.
That was the first match I ever went to - fantastic memories. Remember my uncle helping to lift me over the fence to get on to the pitch to celebrate and getting grease all over a new tracksuit.All the Everton players were hungover from the night before, they had no interest in that game.

Wash your mouth out!
2-1 to the Tykes.
They can win 6-0 as long as they have 6 players sent off.Suspensions and injuries for the Tykes please. Every little helps.
Good start. Sheff Weds 1-0 down.
And you've got it. For now anyway
Not so good now. Not with Brum winning.To be perfectly honest, I'd be reasonably happy if the scores stayed like this at half time. No side nearer than 6 points to us.
There are lots of near the end of season games where teams aren't interested. Mid table nothing to play for and trying out youngsters. In fact the whole season is a mish mash - you can only play what is in front of you on the day.All the Everton players were hungover from the night before, they had no interest in that game.
That's what the juke gives you
not as good as Cody though
Just to test your nerves a little ...QPR are giving 2 full debuts to youngsters tonight
