I guess like any of the three of us it's immaterial if we finish first or second.

A heavy defeat at Blues tonight and I would be surprised if he even makes our game
I’m always objective after we loseFootball fans aren't known for their objectivity, and nor should they be!
Only ever been to West Brom twice. First one was 0-0 and a dour game and the second, they beat us 7-1 and Regis was unstoppable.
Our record there is awful. I tell a lie actually. I did see us win in 1995 FA Cup Replay, Dublin and Ndlovu with 2 late goals
If we want to go up then all these awful records (PNE, Norwich, WBA) need to go out the window...
Even if we were the best team in the world and on a 500 game winning streak, we’d still fail to win at Deepdale.
“It’s a shame it’s ended this way…….”
It’s like some of our fans have been reading a novel and lapping it up. Then they come across a plot twist they were not expecting; so they have impatiently turned to the last chapter to find out the ending.
To their horror the last chapter is missing and they have sank into despair with where they are at in the story.
But hang on, only half the book has been written, it’s being released in weekly instalments. Anything can happen yet.

'Ended'. F*cking hell. A third of the season left.
That 7-1 defeat was my first ever away game - chocolate strip if my (distant) memory is right??
It wasn’t even a bad performance either, Lampard hit the nail on the head when he said if the game is replayed, we win almost every time.
Coincidentally, the first away game I remember. I think I went to other away games before this but can't remember.
Assante back game after next. EMC next week, hopefully, Frank the tank and the other new lad.. Hopefully like 4 new signings.
We know the game isn’t replayed, but what he said bears some relevance to our game on Saturday.
Well at least as much as over analysing a game we aren’t even involved in and bears no relevance to our league position.
okay go and revisit some of the chances Middlesbrough and Ipswich spaffed to win games when we were flying. Look at teams we have beaten but that team looked much better in the game they played before us.
Each game is different. They are not comparable. In football success and failure is measured in inches. The Championship throws up inconsistent results from week to week. In Oxford’s position once a goal down after 60 seconds they have to be more adventurous than they were against us. It’s a different game with different circumstances.
Yeah Norwich have a striker that can be arsed and didn't put a sitter wide.
Their full back puts a great ball in to be attacked and not some weird floaty shite.
You do, you sound like a stroppy kid. Okay Haji missed a good chance, but it wasn’t a sitter. The way he ran on to the ball he looked like he could be arsed to me. “Can’t be arsed“ glib comments like that. If you have played football you would know, you can have skill, you can have motivation, you can put the effort in as a team - but some days it just doesn’t workout for you. If you have never missed a sitter yourself Nick you couldn’t be very good, never in the right place. If you have missed a sitter and lost games you should have won, your posts would be more balanced.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the month tbh. There is no lead to rest on Our laurels anymore. You have to expect were gonna see a very up for it cov and hopefully one that thrives under the pressure not wilts.
Not that I'm comparing Wright to Cole Palamer but that was a sitter that Palmer missed right at the end of the Chelsea game last night.
I’m afraid this is the correct analysis as things stand right now. I’d love to be proven wrong but I don’t can’t even see us succeeding in the play-offs right now. I’ll be surprised if we even scrape a draw against Middlesbrough.
Mboro have been good for 6 games, and eveyones going on like they’re a prime Barcelona with these mind blowing tactics that are unstoppable, rubbish,we turn up Monday and there’s no reason Why we can’t win, we brought Onyeka in to help where we’ve been struggling, he could be the difference ? Asante to come back, it’s nowhere near over, you watch what happens if we win Monday, it‘ll give the players and fans a massive lift,
