I do think people have let Binks off the hook a bit. The ball was going slow enough he could’ve cleared it. That doesn’t change that Collins left the goal open and almost definitely impeded Kitching from dealing with a relatively routine clearance.

This has got to be the final straw for Collins. As flawed as Wilson is, I can’t recall him making such basic, unforced errors. Collins, dare I say it, had a 8/10 game until the mistake that lead to the goal. Unfortunately, GK is a ruthless position where a 90% bang on performance isn’t good...

Exactly. If Leeds win convincingly v Bristol, a draw v Boro may see us overtake them and any teams like Blackburn/Millwall that could overtake us on GD may also finish above them. Then we finish 6th anyway. We didn’t do ourselves a favour in the recent away games which is massively...

Psychologically, would Sheff U want to lose to Blackburn if they then have to play them twice in the following days? Wilder has said he wants to go into the playoffs on a high for obvious reasons. Yes, they’re already qualified, but it’s not good if they go into the playoffs on a loss. Either...

I said that with Plymouth in mind where, for each goal, there were clear defensive errors before Collins got involved. That obviously doesn’t absolve him, far from it. Today, I’ve laid the blame at Collins’ feet because it was an unforced error from him.

How likely is that Millwall will beat Burnley away? Likewise, Blackburn to beat Sheff U away? Not likely to be honest. Boro need to beat us and a win v Boro all but guarantees a playoff finish unless Bristol win v PNE and Millwall beat Burnley by 5+ goals (e.g. 6-0, if we win by 1, 7-0 if we...

He has. Against Plymouth Collins wasn’t our worst rated player which should tell you something. If the defence is doing its job properly, a GK shouldn’t have anything to do. The positions we were in for Collins to mess up were because of v basic defensive errors. He made his errors but the...

More silly talk. The Championship is a tough league because the results are unpredictable.

Exactly, Bristol are just as at risk of dropping out than us. Millwall’s playoff hopes have always hinged on them finishing above Bristol City because they needed us to lose 3 out of 3. Right now, we’re closer to Bristol City than Boro are to us.

Not really. The defending v Plymouth just wasn’t good enough despite Collins’ mistakes.

That is a ridiculous statement! 😂 The squad is robust as we had our best form without our two top scorers. We are just at a point of the season where players are pushing through injuries or dropping off and we’re still a few players short. This is v typical overreacting over a bad period.

If only that Boro fan was more focused on their own team. They picked up 1 point against teams with nothing to play for. I’ve been banging on about it for a while now, in the worst case scenario, we always needed to beat Boro on the last day in most permutations. Blackburn and Millwall play...

Our home record has been faultless under Lampard so I remain optimistic. The injuries have piled up which is a concern and needs to be accounted for this stretch, Dovin in particular.

Agreed. You just wouldn’t have thought Kitching and Collins have played together for years before joining us…

That’s harsh, the form goes out of the window at this stage of the season. The form table is more or less flipped over from the league table. The accumulated injuries is a fair mitigation and a sign the squad isn’t deep enough yet. I do share the opinion that we’ve sometimes been one...

If you come out that far, you need to deal with the threat one way or the other. He did neither and left his goal open. Criminal. Binks definitely should’ve done better but the point is that he shouldn’t have been in that situation.

Frankly, we should’ve been home and dry by now. We’ve been an absolute charity shop to the relegation threatened teams away from home.

They also haven’t lost at home and barely conceded more than one goal. Either way, they can only make 6th place if Boro batter us and there’s a significant GD swing against Bristol over the next two games. Either of us pick up a point, they cannot overtake us. As of 16:17, Boro are still...

Do you fancy Millwall beating Burnley by multiple goals? I wouldn’t if I were a Millwall fan.

As things stand, a win guarantees playoffs.
