Being manager at Stoke isn't all that bad. 3 years pay for less than a years work.

No game is going to be easy. Just ask Sheffield United. I'm sure it's going to be a low scoring game with few decent chances. We just need to keep going like we did against Portsmouth. In their last 10 games 7 goals for 7 goals against. Been doing better away than at home. Keep it solid and...

We have it fully in our own hands. Those in 7th downwards will be demoralised. They need to keep winning and hope that Bristol City or ourselves keep slipping up to have a chance. Starting to look like we will have secured a playoff spot before we play Middlesbrough.

As I and others keep mentioning we didn't catch up with then go past the teams below us so quickly for no reason. Just 2 wins from our last 5 games could easily be enough.

The Hull game is now massive. Beat them then it would take an absolute disaster not to make the playoffs. 5 points ahead of 7th means just 1 win from the last 4 games would mean one of the teams from 7th 8th and 9th would need to win 3 out of their remaining 4 with still another 3 games for us...

I would have been disappointed ages ago 😂

I think we will see a couple of sides put out we don't expect in the next 5 games. Our remaining away games are against 19th, 23rd and 24th. I would guess at least 2 of them will be against sides playing with all their players behind the ball.and hitting us on the counter. Hopefully they will...

It seems as though they make some of the rules so they can be interpreted in different ways for when the officials make a mess of it as they frequently do.

As.i said it depends on which way the ref interpreted the play. Did the.player try to.block a shot? Did the ball go to a player in an offside position straight from the block? If so a good goal. If the GK touches the ball it's a save. The GK doesn't do blocks. What is Deliberate vs Not...

Forest is the best one 😁 3rd place and 4 points ahead of 4th. Fair play to them.

Not a bad goal by someone many said was a waste of a signing. You can see how much it meant to him. Even Collins ran the length of the pitch to join in with the celebrations 😁 I think that goal will give our players a major boost. You can see how much of a close unit they are. We had about 15...

Yes. We went through the same thing a couple of weeks ago. Some people just don't understand the rule.

What didn't help us in these games were incompetent match officials. We were nearly the first side to put 2 past Burnley in the league and they have the best defensive record by far. It will be difficult to score against Hull. They have only let 7 goals in from their last 10 games. They beat...

Hull have only scored 40 goals in 41 games. Only Luton have scored less. But they are another side that are quite solid defensively and don't let many goals in. 1-0 win.

If an outfield player stops a shot it is a block and not a save. If a GK stops a shot it is a save. If a defender blocks a shot and intended to block a shot and then the ball goes to an opponent the player isn't offside. It is down to how the ref interprets the play.

We shall see. Our games against our playoff rivals are at home. The games against the lower clubs are away. Win our home games then we would need a win and a draw from the 3 away games. But anything can happen. Beating Hull, Plymouth and Luton wouldn't exactly be a surprise. Would be nice to...

5 games to go. Looks like it will be tight between Bristol City and ourselves. Middlesbrough may be 2 points behind us but their GD gives them an edge. Saturday is very important with their game at Millwall. Could well come down to the final game of the season at our place. WBA have got 2...

But like I said earlier if it was Dovin he would have got praise especially as it was Collins who spotted Rudoni then got the ball to him with just seconds remaining. 2 points gained partly because of him.

I still think 70 points for the playoffs and 72 for 5th place.

At last a bit of praise for Collins. Personally I think he had a good game. His distribution was good. Some people need to get used to the fact that our season depends on him and he needs our backing. If it was Dovin in goal last night he would have got nothing but praise.
