Dangerous to set expectations, but it looks like an extra 10 points would be needed to get into the top half, so we'd need to do what we did this season but turn 5 draws into wins. Not unreasonable.

Both Derby and Rotherham can still get 46 points, can't they?

I do have some sympathy with Rotherham and Wycombe, promoted with us, who have found life in the Championship just too hot. Had our results against just these two been reversed we would now be staring relegation in the face. Well done us.

Deja vu for those of us who watched them in the Premier League. 'If they'd painted the Titanic sky blue etc etc'

Fair comment. I couldn't get a hair cut during lockdown and put on some weight. Lovely legs though.

Have to agree. Highlights for me were Frusbloodytrating, Didsapointing atleast, would of, and, best of all, Robin's

And a win would mean that we had a better record than Derby, Huddersfield and Birmingham. Well, I can dream.

Just delighted that no-one has described it as a 'must win' game.

Inconsistency is an integral part of the beautiful game. How else to explain Preston winning at Swansea or Sheff Wed thumping Cardiff yesterday? Every fan yearns for 'consistency' but football is a game of fine margins which can make a team appear hopeless one day and world beaters the next. If...

Can we please stop saying that our next game is a 'must win' game. Those of us who remember the Premier League seasons know that a 'must win' game is a game you must win in order to avoid relegation (Everton and Spurs come immediately to mind). I just hope we don't have any 'must win' games this...

The Keresley kid

We've now played all the other 23 teams in the Championship, and only 9 have beaten us. Of those 4 were by one goal, and the other 5 were against teams that are currently in the top half of the table. Our only really shocking result was against Blackburn. I'd say that that was a pretty decent show.

You said it. In that season he scored 19 goals and the next highest (Bennett) was 7. The following season he scored another 19 and the next highest was 5 (Regis).

I knew that if I stuck with this forum long enough I'd read something eminently sensible......and here it is. Thank you GMK for articulating what so many of us feel. When the history books are written the demise of the beautiful game will be traced back to the introduction of VAR.

So at the next break in play, the forward who thinks he was fouled indicates to the referee that he wants to have a chat with the captain who then takes a second opinion from another forward who was close to the action before deciding whether to invoke a review. Do we really want this?

Cricket has the natural breaks to permit such an approach, so this could apply for a penalty given or an 'offside' goal or a sending off when the game is stopped. But what about the penalty that wasn't given? Is the captain meant to consult with his teammates and then go chasing after the...

Oh please don't complicate it any more. When the demise of the beautiful game is analysed they will trace it back to the introduction of VAR.

Well, that's settled it then. Amadine Bakamou is the man for us.

Not entirely sure what the substitute rules are, but bench looks like Wilson Rose/Ostigard Dabo/Pask Sheaf Shipley/Hilssner Walker Bakayoko Not bad
