    So who realistically are the teams left fighting for 5th and 6th

    I'm not so sure. Bristol City v WBA will be massive. I can see the winner of that joining us in the playoffs. As things stand a draw would be excellent for us.

    And add to that we're looking favourites to meet them in the playoffs 😂 They have gone from thinking there's still a chance of making the top 2 to thinking their season is over. It wasn't just a win. It was men against boys.

    So who realistically are the teams left fighting for 5th and 6th

    Not writing anything off. But there's no sign of it from most clubs. Bristol City are looking good but they don't have an easy run of games.

    So who realistically are the teams left fighting for 5th and 6th

    They will be a lot more worried about playing us than we are playing them. It wasn't that long ago that they were so far ahead of us that most thought it near impossible to catch them. Well here we are. 2 points ahead of WBA and 5 points ahead of Middlesbrough. That's a lot with only 8 games...

    Lack of goals is going to cost us...

    Personally I think it would take a big offer from a biggish club for it to happen. The only reason he isn't with the USA squad is because he is coming back from injury. He is under contract and playing in front of a full stadium for a club going places. If he has settled here why would he want...

    I remember when talk of a new stadium started. How many thought a stadium holding over 30,000 was going to be too big? Or in our dark days where everyone would have fitted into 1 stand including the away support. We thought it was brilliant when we started to get 20,000. Now it is reaching the...

    Could end up on 20 goals at this rate. Still have 11 games to go, 2 of them a good chance against Sunderland 😂

    Keep them to long range shots or have to go through a crowded area. Not many sides have players like ours that can score from anywhere.

    So who realistically are the teams left fighting for 5th and 6th

    With 8 games to go you would think any side within 6 points of 6th still has a chance. But realistically I wouldn't look past Middlesbrough in 8th. Can't see where any of the sides below them could suddenly pull a winning run from....other than Sheffield Wednesday and they need a result today...

    Some people take too much notice of what supporters say for the club a player is leaving. They made out they were happy he was leaving as he stifled their attacking play with sideways and backwards passing. Yes he does do both but all in aid of ball retention. When he sees a player in a good...

    Any side in the Championship would miss a €23m player (Le Fee). It seems their main problem is they haven't rotated the squad. Now they're paying the price with injuries and players that need a rest. They have a good side but not much depth in the squad.

    Matt Grimes

    The player we have needed for years. And the best thing is he hasn't a clue what the treatment table looks like. Built of rock and steel and not glass like some others. He missed as many games waiting for his transfer to go through as he had in the previous 4 seasons. 4m for a player nearly 30...

    Dovin 7 Didn't have much to do but calm on the ball. Kept getting them to try and get the ball, leaving space up front for our quick attacks. Everyone else 8 or above. Wright as close to a 10 as we will ever see. Was everywhere and a constant threat. Cracking strike for his 1st goal on his...

    Have you changed your mind yet? As I said Sunderland are not better than us and the only reason they're above us in the table was our very poor start to the season. You also questioned my reasoning on thinking we just might go above them in the table. Them and us 4th and 5th should see us at...

    That's my point. Glad you agree. When Lampard took over we were 1 point away from the relegation places. 10 wins out of 12 confirms we're not that bad. Totally outclassing 4th in the table says we're doing OK. Being 5th by 2 points says we might play 4th to get to the final. We're the form...

    Here we go again. Point anywhere out where I'd prefer Simms to Wright. Would you like me to remind you where I've said they're poor at the back? Would you like me to remind you where I've said we're better than them going forward and you've disagreed with me all the way? I'll try again...

    You implied they are better than us. After trying to have a debate with you I conceded and said let's wait until we see how today's game goes. Would you like to try and deny any of this?

    As you know I was with you all the way. But only an idiot would say Robins would have done the same. The stats were there but the results are on another level

    Random? You praised how good Sunderland are. I ended up saying let's wait until after this game. Do you still think Sunderland are better than us? And how does your arse feel?
