Also £33 though. Cardiff was on sky red button (I believe), and it was our 4th highest home only crowd of around 19,400. Only slightly lower than QPR in second.

Red button isn’t I assume shown in pubs. This will on a bank holiday at a normal kick off time. People also of course will be away

Of course but if you want to watch the game, it's very easy to do so. I don't think the whole sky sports thing makes much difference in the Championship. Used to make a bigger difference when we were shown on TV 3/4 times a season.


3 points off play offs and on a bank holiday and it's on track to be one of the lowest crowds of the season. Let's hope they rethink Watford/Norwich as Category A games. Will be the same if Bournemouth come down. Shouldn't be a Cat A game.

I want to say 1-1 but fuck it, I'll be positive and say 1-0 to us. We're hardly looking like world beaters atm but they're not great away and it seems to be falling apart a bit for them. Hamer to get ours in the 2nd half.

Wilson
McNally Fadz Doyle
Dabo Hamer Sheaf Eccles Bidwell
Walker Vik

I know he'll probably start Godden but that's what I'd go for.

I thought categories were mostly about how many away fans are likely to turn up?

I think people are getting a sniff that most the players have more or less mentally given up the chase. Doesn’t help to motivate yourself to spend a significant chunk of time and money.
Damn ‘day trippers’ eh?

Generally, yeah. However, Watford, Norwich, Bournemouth and Fulham don't quite fit that.

With the exception of Preston we're in better form than all the teams around us.
Are you suggesting they've all chucked it, or that we're the only ones yet are still in better form than the others?

In the week where we've had:

Bring back Biamou
Sign Connor Coventry because his surnames Covetry
Sign Connor Wickham because he's tall

This takes the biscuit!

It’s still very much a boring football cliche’ of take one game at a time we win next three we could be well in the play-off spots, I don’t think we will but not lose to Blackburn and get 5 or 6 points will be very nice. Still lots of twists yet in this most unpredictable of divisions.

Lets be honest anything less than a win today and its done.

Only 1 team has ever got into the play offs with less than 70 points.

To even reach that we need to win 4 of the last 6.

Lose or draw today its win 5 of the last 6 and we all know thats fairy land

I hope we come out fast we've looked pissed for the first 20 minutes recently

I’m taking a mate of mine today. Last two times he’s been we best Gillingham (4-0?) and Cardiff (1-0). He’s going for his hattrick today.
Im taking it as a sign.

Other clubs around us in the same boat, we have proved we can put unbeaten runs together but yes we have also proved we have a Stoke result in us, still all to play for.

I think people are being overly critical of the Swansea performance.
We got our first point there for over a decade and their keeper got MOTM. Any other time in the season and we'd have been reasonably pleased.

The Stoke performances was a car crash.

We usually have that one bad defeat per season, Luton, Blackburn, Rotherham, and Yeovil spring to mind.

Bristol City too. No way that is Cat A in any other season, but was obviously a bank holiday this year. Burnley was a push also. Really scraping the barrel for Cat A games this season.

I hope they do away with the categories next season. Do what Albion do, a flat £25 for every game.

Got to think we're not going to get much help from the other games today. Huddersfield are in form so might get something v Blackburn but generally winnable games for the teams around us. I've mentally written off the play-offs but hopefully we stay in touch for as long as possible.

Like most, not at all confident today. Would love a win to go into next week still in the mix, but fear the worst. We appear to have run out of steam.

Five wins out of six from here is Roy of the Rovers stuff, but you never know I suppose.

Watford haven’t won away since early January, and we have only lost back to back home league games once since 2018.
