I saw the piece about who will be attending and Tim Sherwood is there, possibly to iritate us, but I also saw Don Mackay and wondered if that is the same DM that managed us? He was a really nice guy, some say 'too nice' and that's why he didn't succeed, however, it will be great to see him again.

Mainly Avanti West Coast but the likes of Cross
Country etc. all seem to be running fine.

Plenty of Cov at the station this morning. Not a single can in sight though.

Game’s gone.

overhit. Haji was clearly carrying the injury (or the fear of it) so he couldn't stretch. That's not really the point though, dasilva has relatively few assists in his time with us and bolstered by a couple just recently.

He's definitely not fit. At around the 17 minute mark Simms was sent out to warm up as Haji was clearly in some pain.

You can't say that otherwise 'Big Brother' Clint will be on to you. He, in my image, is a cross between gestapo and Duncan Norville.

I'm no medical expert, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's some sort of hernia.

Wright won’t be dropped. Lampard never drops him. He can sometimes be crap for a bit and suddenly good again. I’m happy for the same team as last week and presume we won’t be so turgid.

My concern is that maybe Wright is saving his 'suddenly good' for the USA in the World Cup.

Same as my road - a couple of houses have bunting and flags out - then one on the road that runs at the bottom have a flag out. It feels unreal

I think the flags and bunting will really start to come out if we get what we need for promotion today, and then just grow and grow towards season's end. I was living in London in 87 so really looking forward to all the celebrations

If Ipswich lose (unlikely I realize) and we win I do believe we are champions. If that has been said before, sorry, but tight for time so haven't had time to go through every page.

They need the points as Portsmouth and Oxford have pulled them back into relegation trouble. A side will likely go down this year with over 50 points . If it is Oxford, that's really bad luck.

So an unexpectedly tough game is on the cards. Neither side will want to lose, so unless we pull a Swansea style rabbit out of the hat, a cautious draw is the most likely outcome, maybe even another nil-nil.

Not an issue between Cov and Blackburn or Manchester and Blackburn really.

Cov to Blackburn would be via Preston and avoids Manchester.

Manchester to Blackburn is from Victoria on a diesel train anyway.

Finding this one hard to predict.

We should be fresher than them, but I felt the pressure got to us a bit against Wednesday.

They are pretty desperate for points, but as they are already 4 points clear of the bottom 3, they should have enough in their locker to find safety in their following matches.

A point gains us promotion, so I can well see it ending up in a draw.

If we are at anything like our best though, we should win.

Really on the fence with this one and would love to see the line-up.

Think I am going to go for another 0-0, in a scrappy, fraught game.

I think it will be cagey, slow tempo when in possession, which doesn't usually suit us.

Keeping an eye on Google Maps. Travel time jumped from 2hr50m to 3hr18m in the last quarter of an hour. Hate the M6 at the best of times, but a Friday afternoon...

Thought the same, but given the turnout at fizzy moon that evening I'm hoping the pressure is gone now.
