By top clubs you mean the clubs most recently relegated and by tits up you mean don't get a massively unfair advantage?

It does say if he reaches targets tbf, not a basic salary. No doubt on a huge amount but the article is a bit vague

Can’t imagine he’s not reaching targets.

QPR held to a 1-1 draw at Blackpool. They're still 2 points below us in 5th.

Good result for us. Although I’m not yet focussing on what other teams are doing.

To be fair , it's only because Bournemouth have been so exceptional it would appear that way ..

West Brom are in an awkward position. I feel like they'll occupy 3rd place for pretty much the whole season, which is a long time to think about the fact you're going to be in the play offs. A lot of pressure to win them.
I hope they don't go up (aside from the fact I hope its us that goes up) as they are a boring club that offer little when they do go up. Bit like Norwich.

Just watching Quest, Bournemouth showing us how it's done against Swansea playing their highline. Tore it to shreds, admittedly they obviously have very good players but so many chances from simple balls down the channels.

The way we played today was much more how it should have been Tuesday. Just get it right in the return fixture.

TBF Bristol City didn’t press us (big mistake), they put men behind the ball.

We look far more threatening with the more direct stuff in general, it was always just the final ball and/or shot that was lacking.

Tuesday was frustrating but I don’t think we were awful either. Just below par. We started slow and they punished us

That debate’s been and gone to be fair, I think Dabo and Gyo in particular stand out as players who have just run out of steam. Gyo especially getting beaten for pace which would never have happened in the first month or so.

Tuesday called for exactly the type of stuff we saw today and it does confuse me sometimes that we don’t go for it when it’s called for and in our locker.

It also depends on how the opposition approach the game. It’s probably far too simplified when we say why can’t we play like that against other teams. This is why we are in the stands or in our armchairs and not coaching professional footballers!

No, but Robins is watching and this is a group that is pretty good at doing what it’s told. I do realise it isn’t just a case of ‘goal machine go brrrrr’!

That’s what Fulham do with Mitrovic, apart from against us of course!

Also 5 points ahead of 8th, which is where we could have been if we had lost, so a good day all round.

I'd like to see how many sendings off and penalties given away compares.
I know without looking we've been given more.

It's a ridiculously entertaining league. Pretty much always has been too, so glad we're back in it.

Kalas is by no means a slow center half
