If we were to get promoted, we'd have to beat teams better than the likes of Leeds to have a chance of staying there, so not that fussed who we play should we get to the playoffs.

If we got there, I'm not too fussed about staying there; 90+ % certain we'd be bottom 4. If it gives us financial stability/makes us stronger for the next few seasons, that'd be fine by me. Serious question from a fans point of view - would we enjoy being in the Pl, winning one game in seven or so, or being on the kind of run we're on in the division below? As a club, we will get stronger through promotion, but will experience a period of pain, as fans, in the process.

If anyone could find a way to keep us in the premier league, it’s Robins. I imagine it’ll be like our first season back in the championship

I don't want us to do a Derby though!

So if we can't beat Leeds, say, we don't deserve to go up.

I'd somehow love to get through to the final and play Ipswich. Nice bunch of fans, plus I'd fancy us against them.

No chance we do a Derby. Our team is already better than that car crash.

It would set the club up financially and even if we came straight back down we'd make a good account of ourselves.

Leeds Preston getting a bit tasty towards the end. 1-1 and a couple of reds would do nicely.

Brighton Sky Blue · Jan 21, 2024

Patrick 'Sick Boy' Bamford goes in the book

Cheylesmore ITK · Jan 21, 2024

Leeds are good but they are not that good.

Tommo1993 · Jan 21, 2024

Would love for Summerville to have to play against someone like Roy Keane.

Bobby Thomas it is then!

Ffs, pen for Leeds in injury time. Was a handball though.

Thomas is good, but I don’t think he’s needlessly dirty. He’s not gonna hoof him off the pitch.

Commentators sound like they were watching Real Madrid winning the champions league

Them pointing out Luke Humphries in the crowd and explaining his Dad called him Luke because it stands for "Leeds United Kings of Europe" is everything I hate about the Leeds fanbase.

I guess it is harder to make a name out of Leeds United Big In The Seventies

Leeds will make playoffs no doubt so prob best they stopped Preston picking up a point for us

You can frustrate them and get under their skin. They are an arrogant bunch that expect teams to fold. Very lucky to get the penalty.

Leeds 95% certain to be top 6 anyway. At least it reduces the possibility of PNE joining the party.

Don’t know why but I fancy us to beat Leeds in a play off final

Robinshio · Jan 21, 2024

I think the play offs will be Ipswich Leeds and then 2 from us, WBA, norwich, hull, watford

I dont think it will go further than that - and of those I only fear leeds

I don't know, compared with some of the names kids get given these days Lubits doesn't sound too bad

Did anyone see that cheating bastard Ivan Toney last night, v Forest, had a free kick just outside the penalty area, didn't just move the ball from where the referee marked the pitch he re drew the position on the pitch and moved the ball there so he could put the ball around the wall and score.

Excellent Tom foolery

#BealeOut trending at No.2 on UK Twitter/X last night - a solid effort after just 35 days to be fair

Think he had himself at 20/1 to score from a free kick

Sky Blue Harry H · Jan 22, 2024

Need a Leicester win tonight - just to keep that 2nd place 'open' for us. Ipswich already stumbling, Leeds and Southampton to unfathomably implode (plus we've still got them all to wallop)

Surely that wouldn't have altered how the goalie set up the wall though!

Also what goes around comes around (even if its ancient history). I still remember Steve Hodge taking out our defensive wall to make room for a Stuart Pearce free kick in the League Cup semi final at the City Ground in an obviously pre-planned move, which cost us a place at Wembley.

Top play, the moving of the foam as well was just class.

Seems like Beale thought the problem with Sunderland was that they were afraid to shoot and too busy trying to walk it in. The results have been uhhhhhhhhhhh

Moving the ball at a free kick is a bookable offence and would have to be retaken.

He only moves it a mm

If you watch the TV footage he moves the ball twice.
