Haven't watch Millwall game but Blackburn have had 20 shots not bad for an away side.

Its annoying, but it was probably our hardest remaining game, and 1 less game for everyone to make ground up on us!

I think today's game will just be looked back on as one of those frustrating irrelevances when we're lifting the trophy. Today's results are again ok, these teams are simply not consistent enough to catch us, especially with games running out.

Can you please tell that to entirely irrational, pessimistic part of my brain that keeps saying ‘well we might lose every game and Ipswich and Middlesbrough might turn into prime Barca and Brazil’?

So after the last 3 games we’ve gained points on Boro and Ipswich while maintaining the gap to Millwall.

Yes a superb keeping performance will piss us off today but viewed over the whole week that’s 3 more games chalked off and they’re running out fast.

The threshold for second place is currently 83 points apparently.

I'd say that's about right.

Ipswich would have to get 5 wins in 9 to get there and they are playing Boro and Millwall.

Boro need to win 4 and draw 1 in 8 playing Ipswich Millwall and being in shit form.

Millwall would need to 5 win in 8 playing Ipswich and Boro.

We however, need two wins in 8 to get that and we have a far superior goal difference. We also have Wednesday still to play.

Might get more twitchy as Swansea looks a tough fixture if we're missing Wright, Rudoni and Thomas!
Think we coast home after that though.

I think 2/3 wins will be enough.

Promotion is the only aim. Title can wait

And as I said a few games ago, if you can find a way to make this a certainty, I'd be all over this.

Means Typical Boro can't rear it's head against Sheff Wed, so our season essentially becomes a 5 game other teams shootout for the autos with Ipswich and Millwall with us having a head start and not a frigging Hoodoo in sight.

Box it off mate, pretty please.

I think it's possible, but unlikely, for someone to catch us if our form drops but two teams are never going to finish above us.

So looking at table we are 9 points ahead of Ipswich and Millwall with better GD, that means we can effectively win 3 less games than them and stay ahead of them.

So if Millwall win 6/8 , we only need 3 wins to stay ahead of them

Ipswich have the game in hand but there fixtures look tough, they have Millwall, Birmingham, Boro, Norwich and Southampton still to play. If they win 7/9 we need 4 wins to stay ahead of them.

Boro, we are 7 points ahead so we can win 2 less than them and stay ahead of them, so if Boro win 6/8 we need to win 4.

Even though we lost...it's been a pretty good day considering.
That's the beauty of an 8 point lead (before today's games).
We still have a 7 point lead after losing, and everyone has 1 less game to play, and less points available.

And Ipswich have now played their SheffWed Joker card. Don't forget that bit.

The only downside for me apart from the fact that we lost is that Ipswich are the main benefactors. Whilst this was a bit of a foregone conclusion I am still disappointed because I really cannot stand them.
I really do think Norwich will beat them.

Brum fans will be throwing their season tickets, held to a 1-1 by a side who had 10 men for 70 minutes, just not the done thing for the world conquerors in waiting.

Over a year since Blackburn conceded first and got a point away from home.

Nearly 3 years since they went behind away and won.
