Gonna have a highly processed chicken product in honour of Blackburn tonight.

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

 

[skybluecam]

There better be no messing around when we play Wednesday btw, first half pumping needed.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Ipswich were always going to win, results been amazing for us! Just a shame we didn’t take advantage of them

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

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

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’?

20 shots, but they been awful until the 2 goals...shows how stats can be misleading

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

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.

 

[Liquid Gold]

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.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Turned over to the manosphere documenty and Blackburn scored 2!

We are closer to the premier league than before we kicked off imo

Watched that yesterday that HSTIKKYTOKKY Is a piece of work

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Hopefully this seasons version of the 6-2 Yeovil game.
We always seem to have one around this time

Did we lose 4-0 at home to Stoke in the first play-off season too?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

The miss from wolfy oh my

Millwall would need 5 win is 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.

Yes Its gonna be very hard to mess up.

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.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Would of took a draw, don't know how that didn't go in at the end

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Ipswich will 100% be in the autos, just need to make sure everyone else keeps fucking up

 

[HadjiChippo]

Massive win for Blackburn if they hold on

baggies score a third

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Ipswich will 100% be in the autos, just need to make sure everyone else keeps fucking up

I think 2/3 wins will be enough.

Promotion is the only aim. Title can wait

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Yes Its gonna be very hard to mess up.

I’m sure we could
Disappointed today but we should still have won we certainly had the chances to do so despite playing without any tempo

 

[Ipad Boro]

Now reckon draws in all those would suit us.

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.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

yes 1-2.
how did blackburn win that ?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I’m sure we could
Disappointed today but we should still have won we certainly had the chances to do so despite playing without any tempo

Pete why so pessimistic!

We need 2/3 wins from 8!

 

[HadjiChippo]

Next weekend is massive for all of the top 4, we need to get a result at Swansea

 

[Liquid Gold]

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.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Almost there people. Keep breathing.

 

[SlovakSkyBlue]

Let off in the sense we lost no ground, thank you Blackburn and Bristol.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

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.

 

[Ipad Boro]

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.

 

[Shannerz]

Could have been worse. Ipswich were never going to do anything but win.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

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.

Got a Juninho-Ravanelli-Maccarone shrine set up buddy.

 

[TomRad85]

Southampton are such massive shite bags that I actually want Wrectum to keep them out of the play offs. Congratulations boys, you've made the list.

 

[CCFCBat]

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’?

You’re not pessimistic surely

 

[Shannerz]

And the Knickerstitchers for the lulz, of course.

 

[JeffB]

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.

 

[HadjiChippo]

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.

 

[Liquid Gold]

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

Nearly 3 years since they went behind away and won.

@Ipad Boro hoodoos are there to be broken
