I feel bad for you. Nice kit though.

Think my biggest away defeat was 5-1 at Sheff Wed about 25 years ago!

Was at Albion when they scored 7.
Tough times. Hence until we achieve auto promotion I'll never believe it is done.

Currently watching “The Big Match Revisited” on ITV4. Latest score Everton 5 Coventry 0. Hopefully not a portent of things to come!

If that's the game I'm thinking of, in 1977, a client took me to see Man City thrash Chelsea (with a young Ray Wilkins in midfield) that same afternoon which left me in good spirits until I saw our result at Everton. Long miserable drive home from Manchester that day.

Next week then….

Obviously Cov & Blackburn to win. I can see both happening to be honest.

Ipswich vs Millwall?

Is the draw the best scenario?
Or do we want Millwall to take the points?

Draw best for us with the Ipswich game.

I’d take a point at Swansea.

I'd of took a point yesterday, I said this before the game

Yeah same, and we did more than enough to deserve one imo.

Maybe, but it would be good if the three below took points off each other.

Ipswich, Millwall and Boro all play each other, so there would be advantage to be found if say Millwall beat Ipswich, but then lost to Boro, who then lost to Ipswich.

Them all taking points off each other would be our gain

If they all draw with each other it means they can all only gain a point or two if we slip up, as opposed to one team gaining three.

Yup.

All draws in those three encounters would be good.

Ipswich are at home. They will win.

Something the worrywarts have been saying about Ipswich every single week. And yet...

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Something the worrywarts have been saying about Ipswich every single week. And yet...

They have failed to beat PNE and Lesta at home, it’s not an impenetrable fortress despite our best efforts to make it look like one.

 

[clint van damme]

Something the worrywarts have been saying about Ipswich every single week. And yet...

They generally do at home, 2.21 PPG, it's their away form thats let them down, and I don't expect that to improve much.

 

[Otis]

Something the worrywarts have been saying about Ipswich every single week. And yet...

Exactly.

People keep taking about gimmes and certainties for victories, especially where Middlesbrough and Ipswich are concerned, yet they both keep dropping points.

Consistently.

When your goalkeeper is MOTM it’s generally best to pipe down with that shite.

I mean I'm pretty sure Rushworth is leading our MOTM table and is most people's POTS!

But agreed there are some salty fans about. We have been the best this year bar a blip that was due to injury and illness for the most part.

Does my head in this talk of it being a particularly weak league this year, I don't buy it. Yes the parachute clubs have not done well but I actually think the level of the other teams has risen. The teams that came up from League 1 have all been competing. Only real shit shows are there because of mismanagement. The unfancied teams like Pompey, Charlton and Oxford are tricky opposition nowadays.

You know what I mean: if we were shite then their keeper wouldn’t be MOTM.

Yeah, having a decent keeper is part of being a good team.

But that game was very even yesterday and we weren't really firing on all cylinders.
