True and I only started to get a bit worried after QPR, but I have always been confident we would say up.

It's such positive news that we are in April, have 7 games to go and are 7 points clear.

Didn't look like it was going to be anything like that a little while back.

I am expecting nothing on Saturday, so any points at all will be such a massive bonus.

I'm expecting a defeat on Saturday, but remember last season when Brentford looked certain for auto promotion until the last couple of games, and then imploded, losing to at home to Barnsley of all teams who escaped relegation by 1 point.
It's probably a bit early for teams to be affected by the pressure to that extent but it happens.
Bournemouth's home form the last 5 games is WLWLW, I wonder what comes next

Yes, of course, but I really don't think Rotherham are that good and I can't see them picking many points at all from those games in hand. I think they have too many games to cram in, in too little time.

Actually that side in 1984/85 was one of our weaker surviving relegation teams, It was a close one that year for sure Still had some very good players in it of course . That team played its best football of the season right at the end thankfully.

It was a joke really. We were terrible versus Stole and would have gone down but for the penalty miss (a player we then oddly signed to hardly ever play) a desperate late goal v Luton and a farce of a game against a team who really didn’t want to be there

I was randomly sent a promo code for a £100 free bet that had to be used last night. Stuck it on a Norwich/Brentford double. Livid.

I don't think Painter played a single first team game for us did he?

I will never forget Kilcline's goal against Luton. The end of that match was so tense.

Ah that late penalty miss. Listened to it on the radio – it bounced down off the bar onto the line I think, and the commentator changed his mind about three times whether it was a goal or not! Nobody did relegation escapes like the Sky Blues in those days.

I agree pretty terrible against Stoke and just edged it thankfully. We were a bit lucky in first half v Luton but produced the goods eventually which resulted for me personally my most celebrated goal ever (even beat a couple of Houchen FA Cup specials for pure ecstasy/relief). I disagree though regarding Everton , we were great against Everton from start of the game and would have beat ANYONE that day with team performance and the crowd behind us.

That was the first match I ever went to - fantastic memories. Remember my uncle helping to lift me over the fence to get on to the pitch to celebrate and getting grease all over a new tracksuit.

Nice report on the news here too with some colour from the day:

I am not sure which is the result for Preston which ends up with them becoming completely 'couldn't care less' because they are so becalmed in mid-table. A defeat I sustect.

They can win 6-0 as long as they have 6 players sent off.

Yep - if Sheff Wed lose today - great for us. It would take 3 positive results to catch us up (damn - they've just equalised), Don't want them winning today. Draw is ok

To be perfectly honest, I'd be reasonably happy if the scores stayed like this at half time. No side nearer than 6 points to us.

Today could have been much worse.
Wycombe gone now. 'Only' 6 behind us before their red card but 9 with 5 left.
Wednesday remain 7 behind. Worried they might continue from their win last week. Would be coming in to view if they'd won today.
Derby loss
Would have preferred a rotherham loss but in drawing, keeps Huddersfield in it too. Both probably had that game down as a win.

There are lots of near the end of season games where teams aren't interested. Mid table nothing to play for and trying out youngsters. In fact the whole season is a mish mash - you can only play what is in front of you on the day.

Are they two knackered youngsters from the U23 game earlier?

Rotherham have mixed their side up - Giles starting. Ladapo up front instead of Smith (saving for our game). If they don't win tonight, I think they've made a huge error. Also looks like QPR have made a couple of changes. George Thomas starting - set up a goal from the bench at the weekend. Come on George-CCFC legend !!!
