If Wednesday lose tonight, they are down in my opinion. Wycombe are gone. That leaves Blues, Rotherham and Huddersfield imo. We just need to finish above one of them.

Hardly - we played 5 at the back even when winning and then when drawing retrenched further. Warnock and his football style is lambasted with zero knowledge just a perception and even in his 70’s he has more nous then robins

Warnock has always been an excellent manager at this level. He’d have been ideal for us rather than the appointment of Coleman.

Warnock has had more promotions than any manager in the history of the game and he’s achieved promotion with seven different clubs

He is renowned for having excellent relations with his players and the fact he’s done it with so many clubs means there’s no argument

We would have been an ideal club for him when Sisu took over.

There seems some bizarre snobbery regarding him but he’s without question better than any manager we’ve had here since Sillett

I have just looked at their formation and they are playing 3-4-3, the front three were on until the 56th minute then all replaced, they play the high press for the full 90 minutes. Maybe this is the way we should go?

Rotherham hit post. Gone close to going 2 nil up a couple of times.

Whilst it's only a goal lead there's a chance Wednesday can claw this back.

Rotherham...have a 2 day break before their game on Saturday at Brentford.

Then another 2 day break before before their game in hand on Tuesday vs Luton.

We should be pretty much fresh compared to them when we play them next Saturday.

Clutching at straws maybe.

Assombalonga £15m
Howson £6m
Saville £8m
Dijksteel £2m
Johnson £2.5m
Akpom £2.75m
Fletcher £6.5m

That's £42.75m just on those 7 players. Few more like McNair that cost a decent fee so probably very close to £50m on the players they own themselves. Then chuck in Bettinelli and Bolasie who are high cost loans then it probably comfortably exceeds £50m. This is what we're up against in this division.

Our fixtures at the start of the year were brutal, so now we still have the bottom 7 to play and we’re in the top 6 at the moment already, our lads have got to fancy their chances of a top 6 finish from here, and the way we play we’ll be a tough test for whoever gets us in the playoffs if we do indeed make them.

With your game in hand, auto's aren't completely out the question.

This is not to say Warnock isn't a good manager by the way. His record speaks for itself.

McNair was approx. £5m too.
Totally agree though, Warnock has been one of the greatest ever at this level.
