I hope Rotherham stay up, they need to win their next three games to stand a chance in my opinion.

Millwall are drawing too many games, Birmingham are due a change of manager, QPR could end up going bust. Derby desperately need to beat us on Saturday otherwise I think they’ll crumble. And Forest are scabs .

Yeah Forest scabbed us twice

QPR and Derby heavily rumoured, although it wouldn’t surprise me if Wednesday did too.

What is that for and when will it be decided I seem to remember Derby having a points deduction but won an appeal.

We signed a striker. He's played in the 3 games since he's signed, not looked too bad and scored. Walker back soon and things will look brighter. We don't have infinite budget.

I do think we need to look at improving our attacking options next year though. Still feel we've got enough to stay up.

agree, though it's going to take time to get the squad we want without big investment. If we stay up I still think we'll go into 221-22 still with players in the squad that aren't really Championship standard.
It's going to take time.
Though if we do stay up we'll also have players with a seasons worth of Championship experience which will be a massive help.

This is true, and really annoys me when people slag off for example Baka and Max.

We can't go up and instantly have a squad of Championship players, with 4 championship standard strikers.

There is barely a team in the league that has 4 Championship standard strikers. In fact I'm not sure there are any.

You’re in a relegation battle obviously, but I get the feeling you’re not actually in the thick of it, you tend to be on the fringes of it. You’ll have enough to stay away from serous danger.

It wasn't our attackers who were responsible for the goals...although I agree we need to invest in attacking options..

Im like a championship football scout, I’m really well read on most teams regarding injuries and form, I watch extended highlights of all championship games plus all the live ones, I’ve no interest in premier league football, champions league or PS5 and Xbox box sets and other shite, all my spare time is taken up with championship football, horse racing, darts, boxing and murders/crime don’t bother watching or reading about anything else.

Chances are by the end of this month this place will be in meltdown because we've got some difficult games coming up and I expect most of the results won't be in our favour, and that cushion we've got will have been eroded. That's why the Forest loss is a big disappointment - it would helped maintain that cushion a bit longer to prevent too many jitters entering the dressing room.

But I'll say now that the run in to the end of the season beyond that isn't as bad and like a few months ago those run of games will hopefully see us get a decent enough set of results to keep us from trouble. I'll start panicking if we've played 3 or 4 of those and not got any results, not before.

What we don't know yet (look at Liverpool's recent blips) is the effect on those teams/players in our league who will have had almost extended seasons (e.g. Birmingham, Millwall etc) versus the likes of Rotherham and Coventry, both of whom have had extended breaks. Whilst we haven't had the best of luck with injuries, it may be that a number of teams suffer from players who have been to the well once too often over an extended period and with a compressed number of games. Hoping it may work to our advantage.

That was also quite disappointing but at least it didn't allow the gap to be closed. Forest it did.

I will definitely have one eye on the Wycombe Forest game on Saturday. Let's see how many points they are each awarded for a draw.

If two weeks quarantine at each end qualifies as a whim then yes. I’m behaving myself though and have already cancelled one trip back. Bags are packed and waiting for clearance.

Hope you don't spend too much time on the murders/crime bit. I'm local to Barnsley, should I be worried?

That's exactly what worries me.

The teams below us have strengthened and are starting to find form, we are just sort of treading water.

I'm incredibly nervous about tomorrow and even more about the games following. Obviously I hope I am wrong, but I think we are in genuine danger, almost sleepwalking into it.

Apologies on a postcard please.
