    If Rotherham could find an equaliser, it would be a perfect weekend

    Have to remain focused on doing our job. Grind out results and avoid injuries. Fingers crossed both Brentford and Swansea have hit the buffers given their smaller squads. And hope Norwich do slip up. We have to make sure we do not slip up ie home against Wycombe and Brum when it will be a 10-0-0 formation and beat these three teams and Reading. Automatic promotion would still be very much in our hands. Swansea should have been beaten handily by Forest.

    We may end up having a lot to thank Ivic for, with his early cautiousness and rotation.

    Watching Norwich now and think it’s too much of a stretch to hope they drop points as well, they are bartering Rotherham, should be about 5 up

    Jordan Morris came on at the half for Swansea and he has already been stretchered off with what looks at first glance (apparently) like a very bad injury - the squad, and their attacking options, get smaller still...

    As we know the championship is a marathon, you can't win promotion in the first half of the season (you can certainly be well out of the running though), see 2000/01 & 2007/8 but a great run in the second half will see you through, 1999 and 2015 spring to mind. Ivic may have been boring but we had a solid base of points to build on.

    Amazingly enough it appears that they had already made all five of their subs - they are down to 10 men for the final half an hour!

    Norwich missing sitters all over the place, would be a real sickener for them if they somehow get pegged back

    edit - Rotherham just had a certain goal blocked on the line

    Scum 2 down as well. One or two Rotherham goals right now would be beautiful

    Got to enjoy this weekend as there will definitely be weekends that go against us....


    How are QPR so near the bottom? Beat us Brentford and now Muff in recent weeks and I thought they looked pretty good against us.

    It looks increasingly like a fight for 2nd place. Never a dull league.

    Four out of five promotion rivals losing is positively dreamy.

    Seems reasonable from the government. While players at the top are still getting obscene deals it makes sense for Chump clubs to tighten their belts. Players and agents need to realize that the gravy train below the PL is coming to an end with a tighter fiscal future in place for everyone in the short to mid term.

    Need something to happen to Pukki and Buendia as soon as possible. They have combined once more to secure the points. Two man side.
