Cardiff have to win those two games. I'll take points in the bag over potential points thanks very much.

It worries me that this happened last season too...albeit in a different league.

The problem with having only two (slightly unreliable) creative outlets and one real goalscorer. Leroy needs to start banging them in. NHunt could do with putting a few more in himself.

To get promoted you need at least two players getting 15+ goals. Doyle's done it, but only scored twice since November.

What's the panic...

Cardiff have to win those 2 games in hand...and that would still leave them 2pts behind...now by my reckoning that would mean they would still be below us in the table :shock:

Oh and even if they did draw level on points with us at some point between say now and the end of the season...then has anyone cared to look at the GD :roll:

Oh sorry...that's just plain silly isn't it...and what I should actually be saying is:

WE'RE DOOMED!!!!! and COPPELL OUT!!! :roll:

This league is full of a load of average teams who on their day can beat anyone from top, middle or bottom...it's what football is all about...we have said from day one that this season would be nothing like 3 years ago, so all those who STILL expect 106pts...WAKE UP!!!! it's not going to happen...

A few more goals for us would be nice though, wouldn't it?

So long as it doesn't come down to goals scored, we'll whack 'em all on goal difference.

No worries.

Thought I'd bring you all some entertainment on a sad day :lol: .

(I know we'd all feel more confident with Cardiff in than Preston, but it's still been bloody hilarious.)

Many teams went on runs - first us, later Burnley, Cardiff, Bristol City, Swansea. Lately it's Preston. Birmingham just kept grinding out the averages. On the field today they showed why. Tons of experience, tons of discipline, tons of commitment. Good job well done. It's an approach that could keep them up next year.

Good post, I thought they were solid, but largely uninspiring, whilst having a couple of touches of real class and excitment. And the players they had that had attacking flair, also had the ability to produce an end product and hurt us in the final third.
