Ascotexgunner Rinomhota doing his best to help us stay up. He looks nothing like the player he was for us......even though we were bad.


Dunno that’s how he looked for us bu the end as well

NathStPaul QPR are in ruins.


Nothing to worry about for them, they’ve been playing there for years.

Glad that Colin's bounce at Huddersfield ended today as well.

Any one of 4 for the last spot, with just 1 point seperating us, QPR, Cardiff and Huddersfield.

My money is on the fake hoops dropping; in the 12 games since Ainsworth came in they have amassed 4 points........their fans must be all on suicide watch at the moment!

Would bloody love seeing them go down. Serves them right for their ridiculous stadium and ridiculous ticket prices.

How have luton become so good? Saw they smashed a Rotherham team who battered wba a few days ago and limited them to just 4 shots off target

Intrigued as thought they were awful when we played them early season

As odd as it sounds we really should copy their philosophy as much as possible. Pick up the best of League 1 and 2, pick wisely in the free transfer market and build a togetherness around our squad next season.

Luton are almost mathematically guaranteed a playoff place again. Hats off to them! They've had 2 brilliant seasons. Let's hope it's guaranteed by the time Wednesday comes around and maybe they'll be a bit less up for it.

Get in Cambridge!

Going on Tuesday. They're suddenly on a roll again. Love it if they send Oxford down.

Seen young Sam Smith popping up with a few goals of late. Would be interested to hear your assessment of him after seeing him in person.

Played today, last time I asked a STH they thought he'd been missing a whiie but she's not going a lot at the moment.

Seems to have got 13 starts, which is pretty decent for a January signing.

Smith seems to have upped his game after some recent motivational booing from what I hear.

Quite interesting* reading the QPR hashtag on Twitter - naturally always take Twitter with a massive pinch of salt but the overall feel on there is one of a club in total disarray.

CEO caught on camera flipping off at fans in the street - the general view is that Ainsworth is the worst manager they have ever had and he was only given the job as he was a fan favourite in his playing days - his style doesn't fit the players he has and he shows no signs of being able to or wanting to adjust, the players have just given up and there are calls to boycott tomorrow's game.

They want the CEO and Les Ferdinand out of the club this summer and a lot want Ainsworth to go with.

The view seems to be they will only stay up if Cardiff and we manage to be so bad that we fail to even pick up a point.

Yeah they are a complete mess. Can’t remember a team crumbling the way they have for a long time.

The draw at wba is the only thing that worries me, they do obvs have some fight and ability left. If they’d been beaten there I’d have said they were down and out

Reckon they could beat Bristol c. Otherwise tough run in. I think we prob need 5-6 points to get above them
