Friday's Legacy you have to be happy with a point at doncaster tonight. they're unbeaten in 5 now and it's a difficult place to go.

royals climb to 2nd, pushing the unhappy hammers into 3rd place.



lets hope leeds can do us a favour tomorrow night.

Saturday!! :|


my fault for listening to anything that chap on ssn said last night. he was absolutely terrible. forever calling us brighton, he said goodbye to the panel and closed the show 30 seconds before it was due to end, and so there was silence for a few awkward seconds before he summed up liverpool's result again and reading going second.

2nd place cemented.

3 points clear of wobbly West Ham who have drawn 5 of their last 8, are iffy at home and play Boro next at Upton Park.



This is going to be our season!

12pts ahead of Hull with 10 to play - got to fancy us to bag a play-off spot if i'm honest with you

:s

Yet say they beat us and win game in hand then they're ahead. Far from cemented, well far from it.

We should be worrying


1 Away Saints
3 Away West Ham
4 Away Birmingham
5 Home Blackpool
8 Away Brighton

ALL the above VERY losable


10 Home (Leeds, starting to play much better...)

Nothing like a guaranteed three points. And we could lose it

13 Home (Palace. Quite good away and a stingy defence)
18 Away (Peterboro, Tuesday Night)
20 Home (Forest. Probably safe but may need points)

I agree with Snowball, can't see us winning another game.

Nowt wrong with feeling nervous, is there? Lose at Peterboro, then fail to beat Blackpool
and suddenly going to West Ham becomes a massive deal. I would rather not drop into
the play-off lucky dip.

IMO We need to win the next two, then maybe I can relax a bit

I think you should stick to bending stats to suit your opinion.

Why do you constantly write posts that say we MIGHT win a game BUT we could draw or even LOSE?

And if we LOSE then we'll be WORSE OFFthan if we WIN and of course, the NEXT THREE GAMES COULD BE CRUCIAL :!:

Every game is important now and clearly every one is winnable, loseable, and indeed drawable.

Because, dear, unlike some people, I don't think the
world is always a clear-cut black-and-white knee-jerk,
tub-thumping "bleedin' obvious" issue.

It may be occasionally grey.

We are on a razor's edge and it really
could go either way and very rapidly so.

It would take very little going "seriously wrong" for us
to end up 4th, beaten by Birmingham on the last day.

There would be nothing particularly "exceptional" for us to lose
to Saints and West Ham and Brighton, and to fail to beat Blackpool

So Birmingham could, if they win their game in hand, have caught us
by game 46, and beating us that last day, passing us.


And YES, we could win at Peterboro, then beat Blackpool and not
get beat at West Ham or Southampton.

The point is that the stats mean very little now as the run in is extremely intense
and we have at least 5 "six-pointers" in the last 9 games, and a small possibility
that a sixth team, Leeds will be blasting, looking for sixth place

I love the way you pass this off as some kind of great insight when EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS

We're in a very tight race for promotion and nobody knows how it's going to end, that's why it's so exciting.

Well, you see, Mags, we MIGHT win at West Ham BUT we could draw or even LOSE there.

And I think that we MIGHT win at Southampton BUT we could draw or even LOSE there.

And looking at the Brighton game we MIGHT win there BUT we could draw or even LOSE there.

And going to Birmingham will be tough we MIGHT win there BUT we could draw or even LOSE there.

And the home game versus Blackpool, well that's a tricky game...we MIGHT beat them BUT we could draw with them or even LOSE at home to them as they are a good side.
