Big game at the top tonight, 3rd vs 1st, Swansea been on a good run lately so will go with them

Swansea playing really well

wow a 0-0 to start the day
the most boring league on the planet bar none
cant even get a decent price on unders

Derby turn up for another game and its another pathetic stunt pulled for a call off

If I were them I'd be going fooking ballistic about this, I'd be demanding forfeits from now on in when this happens

Knox, yeah its no good for overs this league found that out early on, its been awful this season

Great win today 0-3

Scraping our way to safety

like a bus
none for ages, than all at the same time!!

Sheff Weds winning last night wasn't good Rotherham losing was, its probably going to take 50+ points to stay up this season

Reading 1 up

1-2 Brentford

1-3

Top 6 after game 28

1 Brentford 57 pts (Hit the top for the first time fair play they look good)
2 Norwich 55
3 Swansea 53 (played 27)
4 Watford 48
5 Reading 48
6 Bournemouth 45

Bottom 6

19 Coventry 31 pts
20 Rotherham 29 (played 27)
21 Sheff Weds 28
22 Derby 28 (played 27)
23 Birmingham 28
24 Wycombe 16 (played 27)

Brentford going along nicely at the minute, long way to go though

Brentford do look good.

They are hitting form and I hope they do it this season, defiantly deserve it

Sell Benrhama and Watkins..£45 million.

Buy Toney £8 million. Normal service continues. Incredible!

The correct way, buy low sell high, emit

Preston 1 up

Preston 2 zip

Can't understand why Blackburn were so short really, its the Championship where anyone can beat anyone

Good point for us, another point towards safety

Typical Watford that

Do nothing when betting them and slam 4 in the first half when not bothering with them

plenty of goals today....

All dried up in the Derby match thankfully, they don't do goals Derby usually so thankfully it stayed that way

I think us and them might well be climbing away from the trap door now

Birmingham in deep now

Karanka is the most boring bloke, dour man and dour football get rid Brum

Derby do seem to play better against better opposition

Put them up against a Rotherham and they get humped

Cardiff flying up the table under owd Mick as well

Bristol City getting smashed 6-0

Its so tight down near the bottom anyone up to 12th could be dragged down there eventually, all the teams at the bottom are the form sides

Barring Birmingham, and Wycombe are pretty much gone despite winning today

Birmingham are so bad at the minute its tragic, a shot on target needs to be screenshotted regards to them

I have been trying to tell you for a while how bad Bristol City are and could still go down. I have no pleasure in appearing to be right Talk of appointing Hughton then appointed Dean Holden, a great guy but a man sadly way out of his depth

When is he sacked, sonofdunc?

Haha million dollar question Sont. Don’t even start me on that one! Problem way higher than the manager. Guess I just have to accept we’ll always be a football backwater, even with a billionaire owner

I have had many a good old sort out Ashton Gate over the years

Bristol City another that never really kicked on, Preston another really

Preston had a few good goes in the early 2000s as well

Said that about Brentford the other day... lose 0-2 to Barnsley today

Huddersfield and Derby winning

Boro now turned it around

Bristol City losing again

Good results for us really if they stay like this, Derby winning isn't such a bad thing as they out the bottom 5 anyway

Wycombe level against Derby

Derby with the most disgusting smash and grab

Bar that one we've come out well tonight really

Sheff Weds and Hudderfield losing, its getting quite close to mid table sides being dragged down there, esp with the poor form of Bristol City and even Luton as well

Coventry and Birmingham for me look like joining Wycombe though, both are very poor

Bristol City sack Dean Holden

Despite Swansea playing some neat stuff they aren't half dirty bas*ards sometimes, @ Ritcie

0-0 We should have won this to be fair

Played well though and look to good for the drop, Hughton starting to turn it around performance wise

Oh god... 1-0

That's actually unjust we didn't deserve that

Top 6 update

1 Norwich 61
2 Brentford 57
3 Swansea 56 (Played 28 2 games in hand)
4 Watford 54
5 Reading 51
6 Bournemouth 49

Bottom 6

19 Huddersfield 33
20 Coventry 31
21 Rotherham 29 (Played 28)
22 Sheff Weds 28 (Played 29)
23 Birmingham 28
24 Wycombe 19 (Played 29 no matter their pretty much gone)

Think that's the first time us and Derby have been out the bottom 6 this season

Cardiff coming up fast into 7th, looks like I was hasty criticising their appointment of Mick McCarthy

Can Swansea continue this form and win promotion? who the chuff knows with this league, could lose the next 6

I was to post up about possible overs with it being Watford, and it bang bang 2 goals in 2 minutes 2-0

Ref makes a balls up and for some reason I don't mind it, at least its the ref and not the dick heads in a box

Was a good goal though and should be 2-1

Derby a tad unlucky tonight, lost 2-1 but the goal chalked off, which has usual is just ridiculous, somehow a goalie barging his way off the line and into the back of the attacker (yes he had his back turned to the GK) is somehow a foul against the GK the mind boggles sometimes

Blatant handball near the end not deemed a penalty either,

Despite all that they still don't want VAR ffs

But the officials clearly don't know the rules or have zero common sense at this level

And GKs should be banned from coming out their little area, attacking players should be banned from entering it

That was the original rule anyway but fook it eh make it up as we go nowadays

Brentford are doing what they every season, look great then fall apart. Looked great against Reading.

Brentford are the best team I have seen in the Championship this season when they won @ Boro - I am very surprised with some of their recent results.

Having a flat spell, cant afford it with Watford and Swansea going strong

Layed the Draw in the Swansea game, Swans on areal high atm, Hudders leaking goals, went from 2-1 to lose 2-3 last week.

  Good Luck.

I've backed Swansea

Huddersfield 1 up

1-1 Swansea

Hopefully they come out and bury them 2nd half

But it is a Welsh team, can't rely on them.. isn't it!

Nice time for Swans to score for you, I hope it's them that score next to give me an out.!

Yeap, hopefully they score early 2nd half and then its both winning

We're winning 1-0, deserved something on Wednesday night to be fair

We're improving at last

2-1 Hudders

Fooking hard league this one

3-1 Hudders

Glad you got the lay in glasgow

Cashed out £7 profit, should have hung on 3-1 now ffs

4-1 Hudders

That's just dirty, Swansea

Oh the shame

Couldn't see 3-1 lasting long, the games gone crazy.

Birmingham are spawny bas*ards, every season they are down there it seems and always stay up by the skin of their teeth

Rumours of Nigel Pearson new manager at Bristol City. If true there’s a chance we might actually stay up!

TWO (repeat TWO) attempts on target for City already tonight, plus gained a first corner for 3 matches. TWO (repeat TWO) corners now. Glorious stuff.
My money’s on Forest tonight

Pearson is a good appointment better than Holden

I think you should hire him perm and he'll soon have fat lazies like Martin out the door

Hope we can do the biz tonight and push well away from trouble

Big game on Friday....

GOOOOAaaaaLllll City , must be dreaming

They wont be lacking in motivation under Pearson

Martin out for the season Sontoran. Can’t see Forest being anywhere near relegation this season. Hugh ton seems to have sorted you out at last

1-0 Derby

Hughton defiantly working his magic now Knew he would sort it given time

Mrs is a massive sci fi geek. Would kill me if she knew I spelt Sontaran wrong!

I cringe at the name sonofdunc

The reason I chose it is because I was watching a Tennant episode with my niece (babysitting for the sister) the night before signing up to the forum, and it stuck in my head

Wish I could change it ffs

222222222222
If City can score 2 surely you can find a way to change your username

I’m having the strangest dream. Will wake up in a minute and we’ll be losing as usual

City a new team

Funny its Boro as well

Good win for you guys sonofdunc

Derby 2 up

a draw isn't bad at Rotherham so I'll that at HT, need to keep them at arms length

Always nice to win against Warnock. He reckons we’ll hold a minute’s booing at Ashton Gate when he dies!
Forest goal would be nice for my account balance.

Hopefully dunc but never good relying on us

How did Swansea lose 4-1 to Huddersfield? needs to be into that in my opinion

Happy Days. Hang on Forest!

Hang on now and we can relax, nicely away from the bottom 3

Knockeart playing a lot better as well

Hopefully sign him in the summer

He's on loan this season

Been the better side again so fully deserved

Hughton seems to have really turned it round Sont. Plenty clean sheets. Bodes wel for the future

0-1 FT will take that

10 points clear of the bottom 3 and we're now tough to even create anything against, so solid so can't see us anywhere near bottom 3, should finish nicely mid table and build for next season

Derby also similar to us so can't see our game on Friday being one for the neutrals

Hopefully dunc

Seems to be clearing away the c*ap now but I always thought we'd see an upturn after a few months under him, was awful to start with but slowly became tough to beat and score against

Swansea level at half time, surely come out on top here

They should G Hall but they did a number other day so fook em tonight

Cardiff on fire at the minute, up to 6th as it stands

Anyone watching preston-qpr game?

No scaredmoney but 0-0 so good job

Top 6 now after what should be game 32

1 Norwich 67
2 Brentford 60
3 Watford 60
4 Swansea 59 (Played 30 so 2 games in hand)
5 Reading 51
6 Cardiff 49 (Some run these are on, they were almost bottom 6 a few weeks ago )

Bottom 6

19 Huddersfield 36
20 Coventry 34
21 Birmingham 31
22 Rotherham 29 (Played 30)
23 Sheff Weds 28 (Played 31)
24 Wycombe 23 (Played 31)

We've pretty much got a boring final few months to the season now

Barnsley in 8th have a game in hand over Cardiff and could take that spot soon

They're playing very well as well Barnsley

McCarthy done very well at Cardiff. Ipswich fans wanted him gone and look where they are now.
Cardiff’s run proves anything is possible and the season’s not dead yet for mid table teams.
Our form in the other direction also. Couldn’t see where the next point was coming from until Tuesday. Still can’t quite believe we got Pearson in.

Pearson is a great appointment at this level. I know he did poorly at Derby but they were never going to be the right fit for him or them, a snoopy owner was always going to end badly for both parties

Bristol City is a better fit in my opinion
