Well I guess if we have cheated we should get a massive points deduction? Oh that's right. We haven't cheated.
In the words of Gus Poyet, Ian Hollway and Paul Ince should "Shut up. Proper shut up"
Touchy!  |

It's ground me down! 4 months of people digging away - Holloway, Ince, pundits, the papers. Ince called us a team of divers this week with whinging fans.  |

Should have won on Saturday but when you are behind with 7 minutes left a point is not so bad.
As has been said this is such a good league and it changes every week.
Now getting all set for the Amex on Sunday. Can't wait but bit worried about how we been playing away lately.
Brighton under big pressure though after last two results.
Cheering on burnley tonight :-)
Oh the irony - Watford (+ Palace) hoping Dyche will come to the 'rescue' ...... I love the nuances in this League. |

Quite fancy Dull to win tonight. Burnley are a big, physical bunch with not much flair and Dull are well set up to deal with that. Sigh @ having to watch Boydy in a horrible, two-week-old banana coloured kit  1-0 Dull with Boydy to score. Don't hold out much hope for Poshies away at Leeds tomorrow. We were awful against a poor Dipshits team on Saturday and a few are defo feeling the effects of a busy period, not least Grant McCann. But for Bond-villain Olejnik in goal we'd have been smashed around. Gonna back any other score (4+ goals for either side on Daq) and hope for a Posh miracle. |

That really was an outrageous amount of insight you don't expect to see in a program. Also the flack that was given to El-Abd, in the most politest way possible, was also amusing. |

Would say the thing that impressed me about Hull when we played them recently, was how well they were set up defensively, which really gave us trouble to penetrate them with much ease. We needed a dodgy penalty to open the floodgates, but I can see how in other matches they play they must be a very tough team to beat.
Especially as they were away from home.
I really can't call who is going into this second place spot. I would have said Palace if we had won on Saturday. But the nature of our draw, highlights some disturbing problems at the back for us that hadn't came up in a good amount of games. I think playing KG at right back unsettled our two centre backs as his positioning wasn't the greatest at times and add that to how much we miss him in the midfield with Jedinak.
I am confident we have very effective midfield and attacking options, but we need KG back in the middle with Jedinak, as our last game and a half with him there has meant we have looked a little shaky. Just have to hope Jazz Richards or Joel Ward come back, to solidify our defense, as I would say that is where we are at our weakest. I too do not rate Butterfield too highly but he still gets a lot of gametime with us.
Big race to the finish line now!

The Championship is such a great league isn't it? The unpredictability makes it for me.
This thread has also had some great debate too. No plastic fans here.
Putting loyalties aside, who is going to get that 2nd spot?
Too tough to call I think.

Yeah, they set up good defence didn't they? You only knocked four past them. Palace 4-2 hull |

Ashley barnes sent off for third time in 15 months. Sparrow did twice and was never seen again.
Hopefully happens to him although we only have one striker in our squad now whose unfit.

SOD is a top coach. Can't help liking the guy. Always suprised that a big premiership club haven't snapped him up to be part of their coaching set up. |
