Said months ago Norwich were as good as up :)

Comfortably the better side in this one so far

Their shithousery/game management is definitely at Premier League level. I think a 5 year old child could push Pukki over.

Barnsley are starting to be a real worry 1-0 up at the fake hoops.

1-1 :D

Watford seem to have popped up in the auto race out of nowhere. Remember thinking they were pretty dire after that QPR defeat

I saw a bloke on Brentford’s forum saying he’d sell his house for charity if we get an auto place over them.

Barnsley and Cardiff won't keep this up forever. The Championship is a tough league and form like that is rarely sustainable; ours earlier in the season certainly didn't prove to be.

I think Bournemouth could fade away but the form of Barnsley and Cardiff is worrying and Barnsley in particular seem to have played a lot of the top sides already. I think if they win again today they will look pretty nailed on top 6, so we will have to win a lot of games still if we want to join them.

In fact it looks like it could take an unusually high number of points for top 6 as historically 74 is typically enough, but not sure it will be this time. Think we might need to win at least 7 of the last 12.

3-1 Barnsley. Looking like 6 in a row for them now.

Bournemouth are crumbling. Looking poor against Brizzle.

Bournemouth and Swansea both 1 down.

Suicidal goal conceded by Swansea.

Just checked Barnsley’s run in. It really is very gentle - would have to back them from here

Crikey you`re not wrong there, hoping for a few slip ups, us on good Friday could be a big one. got to go to Bournemouth and home to probably already promoted Norwich on the last day.
You have to admire how they have turned from a team that survived the drop on the last day last season to play-off candidates this time around.

As we've seen, a supposedly gentle game may not always be so. Teams will be fighting for their lives and those already on the beach can often be dangerous.

They will drop points but they also have the vibe of us in 11/12 just coming from nowhere with massive momentum. Fair play if they keep this up.

Bournemouth have a difficult looking run in, after going away to Preston this Saturday they have 3 home games against Barnsley Swansea and boro. they have to go to Norwich and Millwall and home to Brentford before the end.

Just watching Bournmouth v Brizzle....Bournmouth starting to resemble Boro under Woodgate.....uninspiring. I've got this as a draw on my weekly accumulator. Hopefully it will finish that way......probably jinxed it now.

Also got Wednesday and Rotherham down also......bloody looking good.

Pretty epic run by Barnsley. I'd be rooting for them if we weren't contending ourselves

Kind of a mirror image of us went they. Owned by a billionaire who wants to pump a fortune into the club but FFP is preventing them from spending. Certainly feel they might be now be starting to believe they can have a say in the last automatic place.
