Royal_jimmy Barnsley and Cardiff are both must win games. Can't see us getting much at Watford or Norwich. Swansea at home will be tough and they always come to our place without being pushed and winning comfortably


We won't beat Cardiff. Just watching them now v Swansea and its just a barrage of long balls and throw ins hurled into the box. We struggle against direct sides and they are an upgrade on Boro and Millwall.

Do we need to beat them, or might a draw be enough?

Beginning to feel a bit like whoever makes the plsy-offs are likely to fall over the line.

Everyone looks shot. Us having to play the top 2 and a few around the battle may strangely be a blessing.

We did, but McCarthy is a big upgrade on Harris, has players ready made for his style of football too. More than anyone I hope they don't make the top 6.

We did but they are better now. Could do with a Swansea equaliser.

Agree - literally anything could happen from now on in, its getting impossible to predict any result. Look at Rotherham and Sheffield today.

Swansea have somehow managed 18 shots, none on target.

Even though Cardiff are getting closer to us I`m delighted to see Steve Cooper getting it stuffed up him.

Bloody hate Swansea

Fluke games when playing shit against teams I want them to lose to, and the minute I want them to win a couple of games they crumble and lose them both

They certainly haven’t done us any favours.

They're doing everything in their power to make sure we fall out of the play-offs after we so generously capitulated against them on the last day last season for them to get in the play-offs.

It's pretty gosh darn rude.

And another reason I don't like them is they always beat us

Looks like Neil might be on his way out of Preston with just 2 wins in 13

Lots of talk about staying patient with managers and I agree to an extent but it’s interesting how Neil has almost got his side in a worse position each season four times in a row, sometimes you just have to cut your losses

Looking like Newcastle away next season then...an absolutely tepid display against Brighton tonight, which is a shame as Brighton bore me to death!

Newcastle would be a great away day for me. 90 minute train, great city with plenty of good pubs.

Never seen such a gutless performance in the PL. no pressing , no energy, no nothing, their fans must be fuming.

They are a joke team. JoeLOLinton has to be one of the worst strikers I've ever seen in football, and I saw Gregorz Rasiak play for us.

Worse then ade akinbiki, soldado, Jo, Bosko BaLOLoban (9 oxf*rd games in 3 years :lol:), probably just as bad as Ricky van wolfvinkel
