Barnsley much the better side by the sounds of it. Nerves, whatever, just does not sound like we have got going. Having said all that, need the big decisions to go your way on a day like today, and not happened with their goal. Forest sounding like they well deserve their 1-0 HT, and Blackburn involved in a bore fest. Fun fact, last six Blackburn have won have all been 1-0, having drawn at HT 0-0. Have to take the game to Barnsley now. They will be nice and relaxed and enjoying themselves. Ho hum.

After three home wins on the bounce, no reason we can not make it four. We have shown when we get a goal up, we can play some decent stuff. We have also shown when things start going wrong the nerves kick in, and all the pressure is on us today. Other than throwing a two nil away at Wigan, Barnsley have beaten everyone below us away, bar a draw at Burton, so no real reason to believe it will be easy. If a team like Wolves with nothing to play for can win at Leeds last week, then it shows the nothing to play for crowd are no push overs. Also a real shame it looks like Little is out as it means changing what was starting to be a well settled back four. A day also for keeping a keen eye on other results. Wolves at home to Blackburn (seen a fair few Wolves fans saying they would not be to gutted to lose, because Birmingham). Forest at home to Reading, who need points still to secure a play off, as do Leeds at Burton. Birmingham at Villa of all places tomorrow. All of us at the bottom will I am sure also be plastic Wolves fans for the day. Newcastle Aldo play twice before we play Brighton, so still possible Brighton are Champions by the time we get there. Hopefully the key decisions go our way today, we take our chances, and they miss theirs. From memory a game that has had plenty of goals. A nervous 2-1 to us.

I do not think anyone is arguing that we would all be feeling a damned site better if we had won. Sounded like we were more likely to get the second than them to get level. It happens, and then we had to dig out what we could in the last twenty. It could have been 1 point as well. Might have been 7 sure, but it is 4. Its done. On to the next one. Totally in our hands.

That is the nighmare scenario! Of course at one level today was a chance to finish it, and on another day maybe we would have got the second. Did not happen, but we held on. Barnsley's away form is pretty decent, would rather Bham had beaten Burton, but it is what it is. Who knows how it may play out, Brighton could already be confirmed champions by the time we go there and may all be nursing hangovers! Still work to do, but do not think any of our players will feel today was easy!

Jesus H Christ, that last twenty was tough. Yes, would have been nice to have won, and maybe we should have won it in first 60, but Blackburn had to give it everything. Could have won, could have lost, but got the point we might all have settled for before kick off. Not there yet, but one home win should now sort it.

Well, all the key games within one goal at the moment. Sounds like the difference really has been Tammys finish. Not created a huge amount, some shots from distance, but even so more than them. Whatever LJ says, will be difficult not to drop deeper and deeper the longer it stays like this. It is score or bust for them now, so just need to keep doing what we are doing. Fingers crossed!
