2-2. In my view the worst result for Plymouth. Norwich (playing Bham) will be as good as there, whereas Hull (at Plymouth) must win to have a chance. Fancy the pilgrims will now be cheering for ‘anyone’.

Hull winner and suddenly WBA are 6th purely on gd.

Which settles the playoffs if it sticks.

No way Hull make up more than 10 GD on WBA.

Important one for both Plymouth and Birmingham this one I think. Plymouth home to Hull and Birmingham to Norwich. Hull win, and Norwich need a win last day to be sure, and Hull have to win to have a chance. Hull lose, and Norwich and Hull and pretty much neither have anything to play for. Think if I was a Plymouth fan I would rarher Hull win this, and Norwich then do Birmingham. 

Minor observation, we will finish the season in the top half.

Huddersfield (as good) as down. Looks to be between Birmingham and Plymouth. Would need both to win to drag Sheff Wed back in to it.

Can we finally flush them Bham down the bowl?

QPR aren't relegation threatened, and weren't last night either.

And even if they were, it just shows what I mean. Leeds were embarrassed last night losing a game that they really shouldn't have, equally we can be happy with this scoreline, but it is what should be expected. 2-0 v Rotherham is par. We've still delivered the goods, done our job, and done it fairly easily. But it's still just what we should expect.

Entirely agree they are poor. If I am splitting hairs, they concede about 2, but also score about 0.75 a match. So winning by 2 is above average.

But yes. Job done (so far).

Wed now three up…and still not safe as things stand.

Is anyone in the POs actually in form?

Good point. Worth remembering just how poor Rotherham are.

For sure. Can only beat what is in front of you of course and we deserve to be ahead.

Just for context. 2 is (rounded from 1.93) the average number of goals conceded by Rotherham this season.

Par.

So far…

We are going 11th, say we are going 11th…

What we were told he could do from FKs.

Cardiff two down. Just need to bring this one home now lads..

Wed go two up!

Huddersfield! 1-1.

I prefer to believe that our Gary has had a mare there TBH!

Yep, it would need a lot of infrastructure put in place, live feeds to VAR teams etc. Would need a lot of planning.

I mean, it’s alright? No more than that. At my one look a somewhat soft penalty, but we have created a bit more and deserve just to be ahead. What we all expected pretty much. TC getting in good positions, but not looking sharp with the finishing.

Birmingham one up. Boo!

As it stands, we are 2 points off 8th

The real battle in this league is between us and Cardiff.

Was that a pen? A lot around us seem to think there was no contact

On stream, it looked a dive anticipating contact.

Got to say, would have moaned if it had been given against us.

1-0

And the Championship.

Not kept them that busy. No goals at all so far.

Having said that Sheff Wed just pop one in. And Swansea.

In terms of going up I can't really warm to.any of them.

Leicester may have breached FFP and maybe set to breach again.

Ipswich well nuff said.

Southampton, Russell Martin.

Ironically Leeds don't fit any of those and certainly appear to be aligned to FFP e.g. 

I would not be too disappointed to see Leeds go up, for the simple reason they always seem to beat us!

Cardiff, Coventry, PNE & Middlesbrough all lose tomorrow whilst City win would see City 8th with one game to go. 

We can all dream can't we. After all, a unique and unlikely set of results can occur; just ask Rovers about the 2013-14 season. 

We can only go ahead of Cardiff tomorrow. 8th is the mathematical highest we can finish if most of those lose two matches.

Just imagine; 46 games in a season and City have 23 undeserved and dull 1-0 home wins coupled with 23 dull and boring 0-0 away draws.

It would not be enjoyable entertainment, BUT City would have 92 points and a goal difference of +23.

I don’t mind a team built around a defence that is rock solid. The closest we have got to that, and your results, is that GJ season. It’s not end to end, but being able to defend like demons is also enjoyable in its way. You come away believing you deserved the 1-0 because you gave the other team nothing.

That is different to 1-0 wins where you give away too many chances the other team just misses. Sooner or later you will revert to the mean.

When you look at the table in October, it's amazing we've actually got a chance really. That win today has dragged Plymouth and Blackburn right back into it. Tricky last couple of games, impossible to predict what is going to happen.

 

 

Stating the bloody obvious, but it would be quite the effort to not get 50 points when at the moment you are now 44 points off 31.
