Villa one up at Boro, a surprise to be honest.

Best 11 we have, Pato and Baker both fit to start. Really hope they are both close to 100%. Happy we seem to be going one up front to start with. Not the strongest looking bench, but it is what we have left! That Wolves side looks awfully strong...but then so did Man Red.

Let’s see what team we can put out then...

Happy with Villa and Boro drawing, and Leeds being held at Birmingham. May all change, but ok at moment.

Still looking at top six to be honest. Next four include Wolves, Villa and Derby. If we can get through that lot, then who knows!

Shows how with the odd exception we have had to play to the end for all our results, with their gd better than ours, given our 4-1 v them.

Derby, 5.5 clean sheets in a row. Hopefully Ipswich can bust it, even if Derby cruising in the first half...and there is their second.

With the obvious exception of Derby, not a bad set of results at half time.

Think Golbourne has his work cut out today. MK already down to nine men!

Only comment from the reporter at the Derby game is that it is a surprise they are only one up.

Derby, currently bookies fav to get second, on a great run at the moment. Hopefully Ipswich can get back in to it. Going to be a big game down there.

A win to secure LJ another manager of the month, pipping Derby and Leeds.

Best team in the league, and given what they have spent so far, should be. Keep thinking with our injuries the next game will be our 'bridge to far' and been proven wrong each time. Their form has not been steller last five games, but includes four clean sheets, so hard to beat. Deep down do not think either manager will be too disappointed with a draw, so have gone 1-1.

Quite agree

Children, caring about such a thing...

That is a fair report. Sheff Utd played some lovely stuff. Equally we do seem to have a habit. In many ways battered away here and at Wolves, and come away having scored 5 goals and got four points.

There were some truly great last ditch tackles and saves, but yea, they also had to many real chances not to say we rode our luck big time. For whatever reason, did not quite click for us tonight. Leko? Some player...if he only had a brain.

Got to be honest, think the result is a lot lot better than the performance, but a great great win. Hull, Boro and Sheff U on the bounce, two with late late winners. If we are down Reid and Smith next game we are to the bones, but just going to enjoy tonight?

20 goals? That's how!

One shocking tackle to the side, we have been second best all night really. LJ got a lot right the season, but for whatever reason we just do not seem to have got going. Maybe just the cumulative injuries now catching up with us.

That's a real shame. Got to say I was enjoying some of the football they were playing, whilst hoping we could sneak one. After that tackle, sod them. Let's give him no chance to even it up,

Shame. Hoped a goal lead would put increasing pressure on them. Ho hum.

Elliason off.

Djuric with 30 to go I would expect. To be fair, the ones we are missing are showing on a night like tonight. edit, or even now!

Elements of the Wolves game, seemingly getting outplayed, on the ropes, and then bang, we score. Lets be fair, if the second half has the same balance we are likely to lose, might need some tweaking to bring a bit more balance, but robbing them so far. Fielding keeping us in it.
