It is

[Lanterne Rouge]

Be great for him to get the other two before the end of the season. 20 goals in his first season in England given how crap we`ve been is truly some achievement.

Very true, mate.

Still, we should at least be thankful to Cotts and Burt for bringing over the talent that is Jimmy Kodjia. after his mid-season confidence crisis he's back in the goal machine groove now!

Everyone`s off to the Euros so got to do it before then I suppose.

Well everyone apart from the Scots that is.

[Offside]

I'm relieved that we're now mathematically safe, something that didn't look likely a few months ago. Another good away point. Now we can enjoy the last two games.

Despite what happened this seasons, I'm still very greatful to Cotts - we looked more likely to be in League Two than the Championship when he arrived.

I hope that SC gets back in the game soon, and is able to enjoy more success, though I think we made the correct choice in sacking him.

This summer simply cannot be like last time; the previous year we bought early and bought smart, and that was a massive part of our first title in 60 years.

I'm encouraged by Ashton openly speaking about the benefits of this approach, and if he can make good on this (certainly if the calibre of player obtained matches those we've brought in since he's been here), then I believe we'll be significantly better off.

But tonight I'm going to FINALLY celebrate the fact we've retained our Championship status - looking forward to us facing the like Villa and perhaps Sunderland and/or Newcastle next year, rather than Northampton or possibly some recent non-team who used to play in Bath.

Good work, City!

Yup flying into UK for the Eng v Wales game, then off to France for 10 days. 4 games.

Sheff U, I reckon.

Adkins has failed there; I think they will look for a change this summer. Who better than Cotts ?

Fair play to the young rovers fan on the radio who congratulated us staying up

Yep heard that too. Fair play. 

Also fair play to my wife who's had a terrible season washing my pants.

How sweet

He's got more sense that some of the adults.  I think his name is Ollie!

Yep. We barely deserve to stay up this season. Said for ages if we do stay up, it won't be because we deserve It...it will be because the other teams were ever sh*tter  

 

Thats how league football works right? The teams near the bottom are not as good as the teams at the top, the teams that are worst go down. \it's the same every season, so not sure what your point is.

[Redandy]

Well done. I had thought we were gone. Breathe a sigh of relief and then start worrying about the transfer campaign

.

[kevthered]

well done u red's' I thought back in December I would never be saying that so lets hope we have a good summer and start by being a top half team at least next year

[exAtyeoMax]

Hope Flinty's ok

[havanatopia]

2-2?... what we let 2 goals in against those muppets?.. useless.

That`s his 100% record gone too - real shame. Still, it might be a chance for us to get a look at Pearce if we are seriously looking to sign him in the summer (not ITK, just speculating).

LJ says on RB   players off until Thursday now as a reward.

OK with that, I suspect Huddersfield might be doing the same since they`re safe as well.

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

LJ also said he will be starting to compile his list of players required and possible new players on Monday. Good to hear that a lesson has been learn't since last Summer.

Probably he had two lists, a championship one and a league one version.

Yes, but the league one version was written by SC!

He actually said on Twitter " we have our lists " so it sounds like they know what they are after by now, so please get on with it asap , unlike last years nightmare
