I expect Wigan to overtake them, not so sure about Reading. Another couple of poor results could see them hovering just over the relegation area. Which would be nice. League positions mean nothing. They are the best team in the division. End of. Joey says so, so it must be true... If a team who have been docked points end up getting more points than a club that doesn't have a deduction to contend with, doesn't make them any better than Joeys team - in the same way that teams up around the top of the table, with more points, who score more goals & concede less goals... just numbers blah blah blah - none of them are as good as Joeys team..! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think of anyone else more suited to that odious shower. Given that Luton are Steve's latest favourite team I wouldn't be surprised if he has Jones on his short list to replace Nigel. Be afraid, be very afraid. Edited October 22, 2023 by chinapig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Rovers fans Burton only realised very late that Rovers have a massive away following so made a late call to allow pay on the day, or at least that’s what someone on Gaschat said. I’m sure we sold out well before it could go to pay on the day at Burton both times when we played there a few seasons back, although Rovers have much better away support.
