No argument with that. The celebrations of Idah's late goal at Bristol City (not Hull, thanks TGS) told us everything we needed to know on that score. Obviously as fans the past is the past. We're in a great position now, better than most of us predicted at the start of the season and way better than most of us feared at Christmas. All that's left now is to enjoy being in the 'interesting positions' again and try to roar the boys home. But part of Knapper's job is to take a more dispassionate view of how the head coach is doing, and when he does so, there'll be stuff in both columns of his list. That's all I'm saying.

Agree completely. Think three wins should just about be enough. So we have to win the two home games and find a win somewhere on the road. Going to take a huge effort to win on Tuesday. A couple of points from those two away games would not be a bad return, actually. Would be delighted with anything more.

Ha, yeah, probably. I do love Onel, fwiw

And this is all we want from our team, really, isn't it? The sense that they care as much as we do. Obviously it's all a bit of a mirage - they're professionals and they'll be off caring for someone else if the money is right - but they put it on the line yesterday, just as we would hope to do if we were good enough to get in the team. And they've been doing it all season. There's a lot of failings in the team, and squad, but none of them are about effort or bottle. Never Mind the Danger.

Yeah, I think this is a fair point. I don't think many fans were expecting us to keep challenging right at the top with all those injuries. But we shouldn't have been as bad as we were in that period. Just way too easy to play against. He's a stubborn old bügger, Wagner, which can be a quality - I'm full of admiration of the way he rode out that period where he was getting a lot of stick (some deserved, but more undeserved, in my view) to get us to this period where we're real contenders again. Don't think even the most optimistic saw this coming, though I guess the old folks would say you never can tell. But his stubbornness in sticking to system he didn't have the players to make work was a mistake. Obviously impossible to know from the outside, but it did seem to change when Knapper arrived. Easy to imagine a meeting where BK said to him, 'keep conceding two goals a game and you're not going to be in a job much longer.'

Mascot might be his best position tbh

Might wait till May to answer this question tbh.

Should have had a go in goal. You couldn't have done any worse

You are very welcome. We really couldn't have done much more. Given six points to you and Leeds, taken four off the binmen. Now you need to return the favour and keep them out of the top two. It really is the least you can do.

Wednesday on Tuesday is a tougher game than it might otherwise have been. Going to take a massive effort to get the boys up for that after the derby, especially as Wagner (absolutely rightly) didn't really make any subs yesterday. Wouldn't be too unhappy with a point from that game. Not over yet by a long chalk, but the run-in does look pretty favourable to us. OTBC

Yeah, it was a lame joke about how young he looks

Kellen Fisher was still five years away from being born

Looked great, @Puntino and others. Obviously aware it's a hell of a logistical exercise, but really hope it can become a regular thing again. On the ball, City

Haha. It really does never get old, does it?

He's playing the long game. Far better to break 1p5wich hearts on the last day of the season...

You're having an absolute shocker on here tonight, even by your subterranean standards. Would suggest you leave this site and see if you can find some black-and-white footage somewhere on the internet of your lot winning an East Anglian derby

Excellent point. I'd also say that bringing WBA into the equation can only be good for us. Feels like us, Cov and WBA are playing for two places now, which is better odds than us and Cov playing for one place. And it's always good, as you say, to be looking up rather than down.

Good tweet, this: "The 1 and 5 in 1p5wich now has a whole new meaning..."

Love it. That's what it's all about.

I have some reservations about him, but today's not the day for that. What you can't argue with is that his players play for him. They have done all season, even when the results weren't there. And today, when they really had to turn up, they really turned up. Fair play to him - hope he's really enjoying his evening.

LOL. I mean, fair play for coming on tonight, but also, LOL.

Now it's over I feel able to say I was absolutely dreading today. Really feared it was the day our run would come to an end, and that they'd be crowing about being top of the league. So, so glad to be wrong. Fair play to everyone involved for rising to the occasion. Never Mind the Danger.

Yes, that's a very good point.
