  1. It would hurt not to win the title at this stage. For us to not go up we would need to lose both games with Leeds winnig both of theirs. Considering we both face the same opponent (Villa) this is unlikely. We have also not lost this calendar year. To lose our last 2 games would be most unexpected. So we have to consider that we are up. Which leaves only the title. If we could produce a good thumping win tonight, with a convincing performance and the crowd behind us it would make not winning the title very unlikely. A point against Villa would be all we'd need. If we are to be champions, we have to consider ourselves good enough to get that
  2. Onel has looked tired last couple of games. Buendia shouldnt be after his little break, hopefully he will now have shaken off the rust
  3. It is poor, but being bottom of the league we know that. Im just making the point that statistically they're more likely than not to at least score, and their games have generally been close rather than getting whooped every week. Im just being optimistic, that although they're ****, they might not be so **** that they wont make Sheffield Utd work for it
  4. Ipswich have only failed to score in 8 of those 20 games. I know Sheffield Utd have it all to play for and are a far better team - but Ipswich are worth a goal at least in this game. If they can score against the blades, anything is possible
  5. Ipswich's record this calendar year. Bar ourselves and Preston, the scorelines are generally close. I dont know how in the games they have been, but perhaps there is hope they will give Sheffield Utd more of a game than we give them credit for
  6. This may yet prove premature... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-47735913
  7. The breakdown of games today is interesting. With the rest of the pack haivng traditional 3pm kick-offs today, Leeds dont play, Sheffield Utd play at 17:15 and then us when we know their result, at 19:30. Anything can happen in the Championship, but we have to expect Sheffield Utd to beat Ipswich. They already have a 1 goal better goal difference, meaning regardless of the actual scoreline, victory for them would take them top and see us entering the Blackburn game in second place on Goal Difference. We've not lost this calendar year, so although we've had a dip in form, looking at things objectively, and statistically, it would be a surprise for us to lose either of our final 2 games, even though Villa are the form side - we may need to hope and pray Villa are on a bit of a wind-down ahead of the play-offs. I cant see us realistically failing to achieve promotion, for us to lose both of our final games would be a surprise considering our record. BUT with regards to the title it is definitely squeaky bum time. We are reasonable to expect a victory against Blackburn - we're at home, they are mid-table with nothing to play for. We should expect to beat them, but as we know, any result is possible in this league. On the positive side it is still in our hands. A point against Blackburn takes us up and keeps our destiny in our own hands, meaning all we have to do on the final day of the season is match Sheffield Utd's result and we win the league. We HAVE to have the belief that to be champions, we can beat any team in this league, so we have to believe we can beat Villa. How welcome would a performance from Ipswich be today though? Football - funny old game...
  8. You cant complain that we didnt beat Stoke, yet in the same sentence suggest Stoke may roll over next week
  9. Id prefer to go to bed with Kylie Minogue every night, whats your point?!
  10. No Leeds are on 82. If we get a point here were on 88 with a superior GD. If Leeds lose they will only have 6 points to play for
  11. As it stands we're realistically up if Leeds lose to Brentford
