Yeah that's going down a storm. Some people liked it though...

To be fair Wagner isn't happy about having a thin squad and is clearly making a point with not playing SVH under any circumstances and probably also by taking Sarge off. Running the squad down to these sort of levels is really quite concerning and you have to worry who we'll have left should we fail to get promotion.

That's cloud cuckoo land though. The reality is we need EPL football for the money. Conceding goals from set pieces is damned annoying. It's even more annoying when you take one of your taller players off and leave 2 of theirs unmarked at the back stick.

From our perspective I would hope it's done and dusted before then, but it seems likely they'll need to win that game. It effectively becomes a play-off quarter final should be need to get a result there.

Our recent away form has been pretty terrible. We just throws points away from a winning position. Unless we're playing Ipswich I don't see us getting to Wembley.

Nah we would have taken 4 pts from Ipswich and Sheff Wed and being 5 pts ahead of Coventry. Sheff Wed gave us more problems than Ipswich, who wouldn't have scored had they been still been playing now.

All bar 1 of Preston's remaining games are against current top 6 teams. If they can get into the play-offs after that lot they will be very fortunate, or brilliant. We ought to have enough of a cushion to get 6th, but I really don't fancy our chances getting to Wembley.

I said on another thread 4 pts or more from our 2 games this week then we would be in a very strong position. 2 pts or less then it gets tricky. Our squad is bog paper thin though and possibly thinner if Gibbs is long term injured and Duffy carrying a knock.

Could have sent Barnes off too.

It might look better if we lose at Preston though!

Think we can safely assume we won't be buying SVH. Problem is we don't have a striker we can bring on in place of Sargent. You can't blame Wagner for players missing chances but he thought the game was in the bag far too soon and at 2-0 you have to make sure you score the next goal, not the opposition.

Leeds fans boo. Could be them or Leicester in the play-off semi.

Yes that's what happened. Clear to elaborate? Go on CC jump off the fence...

Anyone care to update?

Er what? Could have been 6-0 up. Sarge taken off far too soon.

Appalling 2nd half, and Wagner to blame really.

Preston win. Must not lose there now.

Looking a bit daft taking Sarge off now.

Shocking defending!

Really need Duffy on

Get Barnes off.

Batth out jumped.

Lump down the pitch by Bannan and both our CBs are too slow.

FFS Gibson. That was a let off.

Sh1te in training I suppose
