Branston Pickle 3,661 Posted March 16 An interesting weekend with a few sides missing games in our division, and not a lot going on in the PL. Loads of matches on the old terrestrial channels this weekend for once - starting with Wolves v Coventry in the cup - I guess we hope for an away win, it’ll give them a bit of catching up to do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to see Cov win. Aside from being our playoff rivals, I like them as a club, plus we all hate Wolves! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 4,931 Posted March 16 (edited) Wolves Coventry very entertaining so far. Well worth a watch. Kasey Palmer again looking good On the downside, Ally McCoist is providing 'expert' analysis. Suggest viewing with the sound off.

RobJames 881 Posted March 16 Boro and Cardiff will see their games as a chance to catch up/keep in touch. WBA will not want to drop points, neither will we, but...... At the bottom there are seven clubs with 3 points separating them from the two relegation places. - all bottom three are Yorkshire clubs with two of them playing in the Flat Cap Derby, R'ham v H'field. Not all bad though, Sheff Utd showing what can be achieved if you 'give it a go' in the PL. The other Sheff club will doubtlessly be hammered by the 'already won title binners' (surely winners ?). I'll be watching the first half of the bumsniffers game at Cardiff, before watching City at Stoke. Let's hope Ricardo and his trusty bike have made it to Stoke. He tells me that when he was a young lad he would bowl along to home games with his hoop and stick, until some c*** nicked it, and he had to walk all the way home. 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobJames 881 Posted March 16 In the battle of the Taffs, Swansea take the lead. A defeat there for Cardiff would put a big dent into their late dash for the playoffs. Now let's see the Boro have their hopes dented as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Well b back 3,208 Posted March 16 As much as I hate Wolves, it has to be said they have been done by VAR yet again, twice. They say they have cameras everywhere yet the BBC camera was the only one that wasn’t inconclusive. Then the Wolves player caught in the penalty area, that didn’t get a penalty as he refused to fall over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I bang on about this, but I'd really like us to have a proper go at the FA Cup, playing the first team, aiming for a decent run in the competition. Obviously sometimes you're unlucky and get Liverpool (a), but as Coventry have proved today, if you're a Championship team good enough to compete for the play-offs, getting to a Wembley semi-final is a a realistic goal. Really pleased for them - and a bit jealous. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Boro dropping a couple of points, so suggesting it is now one from four for sixth place. We did what was asked, with another boost to our goal difference. No need for catching up, that is for the other three. Coventry looked awesome earlier, but the cup 'might' be a distraction. Preston will need two wins more to overhaul us (GD). Nothing much changed, only one less game for others to catch us And well one Italy, no longer the Six Nations whipping boys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah for sure, not impossible for 3rd place to miss out on 100 pts. How absolutely awful would that be if it happened to Ipswich 🙈 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobJames 881 Posted March 16 19 minutes ago, Creedence Clearwater Couto said: Gonna be some points haul for the top two this season. And a projected 72 points for 6th place - which is based on 38 games (Hull) That has not changed since after Xmas, the suggested points total varying between 70-73 points, one game depending each time. 4 wins and a couple of draws out of our last 8 should see us in the playoffs, but there's always Boro, Blackburn and QPR to trip us up However I doubt anyone, not even me☺️, would have us where we are now back in Nov when we were 17th I've now shifted up another gear to - dare to expect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
