Pretty sure we had a few against stoke!

Not away we didn’t, soundly beaten.

I think you're both talking about different games. In the away game we had 2 on target, at home 8. The home game was one of those where the goalie had a blinder.

He made a couple of good saves away too

I didn't mean to put Pears in, Toth has been very good since coming in and done well. 

I think Karbgo with his pace would give us the extra factor and in behind threat 

Ordinarily I'd say Kargbo is a bit too fresh back from injury to start him in a game of this magnitude when we have been in great form lately. But it's Hedges he'd be replacing so I wouldn't be mad about it.

I can see how either could be useful here...Hedges as more of a defensive winger when we expect to be in our own half more often than not, against a good side away. But Kargbo for the pace on the counter attack that turns games like this, plus we need to win not just avoid losing as might have been the approach for a game like this a month ago.

Still I think I'd start Hedges, and if it's not working out around the 50-60 minute mark, bring Kargbo on against more tired legs so he can cause problems.

I went Sheffield United’s fam forum to see what their sentiment was, and my god is their forum shite compared to ours. Makes you appreciate the work done by the BRFCS contributors.

Appreciate you hid this post with a note saying “doesn’t add much to the conversation”, but my ego has unhidden it.

Preston are absolutely piss; and imo will go down tomorrow so we can discount them. Burnley will want to break the clean sheet record and also win the title so wouldn’t expect millwall to get anything there either.

So for my money it’s all on us and that Coventry game. A win and Coventry fail to win and we’ve somehow made it. Can’t see it personally, but let’s see! If only we’d had a shot on goal vs Stoke, Derby and Cardiff 👀 

Preston draw a lot.  I'm thinking they'll do that tomorrow. Millwall will lose, Coventry will win.  We will concede early doors and score a late equaliser.   Creditable effort and all that but ultimately  no use.  

[Mattyblue]

Yep, draws are what have done for them this season (they’ve actually lost two fewer games than us).

[neophox]

Who shit cares...we go and do our job and see if it's enough...ending the season with 5 straight wins would be hilarious if it also takes us to the playoffs 😂😂😂

I have a few Burnley supporting mates and most of them think if Leeds are winning easily, Burnley will chuck it. Some even think their crowd will chant "Let them score"

I was at Plymouth, and i was far more nervous that day.

Disagree. We have to win the game. Avant!

Trafford will want the clean sheet and they will want the 100 points.

Sadly forums are dying out. 

Gotta appreciate what you have - the modern way is shouting into the void on social media.

Imagine being that petty after watching 15 years of your rival having their face stamped in by an oppressive Indian boot. 

No wonder they have the reputation around the football world that they do.

Absolute bollocks, I haven’t come across any dingles with that mindset. 
 

If it did all go tits up they would of course claim they wrecked our play off bid, probably come up with a pathetic chant about it like.

Not "Bollocks" Dave. Sadly.

Excited for tomorrow. Whatever happens, we had no business being in this position after the run we were on. I was fully checked out of the season before we got that first win and didn't think we'd win another game this season, glad they've brought some pride back into the team.

Anyone based in Sydney watching the game today?  Or is there a supporters club out here anyone knows about?  Wish I could be in the away end but if someone could point me in the direction of anything or anyone over this way, I’d be highly appreciative!

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Wide awake at 5am! Just want a win, we can’t dictate what happens elsewhere. Play for the club and fans, not the shit owners. COYB’s!!!!

Final day nerves have kicked in and I’ve been awake since 5:30am.
