  1. There surely can be no excuses for not spending money this summer. We are told that Venkys can now send money across, barring some small "minor technical challenges"; we sold Wharton for £22m; are getting circa £4m for Raya; more TV money to the tune of around £2m; and Sammie will go for around £10-12m. That's £40m+ in revenue. I know most of that is paid in instalments but we can also pay transfer fees in instalments too. I fully expect a summer of spending buttons, making administrative 'mistakes' on any transfer involving a fee, and signing non-entities like Telalovic, though. We are now purely all about developing young players and have been for some time. There's no ambition to get promoted. I wouldn't give a penny to Broughton anyway. I dread to think how much money he'd waste. His record in the transfer market is atrocious. Anyone who thinks we should pay a fee for Leo, our worst GK in history, clearly does not have an eye for a player.
  2. A terrible day for QPR. I'd be getting very concerned if I was them. We prob have done enough now but 1 more point at least would be nice. We're decent at home under Eustace - only losing to Ipswich - so I'd expect us to get a point in one of the next 2 home games.
  3. That's huge for us that goal. Turned a very bad set of results into good ones. Sheff W and Hudds have a very tough task to overtake us now
  4. I hate Bristol City. You must knew they'd not show up today.
  5. They've lost that one then. Preston, Leeds, Coventry to play. They're back in it big time.
  6. QPR losing. They could be back in big trouble if they lose today with their fixtures to come.
  7. That certainly makes up for Wednesday. An away day masterclass.
  8. Even if we lose today we have at least shown some guts and fight unlike on Wednesday.
  9. We'll take that at ht. The big problem is we have no attacking threat at all so when Leeds inevitably score, we have no chance of getting back into it. Nice to see their fans getting frustrated though.
  10. It's now between us, Birmingham, Sheff W, and Huddersfield for the final two spots. I had Plymouth to go down but that's an incredible result for them tonight and sees them safe. Fair play to them though. I see it this way: We'll lose tomorrow and against Leicester, and draw against Sheff W and Cov. 48 points in total. Birmingham will lose tomorrow, beat Rotherham, draw against Hudds, and draw against Norwich. 47 points. Sheff W will win tomorrow, draw against us, beat WBA and draw at Sunderland. 49 points. Huddersfield will draw against Bristol City, draw against Brum, win against Swansea, and lose to Ipswich. 48 points. That would keep us up on GD but the championship is so unpredictable. The only thing that is predictable is that we prob won't win another game so we are reliant on other results.
  11. Dreadful result for us. Takes Plymouth out of it and means Leicester will need a result on the final day now. We're in big trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if Huddersfield get a win tomorrow and Bristol City do us over twice in a week.
  12. I wish that was the case but there's no way we lose the next 4 and stay up. One more win will see us safe but after how bad last night was and how bad Eustace's win record is, I'm struggling to see how we get a win with our fixture list. If we don't get another win then we go down.
  13. A lot of neutrals tipping us to go down now and I agree with them. I was hopeful after recent results but I think we only have one point left in us, which we'll prob get against Wednesday. 47 points won't be enough. Us and Brum are going down I reckon.
  14. Coventry, Norwich, Rotherham, Huddersfield. I cannot say see them picking up points against Cov, they'll beat Rotherham and I reckon a draw against Hudds. If Norwich have the play offs secured by the final day then i can see them getting a win. 7 points max I reckon. 7 points from 4 games is a big feat though when you're at the bottom. Results this round do mean that Leicester have a chance of being promoted by the time we play them. If that is the case, we may have a chance of a draw there. If we beat Sheff W then we're safe. I just don't think we'll beat them. They're a very plucky team and we're not.
  15. Only positive I can take from tonight is that Brum will struggle to stay up after tonight. That's a massive loss in very winnable game. Huddersfield and Stoke got a tonking too this round of fixtures and only Millwall picked up 3 points. If we best Sheff W then we stay up. The problem is that they have far more fight, passion, and guts than us so I wouldn't be surprised at all if they beat us. We're essentially relying on other results now. I fully expect Hudds to beat Bristol City at the weekend. You just know they'll be on there holidays after this result.
  16. Brum lose which is a big result for us. Our run in is shocking though. I can only see us getting one more point from our run in. We're paying other results go our way. We've blown it big time tonight and only have ourselves to blame.
  17. This is a sackable offence imo. Pathetic in such a big game.
  18. Given the magnitude of this game for us and the fact Bristol have nothing to play for, this has to rank as one of the worst results and performances in the past decade.
