Well they seem to have covered all the angles! Ultimately decided by a play-off if can't be separated by points , goal difference , goals scored,performance against each other or penalty points issued during the season is my summary! Don't think we will ever see one of these play-offs but at least we know! Thanks for that!

Big Club didn't have a lot going for it eh?!!

Yes, of corse you're right, I've got a headache looking at the table and trying to work out the various permutations. So, I'll get out of it by asking a more general question! If 2 sides finish up with the same points and the same goal differences is it the one which score the most goals that stays up? What happens if 2 sides finish with identical points and goals?

Could someone please clarify this issue for me? Birmingham won 1-0 on Saturday giving them 50 points. If we'd lost 1-0, we'd have stayed on 50 and the goal difference for both of us would gave been -15. Who would have stayed up ----us or them? Would it be us because we'd scored more goals? Shows what a knife-edge we were on. On that basis , if we'd lost and Big club had scored 1 more goal we would have been down.

There are plenty Rovers fans who are sad he left for that matter! I'm not one of them though!. As someone wrote above, if you want to stabilise forever in the Championship, Tony is your man.

In reality one man doesn't often. dominate the score-sheet in the way Sammi has. Its more usual for 2 to share the goals and that's what I feel we'll need. Since we can't afford one, how will we get 2? Back to loans I imagine.

2 goals in 13 appearances, perststent injuries----sounds perfect.

The Arsenal game I'm referring to was a Cup game?

Yeah, all of a sudden he's worth £50M apparently! Now he's not with us that is.

I do not remember that ever before.

He's not useless. When he came we were on a disastrous run that pointed clearly to relegation. We couldn't get a win for love or money. He did what he had to do, he made us hard to beat (with some obvious exceptions) and kept us in the Championship. I don't see him as an inspiring type, I don't think he'll take us up but promotion is not a priority at Ewood anyway. In any case we'll get yet another inadequate summer recruitment fiasco. Let's remember he's at a club where the CEO said before the season started that the main objective is "to stay in the League". Bit of a different attitude at Ipswich! There are better targets than Eustace. Till they're gone there will be no or little progress

You're right but the 2 games were close together?

Wow! Preston lost their last 5 games! A Play-off opportunity thrown away (I'm happy say).

And Arsenal---in successive games!! 🤢

Norwich don't look to be trying either. A real worry.

And that's why we've conceded the most late goals in the division. Its a weak squad and trying to compete on unequal terms.

£25M? Obviously a better player than Adam Wharton!

If we were able to choose who to play away on the last day, Sunderland would be one of my first picks (as opposed to Rotherham!)

Is there any point thinking of potential signings when we don't know what division we'll be in?

There's always one!!

Its reactive though not pro-active management. We're in trouble, run out of money so issue new share allocation to cover losses. Rinse and repeat. There's no suggestion of advancing money before we're in trouble so that we can progress up the table and avoid future hand-outs, which in reality are already spent before we get them. Nothing is done to actually improve matters, just to rescue them. The Club never goes anywhere but down.

No its not.

or a clue.

We are definitely reliant on 1 of three clubs to lose or draw. Not realistically in our hands.

puncher v flapper! Great.
