As it currently stands we are the only club chasing the playoffs who control their own destiny

I think you're right. Winning those 3 would get us to 72 points. Luton (86), Porto (83), WBA (75) and Norwich (73) could all get more, but as WBA play Norwich they can't both get maximum points so 72 will be enough. In reality the total needed may well be a bit less as not every other team will win all their games.

I'll be really upset if we miss out to the Portuguese giants

He doesn't suit JDTs two man midfield and JDT stubbornly keeps reverting back to it.

Tugay wouldn't get in his team

U18s W8 D1 L14 -19GD (Most defeats in league)

U21 W8 D2 L14 -10GD (Most defeats in league)

First W19 D6 L16 -2GD (Most defeats in top half)

The main reason I believe for this is the two man midfield system

I'd also have to question the integrety of a league that allows Spuds and West Ham to play their last fixture after they know the result of Rovers and Wolves last games

A vital win to stand any chance of surviving. Fantastic turnaround from 2-0 down. Are you watching first team!!

Ok tipsters I'm going for Los Milos 14/1 and Carefully Selected E/W 66/1

Well done on reaching the final.

That's true but what did our wonderful owners do with our parachute payments?

Kept Kean on , thus squandering it all..On Portuguese players with dodgy deals ....

The last team not to get promoted, Huddersfield got 94.2 Million over 3 yrs

Wonder if they will be getting as upset when they get their 3000 allocation at the 74,310 Old Trafford

With Burnley's promotion each Premier league team receives an extra 2Million quid each next season for 2nd year parachute payments they don't need.. This will increase to 4M if Sheff U go up and 6M if Norwich won the playoffs.

Surely it would make things more competitive if that money was spread around the EFL. You never know it might even save a club from going bust.

Now will always be known as Bad Friday

Spuds u21 1 Man City U21 2

I think the Rovers Spuds game may decide what division we are in next year

Rovers 21's have all but confirmed safety in PL2 Division 1 with that win today. Leicester would have to win all of their games and Rovers lose all of theirs for things to change now.

2 go down so all to play for

3=1 vital win for u21s 

Good first half in a crunch game WHU U21 0 Rovers U21 2 HT

Best player on the pitch was the first half smoke bomb

Wasn't that impressed by either team. A deserved 0-0

I desperately hope that I am wrong but I just can’t see us making the play offs. Having only one point all season from going behind and a zero goal difference at this stage of the season just doesn’t shout resilience and grit, which will be needed to make top six.

However we have the second best home record and 6 of the remaining 10 are at home.

There's genuinely nothing in this league. If you're organised you'll win a lot of games.

People saying Blackpool are the worst team to play at Ewood this season - I'd both their CFs and their LB without even blinking. 

The worst team to play at Ewood was us v Preston

The only 2 times we tested their back up keeper we scored. He didn't have to make a single save.

Gut feeling this would happen, Stoke really on form, Neil got them playing well and they don't fear anyone, and must be buzzing after putting 5 past Sunderland 

Think 2 is to much to come back from

One is too much normally
