How's your maths?

Two winnable home games in hand, over you and the rest of the chasing pack, against the struggling but secure(ish) Coventry and 'Boro. We will be 2 points ahead of you and 1 behind 2nd if those are won. We are the form team in Championship after beating one of the other form teams, Hull, yesterday. Oh and since Eddie Howe took over we have been averaging 2.22 points a game, better than any other team in the league including leaders QPR.

Forest were the in form team when we had 2 games in hand, that should have been winnable. However look whats happened.

games in hand count for nothing, just look at forest. They had 2 games in hand and looked in great form and are now struggling slightly. It's all very close but teams seem to be coming into form and going out of form quickly or the other way round (Leeds, Forest, Leicester). The only thing for sure is that its very tight at the top and its going to be a very exciting end to the season
 
Ah, but you have missed a vital point...

Little Billy is a bottler and always will be.

He isn't playing the games, is he? Our players bottled it. Came off a good run and now everything seems to be impossible. He isnt a bottler, he managed to get Derby into the premiership didn't he? So I think he can do it for us.

Granted you should win those two games in hand, but you never know whos gonna turn up in the Championship, do you?

No he just manages the team, sets them up to play like they do and tells them to cheat like they do.

Isn't a bottler? You've got a short memory. What about you last season? When he was at Preston! Twice!

Cheats? Ok. Please explain to me how we're cheating.

I'm not blaming Davies for our players bottle. The players play the games, and they also lose them. Hes took us on some formidable unbeaten runs. Its all gone up the ******* recently but I'm confident we can pull it back.
 
How ******* funny was it when they tried to play the offside trap from that free kick, and it just landed at Fallons feet with like.. 6 of our players standing unmarked in the middle!.. and then we hit the post XD

Mason looked good tonight, although, we were lucky Swindon are so **** ahah.
Swindon's offside trap was a failure. Bit early to say that, but if Swindon play like that until May they'll be having a Local Derby with Torquay next season..
 
oh, and if any one on here, ever considers going accrington away on a tuesday night ..

don't.
 
how can people want to take over clubs like Watford (no offence intended) but then not want to take over/invest in the huge clubs in this league like Leeds or Forest. Oh well good luck to Watford, hopefully their potential new owner won't be an idiot

Don't think Doughty would want to sell us to be honest mate, he's got quite a rich company and has been a chairman of Umbro so he's bound to have some spare change knocking about that he could invest into our club. He isn't reluctant to do so either, looking at the money we've spent on players in the past couple of years, such as Earnshaw when we just got promoted back to the Championship.

Watford should do well with this takeover, hopefully exciting things are gonna happen for them.
 
Hahahaha...

So, 2 of the directors [Gardner & Todd] who left us in this mess, now want to come back with another master-plan. What a load of rubbish, this is ment to be a new start- I don't want us to be in the same problems as we are now, 2 years down the line.
 
So hope the Bournemouth beat Scumhampton, would really hit home how much Bournemouth have come on.

Cant see Charlton getting anything other than another home defeat this weekend. 2-0 Brentford. Former addicks Charlie Mcdonald and Myles Weston to score. We need to end this slump soon or I seriously fear for relegation, with the teams near the bottom picking up points.
 
Exeter 1-0 up at the moment away to rochdale. would be a good result if we can hold on. jamie curetons 15th of season!
 
Good result and up to 9th! our away form has been a lot better recently just a shame there is quite a big gap seperating play offs. at least argyle lost as well :)

Wouldn't you be wanting us to stay up, or don't you want a derby match next season?
 
I wanted 6 points from our next 2 games before the huge game against Forest but unfortunatley Ipswich had other ideas. It's very rare we keep an clean sheet but even rarer we don't score in a game, especially at home. At least Swansea and Burnley lost and Forest drew, although would have been nice to close gap on Swansea and overtake Norwich and Cardiff, if only probably temporarily. Even more must win game against Sheff U (Leeds rejects) next week
