I hope you and Albie have an amazing day and a positive result! Maybe in 60 years time he'll be taking his grandson/daughter. Just to balance it out a bit, I worked in a ticket office many years ago and we were endlessly dealing with hard luck stories to get tickets, no doubt many of them were genuine but we had to have a policy of saying no unless there was proof.

Looks like a packet of Refreshers

Fans and media were so much less reactionary back then, we were relegated the season before, Wallace kept his job and fans shrugged their shoulders and got on with it.

Having further extrapolated this out, due to a loading delay at my last pick up of the night, using the odds for the 8 fixtures and making a 6% adjustment on each game to cover the bookies edge there is roughly a 1 in 35 chance we'll be in the playoffs for certain by 6th March.

Over the next 2 games covering us, Norwich, Preston and Cov, there are 6,561 possible outcomes and 36 of those would result in us making the play-offs on 6th March. I'm on a long break at work, sorry.

Personally I think mocking people's deaths is revolting and I'm glad something is being done about it. £100 is a parking ticket nowadays which isn't disproportionate.

Birmingham are official members of the club

XG is a pile of steaming crap. It doesn't take account of times when a better final ball would have made a goal a virtual certainty and there's an assumption that a high XG will pay off eventually when it's just as likely you'll stop creating so many chances.

There's a lot of people on here that can't deal with disappointment in any measure...... it's bloody embarrassing. We were pretty good last night but for poor officiating, dreadful finishing and 2 deflected goals, we'd have been runaway winners. We bounced back from the 2 November defeats and we'll do it again. 12 games left, 11 against teams we've already beaten.

Birmingham and Cardiff will join the party if we win tonight.

I think the rewards of victory outweigh the damage of defeat. Go and give 'em hell boys!

If Hume had scored the free header against Stoke? Blessing in disguise maybe?

That’s understandable from a neutral’s perspective, the title race will be all but over in their eyes if we win. There’s been plenty of times we’ve been the media darling over the last decade.

If we win we'll be 3 wins less with 12 games to go.

I'm afraid decades of vitriol towards match officials has predictably led to a reduction in the talent pool. We've got exactly what we deserve. I would genuinely like to see a pundit or manager ref a National League dead rubber at the end of a season and maybe an interactive programme on TV where we can ref a game at home.

Refs tend to get noticed when they make mistakes or there are borderline decisions. The former is human and the latter unavoidable. There are plenty on here who were "in line", "2 rows back" or sat on the match ball, who clearly saw the ball hit the player's hand when it in fact hit his chest.

What are we comparing the standard of refereeing to? They get criticized/abused at all levels all over the world.

Another 6 are in our sights this week: Watford Bristol City Birmingham Cardiff Plymouth Blackburn

B+, good content but formatting is all over the place, spaces after commas please, and a lot of errant capital letters.

Better than that, out of the 92, we have the highest PPG, highest goals scored and 3rd lowest concede despite playing 8 games more.

Watford, Cardiff, Plymouth, Swansea and Birmingham are all in danger of joining the list within a week.

Southampton have still got to play 9 of the current top half, Us 8, Leeds and Ipswich both 6.

The last day would be fvcking mental!

It all changes in the summer assuming we go up.

Our record against the current bottom 16 teams is P22 W20 D1 L1, that's bloody ridiculous!
