Fair play to Bournemouth - unlike us they showed a real statement of intent in January and look like reaping the rewards.

Still think we will win it....Bournemouth will have a blip,Sheff Utd are favourites in my opinion seeing as it looks like they are getting over there bad run.
I don't think we'll make the play-offs. I'm drinking out of Reg's glass tonight! |

What a bunch of moaning...
We're three points off top with a game in hand and the biggest GD in the history of English football*. It'd be nice to have the points on the board but we're not exactly out of it. As far as I'm concerned, one result elsewhere going our way each week is plenty. Thank you Franchise for getting something right for once.

Ordinarily...I think most would agree, but these are not ordinary times...don't think anyone knows wtf is going on. |

I'm not so sure they will have a blip Lee. They're doing pretty much what we did last season and we saw it through. We've dropped too many points at home to lower down opposition. That and selling Matt Ritchie is potentially what will cost us going up automatically imo. The other question is have we had a real blip ourselves? Have one of them and like Gnasher said, we might struggle to even make the play offs. What a bunch of moaning...

I know, I know. I'm not sure why I feel so despondent tonight to be honest. |

Bloody hell, Yeovil have lost 11 games to our 6, but are only 1 point behind us. Sometimes it really does pay to just either win or lose rather than draw.

Incredible, innit. Thanks to Donny dropping points we are actually in a better position than before the games kicked off tonight. |

This is where I think we'll just miss out come the end of the season. By my reckoning we've dropped 8 points from games we really should have won - Sheff Utd, Doncaster and Hartlepool at home and Orient away. Whilst by themselves they haven't cost us too much as we're still very much in the mix, what it has done is put pressure on the really tough slate of away fixtures we've got left. Had we picked up a few more points from those games we've dominated but not killed off, then there would be less pressure when we travel to all those sides around us. As it stands I think we'll need to win 3, maybe 4 of the games at Donny, Sheff U, Coventry, Brentford, Tranmere and Yeovil. Certainly not impossible, but maybe made it harder for ourselves than it needed to be. Having said that to be having this discussion at all given the recent turmoil of takeovers, Ritchie's sale and 3 men benches is a testament to the spirit in this squad. Do you think the team under Hart would be unbeaten in 11 given all the goings on? |

Yeah fair play to Bournemouth for over spending more than anyone else in the league. |

I'm a little unconfortable reading the throwaway comments about Bournemouth buying their way out of the league.
Isn't this more or less what we did last year?

I think most people would be sensible about Bournemouth if they hadn't bought Ritchie. Especially for the pittance they got him for.

I was including ourselves in that thanks Dave. Anyway i can take the moral high ground - their losses must be bigger than ours. Nanananana! |
