    When will the day come when a manager, club/clubs just take their team off the pitch until the EFL do something about the cheating bastards, I can’t see anything happening until someone does.

    The pundits should be hanging their heads in shame tbh ..

    ... saying 'he gave the referee a decision to make' was the very best excuse they could make <laugh>

    You could say that not having a big lad upfront has been a blessing in disguise because we've had no choice other than playing like peak Barcelona if we want to win games. Our identity has been forced on us to an extent but it's a great one to have.

    After that second goal a Liverpool mate texted ... 'WOW!'

    That's quite a compliment.

    Top quality football and we either do that or get close to doing that in almost every game, it's a matter of routine at this point. Great stuff. We have our off days of course like any team but not many.

    Just had a quick look, but it looks to me that Watford are mathematically out of the running for the playoffs...could be wrong tho

    What is worrying for me is if anyone on here really thinks we are going to have a more exciting season in the premiership ( if and when we go up) than the season we’ve just had or going to have next season?

    Fifth top scorers in the Championship Nacho, not bad for a newly promoted team with no centre forward for the majority of the season and the horrendous injuries we have had to manage.

    It's irrelevant, just enjoy what's in front of you ...

    ... we never thought we'd top beating Wycombe at Wembley, we just did.

    It does, no one else is in better form.

    In the last five Blackburn haven't won, Millwall have won one and lost three, West Brom have lost two, Coventry have won two.

    We're better than them all and have better fixtures imo.

    Can’t argue with that reply mate. I really hope if we mange to go up we don’t try to change the way we play just to stop up, I would rather carry on playing the football we do and just write the season off but have the extra dosh.<laugh>

    Yes. The lad has improved by the game and got a really good contact in the first half that hit their defender. He'll be tired tonight!

    We've lost fewer games than Boro, Sheff Utd and Burnley in the last five games.

    We've won more than Coventry and Boro.

    We've scored more, this season, than Luton and Coventry.

    All of which means ...

    ... f**k all <laugh>

    I had similar from a Liverpool mate, 'cracking goal from Sunderland'
    He's also a Barnsley fan, so took it with a pinch of salt.

    Spot on. We should just enjoy the next match and see what happens. Watford are mental and anything could happen. But we could even lose to them and still make top six it's so bonkers at the moment.
