    What is it with home form...

    I bet TM is tearing out what hair he has left!

    Our big crowd means away teams raise their form, but intimidates the home side?

    Today our smaller defenders could not defy gravity and we conceded two headers!

    Playing away and teams coming at us, suits our counter attack. When we're at home, teams sit back and we struggle to break them down. That's where we've missed Stewart the most.

    Be interesting to see how we approach it, wonder if internally we’re thinking the play offs could be a bridge too far? We looked leggy at times today, Chance to see the likes of lihadji from the off? That being said these lads will run through brick walls so anything is possible

    rubbish till the end christ why at home ? Mowbray cannot motivate this team at home, pathetic. Neil would have got us up.

    Right. Insanely good point. Gives so many permutations. If I'm reading it right, if we win next week and Coventry lose, we go above them on goals scored.

    You could have squeezed in a winner at the very least!

    Mate, You've been one of the highlights of my season. The dedication to the cause is quite spectacular. Fair play.

    Gave it a really good go over the course of the season. Home form really a critical blow to confirming top 6 chances.

    Home form is 100% down to our counter attacking strength not being as useful at home.

    When we have a proper striker it will be fine again.

    I know it’s counter intuitive but I don’t think West Brom can affect us at all now.

    the only way we can go up is if we win next week, and if we win next week they can’t catch us anyway.

    unless they get like a 5 goal swing above whatever we win by

    Bloody Robert's man. Back to checking the fixtures and where points can be won and lost. I firmly believe if we beat Preston we will get there. Great comeback lads.
