    Derby v Portsmouth tomorrow night

    I like fixtures that don’t concern us :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I still hope Pompey get stuffed.

    Been invited down for some hospitality for this. Fancy it to be a watchable game, but probably one for my couch tbh.

    Some tough games for the promotion challengers this weekend.

    Preston v Leeds
    Blackburn v Luton
    Boro v Millwall
    Watford v West Brom
    Norwich v Burnley

    Sheff Utd should batter Plymouth though.

    A win for us would be very nice considering a lot of teams around us will be dropping points.

    That squad has no business being so close to the playoffs. He'll get snapped up soon. Wolves maybe?

    Pleased for Eustace. He was treated badly by Birmingham so nice to for him to show he is a good coach.

    Rohl is a class manager, really impressed with what he's done this season - him and Carrick will be hot properties

    Watford v West Brom
    Norwich v Burnley

    What we thinking? A couple of draws imo but I’d love to see Burnley beat.

    Draws will do us fine , our win yesterday was as crucial as it was spectacular, no team is running away at the top , Sheffield are a bit of a one horse pony, well organised tho' and have been getting the rub of the green lately. its in the balance and all to play for in this crazy league.

    Sheff United and Leeds will both finish 10+ points clear of us imo. They’re just better sides with more depth.

    All about January for me, if we nail it then you just never know

    I do agree they look the 2 stand out teams. Leeds have so many attacking options and Sheff Utd are just so solid and have a few match winners in their ranks

    9 home wins to nil in a row is absolutely ridiculous, they’ll get automatic promotion I have no doubt

    Yep I wasn't sure on their squad depth compared to Leeds and Burnley but I really like quite a few of their players who are top quality at championship level. Be interesting to see how all the squads look after Jan

    We should have got a point there but good teams just find a way to win those close games

    See I’m not convinced

    Leeds are too open. They got broken down too easily, Preston could’ve and should’ve had a couple yesterday. Their attack is winning them games but there’s going to be games it doesn’t save them

    Sheffield United are the opposite, Plymouth battered them yesterday but they’re defensively so solid

    they’re not actually creating a lot of chances and are fighting through games but I can see them drawing a fair few and even getting beat when their strikers are off it, similar to our run

    so it’s definitely all to play for
