    So the three promoted teams all conceded 4 goals each with only ourselves scoring this weekend.

    Does this mean anything?

    Bl**dy Wolves winning at Bournemouth creating a 5 point gap.

    It’s a cartel. The only strange thing about is that Bournemouth are somehow in the cartel.

    I hear big player rotation as Man Utd at weekend.

    We need a result, a wing & a prayer.

    If we beat them we will be telling ourselves that Wolves will pull away but we can overtake United. I’m going to enjoy the occasion win or lose. Don’t torture yourself!

    Eh? Finishing above Leicester would have had to have been a given. It’s now 15 points to 16th and it’s now only Wolves or bust. It’s been a completely disastrous week for Town.

    Wolves have Everton and Southampton up next, they could quite possibly take 4 points, 6 and I think you’ve gone

    Blimey Yorkie, had West Ham lost we would still have 13 (14 with goal difference ) points to make up.
    It is Wolves or bust.
    Everton are on a good run of form as well.

    To be honest, if you don’t go down this season next will be equally as hard, you’ve not spent wisely and the divide was too great. I find it hard to believe anyone can be enjoying this season, where is Spanish hiding. Talk about supporting your team through good and bad. Bet he’s walking round Spain now with a White Madrid shirt on

    I think next season will be difficult in this division or the championship.

    I can,t honestly see where we can get enough points to stay up.

    Do you think you will keep Farke after you have been promoted?

    No idea about Spanish, hopefully he is OK and just taking a break.

    He would be mortified about the Real shirt, he follows Barcelona.

    Do you mean will Farke be approached or will Leeds replace him. Leeds won’t replace him unless he gets off to a bad start, I’m not convinced he is good enough to coach in the PL as it takes a different kind of coach so I don’t mind if he goes.

    It’s the same as players, do they have what it takes to succeed at the top level, many find the step too great.

    Assuming Leeds go up, they need to better the two other teams going up plus one of the survivors from this season. I can’t look too far ahead, we know it’s a hard division where VAR and decisions favour the big six and where the money teams find ways to flaunt fair play

    Like I said last season, we all want promotion and when we get it we wonder was it really worth it, the PL has been ruined by money and it’s not a fair playing field

    Parachute money means the Championship isn’t fair either, the difference is you need to make it work swiftly, you need to make sure players have relegation wage drops written in too.

    The top 4 are very good this season, WBA and Coventry are doing okay too, Middlesbrough are in a slump, if Ipswich go down, Leicester and Southampton are awful, you should comfortably be top two if you hold on to some key players then you can do it all over again.

    Your coach must realise he has taken you as far as he can, if he stays and gets you back up, I think he’ll be off, no coach wants to have two relegations on his CV

    As for Spanish, he won’t see my Real Madrid comment as he obviously was only around to wind up others when things were going good ;)

    He was sacked by Norwich when he failed miserably after promotion.
