Shambolic second half tonight ... ...but given the menshy - we actually finished the game at Derby last weekend with seven academy lads on the pitch ...
The table is pretty mental tbh If we'd held on we'd be 6th, if we'd lost badly (it would have to have been by like 6 goals) then we'd have been 20th. We're 4 points ahead of the cut off for dropping out entirely so probably a good point. Would be nice to finish top 8 but I'd have snatched your arm off for top 24 before it all started.
Think I heard that if we get 1 more point we're guaranteed to progress (it would put us 5 points above the line with 2 games but due to the different combinations of teams playing each other they couldn't all get 11 points etc). As it is, with our goal difference, we're presumably 99% or so likely to go through. Past experience tells me Newcastle will do our best to make that 1% happen. Next game is home to PSV. A reliable source tells me they're the sort of team you should beat at home without breaking a sweat.
