    Albert's on a reverse psychology approach - leave him to it. He is even deliberately sacrificing his admiittedly non-existent chances in Prediction League and taking one for the lads.
    Think we will win this comfortably - 3-0 for me. How can a team selected from Mens clothing store employees be any good?

    Perhaps we could put them off by asking if they could give Albert a wardrobe makeover right before kick off.

    Just looked at stats. 86 points is usually enough for promotion, 90 points more or less guarantees it.

    If I may, I'd like to recommend a new wardrobe manager. Keith Flint - he's a firestarter! <ok>

    4-0 win.
    Gayle hat trick.
    Apparently clough is going to play a weakened side to save the main players for the weekend.

    Got to the stage now where I don't care how we play as long as it ends with 3 points to us. Reading, Brighton and Huddesfield just won't go away. Looks like Leeds are in a bit of a rut.

    Job done for Brighton.

    Everyone cheering on Norwich tomorrow night. If hudderafield lose it'll be nearly done. 3 wins and all pretty much secure

    Contradiction in terms, there, mate.

    In Rafa We Trust = 4-2-3-1 = 2-1.

    Haha, I know, Rafa knows its a winning formula atm and fair play to him sticking to his guns but I genuinely think we need to be a little more offensive in the run in, back to the old "we will score one more than you" attitude.

    What ever happens I won't moan if we win...

    It wouldn't surprise me if we went 4-1-4-1 tonight with Haydon sitting and Jonjo and Diame ahead. I think that's how we were lined up after Haydon came on in the last game.

    There could be a bit of rotation considering we have 3 games in a week. Maybe Mitro up front? Atsu to start?
