I've just been looking at the 'Form Table' over the last 8 games and we are joint first, but with the lowest GD.
Of our upcoming fixtures, I think Wolves next week and AN's PNE at the end of next month are our biggest challenges and I'd take a draw next Tuesday and depending on the injury report on Friday's presser, the game V Derby could be quite tricky.
Cardiff after their storming start have hit a poor run of form and Leeds have stopped the rot after losing 3 in a row.

Sorry, the yellow for 'draws' doesn't show up too well.

I don't think we have to worry about GD. If we're keeping clean sheets we only have to score once to get 3 points. Interestingly we're the only team in the table not to lose a game.

I love this story, a heart-warming antidote to last night's refereeing shambles!

I know I'm cynical, but am I alone in reading this and thinking they have done this expecting freebies/hospitality/online worship?
Maybe the kid has done it out of respect and love for his playing hero, maybe his dad has also thought that he should let his son send £5 to a millionaire footballer cause he played well?
Maybe there is a better less cynical world than I see?
Bah!

Fantastic achievement again by the kids! unfortunately I was at Carrow Road, so missed it. Looking forward to watching it on iplayer.

The youth have done such amazing things. It's a shame they won't get any Premiership chances for their clubs. Interesting to hear Peps Comments about Foden. Sounds like he will give him a chance. I doubt he will, as he's kept sending Roberts on loan to Celtic. Even though he seems total class.

If these players don't play in the Prem, they wont get picked for England, Unless they play for a top 4 side, in which case, it doesn't matter if you haven't started a game all season.

I don't know if you are aware of what has been going on with Mick McCarthy and his post-match rant about Ipswich fans. I know that they are our rivals but you have to feel sorry for them, what an arrogant, pompous idiot!

Some interesting stats on the under 17s and some of them could end up playing for other countries!! We'll see.
