    Ridiculously tight that one. Would’ve been interesting to see the VAR call if it was in place…

    Tbf I didn't see your initial post I just saw Cam mention the Leeds game.

    It's really good though that weve only had one standout game where we didn't really deserve a point, but got one. You could argue a couple of others, Leeds closest simply because they threw the game haha

    No team can do the double over us this season we can with Hull, Swansea, Cardiff, Sheff w, Oxford and Norwich to play.

    That's a very good point, nice that we've already done Boro, Portsmouth and Luton.

    In follow up to the no one can do the double over the lads and who they have done the double over. Is there many teams they haven't beat once over the two matches? Plymouth off the top of me head who else?

    Here's a dilemma. Do I watch the game in the very quiet hotel bar or go into Bridgend and watch it in a pub there.

    For anyone that hasn't been to Bridgend, it's twined with Beruit and the Gaza Strip

    Edit. Can I add that if I stay at the hotel the beer will be free

    Monday night in Bridgend will probably be as quiet as the hotel tbh ...

    ... if I went there'd no doubt be half a dozen Mags and load of exiles from Leeds working in the turnip plantations.

    As the expression goes you you take goals even off your arse , we got ours of their keeper arsing up - a goal is a goal irrespective of how you get it .

    Another one that took 4 points aswell. My thoughts were there won't be many, could check the results list but think I'd lose track just looking through from start to finish <laugh>

    Just looked and as far as I can see it's only Plymouth and Watford so far. With Leeds, QPR, Preston, Coventry, West Brom, Bristol, Milwall and Blackburn who we have to play again after drawing in first match!

    5 of them were in November where we drew 5 of 6 matches!

    I don't think it's related to our possible finishing position tbh ...

    ... just a bit of fun about how much we've improved from last year.
