    Never a free kick and never a yellow.

    Not sure how much of them you've seen of them this season but it's been like this for a while. Relying on individual quality to win them games which due to their squad has happened most games, but when they lose their 1v1 battles it looks like this. Slow, ponderous football.

    Who’d of thought, tension at the top is immense, they’re all making a pigs ear of it.
    West Brom will be the same tomorrow and we have to take advantage of it.

    Great result for Plymouth. The pressure is getting to the top 3.

    Not taken much notice mate. I didnt fancy their manager at all, but results made me look daft. Problem tonight was coaching, not players. Until 85 mins there was nothing about their play that is hard to combat. Even in the last 5 it was more down to urgency than plans.

    Stoke and Birmingham both in serious trouble now ...

    ... big promises from the owners and loads of arrogance.

    Ha'way the Lads!

    Frail mentality, the quality has obviously been there all season. Fears of the coach leaking onto the players?

    Madness that someone’s going to be on 90+ points and be in the play offs, I think it’ll be Leicester and I wouldn’t back them to win them either

    Their fans haven't been happy all season but opposition fans have been saying how can you complain when being top etc. But if I had to watch that football week in, week out i'd be bored stiff even if results are going our way.

    I wouldn't back any of the 'big 3' to win in the playoffs. Ipswich maybe but if they draw Norwich they won't win.

    I fancy West Brom to do it, really like their manager and they have a fairly good record against the top sides this year

    Watched them a lot and was impressed at the start of the season but after a handful of games they became so predictable. At the start of the season dewsbury-hall was unreal but if you stop him, you stop them. Midfield is so 1 paced and i dont really rate their wingers

    Theyd be better keeping their fullbacks wide, always looking to bring them inside makes them so much easier to play against. Stay narrow against leicester n you have a great chance of beating them
