    With us not playing the derby til Sunday, focus will be on the rest of the league. Full line up of fixtures, who do you think will slip up or get a surprise result?

    Difficult away games for Boro and Derby. Bournemouth against Blackburn will be interesting, I think The Cherries will be too good though. I think Brentford might drop points but can't see Watford giving much away against Leeds. The rest could go wither way. I'd be interested if Forest can continue there good form away at Reading!

    I expect we'll likely be 6th at best come Sunday, and it might well transpire that the loser drops out of the playoffs.

    That's how tight it is to be sure DH. We've done very well to battle up to 5th, but we're still only 1 point away from 7th. Long way to go yet.

    Did someone say; "anyone can beat anyone in this this league"? No result would surprise me but with most of our rivals playing away surely we won't get a repeat of last week when they all won ? <grr>

    With most of the top flight being away something surely will have to give somewhere. Boro are creaking a bit lately and I don't think they will win at Hillsborough. Fulham - Derby is a toss-up and could go any way and Watford would do well to win at a slightly rejuvenated Leeds. Should we win on Sunday I would be hopeful of a favourable looking table coming Sunday teatime. I think that Forest are too far back but could do some damage to others, I would like to see Wolves drop something at Cardiff, possibly all three points.

    Cardiff will beat Wolves ending their playoff hopes.

    8 will become 7

    We just need to take care of our games. This season not one team seems capable of taking top spot out right. I don't know if it's the pressure of what comes with promotion but I'm convinced if we keep stringing results together we'll be looking good come May regardless what others do this weekend

    No argument there Hairy of course and you are right. That said it is always good top have a bit of speculation, it does make the Saturdays more interesting doesn't it?

    True and we'd all feel more comfortable going into Sunday if the others above us slip up.

    You may think that but I could not possibly comment! - Sorry, was watching an old DVD of House of Cards last night and the phase just came to mind.

    Not over-joyed about Leeds starting to look good, still have to visit Elland Road

    Watford have a habit of scoring loads in the second half but hopefully not today.

    Leeds are looking outstanding at the moment. The Binners are very unfortunate to have play them next weekend. Let's hope that by the time we go away to them they'll have nothing to play for... That could be a real banana skin to what otherwise looks a reasonable run in for us.
