    Don’t discount Millwall who haven’t got any of the top 10 teams to play.
    Plus I suppose those down west but they’ve got Leeds & Forest.

    Mmm......not looking good at St Andrews but good results at Millwall and WBA.

    Will our pathetic display last night come to haunt us?

    Truth to say no telling which way this is going to go.

    Very few are expecting anything from the Fulham game, but I'm not so sure - a dogged out point is not out of the question.

    Derby next up after that is vital with the jacks playing Leeds and Forest during the same spell.

    That leaves us with our last 2 fixtures against bottom 6 clubs, Boro and Hull. If we're still in the top 6 then, I think we'll get over the line.

    You're right sparks it's getting really tough to call.

    You'll do well to get anything at Fulham tonight as they seem to be playing well. Having said that you somehow seem to pull off big results when not expected so good luck.

    How's the cash out looking after you failed to take my very astute financial advice ?

    The bookies should have already factored in that you're unlikely to win as your priced at 31/10 for tonight. So I see it dropping to just below £100 if that happens. If you can pick up a point it should therefore go slightly up or roughly the same, whereas a win will see it back up to previous levels.

    I'm guessing you'd be happy with a point ?

    Think I'd prefer a Fulham win to keep them keen for their match against WBA next week, but honestly I wish you well and hope you make the play offs.

    I've just put 20 quid on City to win @ 16/5 - will I ever learn? <doh>

    Think you're a bit short...not you personally as I don't know, but the team.

    Might have been tempted at around 9/2 with a punt on the draw as well, cash one out if the profit is enough and then hope for double bubble.

    Will keep an eye on the in running.

    Unsure where to post stuff about today’s games? The threads are becoming mixed.

    So far so good this weekend. Just got to trust that Leeds will put the team of loanees in their place tomorrow & we do the business in the week.

    Didn’t like Harris saying we cannot lose another game and he’ll take 7 out of 9 but can’t lose to Derby. That to me reads like he’s going to be cautious against Derby (which he did but we came unstuck v Charlton & Blackburn) as bad go for a draw at worst and put all his faith in winning last 2 games.

    Derby will be coming down here just like Blackburn and needing to win so he can’t play into their hands again.

    Got to take it to Derby, not sit back and wait for a chance. That may sound a bit reckless when all we really need is a draw to see them off as opposed to them needing a win, but you can't discount the Jacks coming up on the rails nor Millwall who are winning as I write at Hull.

    Hope Leeds do the business tomorrow otherwise we might need need Warnock to throw his game (they're losing at home at the mo to the Wurzels), and Hull to be already down.

    What odds now on managerless Bristol City getting 6th spot?

    Even Millwall and PNE are back in the hunt as well due to our terrible week.

    ps Derby's EFL hearing starts this Monday.

    Results weren't too bad today, just need Leeds to turn that shower down West over.

    Agree that we need to take it to the Snow Queens. Think it's pretty much last chance saloon for them against us.
    Am wondering whether they need South Wales Police to provide an escort down for them together with a snow plough and some kind of amphibious vehicle just to make sure they make it.
    They have a few players missing through suspension and injury I believe, so chances are the weather will become a nightmare of biblical proportions based on recent history.

    Weather forecast not looking good for Tuesday. Absolutely zero snow. They will want a postponement - just in case.

    Back to Paul Simon references - Slip slidin' away.

    Don't do it Sparky. It'd be like being in receipt of blood money if it came off...

    This race for 6th spot is mad.

    It’s up to City now. Got to go for a win on Tuesday. Ward and Glatzel with Tomlin and NML on from the start

    Leeds needed to win today - I have money on Cardiff being promoted at 14/1 and at least I want to see you in the playoffs.

    now I feel ill
