    Another way of looking at this is from a comment by someone else (can't remember who) along the lines of even if it doesn't seem like we have nothing to play for, we do because of the additional prize money the higher we finish. I don't know the figures, but finishing a couple of places higher may be worth more than the prize money for winning the cup. The business acumen the Pozzos have would surely mean that they would want us to aim to win the cup and finish as high as possible.

    So what do we want the early game result to be?
    A draw or Norwich win?

    As long as we win I doubt it matters.

    But if we don't, I'd like to have seen a draw...

    Norwich are looking chronically unable to keep possession - just passing it anywhere...

    If the score stays the same then Norwich would have to win 3 or win 2 and draw 2 in their last 4 games to overtake us - still unlikely.

    Well the score has changed and put Norwich deeper in the doo-doo.

    Maybe a bit of QSF kidology then? Lull the Baggies into a false sense of security.

    Could well have been - although I would have thought he'd concentrate on trying to win this game & experiment against West Ham.

    Ten minutes for Norwich to rescue it, but they look lost at present.

    The Championship is heading for another thrilling end - Boro on top ahead of Brighton and Burnley, and they play Burnley midweek.

    I suggest that is Norwich down - 4 games to go - Arsenal & Everton away, Man U & us at home.
