I'm not worrying about this until after todays game, them beating Norwich is the most important thing for us right now, after that we can hope they bottle the top 2 and lose in the play offs.

Especially given we’ve still got to play them next week whilst they’re in this good form

Goes without saying that we’ll probably have to beat them. Will be tough but we have beaten Leeds, Ipswich and Coventry here and were seconds short of beating Southampton.
The above is said in my glass half full mindset.

I’d be moving Holmes back into the middle and Browne at RWB or Millar there and Holmes out.

Even against Rotherham I didn’t trust Holmes defensively. Against Buchanan and Dembele would be suicidal

Dembele hasn't started for them for ages, been injured for a few months. Buchanan has been playing in central defence, back 3. Dramah and Laird are their regular WBs.

Need to keep Jay Stansfield quiet. See what Fulham do over the summer signing strikers but I think he'd be a decent pick up on a season long loan as reminds me a bit of Cannon in how he can finish.

Good record down there since coming back up, think it's only one loss and that was with Rudd not controlling a football from a backpass. However it's Rowett and they'll be very defensive and low block today so suspect it will be a 1-1.

Nah get them out of this league. Would only make next season more difficult if they're still down here.

To me the best scenario is Leicester, Leeds and Southampton straight back up and Ipswich just miss out and lose McKenna as they will surely drop back down the league a little.

Everton look like they'll go into administration if they get relegated judging by their latest accounts so they could well do a Sunderland.

Those are the general conditions to have a proper go next season anyway.

Why so defeatist? if all goes well, we won't be in this division next season. 😉
 
Rest Brady (who has played very well since Christmas) and bring Millar in, if fit.

Maybe Osmajic for Keane, too.

Mads, Millar, Osmajic, Riis is tantalising a thought.

Away Win btw.
 
We’re at the must win games stage now, just to stay in contention and hope others drop points 🤔

A win today leads to what would be a very important Gentry Day match @ Watford.

I will be there supporting our boys , whatever happens today 👍

Come on you Yellows 🤞🏻
 
I definitely wasn’t criticising Dewsbury-Hall for not shooting five seconds prior to that goal going in.
