There is still something to play for! No really there is. There's no trophy, there's no promotion but there is pride...and that pride is winning "the Best of the Rest League".
So Bournemouth, Watford, Boro and Norwich seem to be fighting it out for automatic promotion. Big woop! And Derby, Brentford, Ipswich & Forest are battling for those final two play-off places. Who cares? There's only one thing I care about in the Championship, and that's us winning the Best of the Rest League.
Despite Friday's set back against you know who we should as a club, and as supporters, set ourself the target of finishing 9th. Above Blackburn, above Forest. We were never quite going to make the play-offs this season, but to be the best side not in contention for promotion, that's almost as good. So don't start tailing off, supporting Rochdale, hoping we lose to Fulham or travelling down the M3 to give some Cherries fan your season ticket, get behind the boys because just like the Karate Kid we're the best (of the rest) around.

This is how the table stands at the moment, really tight with just 10 points separating top from bottom going into the run in.
