Frustrating, isn’t it. Last three matches, 2 points, should had 9 and we’d be safe. Can’t help thinking that’s our season done. Just hope our off the field issues can be resolved and we can rebuild. Gutted ...
A strange first half in that whereas in he previous 7 games we'd looked solid at the back but toothless up front, today we looked nervous and sloppy at the back, but dangerous up front. Davison and Bonne are raw BUT they both can run behind the defenders which makes such a difference
In the second half we were far worse up front, just hoofing it up front, with Aneke giving away endless free kicks. But it eventually worked! Great flick on and a smart finish
Overall a much better performance. Great to see the Wigan players look so dejected and Paul Cook furious, with the 12 point deduction they're still well in it, and face Fulham on Wednesday - if Fulham win today, they'll still have a chance of automatic promotion thanks to West Brom and Brentford losing, come on Scotty!
About time we scored in injury time instead of conceding. All eyes on events at Hull starting soon. If we do stay up its likely going to be down to a third party's misfortune rather than our own achievement.
However, an unlikely win at Leeds and we're safe.
After Birmingham I thought we were done for, but now we have a chance.
A draw will likely suffice, they'll be at least 3 teams 2 points behind us going into the game with vastly inferior goal difference.
Constantly updating the match thread in the old teletext style to follow the score and then seeing an injury time equaliser is a thing of joy after we have thrown it away so much in injury time ourselves.
That goal may just keep us up, especially if Fulham win today they'll have an outside chance of automatic promotion against Wigan. It was the least we deserved
So Barnsley (43) need to beat Forest and Brentford to catch us. Wigan (46) have to beat Fulham to catch us. If Hull (45) or Luton (45) lose today they can’t catch us. And that’s assuming we lose to Leeds and finish on 48. Even if Hull Luton is a draw (46) they would both have to win their final games to catch us. Hull at Cardiff and Luton home to Blackburn.

If Luton and Hull draw theoretically both could go ahead of us if they both win on Wednesday. Hull away to Cardiff seems unlikely, Luton at home to Blackburn seems more possible

Somehow we live to fight another day. No one can question the commitment and effort of the players. If we don’t get out of this it won’t be down a lack of trying. Quality maybe, particularly up top, but they’re definitely all tryers.
I honestly have no idea what Bowyer should do for team selection on Wednesday. A few players got whacks so his hand might be forced. We have to take our chances up there though. I asked for three more goals from Bonne after he scored at Brentford. He’s scored 2 so far, but realistically could’ve had 4. Took his goal well in the end though and it was no tap in so hopefully when he gets his chance at Leeds he’s feeling sharp, confident and shoots hard, true and without hesitation. Much as it’s crazy to find ourselves in this position, given where Bonne came from, I feel like he is going to be the key man.
I will admit that I too have been hugely frustrated at some of Bonnes finishing but he is getting in those positions to score. He is our main man at the moment and I am right behind him for the last game.

I was pleased with efforts which I thought were way better than previous games.

Imagine if it we had to play Millwall ..........

I want Hull to win - much less likely than Luton to win their last game.
