Royal Ginger Huddersfield known for their bestiality? I thought that was mainly reserved for the Welsh. Teabaggers could have worked.

Our gr8 m8s in Leeds call them the dog botherers.

Psychologically, that could throw a massive spanner in the works for Brighton. That will be a bitter pill to swallow, particularly when you take their recent bottle job exploits into account.

I'm not sure - it might, but then they have a fairly comfortable run in - esp the home games. I'd be surprised if it isn't Brighton and Newcastle in the top 2 to be honest - esp if Newcastle come away from Huddersfield with at least a point.

Massive game now that one - would hope the effort of playing Brighton and then Huddersfield away in quick succession will tire Newcastle out for their visit to us.

I think if they get a positive result against Huddersfield, they'd be less concerned about losing to us. Looking at the three away fixtures, they would have seen our game as the one where a loss is least damaging due to our defeats to Hudders and Brighton all but ruling us out of automatic promotion.

Feasibly I'm still holding onto hope but at this point we'd probably have to win every game just to be in with a shot I reckon.

Can Birmingham do us a favour tonight? I doubt it but here's hoping!

I quite fancy seeing Zola sacked - he seems a bit of a twat

Bloody Chris Wood. Annoyingly good player, could do with him getting injured or suspended or something

Birmingham seem to be dominating, so maybe there's hope.

EDIT: Ha, they scored as I posted.

Literally Leeds first attack of the half. Not watching any more, too depressing

Oh well. Didn't realise so many of the top 8 were playing each other tomorrow. A win vs wolves really would be a huge result

If Brighton choke from here then you know they are not going to win the playoffs!

Hope so. Big games for us on Tuesday.

Fulham vs Leeds
Reading vs Newcastle

If Fulham beat Leeds and Newcastle meet expectations by beating us, I think we're in real trouble when it comes to making the POs (still be a very good season). If Leeds beat Fulham and we can get a point, we're looking more secure. Everyone else is basically out of it now.
