Wigan were dire and didn't look like they'd score if they played all weekend.

Having said that, Wednesday were a shadow of the side that won at Newcastle

Is it just me or does the top 6/7 have more chokers than usual?

Derby. Brighton. Our play off record is atrocious and we've managed to come 4th in a three horse race and 7th on the last day. Although our two titles counter that slightly.

It's only really missing Forest and Cardiff. Am I missing anyone?

North Stand bellends seem very pleased with our point today. If they lose at Brentford tomorrow, which is highly possible given Brentford's home performances, it will be a further point gained when we have by all accounts, not played well today.

The only way we'll catch Brighton is if they choke massively and we go on a run of 2011/12 proportions.

It really wouldn't take that much of a turnaround in fortunes, I think we should reassess after the next 2 games considering they are both at home and our home record at last check was still second best.

Half-time Huddersfield 1-1 Leeds.

That's ideal for us, I guess - would take that or a Hudders win.

Best if it stays this way.

A draw would be amazing, followed by a Brighton defeat, but probably a bit too much to hope for. I fear Huddersfield more than Leeds: they are on an amazing run of form and will finish the season very strongly I think.

Both sides are handy. To be honest I wouldn't expect us to finish above them, but you never know.

Huddersfield look a bit like the side we are trying to be, and hopefully will be if we keep progressing like we have this year. Prioritising ball retention, but the movement of the ball is much quicker

If one of them had to win I'd take Huddersfield all day.
Obviously I wanted both to lose, with next option being a 0-0 draw with multiple red cards on each side.

Regardless of what it means for the rest of our season, hoping for a Brentford win later to puncture more media-hyped billy big boys

The dream will be we go into the last game of the season 1pt ahead of Brighton, they beat who they are playing while we are drawing 1-1 with Burton deep into added on time. Brighton mistakenly believe our game has ended and have a premature pitch invasion, then we score a last minute winner to break their little hearts.

Huddersfield look a very good team tbf. if anyone is going to break into the top two it will be them. QPR (A) and Rotherham (A) before they play us. both very winnable
