bcubed Ipswich drew with Derby
They (Ipswich) played well and didn't deserve to lose according to Frank.

But surely too late for them?


To put it in perspective, we are 10 points clear of them. That gap equates to 53% of the points they have picked up this season.

Paul Lambert sounds absolutely mental in his interviews.

"Apart from about 60 seconds of the game, I was delighted with us.

"We started not bad for those couple of minutes, then we lost a goal, but after that it was relentless.

"On Sunday (against Norwich) we lost the game but we never capitulated and we were the better team football-wise.''


And yet the stats show Derby had more shots on target, only one less shot altogether, more possession and also hit the post. They got smashed 3-0 against Norwich. In total denial.

Hound Yeah they need an absolute miracle

Brentford are a weird side. Watched them a couple of months ago and they were an utter shambles. 10 unbeaten now, and a nice bonus win against the stamping tosser and co


They lost on Saturday

Anyone think QPR could get sucked in, since beating Boro lost 7 and 1 draw in 8, next 3 are against teams in the top 6, could easily lose those as well. They probably have an easy run in, but confidence will be rock bottom, and there's nearly always one team who falls into it late in the day, just have a feeling it could be QPR this year.

Tey are on 39 points, pretty unlikely.

No. I can't see any of the bottom 3 pulling back 11 points on them. Anyway following the win over Boro, they won at Forest, best Ipswich at home, drew against us and then Villa.

They've only picked up 1 point this year (from 6 games) but even if such bad form, the gap has only decreased 5 pts in 7 games. If Rotherham closed the gap at the same pace, they would still not get past them.

Yeah they'd basically have to gain no more than about 5 points from the entire rest of the season and have an up tick in form for a couple of the bottom few.

As long as Rotherham don't win I would say it's a good result.

Yep happy if it’s a draw. They say below us on goal difference.

Sure, with a dozen games still to go, and with Rovrums remaining schedule in mind, there'd be calm, measured, positive, and supportive responses. :wink:
