Despite being only 4 points off before Leicester, it seems only now people are starting to take notice. Yes we've been inconsistent, at times rubbish and even our own fans were still talking about a relegation battle only a month ago but this League has been poor this season and we've never been far from going on a run into the play-offs. Even Swansea in 15th are only 5 points off, have won a few games recently and have a goal scoring striker. Hell it's unlikely but even Norwich in 16th are in brilliant form and even they're only 8 away. The League is wide open. Even Hull and Milwall and, if they go on a bad run which i don't think they will, even Ipswich can still be caught by teams behind them. We're not all just fighting for the Wrexham spot but for all the play-off spots currently, certainly 3 of them. But being noticed is what makes me, as a fan, a bit uneasy. I feel up until now we've been sneaking up the table under the guise of being mid-table because of the teams on similar points ahead of us. Now the pressure starts to come. Do we have the players to cope with a bit of pressure, with being noticed? The Leicester turnaround suggests we might. That comeback signalled character, belief, unity, and showed that they understand that we have something worth fighting for. I bet they are on cloud 9 right now. We have the better squad on paper, we're in form, and we've now proven we can fight for results. We are very much in the play-off race.

Or Dyche. I now don't think Dyche will last the season. 😀

Tim Sherwood has thrown his hat into tbe ring too. 😁

Well that's excellent. 🙄

Ralph Hassenhuttl now the bookies favourite after Rowatt backed away. I won't lie, I'd feel a bit disappointed if he went there. But to employ the manager that lost 9 nil against them not too long ago... Leicester are funny.

I can't see anything wrong with the system as it is. Just seems like a way for someone to make more money because of more fixtures. Someone is going to get slaughtered in the Prem, such is the gap. If we finish 7th this year, despite trying we probably don't deserve to be in the play offs. Under the new rules, we'd have a chance. When does it end? Top ten? Top half? Play off between a Championship team and the Premier League's 17th team? And yet, I wouldn't be surprised to see it voted in.

Probably one of the dickheads singing 9 nil at half time. Fucking grow up!

Palace's old keeper Guaita may be 39 but he'd have been a better bet surely!

The funny thing is, if it had finished 3-3 we'd still be happy today with the comeback. But to make history and win was just the icing on the cake.

Best hope Peretz doesn't get injured or sent off then. I have never seen Long play and nor do I wish to. Let alone this guy. At least Alex was experienced. We could well have seen Alex's last appearance for us then as he's out of contract in the summer.

There are so many varied line up choices on here i bet it's a headache for Tonda to decide what to do. Go strong and win, he gets plaudits. Go strong and lose, at least he put a strong side out. Rest loads and win, he's a genius. Rest loads and lose, he's a knob and didn't take the cup seriously. 😜 Anyone getting the line up bang on gets a cheap bottle of Sainsbury's Vodka. 🤪

Harsh. But as we're never achieved a 4-3 comeback win before, I'd probably have done the same at 3-3!

Hmm. Personally I think Birmingham will finish higher up in the table than that, and Norwich too. I also think Ipswich will get autos over Coventry. I think Stoke and Watford finish lower, Sheffield United higher. I also, reluctantly, personally think Portsmouth will finish above Leicester and WBA. But then I am no supercomputer and am basing it off recent form and hunches more than anything. I'd take 6th with bells on though.

To be fair, that's how I feel about Saints, apart from 4-0! When we got 5 against Charlton earlier in the season I was very comfortable. We should do that more often. 😄

I think I read an article when we had Still that he said contract negotiations were ongoing. It does need to be sorted by the end of the season though if possible or I think he'll be gone in a summer where we will already need a hefty rebuild, whatever League we're in.
