Just like it was on Friday funnily enough. Not sure that result does the skates any favours, gives their manager a stay of execution which is a good thing as we don’t want them getting a new manager bounce.

Skates have lost their best CB for 3 games now too.

They have very tricky looking fixtures for the next few games.

Hull have looked better than I thought they would but haven't been much of a threat.

Coventry have been crap. 

Coventry will win promotion, and it seems the title, in part because the other chasing teams don't seem to want it. The promotion chasing teams keep stuttering and Coventry have been doing enough to grind out wins or draws (except for against us of course). They've been good, but they're not great and that's what makes our early season form so annoying. Had Still picked up even a couple more wins early on then we'd be in the promotion picture, but then we possibly wouldn't have Tonda and we wouldn't be on this wave of form we currently are on and enjoying. All we can do is finish in the play-off spots, try to stay injury free to key players, and win them. We aren't ready for the Premier League at all but it would still be a hell of a ride, and if Arsenal shows us anything, it shows we now know how to compete. Besides, I don't think anyone that gets promoted this season will make Sunderland-style dent in the Prem next season.

Spurs currently in relegation zone on As it stands table! 😆

I'm conflicted because as much as I'd like to see West Ham drop, I think Spurs dropping would be more hilarious. West Ham also seem to be in some decent form in 2026. Leeds and Forest should definitely be worried. Forest have the players on paper to survive, Leeds fight hard. Spurs have 7 games to get their shit together or they are in real trouble - and we all hope they don't. Besides them I'd rather see West Ham go down but I have a suspicion that Leeds could be in trouble, even though they fight hard. Forest probably have the players.

Millwall fans saying they think their team is running out of legs at just the wrong time.

Must admit I haven't been impressed with them at all tonight but we were crap at the Hawthorns too.

Both teams are equally dislikeable. Think Spurs going down would be funnier, though got 12/1 on Leeds being relegated so have conflict of interest.

Adam Armstrong was useless again. Genuinely believe we was one of the main reasons why we were so bad earlier in the season and which idiot thought he'd make a good vice captain?

Still only 5th that’s in our own hands, but down to 4 results outside our control needed to have 2nd in our own hands (if we put a few Wrexham type results together to overhaul Ipswich’s goal difference).

It finishes 0-0 at the Hawthorns. 2 points dropped by Millwall.

If Ipswich lose to Norwich and we beat Derby tomorrow, I will start to believe a bit that the unthinkable could actually happen! But our focus should still be on securing the playoff place.... for now.

TBH I want Ipswich to win tomorrow. We aren't catching them and they're the team I'd least like to face in the playoffs.

Hmmm they don’t have a great run in. 5 out of 7 away. Their home games are Middlesbrough tough one and QPR last day which they should win but Lose tomorrow and if we beat them then the gap is tiny. Obviously we have to keep winning for it to matter and good runs end some time. I have no idea why you’d want a team who are little threat to our position to lose To someone who we could over take, weird logic

Nope, I want them to lose, I want anyone above us to lose, except Coventry.

The logic is that I'd least like to play them in the playoffs. Catching them in six games, when they have a six point head start, a game in hand, a better GD and fair decent form (unbeaten in eight) is massively unlikely and I'd rather punt for the far more likely scenario of having the three worst teams possible in the playoffs.

Wrexham in the SF, home leg second and Boro at Wembley would do me fine.

But if they win tomorrow we’ve got pretty much no chance of second if they lose we win and then we beat them at st Mary’s suddenly that gap is a lot smaller and the pressure is on them.

Weird take. If they lose tomorrow and we win we’re only 3 behind them and still have to play them at home. All to play for

Ipswich are a decent side but Coventry are better and we went to their place and won. So, if we do make the play offs, we shouldn't really fear anyone. It's a 6 point gap now, but if the 2 results go our way tomorrow, it's 3 points with a 6 pointer against them at home still to come, which doesn't look so uncatchable. At the end of the day, we need to just keep winning and try to finish as high as we can. Control the controllables as someone once said!

I know more Spurs fans socially, so more opportunities for banter.. but it's a close call.

2-0 to Ipswich right on HT.

Any faint hopes we had of second place have now evaporated.

Much more fun to have come storming up the table and then win the play off final.

Lots of huff and puff from both teams but very little quality. Norwich dominating the game but don’t look like scoring.

They said the ref didn’t see it but the linesman gave it towards the end of the first half 

Linesmen didn't flag either ...strange.

It's gone. Norwich aren't winning this, and we're not making up 10 points on Ipswich in our last 6 games. Not a chance.
