Well that's Leicester promoted.
No. Did you not hear the news? They're getting deducted 30 points in the morning. Bad news for the foxes. Nightmare.

So 2 wins or one and 2 draws and we will be premier league.COYB.
That takes some pressure off tomorrow's game now. Instead of a four point gap weighing heavy (and while a win is what I want) we can put ourselves in a fantastic position.

I didn’t know you’d ever stopped believing mate, I thought you were in my camp.
Well I didn't believe we'd win all Three for sure but now we only actually need one win if we draw the other Two but Two wins will seal the deal.

Of course, tonight’s result weighs heavy on what we do against Hull. Have to say we need to win. Let’s stop f**king around and do it!

Last looked the team required to win every game to be sure of auto promotion while now five points looks enough to make it through. Two wins from 3 games remaining gets us up but there's still work to do. But that score from London has to give everyone connected with the club a lift.

Best guess we really go for it with Hull and while McKenna knows no other way than 4-2-3-1 we have the attacking potential to really provide ourselves a chance. The defense remains a concern, we concede more than we should but the manager will emphasize to the players the necessity of victory not only for Hull but both games thereafter.

Leicester looked f*cked only a short time back, dropping points left and right but they've done enough over the course of a season to arguably justify their promotion. Would be great to finish first position and overtake them by end of season however guessing just about anyone here just wants the automatic promotion places and glory that goes with it.

Woke up this morning, first thing I did was check the score. I steeled myself expecting the worst… couldn’t believe it! I actually gave myself a loony tunes forehead slap. 4-0 for goodness sake. Championship has to be one of the most entertaining leagues in the world. Seems like on any given day, just about any championship team can beat another.

I’ve been buzzing all day… three early mornings coming up.
It’ll be tough away against Hull but I feel confident we can get 5 pts in the next 3. The way this whole season has gone though it really wouldn’t surprise me if it all came down to the final game.

Don’t think my heart will take it, if it comes down to the last game QLD…. Town need to get it over the line over these next two games, I think. Slightly less pressure away from home.

QPR played so well last night , and Leeds had no answer for their intensity and desire to get the point they needed to secure Championship football next season. Of Town show half as much desire / intensity , we’ll do it. The players simply will have no hiding place if they let this opportunity slip. But it’s all about dealing wi5 that pressures isn’t it. Hope they’re better at it than me lol !!! :lol:

Is anyone else hoping for convincing wins for Norwich and West Brom this afternoon or simply not bothered either way.

Yes, it could make a huge difference to Hull’s mentality.

Indeed. Looking at the Saints, losing 1-0 at home to Stoke at half time, we don't want to be relying on anybody else for favours.

Scum are going to fluke a bloody promotion via those PO’s. Saints are a spent force…. Leeds too, tbh. I really don’t want them to win today . Hull will come at us whatever tonight because WBA are throwing a wobbly. Wednesday will probably win that. Fear of relegation is too great.

Norwich 2-1 up in first half added time, but West Brom losing offers a huge incentive to Hull in the lead up to tonight’s game which could end up equally important to both sides. Whilst that’s not my preference it should lead to an attacking open game tonight with a draw more useful to us than to Hull.

With this afternoon’s results as they are Hull could finish 5th or 6th if they do us tonight. Not exactly the incentive I was hoping for when this afternoon’s games kicked off.
Why on earth do teams chasing promotion or play off places struggle so badly to win games.

It’s hard to say really isn’t it … I think momentum is everything this time of the seas9n, and how many times have we seen the team grabbing 6th spot go on to win it …. We were undone by that on 2-3 occasions. WBA losing today is a big blow tbh as Hull will have everything to go for now.

Tbh it’s nip and tuck all the way now,. We just have to show up … that’s it really.

It’s the fear of losing out. Great teams down through the years have a fantastic mental strength…. I’m just praying we have . Lol

I actually kind of like Norwich moving into fifth. Makes the horrific scenario of a Town v Norwich PO semi even more remote

Yes Huddersfield being down is a big help, Coventry now are out of play off contention too so Tuesday looks a little more bearable, plus they had Liam Kitching sent off today who is a good player and won't be available, every little helps. Tonight is without question the hardest of the Three games so a result tonite would be massive but the fact Hull have to win will help us, they need to go for it and we will be a handful going forward.

I’m pleased for Colchester and have a soft spot for them. As it happens they didn’t even need today’s draw to escape. Let’s hope they can rebuild.
