Norwich manage yet another last minute winner/equaliser after loads of injury time gets added on. Another 7 minutes yesterday. Convenient.

Swings and roundabouts.

Wasnt that convenient for Norwich when Dingle Fletcher scored with his hand, from an offside position - after fouling the goalkeeper!

EFL released a statement saying that they condone the attack on Grealish.   I don’t think the word means what they think it did! Theyve released an updated one and they now condemn it

Here's a scenario. Next season we're 2nd going into the final game of the season. We're 3 points above 3rd and have a +3 goal difference over them. We play them on the final day. Anything better

Are people being serious? If someone had said to me on the way to Doncaster, ‘promotion for Rovers or England win the World Cup’, I’d have assumed the questioner was talking the proverbial!

Villa 1-0 up against Millwall and looking for a tenth straight win, incredible form. If Millwall lose and Rotherham beat Big Club they will be level on points with two to play.

Ya, villa unreal. Weren't we ahead of them at the end of January? Amazing what can happen when you identify weaknesses and sign quality. They needed a centre half so when out and got Mings. He has been a rock for them. Grealish coming back a huge catalyst too. I hope they don't go up though, unless they end up playing Leeds in the final.

Smith took a risk going to Villa, but fair play to him, he's done a great job there. Shows that you don't need a thousand transfer windows to implement your style and philosophy. Now granted Villa had a great team for this division that should never have been so far down the table, but Steve Bruce is no mug and he'd been struggling. Perhaps proof, also, that managers sometimes just naturally come to the end of their shelf lives and need to move on for the good of both parties.

Smith is a really good manager. Shows what a difference that makes...

They were in the playoff final last year and probably have the biggest budget in the league

 

A real rag to riches story!

Not really what he was saying tbf. We had the biggest budget in L1 last season, but that doesn't diminish Mowbray's achievements, right?

Absolutely not - was probably better to reply to yours

I.e. they had the quality squad already so transfer windows are moot and although had a poor start still had the majority of a team/style that got them a game away from promotion - credit Smith for getting the job done obviously but it’s quite a stretch to turn even this into sly Mowbray digs.

Sheff Utd now only 3 points behind Norwich with a better GD

Looks like win or lose we could be deciding who wins the title.

 

Will be a monumental effort from us to get anything there. Would love it.

It actually wasn't a dig specifically at Mowbray, more of the conventional belief that managers need multiple windows before they can be judged. Good ones have an immediate impact, irrespective of budgets or squads. Obviously the impact is relative to the squad available, but still, Mowbray raised our points average as soon as he came in so he improved us from Coyle's tenure despite having no transfer window at all.

CP, how's it gonna feel when Sheff Utd steal the auto promotion spot?

A fellow Yorkshire club no less snatching that dream away. 

Wow, that's gonna hurt.

You got that familiar sinking feeling?! ?

 As for your question mate. I think Leeds will go up with Sheffield United automatically. Norwich were better than us yesterday. No complaints.

You seem extremely confident at beginning of Feb when the table has 5 teams within 7 points.

The picture can change very quickly in the space of 10 days with the midweek fixtures.

We got spanked at West Brom 4-1 then went on a 7 win spell. We got spanked yesterday but it was different. I fully expect a response and another good run. Leeds will win the league.

 

Ah, such fond memories. 

I do love to reminisce. ??
