How unpredictable is this league?

Watford were 1-0 up at home against QPR, having won 10 of 13 at home, and contrived to lost 2-1 in the last 15 mins.

Whisper it quietly, though we felt the same way at the end of the last window and no doubt this is where our nosebleed occurs, but surely we're not going to get a better opportunity to make the top 6.

Tough game for us at QPR on Saturday, they're in decent form just now.

We'll do well to get 3 points there, but got to be winning games like this really.

Not sure how decent QPRs form actually is. Away from home they've put together an impressive run of results to keep their heads above water, but at Loftus Road their results have been poor.

Impressive recent wins at Watford, Cardiff, Luton and a draw at Norwich good results.

But at home:

Lost 1-0 to Derby

Lost 2-0 to Fulham (cup)

Lost 2-0 to Swansea

Drew 0-0 with Stoke

Lost 1-0 to Reading

Lost 2-1 to Bristol City

Their last home win was back in November v Rotherham. Since then 6 games, 5 defeats and only 1 goal.

I'm glad they won last night as it should take pressure off them for Saturday. But Loftus Road away is an ideal fixture at this moment in time.

BCD games have thrown up some strange results. My local team, Rochdale, have won 5 games away yet only 1 at home.

But more importantly, give them confidence.

Very impressive to score 9 goals in 3 league games last month and only have 2 points to show for it. They managed a 4-4 at the Valley amidst all that too! It would be interesting to know just how much 'home advantage' at all levels is diminished by lack of crowds.

I don't think home advantage counts for much these days.

Sheff Wed doing us a favour. What has happened to Bournemouth, manager must be on borrowed time.

[rovers11]

Bournemouth currently losing. Plenty of time left in that match but a big, big opportunity for us if they drop points.

Won’t get a better chance at the minute. 

[Blue blood]

Watford lost last night. Norwich drew again. Bournemouth losing (albeit a way to go.) Shows there is nothing a competent team and manager should fear in this division. Yes no easy games but equally all games are ones you feel you could get something from. 

Also Bournemouth and Watford's squads show the huge difference a quality manager makes. Both very good squads on paper but both quite beatable too. 

It's the hope that kills you... 

[simongarnerisgod]

the only really good side in the division are swansea,not seen anything else that makes me think we can`t beat them,reading looked good but i think that was mowbray`s fault in trying to press a counter attacking team,it`s there for the taking,come on rovers

He'll be out if they lose that one I'd think

Thank you Jordan!

Rhodes scores in last minute against Bournemouth

[rovers11]

We're firmly back in play off contention. Let's not blow it this time. 

[Tormund]

Rhodesy!!

[JHRover]

Who the hell do Sheffield Wednesday think they are? Don't they know that Bournemouth were in the PL last season and have an expensive squad?
