... and then, all of a sudden, the corpse twitched.

I didn’t even know we were playing. I thought it was a 7-45 KO. Nice to have a stress free afternoon in the boozer.

Last day of the season , and Preston fuck us again.

Have to laugh at the Nobbers.

The gurning chump has been potted by WBA.

I was thinking more the Nobbers against Swansea. That fateful day in May.

They can’t say they weren’t told.

Last two matches:

Bristol City: Leeds (A), Preston (H)

Coventry: Luton (A), Middlesbrough (H)

Middlesbrough: Norwich (H), Coventry (A)

Millwall: Swansea (H), Burnley (A)

Rovers: Watford (H), Sheffield Utd (A)

Frustrating that we always seem to pick up form at the very end of season when it's all but too late. We need six points, Millwall need to drop points in one of their remaining games and Coventry have to lose against Luton and draw against Boro on the final day. 

That horrendous five-game losing streak against the likes of Cardiff, Stoke, Derby and Portsmouth is really looking nasty right now, almost unforgivable given that a more pragmatic approach in those games would more than likely have secured valuable points. 

 

Same for Sheffield United and West Brom. Never good to rely on relegation  threatened teams. They tend to wake up at this time of rhe season.

Bottom line. We need a new CEO to court potential American owners.

I feel like he's fallen out with Gueye though - Gueye isn't even trying to win headers today.

Gueye did no pressing whatsoever in the last few minutes when Sunderland had possession around the halfway line. Barely moved a muscle. Ismael's evident liking for Woodrow probably means he gets a contract😬

Probably wrong place but...

...Monday Night club on Radio 5 usually dull as ditchwater but quite interesting at the moment. Talking about Leicester. Chat about younger players who are knowledgeable about tactics/systems etc not wanting to obey Steve Cooper who wanted a little more ‘steel.’ Has moved on to prima donnas or player expectation and control –eg. you have to look after my dog if I come to the club etc.
