I will take the points in the bag with a game or two in hand Rich.

Big game Huddersfield Leeds tomorrow. Draw would suit both our teams. If we can get a result at Ipswich we will be just two points behind you.:eek: Think we had a really good transfer window, strengthening in some key positions. Squad was getting very thin with some long term injuries. Biggest problem we have at the moment is our pitch. It is awful with the egg chasers using it. Makes it harder to play our passing game from the back, and it makes for nervy watching.

Good to see Norwood is as crap for you as he was for us. Think we did some good business there.;)

Well done The Terriers, my newly adopted league club team, putting them pesky hoops to sword 👍👏

Richart's a bit quiet 🤔😜
We were robbed !!! Penalty not given, their goal was very dodgy, with scorer going off pitch to stay onside, and then coming back on to score. Disgraceful behaviour.:)

We actually played ok according to reports, as I was expecting a hammering. Handy that Wendies lost and derby only drew. Now need to get something at Brighton, who are probably getting a slightly squeeky bum. Huddersfield best team in the league at present time.

It was never going to be a hammering, it was only 1 of 2 scores I got right in my Super6, but a nice 3 points.

need you to take points off Brighton, dirty Leeds & Wendies will share or take points off each other so hopefully another 3 points against Barnsley will close it all up a bit more for a late push towards the top.

We lost 5-0 at Fulham 4-1 at Brentford 4-1 at Newcastle. We 'do' hammerings. Shame to lose to such a late goal, but play offs have been the aim. Huddersfield's problem is a lack of goals, and not having a 20 goal a season striker. Their midfield is very strong, and they play a good pressing game. They do rely on loan players though, Mooy and Brown especially. can't see they would be able to buy them if they went up. Mooy is probably best midfield player in the division. Newcastle have the best players and fire power, Brighton the best team, but Huddersfield seem to be able to get results against the best teams.

Disappointing today after taking the lead and with Leeds doing Fulham a favour beating Wednesday. Still I'd have taken a draw before kick off and win the game in hand and it means we're only two points behind so it puts pressure on Wednesday to keep winning assuming we do the same. Sadly with Fulham, as Hawkeye will verify, they normally find a way to disappoint and I expect them to repeat the trick again.

Sitting nicely in 3rd but the mighty Terriers should have come away will all 3 points to put pressure on the Magpies after dominating the game so much, however, so many other results helped and has created a small gap now with Reading getting thumped and Dirty Leeds climbing up to 4th. 🐶🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

I thought Brighton looked superb yesterday.
They certainly look able to survive in the Prem if they secure promotion .................... which I really hope they do.
