Bristol's home form is much better than Cov's away - they had won 5 of the last 8 at home (still have after last night) - Cov have only won 2 away in the last 8.

I have no expectation of a win in any game but the point stands, we will win again at some point. The next game is as likely as any. Saturday is naturally a bit different, there will be a full house (or close to) whish will bring a very strange atmosphere given the planned protest - so who knows how the team will react to that.

You know full well that we'll lose 2-1 having taken the lead


Groundhog day.

Middlesbrough and Derby reach an agreement over compo. Derby will survive and get a big boost when the takeover is completed.

Nothing really to suggest their problems are resolved, that said we have the players to keep ourselves up especially with most of the injuries clearing up, just think we're low on confidence, if we can just get a result maybe with a lucky deflection off someone's arse we can get something of a run going.

Because if we don't we're basically relying on Derby going bust and being slightly less shit than Peterborough.

Tomorrow is huge. The game is sold out so plenty of support. Win that and suddenly we can go to Posh with some confidence. They have to find a way to win tomorrow,

Middlesborough's claim was always a bit tenuous; "IF" Derby hadn't got into the play offs then Middlesboro "MIGHT" have got promoted to the riches of the Premier League.......hmmm, yeah right! I suspect that Derby offered them a 6 figure sum to basically go away.

What would be interesting is knowing how whatever compensation was agreed is financed, or, more relevantly, by whom? It could indicate that a new prospective owner is in the shadows.

It seems Mel Morris and Steve Gibson settled it privately. Agree though. It was tenuous. Wycombe is a very different matter and I hope they continue to push their claim.

So despite 7 straight defeats, Derby getting thumped and Peterborough losing at home means, we could go 5 clear of the bottom 3 on Wednesday.

Or be in it.

Anything bar a win takes our fate out of our hands for the first time.

With Posh being 2 points behind us and a game in hand, it hasn't been in our hands for some time.

It has/is, because we still have to play them. Technically it's in our hands but it's also in their hands.

The problem is that we have just lost two winnable games. Derby have two winnable games coming up at home to Posh and Millwall. We have to start winning now as our Match fixtures are very tough.

O Yes, yes Parky is waiting but the price is rising fast we must act quickly Wrexham are now firm playoff candidates and only a few points off the autos they are also only one game away from the FA Trophy Semi-Final. Parky is the only manager to have ever taken an English fourth-tier league club to the final of a major cup competition at Wembley. Still loved by the majority of fans at Reading, Colchester, Bradford, Bolton, and Hull. . Parky and Mad Dog yes, please!

Huddersfield 2 up at Fulham :shock:

Was just thinking the ref is giving everything to Fulham and then awards Huddersfield a dodgy pen.

Good game tho
