Whoa - mate we are level on points with second place. We have already beaten them away and they are due to come to us. Bamford is a proven goal scorer. Yes, the lack of goals is a concern, as is our current form but remember, this is the championship. Everyone loses games. I know we have eff

Brown has played 10 minutesBit soon to write him off? Otherwise pretty much in agreement though I think we are pretty much certainties for the playoffs.  However, West Brom's form in the last six is pretty much identical to ours and included the cheating from Gayle to get the points at QPR.

True enough. We don’t know whether they tried to sign anyone or not. I think Madine at blades was more to give them a different option off the bench - they can go a bit more route one with him on the pitch. Nailed on to score against us Sent from my iPhone > On 27 Feb 2019, at 17:17, Richard Na

You're right - 10 minutes is no fair trial and I may have had an itchy trigger finger given the frustration that we all must have been under. I was appalled though in the way he acted when he came on albeit for the last 10 mins or so. We were the weaker side, but not by a lot and a fresh set of l
