Watched the Leeds game yesterday, was interesting to see Portsmouth fans leaving with about 2 mins of added time left.

Portsmouth thoroughly deserved the win, their pressing was particularly good.
I think Leeds have been guilty of complacency recently almost as if by beating Sheff Utd they think they'd won the league.

Hopefully Derby can do us a favour on Tuesday night and we can get something from the Burnley game.

Bristol City with an equaliser at Sheffield Utd is the only blot on tonight.

True but no gap closed and another fixture chalked off. Our goal difference will be important

Blackburn playing a 3 4 3 and a triple sub at 65 mins. Takes me back.

Get used to that one Blackburn fans. Like for like subs on the hour, rain or shine, win or lose. Used to boil my **** when he was our manager.

Do all those question marks mean they're in the poo under or is it under review? There's a poem in there somewhere.

Ahh it ain't converted, basically show whether that figure is up or down on last season but you'd have to go on Maguires account to see.

Cov had the pressure off after a poor start to season. Possibly enabled them to play carefree almost. Now the pressure is on, can they and Bristol hang in there?

Watched parts of the game last night. Coventry flattered to deceive a bit, often making the wrong choices and lacking quality in the final third. Sheffield United on the other hand looked more organised and effective. I'm really hoping Coventry are in flatter to deceive mode again when we play them.

They are in PL now, probably not much longer but refers to their time in champo last season. Leicester post loss of £19.4m for their title winning season.

Blimey that’s mental, if they don’t go up this year they are well & truly going to be up the creek without a paddle.

I think the sale of some big players comes after the date the figures account for which will help recover a decent amount of that 60m back this time next year.

Never mind. If the worst comes to the worst I'm sure they'll find a way of writing off enough debts to local businesses and unsecured creditors to keep their own heads above water. Again (ref. Ken Bates circa 2007).

Which won’t matter a jot if they get relegated again !
