Normally early to mid December fixtures are dull and uninteresting and it's a right funny couple of weeks before the bonanza Christmas and New Year fixtures but for us Nobbers we welcome the blades with a sizeable following (4K) and an extremely important game which could see us close the gap to 2 points chasing the play-offs or go 8 points adrift. I see Leeds v Norwich and Derby v Villa all affect the top 10 so cracking weekend for the Championship. Barnsley have another tough game away at the bees and really need to start picking up 3 points, come on you tykes.

I see Burnley have the Seagulls away wanting to keep their Champions league slot, unbelievable.

Not so dull and boring weekend so did the Christmas shopping and get on a game this weekend.

Up the Lilywhites!!
