After being 0-2 up Norwich draw 2-2 at Sheffield Wed and Coventry lose to Southampton.
I’m We’ve had a very good night.
A win tomorrow would show a massive gap between us and the wannabes.
We are both points and goal difference (worth an extra point) with 4 to 5 games to go.
I’ve never understood the panic on here by some.
We’re rubbish but not as rubbish as the other pretenders.
I agree, except for the rubbish bit Mick. I see a team working really hard in a tough unforgiving league. It’s squeaky bum time for everybody. Brilliant league.
We are playing rubbish and certainly would not fancy our chances in the second leg away if we get there! If we don’t start on the front foot tomorrow against a very very s hit Rotherham and with Fellows starting something is very wrong! Bench for Wallace as out of form!
A very good set of results for us tonight.
I have not seen any panic by Albion fans, just a realistic understanding of the reality of the situation. Nothing is ever certain until you have crossed the finishing line. Many have found that out before now.
Only on Saturday you were pointing out the darkness that awaits us.
Thats normally my job on here.
Best leaving the doom mongering to an expert OB!
If I ain’t worried then nobody should be.
A win against Rotherham puts us 9 points clear of 7th place or 8 points clear if Hull won their game in hand.
Given our better goal difference this would then mean EVERY club from 7th and below would need to win at least 3 of their last 5 matches in in some case win 3 and draw 1 out of 5 games whilst we lose all 4 of our then remaining matches.
This is beyond unlikely, you have more chance of seeing Lord Lucan riding naked up Cradley Heath High Street on Shergar!
Beat Rotherham and Sunderland and all of the rest are close to requiring snookers to get ahead of us.
I’m feeling unusually sanguine about our next 5 matches ahead of us losing the play off semi against whoever.
My post on Saturday does not indicate panic my behalf. It was a view of what I consider a realistic take on on a situation as it was then.
But you are right, following last nights games we are in a very good place and therefore will leave the doom and gloom predictions to you.
Anyway, I have no wish to see Lord Lucan naked or otherwise to be Frank, I guess I’d hear him before I saw him as skeletons tend to rattle around a little, so I definitely turn my head away.
Looking forward to the three points tonight.
Would be great to secure a play off place as quickly as mathematically possible. Then get some youngsters run out for any dead rubber games.
Rest and refit for the first teamers, then onwards and upwards.
