Given the (unexpected) set of draws last night, I'm guessing none of the teams really fancy promotion.
If nothing else, this is an interesting league to play in where nothing can be taken for granted (which is how football should be, although it's not great for the ticker).
Hopefully we have some our mojo back when we meet a stubborn and (at least against us!) well organised Millwall team.
Now, where's that sofa...

Just goes to show what pressure can do. Of all team sports football is up there at the top for the favourite winning less (compared to other sports such as rugby, baseball, hockey etc).
Blunts were lucky to both not lose and also potentially either have more players booked at the end and/or their captain sent off he grabs the Bristol player by the neck and throws him to the ground - the pile in probably saved him.
Firstly as fans we have no idea whats going on behind the scenes at our club or indeed around the scrambling clubs around us.
Players have other ideas 'tho, as every single one in training knows what they are doing individually & collectively now, for sure.
For me, Farke wont be questioning his teams mentality one little bit but at the end of the day it does not really matter what critics sling his way as he wont really care about fans doubts & opinions, as its just background 'noise' that individual & team focus blacks out.
Good players learn mental toughness & see both sides of it, so they dont let praise or criticism get to them either way - the better players thrive on pressure & become more successful too imo.
Nuffink wrong with fans expressing an opinion as everyone is entitled to their own opinion & we all know thats how it goes following any team playing football - but for me its the test of a team & every individual within it & we are where we are for a reason this season & personally I love a battle as it keeps one positively focused. 👍
Always that little niggle huh mate! Even after all these years it ain?t going nowhere! My take on it (for it?s worthlessness)! I think the players are not as nervous as we think once the ball is kicked, they get it imo from the crowd, they feel it?and we all know about ER and us fans.
One foot wrong, one bad pass or goalkeeper error?.watch out!!! You can almost taste the venom never mind hearing it.
I guess my original post might have come out wrong?
My intention wasn't to have a go at our players (they've been fun to watch gel as a group), it was more just to highlight how tricky it is for any team (including us) to put together a string of solid performances for an entire season.
Glass decidedly half full here!
Sorry, I didn?t mean that! I was in agreement wholeheartedly with you?.then added my thoughts for what they are worth!!
I think the crowd plays a big part in getting the team a little more ?on edge??especially Elland Road
Good win tonight will get a firm message out to the pack! Anything else? I?m keeping clear!!!
Hard to go through a season without losing a game - even the super dominant sides have struggled to do it. In recent times think only Arsenal (20 years ago) and Leverkusen have done it in the league.
Not sure it?s ever been done in England outside the PL.
