Your probably right - I’d had a fair amount of Cider when I watched the game - just remember us not even keeping the ball at all - but then playing a bit for 5 mins when Dave came on and looking a lot better - Norwich was much better 

Did you manage to get a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the concourse?

His favourite sandwich was actually called a Fools gold - it was a full Italian loaf with a pound bacon , peanut butter and Jam - and I mean a pound of each - he sometimes flew his own plane across state just to get one from a particular restaurant

What a performer.

I watched an interesting documentary where his entourage basically said to his manager... you've killed him...worked him to death...sad end for a brilliant man.

Makes u wonder because any side in this division will not be able to compete in the prem, is it even worth going up? 

BHA

Watford

Wolves 

Palace

Leicester 

Burnley

Bournemouth 

These might disagree with you.

Yes that’s true - when he died his manger who took 50 percent of his earnings throughout his career said “ this changes nothing” he signed him up to ridiculously long engagements in Vegas - two shows a day for months on end all because he was a degenerate gambler and owed the casinos loads of money - very sad ..

Just how poor is it. 

 

Even with players out and players not fully fit coming back from injury we have got close to the play offs.

 

So frustrating that we had that spell prior to Bruce coming in where I was more worried about relegation than promotion.

 

With a good manager we could have been right up there this season even missing some of our best players for the majority of the year.

 

Obviously pleased with the win today and our good run but I am massively frustrated about the stupid decisions and tactics which cost us any chance earlier in the season.

Said it all along, it's been poor for a good few years now and we have missed 2 golden chances to go up.

If only we had another 5 games I would back us for the play offs but sadly the games are running out for this season.

It’s a league where any team can beat another regardless of size, how much they’ve spent or current form. It contains some of the biggest clubs in British football who would be giants in most foreign top flights. It’s so competitive that some clubs relegated to it can’t deal with how tough it is. This league is one of the greatest in European football and the administrators of all the top European leagues would love to have the draw of the championship. To say it’s poor is absolutely nonsense.

Could not agree more. Just look at the Brentford game today. A very modest team on paper played Leeds off the ark with commitment, passion and team spirit. It was sensational to see them going forward playing little five yard give and go's. I just love the Championship for that. Every team can beat every other team on their day. In contrast, the top six of the prem is pretty much nailed on before a ball is even kicked.

Potentially massive pressure on Bruce now for next season. If the Pigs start showing any signs of staying up and we are anything other than top 6 the vultures will start circling. 

 

Only problem is I can't see that we have a Plan B should Bruce fail.

What do you mean by plan B and do other clubs plan for a manager failing ?

Plan B you say ?

Great song by Those Dexys Midnight Runners lads ..

Quite an irony you mention this in a thread already dedicated to Queen "B" sides ..

It was however an "A" side ..

The "B" side to Plan B was the Famous  "Floor Filler" "Soul Finger"  nonetheless it's  not a "Plan B" but nor is "Plan B" a B.......

Good question though Brother 

I'm glad you asked it .....

Makes you wonder why we didn’t go at them the other week like we did against Norwich...

 

Absolutely... rueing our lost opportunities v West Brom twice, Villa, Leeds, Norwich... been a season of a lot of margins not going our way. It was always a stretch making the infamous squeak / play offs this season and as it looks, being able to finish 7th or 8th is amazing consider what a dire state we were left in due to CC and JL. Just hoping we'll pull through summer unscathed and be a serious contender for promotion next season!

I mean if we're still in the same position we are in now in 12 months time what situation will we potentially find ourselves in? 

 

Will we be even more fooked FFP wise? I genuinely don't know.
