Thats a good sign, proper Premier league ref, hopefully he can remember how to do his job without VAR to help him.

Watched their goals against Blackburn, despite their reputation for tippy tappy possession based football the goals were very direct, Blackburn did not deal with their height and gave them too much space.

If we stick to our principles we won’t be doing the same.

I think they will try and do a Luton on us. Tactics will be to disrupt the game with niggles, time wasting, injuries and attempting to get our players booked or sent off, I think they will do ANYTHING they can to obtain a draw at least which stacks the odds in their favour for the last game as they are at home Saturday. hope I'm wrong!

Can they be as effective as Luton at it and is their pitch as small?

[Floridared]

Watched the game in full today, I’m impressed how the players work together as a total TEAM.
No egos or players just looking for a payday, fast moving one touch penetrating football and defending as a unit. Celebrations are made to a man showing togetherness , even Cafu got a kiss from Surridge, who I think is a better player than Davis and he is ours!
If we miss out on the autos we still have the play off lottery and the other teams fans will be saying “ I hope we don’t get Forest”
COYR.

Would anybody be surprised if KD was named a sub on Tuesday? SC likes to throw a wobbler in now and again and Scotty dog Parker would not have legislated for that?

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

Same eleven again surely.

[ac_vodka]

Agree with Sniffer - be nice if KD was available from the bench.

[RyanR]

No doubt in my mind that it’ll be the same 11. Cooper has these boys following every instruction to the letter. Fantastic combination of defensive discipline and threat going forwards. Davis off the bench would be a welcome addition, but hopefully we won’t need him.

Worth noting we have a 1 goal lead on GD so any victory would extend that lead to 3. In the event we then beat Hull, Bournemouth would then have to beat Millwall by 4 minimum. Not impossible but worth considering.

A 2 goal win would extend that lead to 5 and surely make that gap too much to overcome as long as we beat Hull.

A draw means we'd need Bournemouth to lose at home to Millwall on the final day as well as beating Hull. Not really much hope of that given they'd only need a point but Millwall is still a good fixture in that scenario I guess. GD wouldn't be a factor.

Loss and Bournemouth are up and we'd be focusing on resting players on Saturday to prepare for the playoffs
