Extremely tough game and the type we don't do well in, our record against the better sides is dreadful but so is norwichs at least. I'd be happy with a draw providing we beat Bolton next week as Leeds are playing Norwich so we will at least gain on one if we do. Not the end of the world if we...
Basham suspended is a big loss for us with the way we play as we don't have a like for like although I'm not sure there is one about anyway. Wigan are in terrible form and realistically we need to be getting 3 points here to maintain our promotion challenge.

A 3pm game, forgot what they were, this is our first one since november 3rd. On to the game itself Considering our record so far against bottom half teams I'd really like to think we will win this one, Ipswich have had a torrid season so far and although they won last week, it was against a team...
I expect a cracking game here with both teams going all out for it and some genuine good quality play as well.

We won't ever get a chance again to destroy them as much as next friday, their defence is an absolute shambles and to be honest their entire club is in a bit of a mess at the minute. However they do actually have some very good players, but for some reason a few of them don't even get in the...
Tough away game on Saturday but in all honestly it's got to that stage where everyone's focus in this city is about the game next friday. Our record against the top teams away hasn't been very good since we came back up and needs to change if we want to compete at the top.

International break over. A very tough return to proceedings for us. I expect the same team again for the 5th consecutive game, I reckon a low scoring affair going 1-0 either way so I'll have to predict to us with a 63rd minute winner from mcgoldrick to take us back top after the earlier...
Unchanged team for the 4th consecutive game for us. On paper you'd have it as a home banker but I think it will be tight, with us edging it late on to go top.

Very tough game with the start Blackburn have made, unbeaten in 25 home games too. But we ain't doing too bad ourselves either, we seem to be leaking a few too many but were scoring enough at the minute thankfully. Hopefully we stick with the same team.

If wilder carries on going on about the fact Preston played a day earlier in midweek I might personally chin him, were 8 games into the fucking season get on with it ffs. God help you Chris if you ever manage a club in Europe. Anyway onto the game, well it's safe to say we got away with a point...
Looking at the league table you'd say home win, but I think Birmingham are much better than the position they are in, very tough game imo. Hopefully fleck is back for us, wilder has said he's will make changes tonight or saturday cos apparently the fixtures are unfair to us because Preston...
Fancy quite a high scoring match here and a pretty good game with both teams fully committed to going for 3 points. Hopefully we can nick it but I'll go for a draw.
Bristol 2v2 sheffield (20,111) (1012 blades).
Absolutely massive game for both teams for 2 completely different reasons. I sense another draw to pretty much put pay to our hopes.
