Boro 0 Hudds 1 HT.
At three, its Rovers v Stoke, Lashers v Brum and later,
Forest against West Brom.
Bolton v Accy Stanley in League 1, Plymouth v Sunderland looks tasty in that League.

Very professional performance so far from Udders.

Boro are very poor, especially in the final 3rd.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Mon Apr 18, 2022 2:01 pm

Huddersfield have impressed me this season, no real super stars, not spent much, a bunch of mis fits really.

Their manager is doing a sterling job, won lots of games to nil, think they've got the record of clean sheets in the league.

Young coach (39) first job, and his doing well, wouldn't mind him being on our shortlist.

Edit - just gone 2-0 up.
Seems boro have got the jitters at the wrong time, if it stays like this it'll ne no goal or win in 4.

Aye, Rovers will be back in the playoff places if things go right for em.
Hopefully, they'll keep up their current poor form.

Middlesbrough looked slow, clueless and lightweight at the back and toothless upfront

Other than that, they looked a pretty decent team?

He’s been able to get a lot of out of some very average players.

Apart from O’Brien and Sorba Thomas I don’t think they have too much quality in that team. Looks like a great up and coming manager

Reading 3-4 Swansea

Reading are trying to snatch a result with 15mins left

For anybody that played before the noughties take a gander at the pitch for Plymouth v Sunderland and weep. Third tier in April, fabulous.

Not just yet, Readings goal difference is shocking.
If Reading win then yes Derby gone

I stand corrected, the table hadn't updated

Feel for their fans but so glad Derby have gone down. The EFL have protected them for far too long.

South Shields lose in last minute to Whitby.
Buxton beat Matlock.
Take a 12 goal swing in the final game to stop my local lot winning the league, and go up into National League North.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Apr 18, 2022 6:42 pm

Blades go behind. Yet another club that got the 6 game bounce from a new manager and are going back to their level. Wilder did the same at Boro.
Hope we get it but we need a manager first.

Rovers lose.

Good to see, but they are still only 3 points shy of the play-off's, despite their horrendous run of form, so too early to get the bunting out yet.

One saving grace in our current plight has been witnessing Rovers falling from their lofty perch at Christmas too likely now miss out on the top 6 altogether.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Apr 18, 2022 8:01 pm

Blackpool won 6-1 today I note, they'll do well to hold onto Critchley over the summer.

A big win for Joey's Bristol Rovers 3-1 at Port Vale which puts them bang in the mix for an automatic promotion place.

On the plus side some of the teams above them have games in hand

Wouldn't it be good and perfect justice if they missed out on the P/Offs by one goal

in the 96th minute of the last day ...

The joy in thinking of all those gurning simpletons weeping into their pot noodle cartons and necking White Lightning to find oblivion

Absolutely no way there were 30,000 there. I've just watched the Sky Sports highlights, and the place was half empty.

I don't know who released the crowd figures to the press, presumably the club, but there's been a typo somewhere.

Swap the 30 for a 13 ... I would think nearer the mark

sounds similar

3-0 is that a cross or a shot?
WOW.

He should certainly win Championship manager of the year, Forest were bottom when he took over, and in a right old pickle, now he's got them an almost guaranteed PO berth, and given they still have to play Bournemouth an outside shot at automatic.

And all without spending any money as far as I'm aware, just shows that you don't always have to simply throw money at building a decent side.

Its in our paper too at 30,428 ... what a shame 25,000 gurning Blue and White 1/2 shirt simpletons had to watch Stoke nick the points and the Woevers promotion bid skid and hit the A666 Speed humps AGAIN
