    Back to normal for your boys then Dave!

    Looks like Luton will have to settle for the play-offs.

    Probably bottle it...

    I do like the way they managed to halt Leyton Orient's six match losing streak today. At home too... <laugh>

    A two horse race I'd say - and Chelsea are probably panicking, knowing that they still have us to play... <whistle>

    Yes - how about we go there and nick a 1-0 with ex Spurs favourite Gomes playing a blinder.

    ;)

    Chelsea do still have to face Everton away...

    Mind you Spurs have Man U/Arsenal and West Ham...

    Brighton are pretty much up now - well done to them.

    Newcastle having a wobble.

    As for ex Watford people.

    Connor Smith has been promoted with Plymouth

    Slav looks like leading Fulham to the play-off.

    As for Zola - oh dear - lost at home to Burton with Dyer scoring.

    If it weren't for the fact that they have to play Plymouth, I'd back Colchester to overhaul them.

    I wouldn't back against Stevenage winning the play-offs though.

    If they continue to wobble, Huddersfield could possibly overtake them & snatch the second promotion spot - and Jonathon Hogg could be in the Premiership.

    Can't believe that Lloyd Doyley has only managed 3 appearances for Colchester.

    Me neither - he had a lot of trouble finding a home there too, having had a few knock-backs by other lower-league clubs. Strange really.

    I wonder what he's done in the way of his coaching badges - have him as the new U23 coach, and also have him registered as a player which would solve an issue over a home-grown player. Also, working regularly with someone who played for us for so long after coming through the system, could give the youngsters "a he did it, so can I" mentality. His problem might be the senior players who turn out for the U23s.

    I wonder if the loss of Jack Wilshere with a hairline fracture of his leg could see Bournemouth dragged back into the relegation fight.

    Half time: Norwich 2-0 Brighton.

    The home side are ahead at half-time thanks to two Alex Pritchard shots, both of which came off the woodwork, hit Brighton keeper David Stockdale in the back and gone into the goal.

    How often has that happened?

    Chelsea and Spurs looked a world away from the likes of us in their match earlier - they probably are I guess!

    Find it difficult to get enthusiastic about a team winning the English FA Cup semi Final without one British player in either the starting 11 or the 3 used subs.
