    Match Preview;
    No resting this season, as we gear up for our sixth game in twenty days, and our penultimate game of the month. After Saturday's away win against Boro we sit 10th, with 59 points. I reckon we are too far off for a top six finish this year, but to finish in the top ten would be a great achievement considering the departures we've had, and the financial situation we are in. Dykes remains our top scorer, with 10 goals, and Chair is second with 8, but after Saturday, lets try a new tactic...give the ball to Dickie and let him have a pop. That is a goal I have re-watched a few times now, and it makes me smile every time. Which goal, do I hear you ask...well, as you've asked;


    As for Swansea...their disappointing 2-2 draw against bottom of the table Wycombe on Saturday, leaves them 6 points off second place Watford. They poses a dangerous front two in Ayew (15 goals) and Lowe (13 goals). They'll be well aware that with 4 games to go, they still stand a chance of catching up with Watford, but also, a third place finish will line up the team who finish 6th in the playoffs, likely to be Barnsley. They are surely more favourable opposition than Brentford or Bournemouth, particularly considering Swansea lost 3-0 to Bournemouth in March and drew with Brentford and beat Barnsley in January. In fact, they've beaten Barnsley twice already this season.

    Edit: A win will see us get our highest points tally since relegation from the Premiership...surely that indicates a job well done by Warburton and co.

    Enjoy those who are watching and as always...

    ...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

    Karl “We’ve got Karl Connolly You Shag Your Family” Connolly played for them after us.

    They’ve really ****ed it the last few weeks. No real hope of automatic promotion now.

    Didn't realise Connolly was with them after us...cheers.

    Agree they are unlikely to get automatic promotion, but they are playing Norwich next, and they should be motivated to secure 3rd and get Barnsley in the playoffs.

    Well, at the very least we are free from any pressure and can seize the opportunity to **** their heads up as they go into the play offs.

    Substantial Rs victory.

    Cheers Dave.

    If and it's a big if, they relegate or remove the 6 Clubs who have signed up for the ESL, plus the bottom 3 in the PL, and promote the top 9 in the Championship, tonight becomes a must win game for us.

    Does Austin come straight back in or start on the bench? You couldn't drop Dykes now.

    Maybe Dykes could use a rest, then Austin will start, or perhaps he will play them both and rest someone else.

    3-6-1 I suspect with the 2 WBs. Dykes to start and then depending on how we've done over the first 45/60 minutes, time to unleash the Austin.

    I also thought it was a very sensible analysis and well articulated.

    However, the more I read about “the proposal” the more disgusted I am with it.

    I would be embarrassed and upset if “my club” was part of such a “scam”.

    I'm on holiday in Swansea!! Chatting to a local who is a big Swans fan. We were united by our disgust of the Super League!

    Presumably Ball in middle of back 3......
    Uncs & Austin on after 60 minutes...
    No Wallace, presumably picked up a knock on Saturday......

    C'mon Rangers.....

    It's a pity Cameron and de Wijs seem to be injured still. Wallace too. Looks like Ball could be playing CB and Kakay RWB. Don't fancy that defence much, hope they surprise.

    Probably half an eye on who will be here next season with that team. As good as Wallace has been recently, he’s apparently on great money and getting on.

    Uncs at RW worked ok in last couple of games, maybe 2 games in 3 days is a bit much for him.........
