Tonight's result really doesn't matter all that much. I doubt they will win every game. 10 games is a big chunk of the season. It's all to play for. Gonna be plenty of twists and turns.

We can all see what a special goal it is from watching it. We don't need to be fed meaningless stats.

Good win. Bar a 10 minute spell that they had in the first half we were in total control, a very confident and assured display with some great play at times. Just what we needed. Better lineup with a much better balance. Hopefully more of this going forward. COYR

Just want to see an attacking lineup today. We've seen Warne do it before so I hope he goes back to it. We cannot be playing 7 defensive players at pride park.

Needs to stop playing so many defenders at home

Rapidly falling out of love with football

Simply not good enough

Bolton losing 4-1

Blackpool equalised

We were top of the league after the first game of 18/19 season. We played on the Friday night.

This is simply a hunch with nothing tangible to back it up. How you can say this with such certainty is beyond me.

Second in the table don't look too shabby to me

Michael Owen comment

GET IN

As it stands I'm not convinced about us getting promoted automatically. Having said that, it is entirely possible.

Get in

No effort from anyone there to defend

It's been coming

Needs a run of games in the middle of the park

No control of this game whatsoever

Bolton losing

Nothing wrong with the current system in my opinion. At the end of the day there will always be a cut off point for automatic promotion. Its a binary. You're either above the line or below the line. It's a second chance for the 3rd team to gain promotion, everything is in that team's favour and more often than not, the 3rd placed team wins it. If you had the 3rd team straight into the final, somehow I think that just increases the jeopardy. It would be a random game played weeks after the seasons end. In this scenario, the opposition team joining them in the final would surely be more 'ready' for the final given they potentially will have played two games beforehand and will have built up some momentum. If we're looking for fairness, we need more games not less.

But surely that's worse, boiling the entire season down to 1 game?

You can get promotion playing kids if they're good enough. But I tend to think you need a blend regardless.

We'll catch Portsmouth it's Bolton and Peterborough to be wary of
