I don't think too much has changed. I expected Bolton to win this game. Even if we were to lose tomorrow and Bolton win on Saturday we'd still be above them going into four very winnable fixtures against their tougher fixtures. A point or more tomorrow would be fantastic.

Get a point here and Bolton would then need two wins to go above us

Good job the arsenal manager wasn't the aggressor his career would be over and probably be a police investigation 

To be fair I think the crux is that with spend , budget and squad LR is not over performing or setting the world alight , seems a lot of draws and not a great goal difference, I like the bloke but in fairness wasn’t enthused by the football we played under him though short period , lots seem to think warne is only scraping the bare min from our squad and LR would be getting far more but reality is the jury is still out on what LR will achieve as a manager 

I’d be very interested to know what their wage budget is for this season and reckon it would be around the figures you’re quoting for top 6.
However - £23.6m being 14th highest wage bill and £35.9m being 7th highest is frightening!! When Mel was going mad overpaying our wage bill was £45m so not much more. Just shows we’ve got it all on to compete when we do get back to the championship. Hopefully being leaner with a couple of astute signings, clever use of loan market and a couple of academy players able to make the step up at the right time will give us a chance. 

Worry not. They’ll both be resting/protecting players for the play offs by then. 😀

I don't think sitting back on a 1-0 lead is the way Warne wants to play. I think from what we've heard from the man himself it's clear what he wants to do. High energy, high press, attacking football. And I think when we get some younger more 'athletic' players in, we will see that. He's hinted at it a lot this season. 

Wouldn't have been cheaper to blow up his bakery?

I'd hate to see what we would have got if -21 points, transfer embargos, academy decimated, administration and relegation is "getting away with it."
We'd have been laughed at if we stayed down in League One for years and years, but now we look like we may get out in two seasons (an amazing achievement when you look at it objectively), it means we got off lightly.

What constitutes not "getting away with it"? How long are we supposed to stay in the doldrums with Morris long-gone before we can have the temerity to win football games?

The only centre mid we have contracted beyond the summer is Fornah. No doubt 1 or 2 might get a new deal but for me Adams is a must buy this summer.

It can't happen in the long term. I could understand it yesterday re the team we had out.
 

Funny how we talk of ‘investors’ … when nearly all, if not all, are effectively giving the Club money and receive no financial return on it at all- in fact it’s lost.
I wonder how many fans - assuming they were multi millionaires would ‘invest’ in the Club in this manner…
We can slag MM off as much as we do but the fact is he gave the Club millions …yes, it turned out a disaster but he still lost a bundle of cash…

In the last 5 games -
Portsmouth - 13 points (2.6 ppg)
Derby - 12 points (2.4 ppg)
Bolton - 6 points (1.2 ppg)
PBoro - 9 points (1.8 ppg)
Barnsley - 5 points (1 ppg)
It would take a huge swing in form for us to throw this away now. Us & Bolton would have to pretty much swap form.

I'd be happy to make it by 1 goal on goal difference. When we sing how we get there I don't care, I really don't, as long as we get there

On a tangent, but how amusing would it be to see Leicester bottle promotion after being so far ahead and with such a financial advantage over others...

Yes they hold the record along with us.
We've both reached the playoffs a record eight times and only been promoted once each. They've only reached the final once though.
I'd say we're both due a bit of success.

i believe hes waiting to see if we get promotion or not. He wont want to sign owt and be stuck in this crap with us 🤣

Croatia and Belgium are clearly the teams to try and emulate then. 
Although I thought we lost to the eventual champions in the Euros final, my mistake.

You’re not wrong that we’ve fallen at the seemingly more difficult hurdles. But we can only beat what’s in front of us, which we face fine without any significant dramas (since Iceland), and when we’ve come up against tougher opposition, we’ve hit bloody close. 
there’s an alternate timeline somewhere where Saka scored a penalty, and Kane scored a penalty, and we’re now back to back euro and World Cup winners. It’s all such ridiculously fine margins, especially in international tournament football when one bad day, one bad result, means you’re out and essentially have to wait 2 years to pick yourself back up and have another go.
