No  matter what he says.

 

Those two are as easy as walkovers can be.

barnsley won in midweek to keep their chances alive, they have ll to play for... we might not have if Burnley clinch promotion before Monday nights game. Donny away is tough too. Simmo is right.

Donny's home record this season:

Wins: Shef Weds, Watford, Huddersfield, Charlton, Wigan, QPR, Yeovil, Leicester, Blackburn.

Draws: Barnsley, Middlesboro, Millwall, Forest.

Not exactly pushovers.

Not the best.

Barnsley neither.

Best to go in confident and not introduce any negatives we would have had a go at Cloughie if he had said that.

I detect slight worries in the camp.

Let's go into playoffs positive.

when you say we?...

what on earth would you expect him to say? They are not easy games!

we may well win them easy we may not but winning them will need the work putting in.

There is no easy games in the Championship, and if your players believe there is, that's where they trip up and teams drop points.

Doncaster away is a tough game, as are all games away from home in the Championship.

let's hope Blackpool is then.

They are easy games compared to playing say QPR or Burnley or Wigan or Leicester away etc

Those teams have better players than Donny and Barnsley simples.

The reason we have done so well is because Dyche has drilled into our players the ''one game at a time'' mantra, and stuck by it.

The reason you have done so well is you have good players like Ings on fire all season and Shackell etc.

yes true but also good players don't always make a good side, the spirit and chemistry in the changing room has been the main reason, aided by Dyche's motivational skills.

Not doubting Dyche is a good manager look what he did at Watford pre Zola.

McClaren has motivational skills look where he's taken us too .

If we hadn't had that Hendrick goal disallowed against you lot and gone down to 10 men when Martin slipped we might be closer to Burnley.

That goal was a perfectly good equalizer.

There's loads of easy games. Just why set yourself up for a fall like Forest fans do every year with the 'mind the gap' stuff in September.

Why come across as an arrogant arse when you can be a gentleman with a good public image.

We all expect to beat Donny and Barnsley. Nobody, not Simmo, Mac or any Ram would take a point if it was offered now. And they will go to win.

Doncaster however would probably call it a decent point. Barnsley even more so. Derby are a hard game and although they probably feel like they can win it, first and foremost they'll know they need to perform to get ANYTHING.

I hate the phrase "there are no easy games".

No, nobody will let you beat them. But Doncaster and Barnsley are the exact sort of matches we want if we're to stand even the slightest micro chance of catching Burnley. They're both games we know we can win. At our best we can beat them comfortably. They're as easy as it gets in the league system.

Anything less than a win and we'll be gutted.

But we aren't invincible. We still need to turn up. Only the top PL teams can beat their league rivals at 70%. And they'd still say there's no easy games.

It's called having class.

Class, Billy Davies. It's like glass but begins with the letter 'C'. Like 'Cnut' and 'Classless'. And 'Cunfinished business' .
