Agreed. Ignoring the highly likely relegation of Rotherham, my 3 preferences for the drop would be (in any old order) - Stoke, Birmingham and Boro.

How could I forget about Birmingham. But I’ve always hated QPR since Wembley. It’s be nice to see it all come full circle. They get relegated while we get promoted.

Birmingham had 27 shots today but none went in.  What a shame! 😀.  Out of the relegation zone only on goal difference.  🤞

It looks like we've managed to sneak another agent in, to try and send Birmingham down. Gary 'Snake' Rowett seems set to take over for the rest of the season.

Last time he went their they were bottom and just lost 8-1 to Bournemouth. The jut missed out on the playoffs  If he's going their they'll be well clear in 5 games.  Unfortunate.

By my count, that'll make him the 6th person to have managed them this season
Eustace > Rooney > Spooner (interim) > Mowbray > Venus (while Mowbray's been on sick leave) > Rowett

Yeah, Rowett will make sure Birmingham are safe. All said and done, he's a good manager - at the very least he can organise a side and make them compete as a unit. 

I'd like to see Stoke relegated anyway (providing we're promoted).

You almost feel sorry for the fans, enduring such a poo show, then I remember their chants and think

Bluenoses away to Leicester today, who had a double-digit lead break on the field at one point, but seem to have imploded in recent weeks. Hopefully they rediscover their form and heap more pressure on on the Bluenoses.

Slight tangent, but I wonder how Bielik will feel should Derby and Birmingham pass each other with them heading down and us heading up. I know it's petty, but his unwillingness to stay and fight for Derby still irritates me.

Yeah we stuck by him through two ACL injuries, and only loaned him to Birmingham so he could secure his World Cup spot for Poland. Thought he would have made a big difference if he came back to us for the second half of last season, but chose to stay on loan with a side with nothing to play for. I lost all respect for him after that.

It may be that we just needed to offset his wages to fit in with EFL strictures or purely to reduce losses.

Suspect it's both tbh. I do think that his wages might have been an issue, but he clearly wasn't keen to stay in any case. Or maybe I'm just being a proper lemon 😂

I think the polish coach had a big influence on him, but I agree he could have played it differently in interviews, even if coming back to us was never a workable option.

Rotherham were relegated last night after a 0-1 defeat at home to Plymouth who, as a result, improved their own chances of avoiding relegation.

Thought I'd have a look at their squad to see if there were any players we might look at if we were to go up.

Remember Sam Nombe, who they signed from Exeter, and who many on here were wanting us to go for last summer?

2 goals and 3 assists in 35 league games (1800+ minutes) this season 😬

Just caught the end og the Norwich / Ipswich game. Norwich hanging on a bit at the end of the game, though in fairness, Ipswich didn't look remotely like they might score. Commentator with an interesting stat though; last player to score a wining goal for Ipswich at Carrow Road was Darren Bent, 16 years ago!
