Westwood on the bench. Smithies on the bench.
Would be very happy to see either here next season.

Barnsley have been the story of the Championship this season for me, credit to their coaching staff. Could we emulate them next season? In term of reuslts, I sure hope so. In terms of style, please God no. As you say credit to their coaches for finding a way that suits their players and to get the wins but I'd hate to see us play like that every week.

After defeat at at Norwich, sadly inevitable, we need only to avoid losing to Rotherham to be safe - don’t care how many games they have in hand.

They remind me of old style Wimbledon or John Beck's Cambridge team. They'll be sanding the corners of the pitches next season!

Because ain't it just awful winning games. Walking back along St Andrews Road despondent because even though you're in the play off positions, the team didn't meet the Corinthian ideals you have inside your mind. I will never understand these "I'd rather lose 5-4 and play well than win 1-0" types. Never. We played some bloody awful football under Warnock, but they are some of my happiest memories as we moved from being a bunch of try hards to a team that wins. There's no better feeling than picking up the paper on a Monday morning and checking out the results when your team has won (again).

Rotherham losing is all that mattered. Avoid defeat to them next week and I think we’re good.

These debates always seem to descend into black and white arguments where it is only possible to win playing ugly and playing more attractive football inevitably means losing. That's just not the case. Credit to Barnsley for finding a style that suits them. It's working for them, but it's not the only way to play to get results.

Irrelevant in terms of the relegation fight, or just irrelevant full stop? Both to me.

Forest and Preston probably safe now. Not expecting anything at Norwich tomorrow night, could do with Brentford beating Birmingham and keeping them below Town.
Cardiff probably last chance saloon for play offs tonight, hopefully spurs them on to win at Wednesday, about to kick off so Come on ye Bluebirds of Wales.
Don’t be like your fellow countrymen of Swansea and Wrexham and lose to an injury time goal. !

The problem is, beautiful AND winning football costs hundreds of millions these days. You have to work with what you've got. Squeeze everything out of the talent at your disposal. At the end of the day, is it us or Barnsley fans enjoying this season more?

Re the comment about how teams play etc, honestly I'd be fine with us playing rubbish football 46 times a season but getting promoted than playing well 46 times a season and getting relegated.
You don't get points for playing well.
Particularly at this stage of the season, it's not about performances or the type of football you play, it's just about picking up points, however you get them

If only we'd have signed Bannan for our balding-midget position instead of Pritchard...

If they’ve 3 in hand and only 8 behind that’s a long way from safe for me. Did you follow them in 2000(?) when we went down against all the odds on the last day? Perhaps I’m one of life’s pessimists!

No one took any defender on, no defence splitting pass, just the easy option, keep the ball turn inside, pass backwards, then along the back line then back to keeper. All the time those clappers clapping in my ears. I seriously thought about packing it in. Over and over until we inevitably conceded the second. Every game was exactly the same, no change in tactics, no goals, no points.

Championship is brilliant no game is easy, far more entertaining than the top money league, the football is class but the result is often a forgone conclusion.
