4 games unbeaten was to good to be true.
Heard we played pretty well first half.
Wasn't expecting much this week, but disappointing all the same.

by NickisBHAFC Wed 08 Mar 2017, 7:45 pm

Not a superb performance, but 3 vital points none the less. Cracking stadium Rotherham have, shame its gonna be league one football for them next season.

Neil has gone. Should of happened months ago

Only Norwich will sack a manager five months too late after he's ruined the season completely - two and a half hours after letting him have his weekly press conference where they allowed him to talk about plans for the summer

Honestly the issue at our club goes higher than the manager - Neil obviously needed to go, but that doesn't solve issue here

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 10 Mar 2017, 6:38 pm

This will all be demonstrated when they appoint caretaker boss Alan Irvine after he wins a few games in our upcoming easy fixtures

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 10 Mar 2017, 7:02 pm

Pretty ashamed of how the club have handled this - allowing him to do a press conference where he is talking about summer plans, literally hours before you fire him. Disrespectful, a shambles, he deserved better despite how this season has gone.

Hodgson or Rowett please - we need our defence sorting, they can do it.

Pardew apparently

Norwich will be top of the championship next Xmas & end up seventh in May. The Pardew way.

Great performance and result against Derby last night, everyone looked back to there best. In particular Kayal.

Derby tactics were very strange, but that's not the problem there. They have recruited poorly over the last few seasons, they have a bunch of big time charlies, who turn up and don't play as a team in the slightest. No team spirit at all and its a shame for there supporters that they rock up and see there side get embarrassed.

Be nice if Brentford can get a goal in the second half against Huddersfield.

by Guest Sat 11 Mar 2017, 4:14 pm

basically undoing all the good work from those brighton/huddersfield away games today. wish all our remaining games were away from home, because at st. james', we're abysmally bad.

Rafa looks very one dimensional at present

by westisbest Sun 12 Mar 2017, 8:20 am

Another win and clean sheet.
Left it late for the play offs though.

by Fernando Sun 12 Mar 2017, 8:39 pm

McClaren sacked again

by NickisBHAFC Sun 12 Mar 2017, 9:31 pm

Feel a bit sorry for the bloke, he isn't the problem at Derby. Like a lot of clubs, its there stupid recruitment policy.

Derby were absolutely pathetic opposition on Friday night.

by GSC Mon 13 Mar 2017, 6:06 pm

If you had odds on the weekends derby being Rowett vs Warburton, can I have a new car

by NickisBHAFC Fri 17 Mar 2017, 10:08 pm

Bristol city!!!!! Excellent stuff.

Looks like neither Newcastle or Brighton want to win the title

by westisbest Sun 19 Mar 2017, 10:38 am

Hopefully keep it going next week against Norwich

Disappointing result and performance away at Leeds on Saturday. But not the end of the world at all, if anything we have come out better than we did before the weekend started!

Just got to keep matching Huddersfield results.

by westisbest Sat 01 Apr 2017, 5:01 pm

Another win and clean sheet.
Edging closer to the play offs.
10 points from 6th, with 21 points to play for.

A shame we had that blip at the start of the year, otherwise we may have made it.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 01 Apr 2017, 5:27 pm

We are in for a very rough week or two...Huddersfield, Fulham, Reading, Brighton all upcoming - and quite frankly we are not good enough to beat any of them...

by NickisBHAFC Sat 01 Apr 2017, 10:17 pm

were on our wayyyyyyyyyyy

THANK YOU BURTON!!!!!

by westisbest Tue 04 Apr 2017, 10:00 pm

Our late push for play offs continue.
Another clean sheet.
Kodjia on target again.
Some signing.

Remember going to Bristol City away, being in the bars after and the city fans saying he will be rubbish. Hmm, bet they wouldn't mind him now.

Burton away Saturday, be a tough game, but hopefully continue this form.

by NickisBHAFC Tue 04 Apr 2017, 11:55 pm

Were on ourrrrrr wayyyyyyyy

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 08 Apr 2017, 3:49 pm

Remember that season we were absolutely awful but beat reading 1000-1

by Guest Sat 08 Apr 2017, 5:32 pm

What a crazy decision to get rid of Gary Rowett and replace him with the "big name" former player Zola, with the dreadful managerial record, at Birmingham City. If Blackburn weren't performing so badly Birmingham would have a good chance of getting relegated. I hope Burton avoid relegation, they are making a fight of it, despite having the least resources.

by westisbest Sat 08 Apr 2017, 5:36 pm

I think it's between Blackburn and Burton for the final spot.
Think Wigan will join Rotherham

Would love to see the Blues go down, not saying that just cos I'm a villa fan.
Their run under Zola is appalling.
They have Bristol City and Burton to play yet.
Ourselves
Huddersfield
Rotherham
Would like to see Burton, B City and Forest stay up.

by GSC Sat 08 Apr 2017, 5:37 pm

You're welcome Nick

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 08 Apr 2017, 5:46 pm

Tough to see Blackburn overturning a 4 point deficit with 5 games left tbh

by GSC Sat 08 Apr 2017, 6:01 pm

They play us on Friday.

Be surprised if you don't take the title now, we're god awful & have been like that since xmas

by NickisBHAFC Sat 08 Apr 2017, 7:59 pm

Forest and Sheffield Wednesday you beauties!

Win Friday and that is that. What a fantastic weekend for this fantastic football club.

Anthony Knockaert - Championship Player of the Year

by westisbest Mon 10 Apr 2017, 9:21 am

Manager of the season

Clough (if Burton stay up)
Wagner (surprised a few with H'Field being where they are)
Stam (same as above)

Apart from spending 180 minutes in Paul Dummett's pocket, he probably deserves it.

by GSC Mon 10 Apr 2017, 9:52 pm

I thought he might be what Mahrez turned into in the PL. But never made the grade.

by NickisBHAFC Tue 11 Apr 2017, 9:12 am

Another chance.

by Driver Thu 13 Apr 2017, 2:20 pm

I'm not so sure why but i can see Huddersfield slipping up against Preston tomorrow. There a decent side Preston when they want to be.

I think that means us and Brighton will be promoted on Monday providing we win both our games. Title is Brightons now though.

by NickisBHAFC Thu 13 Apr 2017, 5:38 pm

From a selfish point of view, I hope its done on Monday. I'm missing the trip to Wolves due to work commitments so don't want to miss out on the celebrations.

by Guest Fri 14 Apr 2017, 5:55 pm

It would make a great story if Birmingham were relegated. Fighting for a place in the playoffs, change manager, drop like a stone, relegated. It is still possible, with Blackburn and Bristol City winning today. I just hope minnows Burton Albion avoid relegation.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 14 Apr 2017, 6:12 pm

Fulham are a very decent side - dangerous if they make the top 6

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 14 Apr 2017, 6:56 pm

Burton Albion-Ipswich is now a huge clash following Blackburn and Bristol's wins today....

by NickisBHAFC Fri 14 Apr 2017, 8:54 pm

Anthony Knockheart proving again why he is the best player in this league. What an awesome win.

ONE MORE WIN!!!!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 14 Apr 2017, 9:34 pm

Will be good in many ways to have Brighton up. Whilst they don't add anything in terms of spice or history, they are new and different which is always welcome.

Further to that, I know a lot of people enjoy the away trip.

The Toon was inevitable and not winning that league is kind of funny, but also entirely irrelevant.

Who else do I want up? Fulham play good football, Wednesday have been away too long and would be interesting to see return. Huddersfield probably deserve it, although I fear Wagner's style of play won't be as effective with those players against top teams.

No desire to see Leeds or Reading. Feel like Stam might get the Karanka treatment; without success, his dull football will get fans on his back. I do like that he uses youth and wants players on the ball.

by Guest Fri 14 Apr 2017, 9:41 pm

Sums us up, got nothing up front. Brighton champions now

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 14 Apr 2017, 9:48 pm

I really want Leeds to go up - I like monk and pretty much all their players especially Wood and Jansson.

by westisbest Fri 14 Apr 2017, 10:34 pm

I'd like to see Preston up.
Outside the play offs but can make it.

Have done very well this season.
Another new team to the prem.

Hoping we can get the win tomorrow.
Reading will be hurting from last weekend.

Like to think we can get the w.
