Campbell should have buried that.

14 games without a clean sheet, I think you're right about Cardiff nicking this 1-0.

Cardiff haven't done anything this half, it would be almost criminal if they nick it.

If we win tomorrow it opens up a six point gap over Cardiff.

Big points dropped for them and chance for us to move 6 clear of them now.

Their next 3 games:

Watford H
Stoke H
Swansea A

Tough run could see them fall away.

URZZZZ Brentford vs Rotherham has been postponed tomorrow and will be played on Tuesday 27th April. This is because of a number of positive COVID 19 tests within the Rotherham squad

Must say that from a scheduling point of view, Rotherham are probably the last team they’d want affected as they have the least number of games played in the league and they’re running out of dates to fit in the games, especially if any games beyond this Saturday are postponed too for them

From our point of view, means we can further close the gap on 2nd though


Their game v Luton in midweek off now too. Their only midweek window is the first week of May.

If they, have one more game postponed, they will likely have to play Tues and Thurs one week to fit them in.

One prediction I will make is I bet our game will be as hard to watch as that. Blimey Huddersfield reminded me of us at times. Defended hard and hoped for a break at the end.

Our last two wins have been an absolute slog. I hope tomorrow is more comfortable.

I'm okay with the scrappy 1-0 wins, after losing 4/5 or whatever it was, just take whatever wins you can get. We need to start getting better wins though, especially if we don't want to lose out at the end of the season on goal difference.

We still have to play 6 out of 7 of the current top 8 so it’s gonna be tough.


We’ve played Bournemouth and Brentford twice. So it’s 5 innit?


Oh yeah right you are.

Have we won 2 in a row before? :wink:

If we keep picking up 1-0 scrappy wins our GD won't matter.

But our GD could yet cost us a place or two

Agree - very surprised how poor Cardiff were last evening. Have no idea how they have gone on the recent good run if they have been playing like that. Perhaps last evening was just an off night but hopefully the tough run ahead will set them back.
