How the oxf*rd do Barnsley appear to have survived? What a shambles though. They are currently still possibly going down pending Wigan’s appeal.

Biggest bottle job. Forest or Brentford?

Has to be forest. No win in last 6. 10 points from possible 27 since lockdown. Just imploded. To miss out by one goal... you could look back at the game against us at our place or more recently the Chris Martin equaliser deep in injury time just a few games back.

Got to be Forest for me. Brentford weren’t really in with a shout until 2 games to go, which is when they bottled it. Forest should’ve confirmed the play off places a week or two ago.

Brentford were woeful before lockdown and got going again but I think they will be shot to bits.

Swansea vs Fulham final for me. Fulham come out on top.

Agree with this but think tonight will give Swansea the momentum and belief to get the job done.

Ah well Barnsley and Luton stay up, good news for us as we will only need to find one other shit team to finish above next season. Relegation less of a worry now

Point deductions for derby and wednesday next season that will help too.

Get a chance again to go to Luton’s ground, Brentford’s new on if they bottle it. Bournemouth and potentially Watford, Wycombe to, some good new trips lined up.

You may be right. Swansea fans had given up on the play offs. Going into injury time they weren’t going to make it. Suddenly they have done it. No pressure on them from here. It’s a bonus for them. Fair play to Wayne Routledge too. His first goal tonight was high quality.

Yes points deductions elsewhere would be very helpful.

Pretty sure even if every team started on minus points apart from us we would still be in a relegation battle at the end of the season.

Feel bad for them in a way, really torrid time in terms of ownership. Plus it's another local away day off the calendar.

Remember Charlton fans getting upset when several of us suggested they were getting carried away?

I certainly remember making the point about Bolton being 3rd at that point of the season as well.

Pretty uncanny actually.

Chris Hughton in talks with Bristol City. Would be a fantastic appointment for them, just what they need.

I think Luton may well be the surprise package next year with there manager back. could be mid table play off challengers with a few additions. very well organised.

Is Brentford’s new ground still on course to be open for the new season?
