I know I said I'd prefer to be down and winning but from the 'moving on' point of view Camdenite and Ciderup are correct, we need to push on, even if it is a very slow process. A problem we will have is our fans. Most haven't had a taste of adversity yet and while it's something they will have to learn, I don't want to chase the older ones back to their arm chairs, sky and Chelsea/Arsenal shirts on a Saturday afternoon.

It's simple. Build your team around JET and you'll stay up.

If Rotherham remain shit away, they have added pressure of having to win at home to keep pace.

That's easy for a team to play against - attack early, aim for an early goal and then watch the tension build as Rotherham know they have to win. Leading to gaps and counter attacking opportunities.

It's not us older ones you need to worry about WR - a lot of us suffered the early years with Stuart Murdoch and Danny Wilson so we know what it's like to turn up expecting a defeat most weeks. It's those that started coming along with their dads in 2008-09 when we started building a crowd who are now leaving uni and having to buy their own tickets at near adult prices. I'm sure if we can stay in the Championship we would hold onto more of this group than if we were facing Burton, Gillingham or, god forbid, Fleetwood on a Tuesday evening. I fear turning what are now real supporters into casual fans.

I wouldn't read too much into our away form if I was you, under Evans we played 5 away won 1 and drew 1 which wasn't awful and that was without Camp and Broadfoot.

Under Warnock we've played 3 won 1 that being against Wednesday who have one of the best home records in the division and losing to Burnley and Reading (on a Tuesday), better than expected.

Our away record is utterly shit down to Redfearn and his piss poor tactics, Preston and Bolton when we were winning springs to mind.

Don't judge us on those 21 games that useless c*** was in charge for, totally different side now and before to be fair.

Can we not do the JET thing again? He left last summer FFS!
No offence to anybody and I know he split opinion but it ain't half getting boring now, talking about someone else's player all season.

I wish we could join in the debate, but all I can say is that he looks twice the player he was for you last season! (Damn, can't find a scoffing nando's emoticon) .

Other than a couple of fancy turns on a virtually waterlogged pitch at Cardiff we've seen nothing.

There are a couple of our players in those pictures. Definitely Luke Ayling and Scott Wagstaff are in them anyway.

Funnily enough, was just trying to work out who the gatecrashers were.

No issue for me, it's their day off after all and at least none of our lot were pissing in glasses! ;)
If Pack's there, I would imagine big Aden was around as well as those two are joined at the hip!! There would have been a couple of gasheads there but the horses have an exclusion order to avoid getting thumped again. ;)

23 points from our last 26 games (which would be bottom of the league had we not beaten Charlton and Rotherham a couple of weeks ago).

More than half a season of relegation form. Fortunately we were good for two months earlier in the season or else we would be right in the picture.

Longest end to the season ever though.. we've got 10 more games of dull, dull, relegation form dull.

Tomlin was in a club on Sunday going by FB. He was ratted and was letting everyone buy drinks on him, think the slate was over a thousand by the end of the night.

Worth it for that last minute winner though.

Yep, we're done. Thanks everyone.

It's the fans fault though, remember.

Getting closer and closer to joining you guys. Another defeat, this time against 10 men, never looked like scoring. Its fucking pathetic.

Can't see it being anyone else other than the current bottom three, would be amazed if MK Dons somehow pulled back 6 points from you.

Think you can thank Lee Carsley for keeping you up.

What a win though! Was it your lot being brilliant or that Bolton have surrendered?

Couldn't get there was was relying on a shit stream, seemed to be an element of both really.

I reckon we only need 4 points to stay up, I just have no idea where they'll come from.

Blackburn were a very poor side today, and played with 10 men for 40 odd minutes, but we didn't ever look like scoring. We drew their keeper into one save that I can remember. Surely over 9 games we'll get more than 4-5 points, then again we've only picked up 4 points from our last 9 games, and we seem to be getting worse and worse...

If Lee Carsley hadn't had that great 8 game spell where we picked up 19 odd points, we'd be as dead and buried as Bolton right now.

Now, it entirely depends now on MK Dons form for the last few games. If they can put a couple of wins together, and Fulham beat us when we play them, we may well be the 3rd team to go down.
