Duffy's own goals obviously, but also, our CAPITULATION at Forest, gifting them +3 for their goal difference

Bristol City, too maybe.
Absolutely, had we beaten Brizzle at home, they surely would've been able to get a result against Brum at home.

Forest also beat Newcastle, Reading, Leeds and Huddersfield at home, begging the question of what they were doing down there in the first place

But then we also beat them 3/0.... beating Blackburn twice did them no favours either ..but then it's a light hearted thread..yes?

Blackburn took six points from Newcastle, that's football
If we hadn't been so careless as to beat Birmingham then Zola wouldn't have been sacked and Brum would have probably gone down instead !

Pinching their best defender at the start of the season, although with his record for own goals up there, we may have done them a favour

I think the ref takes more credit than the Albion for that?

If anyone is still upset about the Championship title yesterday, needs to look in today's Metro at the photo of Elliott Bennett.

And Newcastle taking Hanley certainly didn't help either

If I were a Blackburn fan, I'd be pretty miffed about Huddersfield playing a second string 11 against Birmingham a couple of weeks ago.
I get that Wagner wanted to rest his players for the play-offs if it was against a mid-table outfit seeing out the fixture list.

Yeah. I think if anyone is directly culpable then it's Wagner's Huddersfield. He effectively threw a game. That's really not on and he should be made an example of.
It doesn't work like that (relegation hinging on one or two results). Two raisins don't make a curry; other ingredients are necessary. Still . . . . (no smoke without fire; the exception that proves the rule; etc) one can indulge a titter, and even a few of these:
The season is not a sprint, its a:
Ok, OK, I'll get my

The stupid thing about it is after coming under pressure from the FA Wagner played a near full strength team against Cardiff. Not that it did them any good. Surely in hindsight it would have made more sense to have played a strong team against Brum and then rested his key players against mid-table Cardiff the game before the start of the play offs. Maybe I should go into football management. Might apply for the Granada job at the end of their season
