After 7 games we have 19 points heading towards a trip to wolves.

How ironic is this that last season we gained our 19th point at wolves in our 22nd game which also happened to be Hyypia's last.

It's ironic because if wolves had not equalised in the 95th minuete of our 22nd game last season then Sami might not have left & we would have definatly been relegated.
As it stands they did score,he did leave,we did survive & hear we are back at wolves on top of the league.

Not ironic at all then and as we gained our 19th point against Rotherham this season whilst last season we gained it against Wolves, not coincidence either.

Point taken gentleman.

I used the word ironic in a loose term to highlight our changing fortunes whilst preparing to play the same team.

Was it ironic that our last game at the goldstone was our first at the Amex.

Not really because the club asked to have Doncaster as the first league match at the Amex
