If Football matches lasted 80 mins we'd be in a relegation battle biggrin

Another great win. Full credit to the lads, you gotta play til the final whistle. With our attack and formation, i'm always confident we'll score and we've been scoring goals from all areas. We should've won by a few more, but their keeper played very well.

Leeds away next. I'm going and cannot wait. Its become a bit of a grudge match and i'm sure it will be a great atmosphere.

I'd bloody love us to turn them over on their own patch, but they are playing well. Perhaps Lambert might bring in a striker to give us that bit extra for the run in, slightly surprised Leeds didn't bring in anyone in Jan, especially after the cup games, that must've pocketed them at least a mil.

Quietly optomistic about tomorrow. Gonna be a very tough game, be we've risen to the occasion so many times under Lambert.

Massive blow with Barnett being out for the season. Hes been a contender for player of the season, however i've been fairly impressed with Whitbred when hes played. He was out for a long time, but hes come back strong. Lambo has said hes looking to bring in an experienced head in the next week or 2.

Otherwise we're pretty much full strength, looking forward to seeing Surman, the guy is class, just hope he can stay fit for the run in.

Quite happy with a point away at Leeds. Always a tough place to go to and it's now getting quite tight at the top of the table.

What a game. Pretty pleased with a point as Leeds cou;d've been 3-0 up before we had a shot. However, we stuck to our beliefs and played our passing game. Whitbred, Hoolahan and Ruddy were brilliant yesterday. Ruddy rescued a point in the last minute with a great save.

Doncaster at home tonight, their down to around 13 or 14 fit players also on a terrible run having lost 7 games this year alone. They've only managed 1 goal in the last 5 games which was an oggy.

So 3-0 Doncaster tonight then?

I had a feeling this game might be a bit of a banana skin and I was proved right. At least all the teams around us drew so we haven't really lost any ground.

QPR, Cardiff, Swansea all won so we have lost 2 points on each...

Ironic really, perhaps our best chance to get a few goals and we turn in one of our worst performances of the season.

Still, we probably only need around another 20 odd points for a play off spot, still got a good chance for that...

It sure was, if that was Rooney or Drogba, there'd be massive coverage. Ah well, hopefully we dont draw too much attention to ourselves. We're cruising along quite nicely and in an excellent position. Hopefully we can beat Preston and set ourselves up for the massive game against Leicester...

Saw the goals on the League Show. Crofts second is almost a carbon copy of Justin Fashanu's against Liverpool many years ago. I must be getting old, I can't remember the year!!

Without resorting to Google I think it was 1980, I was there as indeed I was yesterday.

Yesterday was one of the best all round performances of the season and we certainly killed the game off second half but ‘that’ goal will live long in the memory. In my 35 years as a season ticket holder it’s up there with

Fash against Liverpool
Hucks against Birmingham
Safri against Newcastle
Steeno against Coventry
Goss against Leeds

Great turn out at the Portaloo yesterday, massive club, huge support etc etc etc

Off to the Walkers tonight, not feeling very confident though. I know we always battle, but Leicester are decent at home. Hopefully its a good game and we can score a couple...

Vassel and Yakubu up front, former England manager Sven the Horny in charge....no match for Holt, Hoolahan and a certain Mr Lambert.

Just goes to show, money can't buy you everything....HOW much did that Leicester team cost compared to ours?

Their spawny late goal means nothing, we spanked them!

Good that Wilbraham got the goal that effectively killed them off too - one in the eye for the moaners who wrote him off before he'd kicked a ball.
That goal alone might prove to be worth his transfer fee many times over.

OTBC!

We were class last night, played so well and dominated the whole second half. The Leicester team has cost a lot more than ours but you cant buy team spirit and belief which is what we have in bundles.

Willie done pretty well last night, won a lot of headers and tracked back well and was a real nuisance (sp?) to them and scored a good goal which was celebrated by the whole team, dunno who was more happier, Willie or the rest of the team for him. Holt and Wes were brilliant as ever.

Brilliant night, great atmosphere...

OTBC...
