    Boro home to Sheffield Wednesday.

    Not really looking forward to it given our home record and we’ve done well away recently, so that means crap at home?

    we need to win but as importantly Enzo needs to stop being so stubborn and drop Faes and leave Mavididi out, both have been poor for well over a month

    Huge game at Rovrum tomorrow. Win and we are practically safe. Lose or draw and we have a nervy game up at Hudds next weekend that could drag us right back into it.

    Fully expect Leicester to get their arses back in gear and use dropping out of the auto spots as motivation.

    Would not be bothered if we rested the entire squad and played the u23s for this one tbh.

    Watford at home. Decent record against them and the hawthorns has been our reason why we are in the play off shout. Really could do with a win here especially with a few teams not far behind. A win and I would of took 4 points over Easter a few days ago. Kipre went off injured at milwall and no news about him since. Ajayi straight in if he is injured. Yokuslu looked a big sloppy and tired at milwall. Maybe chalobah or mvilla will get a start.

    Not expecting anything, but it would be great if we could put some more pressure on Leeeeeeds.

    If Norwich better our result, I think that's the nail in the coffin.

    A draw at Birmingham wouldn't be the end of the world, but we obviously need as many wins as possible. Hopefully Liam Millar is back.

    Going to be a tough one for us but if we play at our best, we could come away with a win. One more point and play offs confirmed! What a season this has been!

    I don’t know what I’d prefer in the Leicester/Norwich match today. I don’t want to say it but I’d prefer a Norwich win rather than Leicester we’ve got to beat two of the three challengers to Norwich for 6th so, let’s be honest, if we want to win those and be top 2, they’re making the play offs aren’t they…I just don’t want to be playing them there again, 2015 was bad enough

    I'm a pretend Norwich fan untill 2.30pm. Uppa norwich.

    In all seriousness, I will be amazed if we get a result today, but this team always surprises me. Hopefully Norwich do us a big favour so we have less pressure on us to get a result.

    I can't possibly cheer for them lot up the road. 0-0 draw and a mass brawl resulting in as many red cards for either side as possible please :laugh:

    For us, I doubt it's going to be a low scoring game. Hopefully Big Keef has been able to have a rest over the last couple of days after two big shifts last week for Wales and against Blackburn

    Stoke will likely remove themselves from the relegation battle today but I can't see many below them picking up points, at least on paper anyway. But we all know that on paper means nothing in this division and a win for one or two in that bottom 7 could really change the complexion of the relegation battle.

    Whatever happens though, having a full day of Championship football on Sky actually makes this bank holiday worthwhile :D

    I bet Enzo hopes you do too, because I swear I can hear Top’s grindstone. :(:laugh:

    Cardiff seem a Jekyll and Hyde team. I'm hoping they believe they are far enough away from the playoffs and relegation to call it a day. :laugh: Simms & Wright are currently scoring freely which is vital.

    We have a tough run in and although I think Norwich will get the last spot, it would be great to push them all the way.

    Surely, surely, we're due a win?! Need one anyway urgently.

    Tough trip to Sunderland, both teams without a few players and not in great form nor scoring many. Could be a draw but as I said really need to target 3pts to ease bottom 3 pressure.

    What a set piece that is from Norwich.

    Leicester falling apart.

    Yours is probably one I would look at and think "nah, I will leave that one off the coupon" :D
    When I stated that one or two winning could change things, I'd seen your fixture and Birmingham's as a potential for not going as many would expect.

    Really clever. I often say that the Championship doesn't have the quality the PL does but it is safe to say that Forest (and probably most bottom half PL sides) wouldn't be able to come up with and more importantly, execute such a set piece routine.

    Norwich have crumbled a bit in those last 10 mins and Leicester deservedly level and based on the pressure of the last 10 mins, probably should have got their noses in front. Going to need a big half time chat from the Norwich gaffer to avoid Leicester running all over them in the 2nd half
