agree but if we grab second spot then we will all know that we fully deserved it and that the players had to push even harder. bit more rewarding IMO :ayatollah:

Dave Jones said the same thing, after yesterdays game. We are where we are, & we got what we got. Thy shall be done!

We had at least an extra days rest both times we played Leeds, and we didn't complain. I don't think moaning about this solves anything, if fans shouldn't be negative then neither should the players or management.

Exactly - I would've accepted it had it been on the TV, but seeing as it wasn't, I find it a bit strange they played on a Thursday, and certainly annoyed, much like Dave and Macca !

Gents, the season is 43 games old. The Police, Sky and the league decide fixture dates; there is no conspiracy. Ipswich vs Norwich was scheduled for a later day but got scuppered by numerous interest groups (will attach links if demanded but trust me on this).

You have a good manager, an awesome squad and f*cking mental (read: passionate) fans.

Do it for yourselves, don't demean youselves slagging off (mis)fortune.

Preston played later than us on Saturday so f**k it. I do think it's pointless that they played on Thursday but that's life. We'll just get on with it and get our three wins. :ayatollah:
