The only team that might overtake us is Lincoln. We are by far the best two teams in this league and deserve to get promoted. The chasing pack are not consistent enough to catch us.

Agreed, think Lincoln will go on to win the league if they beat us. Can't see Bolton or anyone below catching either of us.

Do you think whoever wins next weekend wins the league. Next week reminds me of us vs QPR when we got promoted under Warnock, boot is on the other foot now with us being the cultured team vs hoofball. 2-2 draw

Wasn't the time we were at the top with QPR the year we threw it away under Dave Jones and ended up losing to Reading in the play-offs, with Swansea going up? Seem to remember Bywater being our keeper and getting thrashed at home the day it was confirmed we wouldn't be top two. Warnock was QPR's manager I think, the season of Taraabt.

I know it was us and Wolves as top two when Warnock took us up.

We were being accused of playing football under Dave Jones too and being the Jay Bothroyd tea tray.

Avoid defeat and we are still Top - But I think there are more twists and turns going into the last 12 games .
Top 2 from here should both go up - But in what order ???

I don’t think the Lincoln game will define the season.

It’s early March, a lot more twists and turns yet.

I just think that if they beat us, their confidence will go up even more with only 11 games to go.

On the flip side, a win for us would be huge for our chances. Would put us four points clear and end their very long unbeaten run.

So I think this game will have a big say on who wins the league.

Yep, the season we drew 2 all with QPR was Dave Jones' side. Norwich finished second and pushed us out to third, they had a knack of scoring late goals every match. QPR had Tarabt and Neil Warnock was in charge. Same season Bothroyd got an England call up.
