regards corners we may as well just pass it back into play as quickly as possible and keep the pressure on because we are zero threat when crossing it in.

this is it now then. I really can't see Brentford dropping more than 2 points from their remaining 6 games, only derby away looks particularly tricky from what they have left and the form they are in which would put them on 85 points so with their superior goal difference leaves us needing another 11 points to be pretty much certain. after the draw with Luton we have to look at the home games against Stoke, Barnsley and Charlton as absolute must wins now, that's 9 points leaving us to get a win or 2 draws at Blackburn, Derby or Swansea. gonna be squeaky bum time. nerves could be settled big time with a win tomorrow.

I saw that Lewis Cook was on the bench for Bournemouth the other day. If they go down and we come up, he could be a fantastic partner for Phillips.

Yeah it’s going to be interesting. If only we’d have had a good striker we would have walked the league. The draw vs Luton doesn’t leave us with much room for error now with Brentford’s fixtures

Not being funny but only Leeds fans could say we’ve not got much room for error now when top of the division. Leeds will do it.

True. Ghosts of last year remain however

Agreed, let’s hope the players are less scarred than the fans...

At least the floodlights cannot get blamed for any glorious misses tomorrow

Absolutely

2 more wins should do it. That would be mean Brentford would have to win each game.

10 points to guarantee it though. the way Brentford are going and looking at their remaining fixtures i can only see them dropping points against Derby. I think WBA have more reason to be nervous as i can see Brentford swapping places with them.
