Bluebird Hewitt Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The Old Testament states that, according to Austin 3:16; 'Thou Lord and Saviour shall be crucified to repent our sins, but thou shall be resurrected and thine will celebrate with bunnies, chocolate eggs and football' Fast forward to 2017 and this tradition is still continued to this day. Yes, I'm bored.

Blackburn lose and Bristol City/Burton get draws/wins, then that's that for them. Blackburn must win to give themselves a chance in the other matches that follow. Forest will be on a high having beaten Huddersfield though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield have well and truly helped to fuck up our season handing Bristol City, Burton and Forest 3 points each in recent weeks when they are going for the play-offs. Hope they don't go up.

However, Blackburn do have one hope in that they have Bristol City at home after Forest. Basically, Easter will most likely define Blackburn's fate........unless Zola finishes the job.

tlr Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Absolutely imperative that we win, regardless of what Burton or Bristol City muster on the same day. Anything less than six points from these next two matches will see us relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Massive weekend for us, if we do our job then by the end of it we could be pretty much up. No Dwight Gayle, I'd like to see Mitrovic start, I thought he was a bit better than Murphy when he came on against Sheffield Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 For our game, I'll be surprised if we get anything at Hillsborough. We got a very good draw at our place earlier in the season, but they played us off the park that day and could have easily won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Orient get relegated this weekend, though probably on Monday and not Friday. I'd say we've finally been put out of our misery with relegation confirmed but the misery will continue whilst the club is in the ownership of Francesco Becchetti. Over 100 years of being in the Football League about to be ended due to severe mismanagement. I should be sad about relegation but I come to accept our fate months ago and since then I've just watched another piece of Orient die with each passing week and my sadness actually comes from the fact that this could be the penultimate game I'll see at Brisbane Road whilst this owner is in charge. As for tomorrow's game we'll lose. I reckon 4-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted April 14, 2017 Administrator Share Posted April 14, 2017 Apparently Wigan came back from 2 0 down to with 3 2 with only 20 mins to go last night. Nick Powell making the difference. Making the relegation picture that bit more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 A massive game for Blackburn. Lose and they'll make survival very hard for themselves, but Win and they've dragged many teams in to the relegation battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Had a little bet on Bolton as with a win they can secure promotion, watch it end in draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Newcastle v Leeds tonight will be the 3rd highest attendance in lower league history. The record is currently 56k in the 1940s by Newcastle, 2nd is 54k by Spurs also in the 1940s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Great win for Blackburn. Wasn't the best advert for Championship football but glad they got the result to make the relegation battle more interesting. I'd would be brilliant if Birmingham went down now. They're right in the mix of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Tonight's game just got a lot bigger with those results. Added pressure on both, more so on Leeds who are in real danger of missing out on the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted April 14, 2017 Administrator Share Posted April 14, 2017 Blackburn win on the day they needed to. Job done. Now repeat for Monday and it pulls Bristol City right back in to it. What a win for Fulham, as well. Now the top scorers in the league and Norwich usually do well against any team at home. Got the win with 10 men as well and makes the play-off fight even more exciting. Imagine if Huddersfied didn't make the play-offs . Not sure if it's even possible for that to happen but after cruising in the top 3 for majority of the season, they seem to be running out of steam.

tlr Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I feel a lot better than I did three hours ago! Not a bad time to score your first goal for a club either. Hopefully Ipswich do us a favour tonight, they could do with a win or else they face getting slightly dragged into the fun too. A win on Monday for us and the last three weeks will be very interesting indeed. In other news, how the fuck Zola continues to be in charge at Birmingham City confuses everybody in Western civilisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlr Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Just read Birmingham players confronted each other after the final whistle both on the pitch and in the dressing room. What an utterly awful six months they've had. 2 wins in 23 for Zola, and the first team not to beat Rotherham in two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
