I don't think we should to piss about until the fat lady has sung. It's very unlikely now but we should still aim for automatic until it has mathematically gone. Start winning again and see where it takes us.

Attacking bench - Bruce wants this. Me too...

Big night...I'm on lads.

Whilst Fulham's run in does look piss-easy, having SHA and Sunderland as their last two might prove harder than they look if either are still in with a chance of survival. It's still tight down there. A 4 point buffer and superior GD after tonight would be very welcome.

With 11 goals in the last 3 games, they're going to have to find a pretty big bus. They are nice and safe in mid-table. Can't see this being too tricky.

Used to mess up on. I just don't think this side is the same any more. It's hard to get your head round as a fan, but I feel confident we'll go through qpr in the straightforward manner we should.

Would you want to be in Fulhams place? We beat qpr and they are 4 behind us on worse goal difference. Not to mention potentially 8 behind cardiff. And this after the best run in their history. I'll take where we are thanks.

3 of those points will come when we beat them - then only one to catch up as we've already overhauled the goal difference. At some point one of us, Cardiff and Fulham will crack. Hopefully not us and we seem to be peaking at the right time.

Cardiff were always going to win today. We just need to do our job now.

There aren't enough likes for this. Our form is as good as anyone's, and better than most. We've lost once at home. We are still above the amazing Fulham. No reason we cant win tomorrow and go on to take 2nd. We're at least as prepared as any other side.

We are one of the clubs complaining.

Fair enough, but we haven’t been playing as well as a team since he was dropped. (accepting Jack and Albert have been missing too). I think BB will offer more than Whelan or jedi against wolves.

Whelan out is good news. Let's get Thor back - don't really see why he didn't get back in ahead anyway.

Leeds won't be doing us any favours.

Interestingly (possibly...) for our last 7 games, Fulham and us are both home/away on the same match days. Their away form is less stellar than their home form so I can see us gaining ground there. This Saturday would be a major blow to them if we can improve on their result. Whichever way I look at the upcoming games I get Cardiff, Fulham and us all between 89-91 points. Toight as.

Well, whatever happens this is flipping exciting. I'm really enjoying the tussle (for now).

Is that the Fulham team in 4th place, with the 3 teams above them also having 1 or 2 games in hand? Not really "massively destroying" in my book. They're doing well, but have to rely on others throwing away the automatic spots.

2 more please.

Obviously not wanting to jinx this, but if playing the worst team in the league, with them awful at home and us good away, isn't going to be easy - what game is? Adding Jack and Albert coming back and this would be a disaster if we don't win by a couple. We could do with improving our GD a bit as well to take that out of the equation.

I'd keep him on the bench and bring on if (god forbid) needed or (ideally) give him the last 20 to get a bit of match sharpness as we cruise to victory.

Not really. We want to be in the top 2, we need to show top 2 form. And we are there or thereabouts so far.. Our form since the first three games is championship winning and it needs to be because that is what we're trying to do.

Yep - I heard that's already a done deal behind the scenes.
