Just had a look at Barnsley and you're right. Only time I've been over there, we tonked their 10 men... I'd forgotten our hideous Derby record after a few beers. Fuck!

Aye, and in the 80s, society still thought that people couldn't love who they wanted and that Golliwogs were OK. It's 2024. Move on.

2nd. Maybe some will say I'm naive, but for me, if I resign myself to this just being a playoff lottery season, why bother? We're over the shit horrible bogey fixtures, and we're going up.

Dominate a game, hit with a sucker punch. It was almost written against these shitlords, who've just won their cup final, again. I can't wait for their RL owner to liquidate them. That was a robbery. One which hurts, and should hurt everyone representing us tonight, but we're by no means out of the promotion race. Someone said they'd rather see us long ball our way up, like the god awful Barnsley are trying now. Must ask: how's that going for Rotherham since they did it a couple of years back? We go up when we're ready, and when we do, I want us more like Ipswich than any Yorkshire club that has toe-bunged their way up (and stagnated) in recent memory. Tonight was a horrible result, and it fucking hurt - but it was not for lack of trying. As one sided a game as youll see. I still believe, at the end of April, we'll look back at tonight as a footnote as we join Portsmouth in the Championship. Either that, or I'm talking shit and we can employ Mick Fucking McCarthy (are you serious? Christ)

Battered them, theyve had to sit in. Please don't drop off second half, we've got this.

Got a weird feeling this could be the game where Vic finally shows us what he's all about. Only just on my first pint too...

Un fucking believable

Joke ref. Let's get these shithouses beat (all 12 of them)

Awful decision for the free kick, abysmal defending from us for the quickly taken one. We'll be reet...

I love JDB, as many do. But my god he's got so much more to offer when he's coming on in the last 20. Deserved win in the end. Doesn't matter how we get there; we did. Quietly excited for the derby games.

Take a bow Sheehan. Gorgeous ball. Fucking come on!!

Completely left-field selection up top, love it. That is unless we concede the first goal, in which case, booo evatt out.

Big, battling 3 points against another team of horrible shithouses supported by a weak ref. Performance a bit shaky at times but we've done well tonight against a side in form, particularly second half. If you are one of the handful of people who booed Vic as he came on, you are a monumental twat. Absolutely no need. Especially as he then did a great hold up job for half an hour. Arguably did more than Collins tonight, but hey. Lovely goal from Bod. About time! 🙂

Loosely linked to the the M1 and That Thur London chat: The guns of HMS Belfast are pointed at London Gateway services on the M1. https://londonist.com/2015/02/why-do-the-guns-of-hms-belfast-point-at-a-motorway-service-station Can confirm both are outside the congestion charge zone. Phew.

Can you imagine the uproar if Charles got rested instead of Vic? I fully agree with you, btw.

I wondered when the 4 at the back shout would come again. Imagine we did do it. Who sits in front, breaking up play and distributing, i.e. our Rodri, our Rice, our Guimaraes, our Hojberg? I think that's where we'd fall down as none of our current CMs are that kind of player. And christ, imagine how exposed Rico would be without two other CBs. I love the bloke but he surely isn't good enough to be one of two. Its a non-starter, for this season at least.

Red all day, stupid tackle. I thought he'd got over that nonsense. Miracle we're only 1 down at HT, that was a disaster. Says a lot about how good Northampton are that they've not scored 3 or 4. Ridden it out ... keep the faith we can get back in this.

Glad Evatt has called out our fanbase for howling bloody murder during the difficult period of the 2nd half. If that was an away game, there would be grumbles, sure, but I'm certain there would be more supportive noises than whatever that mob lynching was. How are the players supposed to reset and focus with thousands of their own "fans" screaming every decision they make? That cheer for the long ball was up there as one of the most embarrassing moments I've felt as a Wanderer; and that includes the thumping at Accrington. Especially pathetic as said long ball still just gave Barnsley possession.

Why not? Two fairly young players doing well in L1, maybe not ready for the championship but with lots of potential and (or!) a good chance of a sell on fee. And opportunity to develop in L1 further. We saw Bristol try it with GT in the summer (granted with no loan clause) -makes sense in Jan that championship clubs would do similarly. *BTW this transfer window has been ace. Until Collins misses a sitter or the West Brom lad gets megged on his 18 yard box, then they can become Jardel and Cid respectively... Well excited, not gonna lie.

What's a "leaving too"? 😉

Commentators need to be advertising our part in Bradley's development a little more ahead of the loan window shutting tomorrow! Can't help but feel tonnes of pride, even if he's playing for these bastards.

Ha. Having seen the throw in and offside decisions again, I retract saying 4-1 flattered us! Abysmal. Please get out of this league, whites.

Fair comment I suppose. Felt a bit like we were taking the piss when the 4th went in so late, but, I suppose that's the reward we can get when we've invited a press and the opponent is knackered. Not splitting hairs cracking result, all that matters!

Cracking day out, that. Great performance from all, including the subs (as someone said above, it's a 16 man game now, and all played their part). With players starting to come back/through the door, and maybe others perhaps still to be signed, we're looking in a great position for the rest of the season. 4-1 perhaps flattered us but we dominated pretty much all of the game, and importantly, heads stayed calm after conceding. More performances like that, please. Properly chuffed, especially as it's rare I get onto an open terrace and the weather actually behaves! COYW

Horrible game, great result. That could prove vital at the end of the season. Reinforcements definitely needed though.
