Favourites maybe, not overwhelming. Our away form this season has been pretty good and barring injuries to key players, I think we'll get at least a point.
I was at the Posh v Mboro game today. Can we please sign George Boyd in January. He's an excellent player. One chance, one goal. We can give them Howard, Dyer and £ 1.5m, with a further £ 1m if we ger promoted this year. Didn't think much of Mboro. I think that they will struggle to be in the promotion mix up at the end of the season. Their best player was Adam Johnson.
Garry Parker was at the game, sitting about two rows in front of me. Is he doing some scouting for Villa?

I was not there so cannot comment on the performance.
Fryatt seems to be regularly subbed. I wonder whether he is carrying an injury that we have not been told about.
The idea of bring Dany on may be to do with defenders having tired legs and not wanting to face a player with pace. It seems from what people who were there say that this did not work.
Normally people say about the championship that there is little to choose betwen the teams and anybody can beat anybody. I think this is less true than usual this year. West Brom and Newcastle seem to find it easy to beat teams. The "play-off pack" behind them struggle for their victories. I will be surprised if we or any other team catch Newcastle and West Brom this season.
I expected Middlesborough to be in the top two and Newcastle to be in relegation trouble this season. So well done Newcastle.

As annoyed as I am at seeing us concede a goal in the last minute....we scored one from a rebound last week so it's just one of those things.
Thought we should've been well clear by half time if it weren't for their keeper...second half Scunny were more into the game, dominating possession but not threatening the goal.

He was in the Directors Box for the West Brom game too, and MON said in a recent RL interview that Parker was doing some work for him now

Well seeing as I don't think that we're a side thats quite good enough to go up this year I'd happily see us beat our bitter rivals and not lose to a good Brizzle side....

We're already 4pts clear of 7th place. I can't believe how pessimistic some of fans are!
We're not going to catch WBA or Newcastle, but all we have to do is finish 6th, we have more than a good chance to do this. The league table doesn't lie etc.
We should be aiming for 6th spot. Beating local rivals is all well and good, but they only give you pleasure for a couple of days or a week at most. We have to look at the season as a whole. We are as good a bet as anyone to make the play-offs, in fact the league table currently would have us favourite to do this.

Not being pessimistic am I? Maybe I am. I like what you said, I agree.

Maybe I interpreted it wrong. I thought you were saying you thought we wouldn't make the play-offs, but as far as I can see we are in a better position than anyone else atm.

I think we will make the play-offs yeah, partly down to what we do in January. The effort and most of the results have been outstanding so far, a total breath of fresh air. But at times for me it's a bit like riding a bike when you're drunk, we just seem wobbly and never quite in control even though we're not falling over. But if we carry on like that for the rest of the season and finish in the play-offs then I'm easy.
Cautious not pessimistic is my outlook on LCFC.

I would hazard a guess that the blonde lady on the football league show called us the Tigers rather than the Foxes.
Either that or Uncle Connolly ran out of bud and could only find a pritt stick to placate himself with.

Not this time - I have been watching 'The Football League Show' on BBC1.

Cops threatened to arrest me one night for riding my bike drunk down Fosse road, was wobbling all over the place. I didn't even know it was an offence.
