Yes it’s a shame we’ve lost that extra layer of insurance, but as many have said in this thread, if we can’t beat an on holiday Bournemouth at home when our lives depend on it then we don’t deserve to stay up.

The thread moves fast so it's largely a venting space, apart from a few who weirdly get joy from their club and fellow supporters suffering so they can act dead not arsed online. These guys will be at the very least in their 40s

As we all know the tactics are completely different for shutting up shop and playing on the counter away from home as they are to having to take the game on open up and win at home.
That’s the position Leeds and Leicester are in now, they both wasted their chances to do what we did at Brighton and take pole position. Leicester cowardly so, Leeds just incompetently so.
They’ve now left themselves having to beat two of the better counterattacking teams in the league at home. They can’t afford to sit back, both of them have to come out and play and as we’ve seen when they do that they normally concede a lot.
It’s not a comfortable position for us by any stretch but you wouldn’t swap it for either of their positions. Imagine this place if w head to go into the final fixture needing to beat Spurs or West Ham at home, knowing that Leicester had Bournemouth at home and a win would mean your game didn’t matter anyway. The majority on here would have us relegated already.

For going into League 1?
2008-2009 season
our final game was away to fulham, we won 2-0. This was 6 days before the FA Cup final v Chelsea
this is the team we played against fulham
Saha - started the fa cup final
Cahill - started the fa cup final
Pienaar - started the fa cup final
Osman - started the fa cup final
Rodwell
Neville - started the fa cup final
Baines - started the fa cup final
Lescott - started the fa cup final
Yobo - started the fa cup final
Hibbert - started the fa cup final
Howard - started the fa cup final
he played our strongest team in the last game v fulham bar Fellaini
no way will it be a weak west ham side v Leicester

I like that take mate. It makes good sense. We're all down there for a reason and on paper we've got the easier game by far.

Oh I remember the times walking up and down at some campsite in Malawi or Uganda, trying to reach the office wifi or just the good old World Service.

A pitch invasion whatever happens Sunday is a bit small time imo. I could understand it last season due to the euphoria of coming down from being 0-2 v Palace and also a night game which plays a part but just do a quick cheer at full time and then direct all ire at Moshiri, Kenwright and co and let them know exactly what they've done to this club before it's sold up.
2 points clear going in to the last game at home to Bournemouth, that was the stuff of dreams for me just one short month ago.
If only hibbert and osman had gotten injured
Haha, also worked in Mukono, just outside Kampala with no internet. Ahh, those were the days….
It does take that one specific permutation (Leicester win, we draw) off the table but losing one permutation isn’t the end of the world. It certainly doesn’t make it as good a result as Leicester seemed to think it was.
To look at it another way, our result on Saturday has taken the draw off the table for either of them on Sunday so it has turned out to be an important point.
That's what I've been wondering. And what about Coleman? Didn't they say his injury wasn't as bad as first thought?
You know Seamus would play his heart out for us.
