Tewksbury Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Getting any kind of result could have a huge knock on effect in 4 game's time. Norwich and Coventry are on a roll, with West Brom drawing their last 3 games. Norwich dropping points today, with a West Brom win v Rotherham would put them 4/5 points clear of Norwich and still 6/7 clear of Coventry with 12 points to play for if Cov beat Southampton, which is looking likely. By our game, especially with a result for them v Leicester or Coventry drop any points, they are pretty likely to be, if not on the beach, at least in preparation mode for the playoffs, so won't be going full on. A win also tightens the fight between Coventry and Norwich (and Hull if they beat Boro), which makes the 3 Cov, 2 Hull and 1 Norwich games v the bottom few must wins. Any result we get will help us in some way other than just the points on the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One camera and shit commentary - that are watching the main ifollow feed from a booth 150 miles away. Hopefully that is better next year Completed an EFL survey a few weeks back about the streaming service. My conclusion was simply devote the resources to getting the basics of picture quality right, before putting add ons into it Compared to the oomph Amazon Prime put into the mix its piss poor in comparison.

Too many occasions I encounter a Charlie Chaplin esque stuttering picture upon the screen that needs to be supplied with more pennies in the slot by the EFL and make it like the pic the makers of the magic stick can create on their own platform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
