From what I can see of tonight's game it's got to be Bournemouth.
RE: Who is going up? - St Charles Owl - 27-04-2015
Looks like they have an auto place all sewn up, 2-0 up in the second half and 18 goals better off than Boro!!!
RE: Who is going up? - TheWorthinGer - 27-04-2015
3-0 now playing some great stuff - no wonder they have scored so many goals.
Bolton have been made to look woeful - regardless of how bad they actually, Bournemouth look leagues ahead/above them.
I can't wait to see if they keep playing like this in the premiership. They'll make lots of friends amongst us neutrals.
RE: Who is going up? - St Charles Owl - 27-04-2015
By all accounts they have been a joy to watch all season! Scored over 100 goals and have a +50 goal difference. Of course they will have to spend to stay in the prem but you would like to think they would retain the bulk of the team to at least have a go at the top teams!!
RE: Who is going up? - Lord Snooty - 28-04-2015
They beat us 4-0 at our place on the opening day of the season. They were already by then the best team in the league. This however was lost on our knowledgeable fans who blamed the manager, Mark Robins, almost causing a riot around the dug outs with mouthy tossers telling him to go.
He did go. Quit that same evening, despite us being ridiculed for sacking him after one match, but many fans would have had him sacked anyway.
Just goes to show that fans no nothing. We were beaten that day by a brilliant football team but all our lot could see was a Town team beaten by little Bournemouth which is a disgrace because we are so massive.

I cant believe how bad Derby County have dropped off, I know they had some key injuries but the fall has been terrible and I`d worry about Mclaren`s ability to turn situations around if I were Mike Ashley..

Come off it Snoots. Yes Bournemouth were very, very good at ours but our lot put absolutely no effort in that day at all, which is what riled the fans. Robins had lost the players, he knew it and should have gone much earlier, like the end of last season or at least during pre-season where he apparently couldn't get them fired up either. Fortunately he did go before the season got really embarrassing for us, so I'll give him that.
Interestingly 7 of the players in that first day squad are no longer at the club (6 of them started), plus Clayton who didn't play makes 8 and was at Middlesbro' by the following Wednesday. Think we got the the best end of that deal in Butterfield plus a million to spare even if Clayton gets promoted with Boro' in the play-offs. We'd improved sufficiently to draw 1-1 at their place by St. Valentines Day.
