Yeah, I actually legit had a 'Canary at work' about 7 years ago when they were breaking through, well before Jacob came here (and I didn't know they supported Newcastle at that time), and he was thinking Josh would be the better of the two.

Yep, it's in both of their hands, and still advantage Wrexham for the reasons I mentioned earlier, but Wrexham had won 17 and drawn 2 of their last 19 league games before today, looking like they wouldn't be stopped, and for the first time for a quite a while Notts County are now in a position where they can win all their remaining matches and be very likely to win the league. Before today, they could have beaten Wrexham on Monday, won all their other games 5-0, and still miss out.

Great day for Carlisle at the top end of League 2!

Yep, back in Notts County's hands as it stands. You'd still rather be Wrexham as they are at home, and Notts will pretty much have to win the match, but if Wrexham lose today then they certainly have the opportunity. That's on BT Sport at 3pm. Wrexham 3-1 down now, so looking like a loss there.

It'll be strange being Josh Murphy. Just taken off for Oxford, a club in relegation trouble in the 3rd tier, whereas his twin is becoming a cult hero at the re-emerging club they both support.

Sheff Wed doing their best to bottle automatic promotion. Looking like a 6th game without a win here, Ipswich are winning comfortably (about 8 wins in a row), and Plymouth have got a late possible winner at Morecambe, so the Owls could be third by the end of the day, having played a game more than the other 2.

Corberan went on an amazing run post Bruce, winning 9 of 10 league games, but since the Burnley match they have only taken 1 point from 5 away matches, could be 1 from 6 after today, and that will probably cost them a playoff place. I know WBA and Norwich, and Watford, often yo-yo, and many would like newer sides in the top flight, but, especially after watching that, the playoffs as they stand at the moment don't look particularly appealing.

We'll probably get it again, possibly twice, in about a month.

Doesn't seem that long ago, but I think the last time we did that was 02/03 when we finished 3rd under SBR,

WBA ahead at Rotherham. I'm still hoping they can at least make the playoffs so hopefully they come through there.

Big day of live football on Sky today. 12.30pm - Millwall vs Luton, could potentially be a repeat match in the playoffs in a month or so 3pm - Oxford vs Sheff Wed, big match at both ends of the table, especially after the latter's mini wobble. A few Championship matches on that budget red button service as well 5.30pm - Sunderland vs Hull, kind of just a midtable clash now with neither in particularly great recent form, but if a few of the earlier kick offs go their way, Mackems could just about keep their season alive with a win and they do have a few winnable matches immediately after this one 8pm - Boro vs Burnley, Boro still fighting for top 2, and Burnley can seal promotion if they win and Luton don't earlier in the day

On Sky, or just generally? On Sky, possibly Watford vs Huddersfield, generally, Blackpool vs Cardiff.

He does seem like one of the most obvious players in the XI that could be upgraded, and you often hear people talking about Rice, Neves, that lad from Ajax etc. who would almost certainly take his starting position should they sign, but just hypothetically, say we brought him in the summer for circa £40m from either home or abroad, and he put in the exactly the same performances as he has all season would there be as much clamour for him to be upgraded? Does the fact he came through the academy and lost his way a bit under Bruce, and maybe that he is 26 later this year (so not particularly young / exciting) and has only really had a combined 2 years max of being decent affect judgment? I'm not saying that's the case, but just wondering what people thought.

Blyth vs Darlington today, big game at both ends. Draw probably just about better for Darlo, but both could very much do with the win. I would have been half tempted to go to Spennymoor vs Fylde as it's probably the easiest ground to get to, but after back to back defeats, or 1 points from 3, Spenny's season is effectively over.

I'm generally pessimistic when it comes to NUFC, always said I'd be very happy with 6th and never really let myself believe we could get 4th, but if you were looking at it from a neutral perspective then it obviously looks very good for us at the moment. It'll probably come back to bite, but it's sort of the first time that I'm thinking we will get there. A potentially tricky match out of the way last night, just 10 to go, and some winnable games in there. With GD, which wasn't harmed at all last night, it will possibly just take 16 more points from the last 10 (as long as the GD is at left maintained). 5W and a D, 4W and 4D etc.

I forgot Tottenham has such a good start to the season, 5 wins and 2 draws from their first 7 (so would have been a huge 9 points clear of us at that early stage with us only on 8 points), they then lost to Arsenal, but won at Brighton and beat Everton, so after 10 games, they had 7 wins and 23 points (2.3 PPG), which is a fantastic return, but in their last 19 league games they have W8 D3 L8, so only 27 points and a PPG of 1.42 - they got nearly the same points tally in their first 10 than they have in their last 19. They also lost to Forest in the League Cup, Sheff Utd in the FA Cup and limped out of the CL in that same period, so it's been pretty average stuff basically since we beat them in late October.

It's strange, his stock is clearly lower than it was a year ago following his Everton stint, and they have definitely picked up since he went, and I should be laughing at this, but for some reason it doesn't actually feel that ridiculous.

Right, that'll me other club foruming for at least 3 hours now

Get young Elliot on for a few mins soon as well.

It's about time!

Maybe leave now, but was ridiculous them leaving just before. Could have been 16 mins left and they were on the front foot.

Fucking get in lads!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can defo see them scoring one, possibly here, but hopefully not for a while if they do. Will be a very nervy end.

Thought that was in

It's baffling not giving Targett a chance. He's been on the bench for a while now. Surely he could get 20 mins or so here when we have 2 subs left to make?
