2 wins and a tie from our last 4 secures promotion. So close. Bring on Oxford United!

Two wins and a draw see us go up.

Need to win on Friday. Don't want to go into the last day needing a result.

5 clear with a better GD with 12 to play for. 7 points should be enough.

Spot on.
He does the job he’s asked to do.
Others are more dynamic but don’t keep their shape as good as him.

Most the blunts can get is 95 with a terrible GD in comparison, so 7 is enough.

Agreed. They probably would now had it not been for Rooney.

Been calling for Gruev for a while, he maybe boring but he's a key player for me.. corners decent too

I don’t disagree, my point being (albeit apparently not well made) that everything he’s done he’s had to do on his own. Little help from Gnonto, who plays a totally different role to,DJ.

Great Jayden interview on LUTV atm

Dallas patted him on the back before the game and said you're scoring today

Handled that tricky fixture really well.

Lots of players stood up today.

Darlow, Solomon, Firpo, Piroe and others.

Farke as well deserves credit for the game management and that we didn't drop back.

Really proud.

Sheffield United fans must be absolutely raging!!!!

I like James but Gnonto's passing is a thing of beauty. different dynamic but equally as good. I thought Gnonto freed up Bogle today a bit more. Plus their first game together in a while

we have two top class right wingers
