Don't know why Traore's not getting more of the ball, it's obvious he's their danger man. Most of their attacks are coming from the left.

My worst-case scenario acca is going well today.

I have done well with that tactic for several weeks now, backing our Championship rivals. One let me down today. Brentford.

My play off choices from the teams we could face would be Boro, Derby, Fulham, Cardiff in that order. Unlike a lot on here I would be more worried about facing Cardiff than Fulham. Although Millwall are looking like that team who put a late run together, sneak into the play offs and go out to enjoy them with less pressure than the ones who have been competing in and around the top six for most of the season.

Wolves down to 9 men with 20 mins to go

Perfect Neves & Doherty get Monday off and rest for Cardiff next Friday :-)

Thought Costa tripped himself up in the incident that led to their tantrums

Could be three games in a row v Millwall, if they finish sixth and we finish third!. That’d be interesting to say the least.

I think there is a very decent chance of a Villa third, Millwall sixth outcome.

And yet we absolutely battered Wolves. It’s just so fucking bizarre.

It's not that bizarre, it's just Aston Villa.

We would beat Boro in the play offs I reckon.

They would be a team I would choose to play in the play offs, but in the last few weeks Patrick Bamford has gone from Carlton Cole to Andy Cole.

We tend to do o.k against physical teams although worry is we'd concede a cheap set piece goal as that is a weakness for us.

Teams that can knock the ball around and press our midfield is where we struggle. See any game recently v Brentford, Fulham last month and PNE also pressed us very well and create plenty of chances.

This evenings games probably confirm we will finish no lower than 4th and that Blues are under pressure from Sunderland now which is good.
