Bit off topic but wondering if anyone can help please. Going tonight with my son but my car’s gone kaput and public transport not really an option where we live. What are the chances of being able to get a taxi/uber after the game?

Better not be, he’s essential.

This game is massive, the team and the crowd need to be right up for it.

If I don't have a lift, I usually walk up to Perry Barr and order one. By then the traffic has died down a bit and you tend to get one easily enough. Failing that, have a quick pint in the new warehouse thingy after the game and order one when the crowds have died down.

Cheers, sounds easy enough then!

Some rumours circulating that Cash has a hamstring injury which could mean him being out for 2-3 weeks? If so, the last thing we need!

No.

I would say

Brighton
Leeds
Wolves*

All must win

*If we cannot beat the buggers at their place this season then we may never will (I do appreciate it was only a worldy that won us the game at home)
