Forest have a super tough run in looking at it. Notable games Hull, Cardiff, Bora and Millwall away with Brighton and Leicester at home. Brighton have a slightly more favourable schedule then Bolton more favourable again. But its the championship, anything can happen on any given day so its too hard to call.

Debate raging on the Brentford forum about which football league club is the least fashionable. The least interesting, the most boring, has absolutely the least going for it. As an away day, as a club over the years, everything.

Walsall are one of the most mentioned names on the GPG, but they're making a bit of a come back as they apparently do some of the best pies and have a brilliant pub near the ground where it's under £3 a pint.

Yeovil have always struck me as a bit of a nothing but that's probably because they always beat us!

Who do you lot see as being the least glamorous club the football league has to offer? There's a lot of competition... the only rule is that you can't name a club your own team has a rivalry with. :smile:

Man not even a Cardiff fan but if they manage to screw up promotion it will be absolutely crushing for the fans!

Interesting question. I would have said Oldham Athletic before their recent cup heroics. Their stadium is dilapidated and not a particularly good away day, their fanbase isn't that big either which is hardly a suprise when you've got god knows how many other clubs, including the top two in the country on your doorstep. As a club they had no money and hadn't done anything of note in years. Longest serving club in League One I believe.

Now? I'm none too sure. Carlisle, Morecambe, Hartlepool and Scunthorpe are a few who come to mind. It's so subjective though, for example you could argue that Yeovil are punching above their weight being in League One, especially this season when they're challenging for promotion. They're notorious for causing cup upsets as well.

I remember going to a Walsall game and one of their fans threw a coin which struck a 10 year old girl

Oldham and Carlisle are good shouts. Morecambe as well, I think I'd forgotten that they even existed and even now the only thing I associate with Morecambe is cockle pickers. I can't tell you anything at all about their team or club.

I think I'm going to have to admit that Yeovil are a nice club for the neutral. It's definitely the Brentford fan in me talking - they're the only club to have done the double over us this season and we've only beaten them once in the last four years or so.

Great day for Brentford, terrible day for all the Blades on here.

We just got a 93rd minute penalty and won. **** me that was the tensest match all season and takes a little pressure off at Bramall Lane next week. Not much but a little...

Donny drew too so what a day for us.

Bad results for both Steel City clubs and bad results for all the teams around them in their respective divisions too. Sheffield will not be a happy place tonight.

Huge game for Palace tomorrow after todays results!

Huge win for the Wolves! However wins for Barnsley and P'boro leave us 23rd and squish the league right up - big win for Cardiff too.

Leicester are just out of confidence right now, lacking consistency and seem to be dull with creativity when they've got the ball

Good old Boro, never fail to disappoint. I know we always have a post xmas slump but this season takes the piss.

The bottom of League 2 .. Jeebus!

Shambles today it was. I was back home at 6pm thankfully! Feel sorry for those who had to travel a little further! Awful but expected a result like this after all those clean sheets in a row. Everything Stevenage hit went in/went towards goal.
It's how we respond next weekend that matters now.

Dani Lopez you beautiful, beautiful man. Real poacher that one, hope we can quickly get him on a longer deal before he goes somewhere bigger, or worse back to Spain. I think his record in England now is 12 goals in 21 games, pretty good return when you consider all three clubs he's played for (Stevenage, Aldershot Town and Barnet) are in the lower reaches of their divisions.

I've been a little quiet here for obvious reasons, but thought it was worth popping in again tonight! :wink:

Derby 2-1 Leicester.

Fantastic result for the Rams and, on the whole, I think we deserved it based on spirit alone.
Both teams were pretty terrible but Leicester seemed content trying to hoof it into our box at every opportunity, despite it not working once. Keogh, our captain, was magnificent.

2 more wins and I think we're safe now. COYR!

I had quite a way to travel back ipswichblade - the joys of being an away supporter, eh?

To cap it off, my cab didn't arrive, so I missed my train back as well. Far from chuffed, consoling myself that at least Wednesday also had a bad weekend!

Here's to a big game Sat'dy. Early ko, on Sky, Brentford doing fans offer.....signs aren't great.

Yes, unfortunately it's a nailed on away win. I hate being on the TV - it's always home games that are on too! I just hope they prove us wrong!

Everytime my club embarrasses me some more - ikeme punching a tactics board (surprised we even have 1 to be honest!) Blackburn always manage to make me feel a little better about our own situation. What a mess of a football club :redface:
