They should have run away with it but had a collapse with a few games to go.
They had a dip in form around March/April but still won 5 of their last 6
Ipswich won 14 and drew 2 of their last 16 to overhaul them

I'm sure I read the other day they might play at MK Dons stadium if they go up I haven't seen that but if they do make to the PL you'd have thought playing at Kenilworth Road would give them a much better chance of survival than if they switched to MK Assuming the PL have given them the OK bearing ...

There was a really good feature about him on Clarets Player a few months back
He came across extremely well. Seemed like an intelligent player who understands the need to be able to take on the detailed instructions that enable us to deliver such fluid football

Work on a 23k capacity stadium on the site of a former power station in the town centre scheduled to start by the end of the year As has been mentioned estimated £10M spend to bring Kenilworth Road up to PL standard.

So it’s massively interesting to me how VKs approach is also working so far. It’s the same in some ways; also team based on togetherness, where the players all seem to put the collective before themselves, with a clear (albeit different) style - plus the hard work, which seems to take place more in...

United at home is the best game we could have hoped for after Friday - there's no way we relax or lose focus
A win tonight would effectively settle the title race
Also assume Luton are going to win this afternoon so there will be no complacency from United either

Wouldn't be resting JBG for this one. Benson off the bench a great option
Looks like THB will start but think Ekdal better suited to deal with any aerial threat
No Brownhill in the game at Bramhall Lane - we have the physicality to cope with United this time without sacrificing our usual game plan

Warnock has got them into a great position compared to the state they were in when he took over
With his experience can't see them going down. Remaining fixtures don't look too bad
Last two games are at home to United who will be promoted by then and Reading on the final day

Ipswich were keen on loaning Twine in the January window and there might have been some mileage in that until his free kick against West Brom which everyone hoped would be a turning point for him here If Ipswich go up that might be a move that suits everyone.

Tella and Churlinov both stretched the game when they were introduced and as such spaces started to appear and we put the Fleetwood goal under much more pressure I think the shape of the team as equally as important as the personnel.

In Neil Warnock's autobiography he says he was interviewed for the Burnley job but didn't get it
He doesn't say when that was or who was successful. The indication was he would have taken it if offered
Best guess would be when Howe succeeded Laws
