Coming out of the last International break we were 8 clear of 3rd 22:28 - Nov 7 with 3199 views | Dubtractor | And 11 clear of 7th. 4 games later we are still 8 clear of 3rd and now 12 clear of 7th. Over the last 6 games we are 3rd, with 14 points and no defeats, a solitary point behind Leeds and Leicester. We've also scored 15 goals in those 6 games. No arguing that we've not looked as sexy in the last few games, but we are incredibly resilient, we score goals for fun, we're unbeaten in 11 games, and are second in the table with a huge buffer to third. Enjoy the ride and don't stress too much if every game isn't perfect! |  |

A actual league 1 side playing in the championship. But this terrible result Is OK if we win on Saturday. Win our home. Draw away. That's all we need to get to the prem. |  |

It's not a terrible result you fanny. They have a decent home record, and specialise in doing exactly what they did to us tonight. Sure, it's a disappointing result, but 'terrible' is just going OTT. |  |

Coming out of the last International break we were 8 clear of 3rd on 22:36 - Nov 7 with 3006 views | jasondozzell | Thank god for some sanity! Exactly this. We've not been near our best recently but we've still had good results. Sign of a good team. Frustrating but still a decent enough point. I thought Rotherham did well. A 1-1 draw away at Rotherham to be 3 points off the top of champ is hardly losing 5-3 at Lincoln in League 1. [Post edited 7 Nov 2023 22:37]

It feels worse as we literally scored at the death thinking we won it only to get stung straight after in injury time. Saturday is a must win and anything will be disappointing and not Good enough. Leeds will beat Plymouth so we have to win. |  | |  |

I think it is tbh. 2nd v 3rd bottom One of most goals conceded sides in league v top scorers With 2nd in league mindset it is a terrible result. When you've drawn the last one too. As a newly promoted side. It's OK I guess. |  |

If we'd won tonight, we'd have breathing space to draw against Swansea, who have had a week's break to recover and prepare. As it is, if we want to keep the pressure on at the top, it's an important game to win. The last minute goal has changed the importance of Saturday for me. |  |

We lose on Saturday, Leeds win and the gap is halved in just a week. Yeah, I know, no one would have expected us to be in this position and it's still great. That equaliser was a sucker punch. |  |

Leeds had Leicester away. We had two away games against a team out of form and one in the relegation places. Although neither were going to be easy, they’ve gained a point on us, so the outcome of the last 5 days is disappointing when we had 6 up for grabs and they went to league leaders. That game in hand was looking nice with the cushion we had. As I said that in no way takes away from our incredible start to season. Two things can be true at the same time. Let’s get back to winning ways Saturday! |  | |  |

Rotherham have (so far) become the home draw specialists of the Championship, along with Hull and Coventry. They’ve only lost at home twice in 8 games this season. They were never going to be easy, let alone a pushover, on a midweek night in November. |  |
