Not for the faint hearted

City drew. Millwall beat Forest. Scunthorpe lost.

Then on Easter Monday it all changed again: City lost.

Situation today: we simply CANNOT afford to lose any more games. We've got Yeovil this afternoon - if we lose and Forest beat already relegated Brentford we're still ahead of Forest by one point, but Yeovil would be three points behind us with three games left to play. Here's some objectivity for you (a very scarce commodity round here at the moment): having mentioned a couple of posts ago that Yeovil's away record against the top six is not that good, they've recently lost to Scunny and Oldham away and Blackpool at home. William Hill has a City win at 8/11, 12/5 the draw and 3/1 Yeovil win.

If Scunthorpe beat Huddersfield, they're up. Similar kind of odds for Scunny as City have.

Forest need to beat Brentford, but there are injury problems for both sides.

Madame Zaza predicts: congratulations to Scunthorpe United for reaching the top half of the league since 1964.

And I will curse the day that smoking and standing were outlawed at Ashton Gate. If there was ever a day for both, it's today. I will report back later.

...it's so close it's almost unbearable.
