Solent are making a massive song and dance on twitter about the disallowed goal, but I've seen the highlight of it and I agree with the referee. I'd be furious if that goal was given against Saints (and whilst I might not be a Cherries supporter, I am desperate for them to get promoted, given that I have always had a soft spot for you down the road).

Wilson might not be totally front onto the keeper, but he makes zero attempt to get out of the way. He knows exactly what he's doing.

I'd still take a point up there. You're only two points behind, and with a few games still to play.

We won but so did Tranmere. We haven't gained much ground but if we can string some kind of form together in the next few games you never know.

He doesn't move and the keeper miss kicks the ball straight at him. Another example of over protection for the keeper. I appreciate there is a rule about obstructing the goalkeeper from restarting the game, but Wilson does that all the time and while he is putting a bit of pressure on the keeper he is in no way obstructing the keeper in his attempt to clear the ball. My guess is the referee wasn't really watching the incident properly and he erred on the side of caution and disallowed the goal just in case Wilson was at fault.

All the same we had plenty of chances to win the game, and Wilson missed a sitter to put us 2-0 up. I reckon the way we are going we will end of with a record number of points dropped after being in a winning position.

Derby have gone downhill ever since I said they'd win the league.

Four defeats and two draws from their last six games. They have totally blown up. And a huge match vs Watford next.

I'd suggest that if they lose that one, and Watford win tomorrow, then Derby's automatic hopes will be over (at least one of Bmouth and Boro will pull further clear of Derby tomorrow too).

I'd agree with that, though who's going straight up is anyone's guess. Norwich are still in it, plus of course Derby if they can get something in the Watford game. Can Forest sneak into the play-off's? They will need three or four teams to have a bad run in, to do so.

I'm a bit concerned about our next two games, at home to Middlesbrough today and away to Ipswich on Good Friday, but if we can come through them both relatively unscathed then we have a pretty good run in from there where the others in the top six have a lot of difficult games between them.

They have played 4 of the top 7, two or three away, but worryingly not won any.....

Wolves are coming up strong behind now, they will be lucky to qualify for the playoffs.... and a poor recent Ipswich could be blasted again at Watford

Brentford's last five minutes rescues a lost point, but they will be bitter they dropped 2 points at home to the listless Millwall team

I think Ipswich won their last game, but yes Watford might well be too strong for them today, would take a nice draw to keep us on the summit for the international break though.

Just noticed that result, when I last looked they were 2-0 nil down with ten minutes to go. But definitely 2 points dropped.
