So probably the first time all season we can be reasonably confident the old lady will bow out seeing yet another year of top flight football. However have to do it more justice than just 5 home wins by late April next season.

Sometimes we need a hero. Someone to step up when nobody else will. For GrandOldTeam.com/forum I will be that hero, providing this very match day thread for this pivotal game in our season.
