It was very frustrating to hear how bad the ref was and that two of their four were conceded when we had a man advantage. But I didn't really expect much out of this one and, looking ahead, I don't really like the look of our run in at all.
QPR might be having yet another bad spell but Tuesday night will be as tough as Warnock games always are. He has already managed a 3-0 win over us with his other London team back in November.
Reading are rejuvenated since ditching Rodgers and could still squeak into the playoffs with a minor miracle. Hopefully they will come to the Vic with nothing to play for and McAnuff won't inspired when we start singing rude songs about him. As we're at home I reckon we've got a chance but again it'll be a tough game.
We always seem to do well at the Ricoh and guaranteed survival there last season. Our future is probably going to be decided there again which maybe bodes well as we've beaten Coventry twice in three meetings at their new ground. But they beat us earlier in the season at the Vic and, again, I can't help feeling the phrase 'tough' can be applied to this one as well.
So I think a lot of the remainder of the season is going to be about hoping other teams lose rather than relying on those in yellow to get three points. Here are how the remaining games pan out for those most likely to still be battling to avoid 22nd until the bitter end.
Scunthorpe (50 points, three games remaining)
Tuesday v Reading (home)
Sat 24 April v Doncaster (away)
Sun 2 May v Forest (home)
Watford (48 points, three games remaining)
Tuesday v QPR (away)
Sat 24 April v Reading (home)
Sun 2 May v Coventry (away)
Palace (47 points, two games remaining)
Mon 26 April v West Brom (home)
Sun 2 May v Sheffield Wednesday (away)
Sheffield Wednesday (45 points, three games remaming)
Sunday v Sheffield United (home)
Sat 24 April v Cardiff (away)
Sun 2 May v Crystal Palace (home)
I think we could end up at the Ricoh with our ears pressed against radios listening more keenly to what's going on at Hillsborough than the game going on in front of us. Let's hope not.
