Fleetwood

[Blade58]

Have sneaked up and only 7 points behind us same games

Good news is, they have to play both Scunny and Bolton in a few weeks time

Thought we played some great stuff today. Shame we couldn't have nicked it

Uwe Rosler is one of the most astute managers in this league. I have Always been a huge admirer of his, he is doing a phenomenal job at Fleetwood.

 

[veganblade]

Credit where credit is due, 16 games unbeaten in the league (10 wins, 6 draws). But glad pressure is more on 2nd and 3rd spot.

UTB

 

[Lard_Lad]

Still a lot to do to catch us, more pressure on Bolton and Scunny which is nice and they've all got to play each other so someone's dropping points

Agree.

His Brentford side are still the best team I've seen at the lane in league 1. His teams are always competitive and he has a good eye for a player.

Get next week out of the way and we "should" be home and dry

We still have a number of tricky fixtures to come after Bolton

Nowt's won in February (unfortunately)

 

[BigBed]

Be nicer if they were 12 behind.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Fixture congestion ahead too. Nowt's decided until mathematically we can't be caught

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Fleetwood could do us a massive (sorry) favour by taking the points off Bolton and Scunts, effectively leaving us clear with a run in for top two.
Saying that, play like today for the rest of the season and we will go up as champions.

 

[Bladey McBladeface]

He did sign Woolford...

 

[robbiez666]

I would not be surprised if Fleetwood go up. Top manager and seem to be on a roll.

rochdale away

are only 2 top half sides we have left to play
10 games v bottom half clubs 5 against bottom 6
we need 7 maybe 8 wins

if we beat all 5 near bottom means 2 wins from other 8

 

[Tyler Durden]

Scunthorpe v Fleetwood.

It'd be so fucking typical if Scunthorpes poor run of form actually ends up working against us.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

We really need Fleetwood to hit the rocks. They're the division's form side, big time. And you can see why - really solid & compact, and dangerous on the counter.

Very good side - miles better than Scunny going by both sides' performances at the Lane.

Millwall and Oxford are in the top half and we have still to play both of them them.

 

[Stretch]

Fleetwood and Millwall are the 2 teams to watch and either one of them could knick 2nd imo.

Regarding Fleetwood, really hope they take points off Scunny and Bolton. I actually think 2 draws would be the best results for us, as it would essentially create a bottleneck from 2nd to 4th. Provided we keep chipping away we shouldn't get dragged into it.

Ooh if only I had a spare grand..

They haven't lost in ages though and seem to have shot up from nowhere. Probably still too much for them to do but definitely one to keep an eye on. Would certainly fancy them in the playoffs.

15 points behind with 15 left
if we keep up our 2 points per game theyyd have to win every single game to finish a point behind us
and theyve only won 5 away

how come blades can see us fail miserably from here yet teams to which they dont say they have an allegiance to can suddenly go on fantastical runs

Knowing the Blades luck, they'll all be top half by the time we play them

not bothered
we should have won today with a tad more luck
Ive no fear we will be up by mid April , never mind last game
we are still dominating games and out playing teams , you dont win them all
but
we will win enough

I think we might be getting our wires crossed, I never said they would leapfrog us into 2nd. They could conceivably catch Scunny, maybe. In any case I fully hope that we will be looking down on the battle for 2nd as champions. Still a lot to do though.

lot to do
but the perfect opportunity from where we sit and our remaining fixtures , compared to the others
but mainly with the squad CW has gathered
had 3 difficult fixtures and maintained our lead easier ones to come by comparison
