After tonight’s result we only need to beat Brum by 4 and we’ll have the same goal difference as Millwall - who’d have thought that last week?!
 



I just don't want to see another £50 million team celebrate because they've foiled us in some way, whether it's because they've prevented us from winning or only lost by 4 when we needed 5.
Time to just do it.

That last point is overlooked by our team in my opinion .........

We have ONE type of throw-in and that's short and return it straight back to the thrower. When we get somewhere close to the edge of the opposition box surely it's worth slinging the long throw into the box as an alternative ? Puts defences and goalies under pressure if directed properly.

UTB !
 



More pressure on Brum than us i would say, what with all the dosh they have squandered and the expectations they had at the start of the season.
For us it's an opportunity to grab a play-off place that no-one would have expected, so i reckon we will be more relaxed and get at them early to put the pressure on. Don't want to predict a score.....................fuck it..2-0 to the Mighty!

Do we even know if we have any long throw specialists in the squad these days?

Spot on; high tempo from the off, turn the defenders, make them play facing their own goal, compete for every ball, make them earn the right to play in midfield, put a few balls under the cross bar, let your marker know you're about, clip the winger's wings early doors, get the crowd on their back, make it unpleasant for their keeper & bloody a few shins/ankles. Oh, you were being ironic, as you were fella's ;)
 
How so?

Two games to go after today and 2 points behind the current 6th placed team...

Mathematically not impossible but I feel our goal difference would be crucial on 73 points, indeed even if such a points tally is enough. Let's win all 3. Today's is the easiest in some ways though all 3 will take mammoth efforts.

I'd say that with Birmingham fighting relegation, its the hardest to call... All three sides have something to play for

Fair comment and I would entitle this thread ' defend; defend ; defend, defend, defend ' :)

I'd be surprised if the 7 sides fighting for the last two play off slots aren't reduced by 1-2 before the last day of the season, but i think at least one of those two places will still be up for grabs on the last day of the season.

A win today would keep the pressure on 5th and 6th, but it isn't essential.

Hopefully Bristol City slip up and are out of it by the time we play them.
 
Hope I am wrong but Today’s match has the Barnsley game repeated written all over it. Big ears is bound to get one for them.

Wish we were playing a mid table side with nowt to play for.
 
We have nothing to lose and need to just go for it today. We need to get the form and the swagger back from earlier this season.

I'm sure Ryan Leonard has a bit of a long throw according to what Southend fans were saying when he signed.
