The run in......

[Northyorksblade]

pigs 'almost' pulled it off last year.. come to think of it we weren't far off ourselves

Really the point I'm making is, once it's said out loud it doesn't happen FACT

 

[blade too long]

Relatively straight forward games for Brentford and Donny against teams with nowt to play for and not in good form. MK Dons have been shocking and Stevenage lost 5 on the bounce. We could be 4 points behind Donny and level with Brentford by the ....... oh hang on!!?? Just shows you cannot predict owt. Donny, top and excellent away from home get smashed by 3rd from bottom of the form league, mid table MK Dons. 2nd from bottom of the form league and mid table no hopers Stevenage turn over much fancied Brentford. Have it! Nice set of results. It brings home that owt could happen.

All we an do is perform to our best ,Think 6/7 wins and 3 draws will be enough , to get up way things are going
and the football gods seem to be in a favourable mood for us just lately , after losing 3 and being told wed be found out well lo and behold bournemouth get found out and lose 4 donnys won 1 in 6 tranmere have gone from 11 points in front to 6 behind Di Canios walked out on Swindon, and everyone under wednesdays collecting points as they dip
AND
only 1 team has lost only 2 home games brentford , next best are us with 3

So its not only us found out of late

has anyone else notice the bile about us bottling gets mentioned more in here when wednesday lose. I wonder why

 

[Northyorksblade]

Are you talking about me????? A pig???? I don't think so. I am just a superstitious bugger with lots of experience of us cocking it up. I don't think I've ever been so insulted

 

[travellingblade]

I've just had a detailed look at Bournemouth's remaining fixtures.

10 games to go starting with home against Doncaster and finishing away at Tranmere.

Of the rest SEVEN games are against teams fighting to avoid relegation, which could be an easy 21 points for AFCB!

 

[stannyblade]

Wilson praised the 12th man on Sat at Oldham. We need to ensure he does the same for home games. Regardless of how they are playing we need to do what we used to do and get behind them and not wait for them to do something to get us going.

But the ref's in this division are just dire and you have no idea whether they will be for or against

When did we used to do this?

 

[Flakey]

Playing teams fighting for survival is about as difficult as playing teams who are looking to go up!

What you need for the run in is to play teams who are safe from relegation, but have little chance of making the play-offs. They just there for the ride

You mean Stevenage and Crewe

 

[stannyblade]

When did we used to do this?

Under Colin we didnt need the team to spark us into life. Now it seems we do - that or a decision going against us

Looking at those fixtures, the league table and form it is very difficult to say who is going to go up. Donny are looking strong, but have 3 of the top 6 to play in their last 7 and others have games in hand. Swindon, Brentford and Bournemouth take turns in looking like they'll grasp 2nd and then fookin up their chances. Tranmere continue to defy the odds and though Yeovil look to have run out of steam, there fixture list is the easiest (on paper). Us ..... who knows!?

 

[Ollessendro]

Did a bit of analysis on the run in and the last few games. Fook me it is going to be tight. It's not over yet muckers! Hold on to your underwangers, it is going to be a nail biting ride!?

 

[blade too long]

I reckon well make 2nd by a point

Not entirely sure I wanted to download this. Might just take Google's advice:

 

[Torrix1889]

80 points. Win against Crewe, Crawley and Preston, lose against Brentford & Pompey and draw the other two.

That would see us finish 4th I reckon, with Brentford edging out Bournemouth for second...
