Ha. We were Argyle’s bogey team for ages until Schumacher went there, hopefully that continues.
If Hull come down, perhaps not one to get super excited about, but we haven’t played them since the mid-90s in the basement, so woo, I guess?
We have fuck all form or momentum going into the...
Congratulations Wxm, we weren’t strong enough to continue our good form of the first half of the season, the team that keeps up the points week in week out reaps the rewards, so it is what it is.
Everyone secretly dreams of being the L1 Walsall anyway, right? Right? :ffs:
I was wondering why you looked so cagey and counter-attacking early doors when you had to win today for your season not to be over, but fair enough Wellens obviously got the tactics right.
We are just way too negative and can’t score any more, so once the opposition is 1-0 up then that’s it...
Mostly the Brummies' fault that the fixtures have all gone to pot - and to think they didn't even get a Pizza Cup to show for it all. Ha.
Anyway, as usual a bunch of crunch fixtures.
Gas v Reading - the Gas desperate to stay up, Reading desperate to make the playoffs - must-win for both...
After we beat them, he was slating his players for just not looking up for it or getting stuck in.
The only one he seemed happy with was the young academy lad Abimbola who came on for his first senior appearance as a sub against us - who started putting himself about straight away the minute...
Well, it's the problem with our cagey Southgateball style, playing not to lose, to try and keep it tight and nick things at the margins.
When it just about works (as it has done in the past few games) then it's all very well to a point (albeit not enjoyable to watch), but when it goes tits up...
Charlton deservedly 2-0 up, shit marking for their first (atypical of us recently) and an absolute banger for their second.
We haven't been terrible but we certainly haven't been creating very much and our best chance has been a narrowly-missed OG attempt from CAFC.
I suspect we will not...
We continue through the agonising twists and turns of the end of the season on Monday.
Those stationed at either end of the table will as ever have almost as much of an eye on other results as their own, but that's the "fun" of this time of year.
Blackpool v Wrexham should be a close-run thing...
Commiserations Shrewsbury.
A lot depends on the takeover as to your potential fortunes next season, so fingers crossed with that.
The Gas/Burton battle remains an epic for our times.
Thank you agent Butcher and the Gas. It's still advantage Wxm with their gentle remaining fixtures, but at least nominally back in our hands.
Charlton on Monday will be a bitch of a game though.
Shame to see Warne take the tainted coin of the Franchise, I generally had a fair bit of respect for him as a manager - comes across as a straight-talking no-bullshit type.
Unfortunately that’s a solid appointment, hope their promotion bid fails next campaign and they stay down in the basement...
You’d expect most sides still in the promotion hunt to win here, apart from us v a Bolton side desperate for a playoff spot, and needing the win to avoid their season petering out to nothing.
Posh have improved of late but their fixture v Stockport runs the classic “after the Lord Mayor’s...
