2020/21 General Match Thread

[Shrimper92]

Up the Pompey and Fleetwood tomorrow. As little to play for as possible for Sunderland please!

Sunderland could rest their first team and they'd still smack us

 

[K-Win]

We need to keep our foot on the gas, Shrimpurh. At the very least we want to avoid Charlton in the play-off semis. The Addicks have our number this season.

Having said that, we've not beaten Donny in the last eight attempts. I think it's autos or bust for us.

 

[Gassy]

We need to keep our foot on the gas,

Sorry fella but that's a copyrighted Bristol Rovers phrase

How would you feel if I said "we need to play up Rovers, rovers play up on Saturday"

 

[K-Win]

I'd considerate it an absolute honour, Gassy. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

 

[Shrimpurh]

They could probably play the under 8s in all fairness

 

[Craig]

Beam back planned for our game at Bristol Rovers provided we’re not on sky. Hoping Peterborough turn over Pompey tomorrow so promotion is sealed though.

 

[Gassy]

I read somewhere they're selecting 5 L1 game for Sky this weekend so I'd expect ours to be chosen tbh

 

[K-Win]

I read somewhere they're selecting 5 L1 game for Sky this weekend so I'd expect ours to be chosen tbh

So I guess the definites are:
Luton v Oxford
Bristol Rovers v Barnsley
Plymouth v Scunthorpe

Likely:
Pompey v Accrington (as long as we beat Peterborough)
Walsall v Shrewsbury or more likely Southend v Sunderland (as it's Sunderland)

 

[Bobbin']

Pompey/Accy is a cert as is Southend/Sunderland I would say.

Sky will always be more interested in the promotion race and to be fair that Sunderland game does have implications at both ends.

 

[oakroader]

That's us fucked then if true...
Luton and tv ...like oil and water...

 

[Gassy]

Yep my guess would be:

Luton Vs Oxford
Rovers Vs Barnsley
Southend Vs Sunderland
Pompey Vs Accy
Plymouth Vs Scunthorpe

Is that on the Red Button as on a forum I read they said only one League One game and a Championship game.

No league 2 matches.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Did alright at Accrington to be fair, although the keeper did his best to help us out!

Just us in pressure games that don't really go together.

 

[Gassy]

I guess so?

I saw it being commented on again last night, apparently they'll announce which games after tonights games/tomorrow.

 

[Kenneth E End]

From a Luton fan / Sky Sports worker...

It's not rocket surgery, but as expected, Saturday's League 1 TV game will be officially decided after tomorrow night's Pompey v Posh game.

If Pompey win then it will be us.

If they drop points then I've been told it could be Sunderland at Southend or even S####horpe at Plymouth instead.

It’s not rocket surgery, nor is it brain science.

Would much rather watch Argyle v Scunny than the Mackems (again)

 

[K-Win]

I agree. If promotion's already settled then surely the desperately tense Plymouth v Scunny game would be the one to show. Sign me up.

 

[Caer]

We can providing some sort of miracle still get automatic promotion but even so I'd rather rest McGeady and Grigg for the playoffs. They've been playing through injuries the last few games and there's no reason to risk any further complications with next to nothing to play for. This does mean 180 minutes of Lynden Gooch on the wing which I need to mentally prepare for.

Fleetwood away tonight, a fixture their manager I am certain won't make all about him.

In other news our accounts from last season came out and dear god what a mess this club was in. Losing £390k a week while at one point having only £1.1m in the club accounts. Still a lot of stuff to be sorted on and off the pitch but now the vast majority of that debt has gone and there's still a football club to support.

yep rest them all Saturday

Jeez no. I am nervous enough as it is, without sharing it with non- Jenner’s as well. I’ll be the one watching it through their fingers.

[K-Win]

Well, it looks like congrats to the Hatters and the Tykes. Well deserved boys. Have a fun night!

 

[Kenneth E End]

Anyone see that big explosion of semen go up over Barnsley and Luton just a few minutes ago?!

Not quite on now is it though

 

[Kenneth E End]

Not quite on now is it though

Oh come on.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Unbelievable

 

[K-Win]

Exciting stuff, eh?

 

[Kenneth E End]

This is a terrible situation to be in because this result is no good for either side, meaning Peterborough have to come out in this half and attack now. Pompey have been all over them since HT looking at the stats.

 

[Shrimper92]

Sunderland fans, if you've nothing to play for on Saturday do you think you'll rest a lot of your first team?

 

[Kenneth E End]

And there it is.

Edit: no ducking way. Pompey had a goal chalked off seconds before. My app updated saying they had and it corrected itself.
