Promotion thread

[Gassy]

I’d be very surprised if we went up automatically, we need too many teams to slip up.

However, whilst I don’t agree with 2 of the games play on Monday, there is a decent chance we could be joint 3rd or even 3rd by 5pm on Saturday - that pressure could either make or break Mansfield/Vale, so it might work in our favour (although I doubt it)

 

[Indian Dan]

I reckon every single result will go our way and we’ll sneak 3rd on GD.

Christ, I’ve been hacked by Devon Lad!

The fight for 3rd is the most entertaining/ competitive tussle I can remember in years.
Going to be a lot of drama on the final day this year.

 

[Indian Dan]

Just hope your final fixture doesn’t provide the opportunity for a certain result that both teams would be happy with.

We will 100% be going for it.

Even if FGR lose on Saturday and we win, we still need to win our final game in case they also win. Otherwise we will miss out on the title on goal difference.

The players have said they are gunning for it.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Have a feeling we'll take three points off Swindon or Northampton - these are our only chances of doing the double over someone this season.

Feel free to turn over Cobblers!

A draw would be enough in those circumstances though. If a draw was enough for PV, you can see how neither side might not want to risk anything.

100% behind this. It’s the right thing to do

 

[Devon_Lad]

That's the key though isn't it. When we didn't make the playoffs last year there were plenty calling for the manager's head.

No there wasn't

It worked, didn't it?

 

[Chris FGR]

wait - what.... we beat you 4-0... did you miss that game?

Our whole team missed that game....

Seriously though you were very good, if only you played like that every week etc.

I agree with this also.

No, if only you played like that every week. Or maybe you are, except against us

Sure there weren't

Fuck me. 7 posts on Exeweb out of over 250 active users over the past year. Of Exeweb, that represents less than 5% of our supporter base. Cased fucking close. You're spot on LOADS of people were calling for his head. Jesus christ you're thick. You even had to clutch at straws and bring posts up about theoretically being sacked if something happened that covid curtailed early which he then went on to reneg on because of it. I also won't mention your legohead post who is a fucking torquay fan.

If you think I'm bothering to trawl the whole of exeweb to prove you wrong then you vastly overestimate your importance. Two minutes is all I'm willing to give.

And failed at that you did. Like with most things

Well, far be it from me to argue with such an expert on failure

 

[AdamStag]

I think that shows that well run clubs often triumph in the end. I'm hoping vale go a similar way.....year on year challenge (if we don't go up this season) and then ultimately we will get promoted.

Even though we might miss out this year, all the building blocks are in place.

And again i agree, again we aren’t going to get a better manager than clough, so why would
we bin him off if so.

If we can avoid a period next season (if still down here) where we don’t have such ridiculous injuries all in one go who knows

You hung the white flag out 4 games back ,not worth listening to

 

[BarrieOwl]

Just seen how tight it is for both the 3rd auto spot and the play off berths, great for the neutrals but as a fan of the clubs involved it is stressful as fuck.

 

[Indian Dan]

It’s who blinks first. There’s no way the results of the 6 clubs involved will all be positive.

I backed you pre season in a 4 fold, shame West Brom are turd, rest still in with a chance.

 

[Indian Dan]

That was brave! We were a right shambles pre season after we got shot of The Slug. On the up now, even if we miss out this season.

 

[BarrieOwl]

Us, you, West Brom then Spurs to finish top 4.

This season is bonkers.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

It's a poor quality league really.
The two that have stood out to me have already gained promotion and the rest are poor to meh.
For ourselves and Mansfield to be up here after awful starts just shows it doesnt take much to turn things around. Same for Bolton last season.

We’re dogshit, remember

Just very decent at set pieces and have a solid defence. Not a team id want to watch but cant argue with your league position
