You’ll get a plucky away win to prolong the agony on Tuesday as we are gash.

I don't know, it's written that you send us down to league 2 ten years almost to the day that we won the same division at Valley Parade.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

A chance too more or less send MK down, not to be sniffed at, even though we have fuck all to play for I hope we're going to give it a good go.

Rochdales appeal over hendersons red card fails and he is now out for the rest of the next two games I think.

[Gandalf the Grey]

Last two games vs Walsall and Oldham are big six-pointers for us; win those and we're probably surviving. With the way Walsall are playing, it shouldn't be too hard to defeat them, seeing how they utterly collapsed at Wimbledon and Scunthrope in the past few games, but Oldham'll probably be harder methinks.

 

[womble76]

I'm interested in who you think you will finish above if you get to 52. Other than Walsall. Even if you beat oldham another win and draw puts them on 52.

Bury

Well, it'll have to be either one of Rochdale or Oldham, as you'll probably win at Bury to stay up. Out of the two, Oldham look to be the more likely as they don't seem to be winning games as of lately.

 

[Gandalf the Grey]

Or if Bristol Rovers and Plymouth knock 24 past Gillingham we'll survive too, as our goal difference will be at worst -31 while theirs'll be -32.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

O well Milton Keynes not so Dons

 

[Hurrikeen]

And our WABLO status is finally nearing its end.

Knowing our luck, we’ll still end up playing Walsall in a league game next year.

 

[Hooped Wizard]

Losing Oldham, Walsall (stagnation central) MK Dons (not a football club) and Bury (basket case) in one fell swoop almost seems too good to be true.

 

[EricSabin]

Well it's opened up for us a bit more now...

 

[womble76]

Great night all in. Shame the Dale got a point but at the start of the night I'd have torn your arm off for that set of results

 

[Wombling Kiwi]

Walsall v Northampton, can I order a 0-0 draw now please.

 

[bantamigo]

MK were fucking abysmal, looked like they couldn’t give a shit about staying up.

That's great news, they wont be missed.

I'm afraid not. I've run the maths and there's a 98% chance JJOT will score a last minute winner

have to be 1-1 then

 

[T.A]

Walsall and Oldham would do now.

 

[bantamigo]

Even with all the franchise shit I can’t help myself but feel empathy with their fans who travelled. They went 1-0 down early and not a single player looked arsed. No encouragement, no urgency, no hand clapping or fist waving, nothing. Was pitiful, maybe sums up their existence.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

Win or bust on Saturday, can we take it into the last Saturday with something to play for and whether Oldham get their extra seats...
Knowing us we'll probably win both for a four match maximum streak and get dumped down on goal difference...

 

[Gassy]

Walsall Vs Northampton is looking a mouth watering game.

Any chance of a sell out?

Cobblers aren't far off, 4,000 sold in the home ends which is piss poor given its £5 for a ticket.

Yeah that is very poor - pay on the day should help though?

 

[DippyDon]

6 points off safety and in need of a 13 goal swing. You can all ejaculate happily at the little R next to our name soon enough

 

[LondonOrn]

If Oldham do go down (hard to envisage that) will many of their fans be that depressed? A lot of them don't even remember the Premiership glory years, and I imagine many (including those that do) would just welcome a change of scenery after years of treading water and a chance to rebuild the club.

 

[GEORGE]

All i know is that Oldham were the worst team to come to Rovers this season.

We've sold out the 2,000 they've given us, they're struggling to shift theirs it seems

Walsall have an air of a club that is doomed.
