The bells and whistles promotion thread

[Kenneth E End]

We're still hanging onto this thread - 6 points behind with 9 games left. We don't play until Easter Monday now, because of international call ups for Dagenham

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

I LOVE YOU NORTHAMPTON

 

[Vanni]

Space for one more? Exeter want in too.

 

[CrazyImp]

Yes Cobblers you absolute glorious bastards, won me over a century today. Over 100 points now, yeah?

(Don't ever go 0-2 down again.)

 

[Kenneth E End]

So many what ifs! If we had held on probably half the number of times we've conceded in injury time or the last 5 minutes of games this season, we'd be at least 7th by now.

 

[Don Tonberry]

More dropped points for us today and yet we're still only five from automatic, but now there are two clubs five points ahead of us and we have to jump Accrington too.

Pretty sure Ricky Holmes isn't human.

Pretty sure Ricky Holmes isn't human.

Well he's been injured so many times he's probably been reconstructed as a cyborg on the quiet.

 

[EricSabin]

Unreal second half. Holmes is unreal. The celebration was unreal. Unreal.

 

[Gashead]

8 point gap off the teams outside the play-offs, looking good from that perspective

I'd say that's us out of the promotion pack now, 6 points outside the playoffs.

Based on that performance, I'd be shocked if Wycombe snuck into the top 7. Average side.

 

[Nelza82]

Am I right in thinking Northampton can be promoted on Easter Monday? 17 points clear of 4th place - ridiculous!

Yeah we could be, depending on results of course.

 

[StagsForLife]

They're getting promoted at our place. It was happening that way like 3 months back.

 

[Womble98]

Vital win today. Might scrape 7th.

Most teams in this division are average or worse that's why they're in League 2 including us.

I meant average in terms of this division, though that was one of our better performances recently and we still failed to win.

I thought before the game today it was important we didn't lose even if it meant just a point and losing some ground. Notts County at home next so I expect us to get back to winning ways on Friday.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Might be up against a new manager - never easy.

 

[The Terminator]

We were again very very average at home today and got a bit of a lucky win. Still not convinced we're top 7 material as an overall team, even though we have 4-5 players on paper who would suggest we are.

Might be up against a new manager - never easy.

They are due a decent managerial appointment to be fair.

Northampton, Oxford and Rovers for autos with Pompey winning the play offs would be good news. League 1 is far too northern this year.

 

[EricSabin]

And Walsall, Gillingham and Millwall to stay down

And Plymouth too far south...

This is just a Ricky Holmes appreciation post.

Absolutely! Orient winning the play offs wouldn't be bad either, Wycombe too at a push although it's a fairly pants away day.

 

[EricSabin]

6 points from our Easter games (Newport and Mansfield) really puts us in a great position to get 100 points! Would give us 88 needing 12 from 7 games for the magical 100

Thanks for your support.

Charlton and MK going down would help too.

The Wycombe stand is OK, it's the hour you spend attempting to get out of the place afterwards...
