The bells and whistles promotion thread

[thewwfc]

Think we may well have blown it officially. Oh well. Doubt we could have beaten anyone on aggregate over 2 legs anyway.

 

[StagsForLife]

Signed, sealed and delivered to Wimbledon tonight and to be fair they've probably been the only team worthy of it.

 

[EricSabin]

3 wins for 100 points...

Agreed.

 

[rudebwoyben]

I think you might too. Shame for Oxford but thems the breaks.

But sort of funny considering they were singing all sorts of songs celebrating their march to imminent promotion when they beat us a few weeks ago.

 

[Aber gas]

Everything is ABSOLUTELY fine. Certainly no panic here.

 

[cufc17]

We're now 14th and looking likely to finish below Barnet. Terrific season.

Wrong thread mate.

Wrong thread mate.

Nah we're still capable of sneaking into that last playoff spot, a seven point gap with nine points to play for? Easy!

Blind optimism? I'm with you brother

Massive 4 days for us with away wins at Pompey and Orient. Daggers at home Saturday so expecting another 3 points. This is going to the wire!

Tight as a gnats arsehole up there, well from 2nd down anyway

Bit of form for the playoffs ?

I'm hoping Wycombe and Stevenage shithouse you for draws

Two home games will be wins, get a draw at Wycombe and 7/9 points could see you up. Come on Stanley.

Have we upset you or summat?

 

[EricSabin]

Nope I'd like you lot up as well! Just not Oxford or Plymouth through the autos

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

Playoffs more or less over for us, never thought we'd make it after our typical Winter slump so no surprises here.

 

[JJH]

Have we upset you or summat?

I'm with Eric - fucking come on Accrington!

And Oxford and Plymouth as well, please

 

[Kenneth E End]

Despite 3 wins in a row, we can be mathematically out of it on Saturday, if not virtually out of it.

 

[rudebwoyben]

You were never in it Kenny..

 

[Flaxman's Alibi]

After spending almost the duration of August-February in the top 7 March absolutely killed us stone dead. The fact that we've picked right back up to early season form works two ways: it bodes well for next season and is agonising too.

Wimbledon have earnt that final play off spot by grabbing the bull by the horns whilst all of their rivals have blown points left and right. I don't think they should be discounted in them either - perfectly capable of winning it.

 

[martinox]

Oxford doing their usual and throwing it away. At least we are guaranteed the play-offs although on present form I can't see us even making it through to the final, let alone winning at Wembley!

I said at the time that Dagenham, Newport and Yeovil had to be 9/9 points, had we have got that instead of 3 points we'd be right up there. It's fine margins between success and failure.

 

[PlymouthCasual]

If it stays as it is then there will be some mammoth play off ties with Rovers, Pompey and Argyle all in the mix!

We can only hope that a bottling Wombles run-in takes it to the last game of the season, then you can have the pleasure of bursting our bubble and ensuring we meet again next season - ideally with a 4-4 draw if that's the way it has to go.

No chance mate we're shit lately.

 

[PoolieTom]

Yes only a few. I think we might just do this....

Impressed with your lot last night, up there with Bristol Rovers as the only two teams to have impressed me. Windass, Halliday and Kee all had very good first halfs, and your no.2 (Petersen?) was superb throughout.

Dominated play first half, although confined to a lot of long range shots. Two pieces of magic, first from Coneely (what a goal by the way, claps from all stands) and then Windass to set the second up was the difference between the two sides. Our goal came from a corner which probably was our first attack of note. We took control second half and you didn't see much of the ball, only one chance I can remember when Windass ran into the box and took a dive that was worthy of a straight red nevermind a yellow, utterly shameful. Resolute defence that we struggled to break down. Very impressive.

Strange scenes at the end of the game though, your centre back (no.5) man handled James down who was through on goal, he hid away from the ref who I can only assume forgot who committed the foul as he didn't even get a yellow card. When the final whistle went no.5 decided to run and fist pump in front of our fans for a good 30 seconds. Some of your players went over and apologised to the crowd for his weird behaviour.

All in all, game was played in good spirits, despite our lack of urgency at times. Good luck with automatic promotion.

Those Pompey fixtures look very tricky after their surprise defeat last night.

I would love nothing more then to pinch the last place from that wanker Cook.
