They've only beaten Cambridge, Accrington and Morecambe tbh.

yeah, but when the teams below you just aren't picking up points at all, then that can be enough.

The MK run-in is not great, in fairness, but they may only need something like 4 more points to stay up given how poor the other teams around the drop zone have been.

At least I have one.

Have you? In Sheffield?

What are you, a blacksmith?

You're a funny guy, you should try stand up, if you ever got that chip of your fat shoulders.

That reminds me of someone who we probably have a mutual dislike for, Chris Wilder.

When he was manager at Oxford he massively outstayed his welcome and fell out with most of the fan base. His nickname was Chippy.

Some said he was well balanced, as he had a chip on both shoulders. Boom, boom.......

Bit of a free hit at Wednesday.

I daren't even consider going to Hillsborough with the side we put out at Fleetwood. Our usual subs had to play and those normally left out were on the bench!

We got Poole back at the weekend, it sounds like Erhahon will be back for this game and Rushworth and Roughan return after international duty.

But we lost Montsma and Bishop to injury at Fleewood and they add to the list of other absentees - Walsh, Eyoma, Shodipo, Vernam and O'Connor (suspended).

I can see us picking up points against Cheltenham, Charlton and possibly Burton. How many is of course a question. I just hope we aren't going to Burton having to win to stay up. Anything else is a bonus..

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Don't hope Exeter win tonight but I certainly hope Barnsley lose

 

[PlymouthCasual]

After much self consultation and reflection, I really cannot bring myself to support Exeter under any circumstance. Im sort of embarrassed that it even crossed my mind if I am honest. Come on Barnsley!!

Hmm.

Not looking “good” then ?

Real bad result for me tonight mate.

 

[HutchECFC]

That. Will. Do.

Barnsley must be sick of the sight of Stanno by now. 2 at Oakwell, 1 goal & 1 assist tonight. Ran their defence ragged all evening. 450 in the away end though - gotta say, I was expecting a few more.

Ever since the Wycombe (A) game, you can really see the new way of playing that Caldwell, Perkins and co. are implementing. Dare I say that its better football than Matt Taylor played?

If we carry on playing like that for the rest of the season, we'll upset a few more of the big boys in the next few weeks.

Fair play to you lot tonight and for having our number for whatever reason this season, sounds like we turned up just expecting to win and got told where to go. Weird that Stansfield has looked a cut above in both our games but doesn't seem to have done much the rest of the season. I only ask that both your team and he play as well against Ipswich, Wednesday and Plymouth!

I think our away support has suffered badly after our worst season in our 135 year history, but we're also not a club with the fanbase of the likes of Wednesday or Derby or Ipswich so there's never going to be the appetite for many more than that midweek.

Think that's autos done for us, was always going to be once we eventually lost a game but I'm not gonna complain after the run we've been on. Just hope we don't totally implode and drop out of the top 6...

 

[LeonTheGreen]

I’ll take that.

Stansfield was brilliant at Home Park too, but as you say seems to have been quiet since. There's clearly a great player in there. Shame he'll never be tempted to Devon's biggest club for obvious reasons!

 

[codaplenty]

Really looking forward to this weekends game against Exeter. Without doubt they have had a good first season back in league 1and last night's result against Barnsley was excellent. That being the case a good test for Fleetwood who are finding good form as the season draws to its end. Stockley and Marriott are starting to gel nicely and defensive wise Holgate continues to improve in the middle. Player of the season has got to be Jay Lynch, comparatively unknown back in August, he has been in superb form from day 1, probably means he's due a bad game. Everything points to a draw but if Scott Brown wants to see his team continue to improve another narrow win for the Cods

 

[Tea Towel]

Probably the biggest game of the season tonight. We have to get 3 points.

Moore he made some big calls with the team. Dawson out Stockdale. Flint dropped, only 1 recognised centre back in the XI. Bakinson keeps his place despite being atrocious in his come back on Sunday (he wasn’t the only one). This could backfire massively.

 

[Greenacres]

I'm less than 10 miles from Whaddon Road...it is absolutely tipping down...hope they have decent drainage on their pitch or it could be another pointless trip to Gloucestershire for Wednesday!

 

[CTFCfan99]

Been a really good game so far, we've had the better chances but Wednesday look really dangerous on the break. Pitch seems to be holding up well, hope for an equally entertaining second half.

We must be watching different games, I think we’ve been shite. Created fuck all. We miss Byers and Windass massively.

True, you haven't created anything of note but it feels like the threat is there, you've had a couple of good breaks that were just missing the final ball and Bannan keeps finding himself in acres of space too.

 

[CTFCfan99]

Questionable defending but we'll take it!

 

[K-Win]

Wednesday in freefall?

 

[valefan16]

Ipswich look like they will be in the driving seat now.

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Bloody hell Wednesday, would that be 3 defeats in a row?

 

[CTFCfan99]

Wow what a performance this has been

 

[Tom_ITFC]

Wow!

 

[Essex2Wessex]

Bloody 'ell. Well done Cheltenham

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

A great week for Plymouth and Ipswich then! Who'd have seen that a week ago.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Not over yet it seems…

 

[Bartonyellow]

Infact a point now for Wednesday is not bad at all and keeps it in their own hands.
