Even if we don't get it done tonight, a draw in either of our last 2 games will probably be enough.

If? I thought we were winning 5-0?

 

[Indian Dan]

Only 5?

 

[Devon_Lad]

We are. I was replying to the idea that it would be squeaky bum time in the non-existent scenario that we don't win tonight.

I've lumped on 4-0, to be fair. So backtracking a little on the 5-0 prediction. 20/1 with Bet365, basically printing money if you ask me (which you're not).

Would take a draw now to be honest. It's almost certainly enough to see us up.

I'll take an Exeter win please.
This will keep yourselves and FGR fighting it out for top spot against our promotion rivals in the final games

I wouldn't. A draw is pretty pointless. If we lose a point against Vale or Northampton should do it, barring Mansfield banging in 12 goals in three games.
If we draw tonight and lose the other two, they will go ahead of us by winning their other games.

Good time to play FGR tonight, it would have been perfect if they were already champions but a bit of a celebration over the weekend hopefully has a negative effect on them.

It will be interesting to see if Ward continues in goal, he was man of the match at their place. 2 key players are McKirdy and Egbo, the latter has come into the side and looks a dangerous attack minded player. Given FGR have dangerous wing backs themselves Garner may go cautious and go with Odimayo and leave Egbo on the bench.

We have to ignore the previous home form and look to play with intensity on the front foot. Last chance saloon for us, let's give it a good shot.

 

[Strawberry_Jam]

4x away wins please

 

[kieran_vale]

Be curious to see how FGR tackle this tonight. I’ve always felt winning the league is more a nice to have but promotion however it comes is the target and now they’ve achieved that will they just relax too much. May well be the case Swindon beat them anyway as they are a good side themselves

Stand up comedian Ivo Graham is doing our co-comms tonight.

no Josh Kay (suspended) or Aaron Amadi Holloway injured (his groin(?)) on Saturday

Hard to say, we've made all the right noises and obviously picked a strong team but this is uncharted territory, the last time we were promoted with games to spare was in 96/97 from the Southern League Southern Division when we were promoted alongside St Leonards Stamcroft!

Stubbs back which is great, but we have to play Phillips due to Barrow's intransigence

it's an EFL rule i believe...

Hardly gonna let him play are they. What if they injured their own player unnecessarily

 

[chipmunx]

well this will either be really tight - or Devon_Lad will be right.... please guys don't let that happen!

 

[Stripes]

If we can avoid conceding early that will help, but I think we'd need to be 2-up come half time to be in with a chance of a point, because natural tiredness will intervene later no doubt about that. Can't complain if we lose after Saturday's monumental efforts. All you can do is hope for the best.

 

[BarraMatt]

Hahaha we've just scored a throw in.

 

[kieran_vale]

Oh my good start for Barrow, Exeter should still win you’d think.

Sutton off like a train against Crawley as well. Almost them confirmed for the playoffs.

 

[Super_horns]

Sutton looking they mean business !

 

[ExeterDan]

Well bother, that was unlucky

 

[Super_horns]

Hahaha we've just scored a throw in.

Goalie error ?

 

[BarraMatt]

Exeter defenders and keeper didn't deal with it to put it simply.

 

[kieran_vale]

Swindon now 1-0 up. Huge goal for them.

 

[coronakopite]

This is so much fun Devon_Lad

Almost wishing I'd stumped up for an iFollow pass.

Radio Cumbria placed their effects mic well. 100 Barra fans clearly outsinging 8,000 Grecians.

Battle of Thermopylae !!!!

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Well this is all rather shit so far...

 

[ExeterDan]

Goalie error ?

Defenders should have dealt with it, but no one touched it before it hit the post. If it had gone in from there it would have been disallowed, but it bounced off the keeper and in.

 

[ExeterDan]

Settling into our usual pattern of having all the possession and a bunch of shots, but can't score.

 

[ExeterDan]

Boom! Apparently we can both do fluke goals.

 

[BarraMatt]

Jammy goals galore in this game.
