Need Sunderland to blow their game in hand, to have Any hope..

Looking at the fixtures that remain, the outcome of this season is going to be tight.

Plymouth far from certain now - Wednesday will do it but now possible to claw above Wycombe & Plymouth

 

[Jolteon]

We've now bettered last season's points tally with two games remaining.

Gone forwards?

 

[ubermeistervonmeat]

Time to trigger Bodins extra year, would rather keep him than Henry (who has been a great player for us!)

whats wrong with both

 

[Oxford1996]

Credit to Karl Robinson tonight.

Whatever he said at half time worked & the subs were at the perfect times in the second half.

That’s been missing from him the last month but today was spot on.

Looking at the fixtures that remain, the outcome of this season is going to be tight.

Saturday has 3 top games now - ours plus Wigan Plymouth & Wycombe Wednesday

 

[tonyw]

In other good news, Ipswich held Wigan today, which means the Latics still need one more win for automatic promotion.

Their last home game is on Saturday, and it's Plymouth coming to town. Extra incentive for them to do us a favour.

If we can beat Rotherham (still a big 'if') then it's definitely still on this year. At the very least, will be an epic final day.

[weirdly, if we do beat Rotherham, I can also see Wednesday coming from nowhere and stealing that second automatic spot. They're the form team and arguably have the easiest run-in of the contenders]

 

[tonyw]

Need Sunderland to blow their game in hand, to have Any hope..

Not really.

We're much more likely to catch Plymouth and Wycombe, given the form they're in and who they have left to play.

Sunderland blowing it would just be a nice alternative route to get in!

 

[southcoastyellow]

whats wrong with both

Injury risk, similar style players, Bodin younger

 

[Johnox37en]

Who would have thought it at halftime, its certainly a game of two halves. So impressed with KR's interview and think we are lucky to have him as manager. COYY

 

[OX14]

Need Sunderland to blow their game in hand, to have Any hope..

Not necessarily.

If and its still a big if we win both of our remaining 2 games

Plymouth will need to win one of their remaining games against Wigan away or MK dons at home. 2 draws we would still pip them on GD

Wycombe will need 2 wins from their 2 remaining games. Sheff Wed at home and Burton away. Draw one and win one we would pip them.on GD.

Putting pressure on the ones above is all we can do !

 

[Wandering Yellow]

If Brannagan didn't get injured we would have cruised into the play offs

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

We've now bettered last season's points tally with two games remaining.

Gone forwards?

Absolutely.

Credit to the lads for not giving up on the playoffs, pressure does funny things to people and we're applying the pressure at least.

Now to look up trains to Rotherham!!

 

[Northstandboy]

Need Sunderland to blow their game in hand, to have Any hope..

And we beat Rotherham!

 

[Sheik djibouti]

If Brannagan didn't get injured we would have cruised into the play offs

And if Baldock, Browne and Moore hadn't been injured, we'd be challenging autos right now....

 

[Northstandboy]

At half time I have to admit I thought we'd lose, MK seems very organised. That clearance from Brown was a game changer!

But we came out fighting. I thought Matty's miss would come back to haunt us, but didn't!

 

[NorthWestOx]

And we beat Rotherham!

And not forgetting Doncaster!

Rotherham subbed Barlaser on 38 minutes tonight, no indication of an injury, so all may not be well in the Rotherham camp.

 

[OX14]

And if Baldock, Browne and Moore hadn't been injured, we'd be challenging autos right now....

Yep, but that just highlights while we've been slightly unlucky with injuries this season, if we had a slightly better depth in squad especially back four and another striker we would of been right up there.

At half time I have to admit I thought we'd lose, MK seems very organised. That clearance from Brown was a game changer!

But we came out fighting. I thought Matty's miss would come back to haunt us, but didn't!

We rode our luck for a change, but also made our luck and deserved the win for that second half performance.
