Given their result last night we owe it to Peterborough to play our strongest team and to try and get a result. I'm sure the EFL would take a dim view of wholesale changes being made.
I remember it well. Absolutely threw it down all day and the game was in doubt until the last minute. Perhaps that’s why the crowd was so low. Steve Jacobs scores a decent goal for us.
If we were to achieve the (near) impossible this season and reach the play offs, I would put it on a par with winning the last 3 games to stay up in 1985, probably slightly better.
Evidently not
Grigg was born into an Aston Villa-supporting family and supported the club up until the age of seven, when he joined Birmingham City and changed his allegiances
Actually Doncaster could draw the next 3 and we still be in with a shout if we win our 3. In all likelihood we will probably finish 5 to 6 points adrift. Not a bad effort, but frustrating given the recent results at home.
Might actually suit us to need a win in the last game. It usually doesn’t go too well when we are trying to hold onto something. Let’s face it, if we are to make the play offs it will go to the last minute of the final game!
There was an interesting interview with the Norwich manager who mentioned that last season they were top of the stats for passing and chances created but couldn’t convert so ended up 14th.
With a few tweaks they are now at the top end of the Championship. Perhaps some hope for us and parallels...
A couple I can remember from the early eighties were Jim Melrose scoring a hat trick v Everton in a 4-2 win and Rudi Kaiser scoring in the first 10 minutes of his home debut. Both did very little after that!
Partly agree, but also think we don’t need 2 deep lying midfielders. The gap from the front to the back is too big and consequently we end up playing a long ball forward with the ball coming straight back most of the time.
