When we're 2 down? ;) I think the fact TM took Barton off at half time and that this will be a physical battle, means we won't see him in the starting line up and Nouble has been so poor lately, he has to be dropped. Odelusi to me is rather clumsy and his first touch is poor, but he is strong...

Did you put an 'I' in there by mistake?

I see that as a good thing. He hasn't perhaps got the cynicism of some older players and has more of a point to want to prove. I know he's only 17, but if it was a straight choice between him and the likes of Frank Nouble, then you'd have to go for him wouldn't you? Nouble has been very, very...

Team for Sunday then. What do we reckon? Let's assume Willis and Pennington are out. Burge Philips Reda Martin Stokes Odelusi Fleck Ward O'Brien Tudgay Proschwitch That about right we think?

The biggest C word of all will be used by many City fans if we go down, believe me! And it's none of the ones you have mentioned.

He does. It's the one concern about him, but he does have lots of trickery about him and he can unlock defences.

Totally agree. I am convinced we will lose. We don't have the bottle for a game like this and whether you rate Adam Barton or you don't, this is not a game for the faint hearted and the likes of him would just have lumps kicked out of them and be intimidated out of the game. We need strong...

Yes, but only by bribing officials.

Oh yes of course. 5 or 6 nil then. Sorry, did I forget to put the minuses on the front?

5 points clear with just 2 games to go and you're at home against a side below you, when you are only needing a draw and then you find out you may then go down on the last day, is just crazy beyond words.

Yep. Would agree with that.

Philips still has many frailities. If only we had Philips' guile and Willis' strength combined into one player. Willis is very strong and physical and no nonsense, but his distribution is lacking. Philips is good on the ball but lacks strength.

Kick off!! See, that's exactly what I am taking about. Kick off!

This is how the Beeb sums it up; Colchester and Leyton Orient will join them if they fail to win their final games. Even if they do, they will go down if Crawley and Notts County win. If Colchester and Orient both fail to win, a draw will keep Crawley up if Notts County lose to Gillingham...

I don't care if we punch the ball into the net as long as the ref doesn't see it and awards the goal. I think if I were us I would be going out there to play as close to bending the rules as possible. Whatever it takes. niggle, harrass, intimidate, time waste, kick lumps, whatever. The history...

But that's fine, League 2 will be a walk in the park. We'll be beating everyone 3 or 4 nil every week.

Gillingham don't need to beat Notts County though, they only need to draw. Notts County have to win or draw. A win to catch us, a draw and we'd remain above them. A draw for them will ensure they are above Crawley if we win, as they are both on 50 pts at the moment. For us a draw will see us...

And of course Crawley too. We would have lost to them as well. So in recent weeks it would be, Orient, Crewe and Crawley.

Sort of? Was it deflected?

I know there's been a few posts here and there about us not getting many pens and also missing pens this year, but just wondered, have we scored directly from a free kick this season? I can't recall any at all.
