I can see the residents now peeking through their net curtains, whispering to each other, here's that odd looking lad again, Betty, quick ring the police.
Yes, agree. But had they won their last 2 games they would have finished on 54 points and overtaken us.
The OP is talking in terms of how things impinge on the City.
There was another permutation while Colchester were still in with a shout, but as they drew last night, they now can't catch us, unless the impossible happens and they win against Preston and we lose and there is an 8 goal turnaround.
I know it may be tarring them all with the same brush, but I have them pictured in my head as sitting in their tatty armchairs in their underpants, scratching their balls, growling at their pitbull, who is either called Nosher or Satan, whilst eating Pot Noodle and watching The Only Way is Essex...
Yep. I'm sure they will 'look' gutted and have their heads in their hands and then it will be straight to the dressing room, empty their lockers and then straight off to their jet ski holidays in the Bahamas.
I'm sure once there they will be crying daily on the beach.
The difference is, we are crap and Preston are either the 2nd or 3rd best team in the league and are on the back of an 18 match unbeaten run.
Would say that is quite a substantial difference.
Yep. A draw would have been okay for both teams if Notts County and Colchester were losing, but if this result stands tonight Crawley will have to win. their goal difference is much worse than Colchester's.
Just think Preston have been the bridesmaids now far too often. When they make the play-offs they always fail. They will see this as a must win and I think they will have to play badly to bugger it up.
Preston to beat Colchester on Sunday.
If it stays like this is means Crawley have to win on Sunday doesn't it?
There was the chance previously that a draw might have been enough if Notts County lose, but now with Colchester leap frogging them, if this stays the same Crawley have to win.
