See you at home to Hartlepool then, mate.

They need to learn to let go. It's like a bloke I used to work with, who hated all Americans. He used to go mad when anyone mentioned anything American, or if an American customer ever came in. I asked someone else why his hatred of Americans and they told me it was because his wife had an...

I was going to mention this on the Crawley thread. Trouble is he was injured in the warm up on Saturday, so I would say he would be a doubt. Certainly a stonger midfielder than Adam Barton, with a much better engine.

Crewe looked a very poor side. Just shows to what level we had to stoop to look so much worse than they did.

What are they going to show in Tyne an Wear, a repeat of Dad's Army?

Good question. I don't believe we have. I certainly can't recall a game where that has happened.

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...
