We won't lose, we never lose to Blackburn. Unsure whether it'll be a sleepy draw or whether we'll pinch it. I'll say the latter, the away support push us to a late win.

Technically we need it for both. I'm hopeful we'll get 3 points.

My maths suggests it's almost a statistical impossibility.
Millwall need to win 4-0, 4-0, 4-0, 5-0
12 points and improve GD by +17
CCFC would have to lose 0-4, 0-4, 0-4, 0-5
0 points and reduce GD by -17

Promotion is done. We want the title or the season will end on a sour note.

Millwall have only scored 4 goals, once all season, I think
CCFC have not once conceded more than 3 goals this season

All about top 2 but we’ve been top for so long we should win the title and the Lg1 title was during Covid so we couldn’t celebrate it properly

Which is why I said technically, in reality we don't need another point for promotion.
Title a bit harder to predict but I think 6 should do it

You'd play Torp RW?
Click to expand...
No. Adding Torp to the midfield in an advanced position away from home will give us a stranglehold on the game. Rudoni can play wider and freely roam. We don't have to play two wingers every game. It's a tweak and Torp has a goal threat of his own and dead ball specialist. I'm not suggesting he plays RW!

It was evident vs Sheff Weds that playing anyone other than a winger in RW wasn't working and hasn't worked all season. We've tried Rudoni in wide positions before and it nulifies his threat.

When you play against teams who sit behind the ball all game, adding more central players doesn't work. We sorely missed Sakamoto on Saturday because we had no width to stretch them. BTA went wondering about which left Milan to try and create the width but also left him in two minds due to a potential counter.

It has to be Esse or Markelo or we will see more of the same product.

3-0 win. Think we'll have too much and we'll end the season in style.

Sam Gallagher doesn't even play for them anymore and I'd still back him to score. Fucker always seems to pop up with a goal against us

skyblueiom, what is Jaks like? Seems I can reserve a table in there but I don't see the option in front porch - but you think the latter is better and may have some other sky blue fans there?

yeah, thats normally where we would go. if you want i can pop down and ask the geezer if he can show it? Jaks - i assume theyll show if there are no prem on at same time. I never tend to go there, but its a bit bigger and probably be busier for the 3pms.

You don't need to do that for me - but thank you for offer. I've had replies off both places now, front porch defo showing it but a live band on from 9 so that might be a bit annoying, not sure if that is in the same room or not! jaks not sure but say they should be!

This is the table immediately after that game (not that Wilson cheated in any event). We had played a game more and were a point behind.

Only winning 2 of their last 10 games was their problem! Just looking to find any excuse for their collapse after being in the top 6 for most of the season.

If Saka isnt fit start Esse for this one, thats probably the only change I’d make. I think we’ll be hungry after back to back 0-0s and I think we’ll score a few, 3-0 win with Rudoni, Ephron and Wright to score

He’s one of those who can change a game in a blink of an eye though. Would you drop him and who for?

I think his issue is that they missed out on PO's by goal difference that year and the Wilson goal cost them 2 points.

The fact that they played like dogshit for the last 2 months of the season has fuck all to do with it though, it's all Ben Wilson's cocks fault.

We cant drop him. Just when was the last time he put in a decent cross or shot though? He has looked knackered since the break and seems to just run into opposition players giving the ball away the last two games. It doesn't bode well if he continues to play for Jamaica

He can be left on the bench, give Markelo a run out and bring Ephron on later on.
