Have they forgotten we're top of the league? We should be able to handle any version of Derby.

Have they forgotten we're top of the league? We should be able to handle any version of Derby.

They’re close though and have won 1 in 4 away so I understand their optimism

 

[Saddlebrains]

Agyemang worries me. Best striker in the league outside of Haji and Vipotnik. His pace would absolutely destroy Thomas and Kitching

Glad Szmodics is out good player, same if Brewster is out. Brereton Diaz doesnt worry me hes a 1 season wonder. Outside of that though il be honest ive got no idea why these are in the play off hunt, teams shite. Shows just how good a gaffer Eustace is

The 8pm ko means EMC & Lati will be less jet lagged, as it’ll feel like 3pm to them!
We might get 20 mins out of them if needed?

His minutes per goal is almost double Hajis.
And Hajis isn't as good as BTAs or Simms!

Am i right in thinking we could qualify for playoffs today if results went our way?

Let's hope so, eh.

That would be a fabulous achievement.

Baby steps mate

@chiefdave if you could have a word with your brother Storm about avoiding the match that’d be grand

 

[CraigSBA]

We will win our next 3

Hope so, think that's going to be the last game for me this season unfortunately (unless I can blag myself into away end at Watford somehow) so would be extremely lucky.

Well that was a long two weeks. Thank fuck match day is here!

I would be surprised if we won both today and Monday alongside Boro and Millwall dropping points in their two games, but it's been that kind of season. If we managed to seal it against Sheff W it would be like a weird reversal of going to watch us get annihilated at Southampton and they had a pitch invasion to celebrate back to back promotions.

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

What if the next couple of rounds of results weren't to go our way (hardly unimaginable) and the gap went down to about 5 points with 5 games to play? I can just picture the panic on here. I maintain that there's something wrong with that modelling.

This is Mutiny Mr Christian!!!

If they draw today and we win the next 3 thats that right ?

Just looked boro would need 6 from 6

Not mathematically I think but effectively due to GD. We’d be 12 ahead of Boro with 4 to play, right? Obviously could still lose the title but we’d effectively be promoted.

No wait 11 ahead if they draw

Hes scored the same as our 3rd highest scorer , everybody talking like hes pele

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I'd be ok with signing Agyemang for next season - only slight concern is his injury record.

If he's fit today, they may play him out wide v MVE (6'5" v 5' 9") so the aerial threat may be an issue. They'll start Morris at cfwd. Glad it's at our place, as I suspect they'll try sh*thousing us. Travis, Morris are both dirty gits, and we should get the home team sympathy from the ref!. Clarke, Morris and Agyemang will pose obvious threats from set pieces. That said, I'm relaxed as we'll go up, even if we get turned over today.

 

[covcity4life]

Can't shake feeling of 1-1 tonight

 

[edgy]

Not so much Agyemang's goal tally, its the type of striker we've struggled against. Strong powerful runner. Will cause us problems.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Just looked boro would need 6 from 6

They would need to draw the next two

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I love eustace hope they get top 6 winning 6 of their last 7 after tonight

If Frank leaves at some point, and we were able, I wouldn't mind Eustace as a replacement.

Was rumoured to be high on our list when Robins left. Wouldn't shock me if the club kept tabs

 

[shepardo01]

I'm already nervous about tonight....
A long bloody time until 8pm too!
