The only thing is there, is that the Norwich v Ipswich game is on at the exact same time as ours, so we will only go 15 points ahead if they lose.

Would have been better if their game was later than our kickoff, because then a win for us would heap more pressure on them to win the game.

Yes it would have been better, but I added the points for the win solely for the purpose of showing how close to claiming the title we are. Like I said they are 12 points behind with 7 games to go. They need to win 4 out of 7 just to get the same points total as us. If we win tomorrow they need 5 wins out of 7 just to get the same points total.

If they don't beat Norwich away tomorrow we're potentially just 1 more game away from the title.

Click to expand...
Yeah, I know. Just can't get my head round that. Not with them playing at the same time. If we win and they have played at the same time, then how could that be beyond Ipswich's current points tally? Because currently would then be tomorrow and their tally, tomorrow.

That to me is like saying we will be 15 points clear and Ipswich don't have a game.

I do have a strangely functioning brain though.

You get what I mean? It's like currently, but based on if we win tomorrow. So, counting tomorrow's game, but it's currently now.

Which just blows my mind

One more day at work and my god it's going to drag. If Milwall drop points tonight, I'm planning on staying at the CBS or heading into Cov in case it's all mathematically confirmed after the Boro match. I've got a funny feeling tomorrow is going to be one of the very best days at the CBS. God I'm hyped!!

Think we'll see some changes.
Onyeka looked tired as did EMC, so maybe Markelo (if Esse is in for Saka) and Eccles in.
Wright had one of his disinterested looking games so Simms might start.
Torp was poor so Rudi to start if he's fit enough.
Saka was constantly holding his side after falling awkwardly when being fouled so maybe Esse?
Bobby potentially back so could replace Kitch?

Not saying all those changes will happen but I think some will

Frank will Want to get it done, the players will want to be part of it …. Very few changes !

You're not the only one

Because of my autism numbers come naturally. I can do simple sums as quickly as someone using a calculator. I can take in information and make calculations from it. It's easy for me.

But on the other side crap memory for names. I frequently can't remember the name of the village where I live. Some days I can't even remember the names of my own kids. If I can't see someone's face I can never work out if they're serious or taking the p1ss. That's just for starters

We should go with very similar line up as the one that beat them 5-0 which was
Rushworth
MVE Thomas Kitching Dasilva
Allen Grimes
BTA
Saka Wright EMC

Give Onyeka a rest
Torp in for Allen
Rudi or Eccles for BTA if he's not fit enough to start

I would play Lati to be honest. He's done so well for us.

I would play Eccles ahead of Torp too. Otherwise, as is

Think FTT does deserve a rest

We could well have the game in the bag by half time.

Then it would give a perfect opportunity for the likes of Markelo and KKH to get some decent game time

Tomorrow's game will probably be a win for us, but people thinking it could be a won by a lot of goals are not taking into account SW's recent results. Generally, they are losing by one or two goals and managing to score themselves. We might need to be patient tomorrow.

If Millwall don't win tonight, then we should keep the stadium open tomorrow and put the Boro game on the big screen. I know they can't but everyone would stay and Doug would make a nice few quid in beer sales.

I was thinking the same thing. Would be a damp squib though of Boro then went on and won.

There won't be many.

I would have assumed that the vast majority want us to be promoted as soon as remotely possible.

I really hope it's tomorrow.

Couldn't give a shit how any other teams results are going, just concentrating on ours.
We're top of the league by a good margin with 5 to go and if we continue like we have we'll go up as champions and then we can celebrate.
We've waited 25 years, fuck me we can wait another 25 minutes/days can't we?

I want them both to win all of their remaining games. They present no threat to us whatsoever, so unless people want Ipswich to finish 2nd I suggest they join me.

Ipswich are likely to cock up anyway, without Millwall or Boro's help.

They have 7 games left and 5 of those are away and they have a very tough game at Carrow Road tomorrow.

I think they just have too many games left now and are having to cram them all in
