It really isn't - 5 in 7 is top notch and I think irrespective of where we end up he will be league 1 top goalscorer

I totally agree. McG used to miss as many if not more than he scored!

All teams below us (down to 15th) have a lot of games in hand. We need to make sure we make the most of other poor results around us.

Pos ........ Team ............Played .............Points ...........Points available in hand
7th......... City................. 31 .................. 47
8th ........ Yeovil.............. 28 .................. 45 ............... 9
9th ........ Notts C ........... 28 .................. 43 ............... 9

14th ...... Stevenage ....... 26 ................. 40 ................ 15
15th ...... Leyton Or. ....... 29 ................. 40 ................ 6

With the exception of Walsall and Orient, they could all overtake us mathematically.

Of course - but do it again assuming the're results over the last 10 games continue for their next few games and we will still be in top 10 and a form team going into the last 15 games - It's all on

I still think we will be 1 or 2 wins short but what a win tonight!!

3 of MK Dons games in hand are 2 vs Doncaster and 1 tomorrow vs Bournemouth so tough games for them
Yeovil game tomorrow is against Brentford, they lose that and then we beat them that puts us 5 points ahead of them and they only have 2 games in hand

I haven't looked at the fixtures, but I doubt they could all overtake us as a lot of the games in hand are going to be against each other so they are all going to be taking points off each other

I don't want to reopen the sky blue kit, sky blue seats debate, but I hope we keep the Brazil kit - or something similar - as our away strip for next season. We do seem to get results in it!

It'll be same colours, sure they said it'll be same for 2 seasons. But could be a different sponsor.

That's not particularly relevant. It is skewed by our shit start. If we continue our form over the last 4 months we will be in the top 6. Entirely in our hands.

Lost a few hundred against Preston, but not on a bad run. Put another £25 on us to win tonight at 5.8 Now if you would like a bet on me not having bets at good odds then make it a decent one and I will prove it. Your losing bet would go to charity. There are even a few on hete that have seen me doing my bets at games, although I don't feel as though I have anything to prove to someone like you

Can't be arsed to look into the fine detail...but I'm we have to play most of these teams so based on your "if" (they win their games in hand) theory...IF we beat them all - that'll help! Also, I'm pretty sure a lot will have to play each other too...so that might have a positive impact for us too.
It's all to play for...we just have to keep our strong form going.
Keep the faith! PUSB...MRSBA

I've done the bbc predictor thing to get the teams with games in hand over us up to how many we've played. I'm pretty sure I've done worst case scenario and from that we're down in 10 but only 5 points off the play offs with 15 to play. That's doable. As long as we keep our form up.

The games in hand situation is horrible on paper so I'd take 5 pts off play offs when everyone has caught up

Are u taken in to account some of these teams need to play each other and will also drop points. I believe it is totally in our hands keep playing well and pick up the points. We won't make the top 2 but on this form we will get to the play offs

Just got back from Sheffield, This was a massive night for us. We with stood their pressure in the second half and a real strikers winner. To be honest I thought Utd were the better team in the second half, but we are so reslienant now, I always back us to win. I the end we could have 3 or 4. Both Jennings and Thomas had great chances to put the game beyond them. Over brilliant performance, bring on Crewe!

I just got back too, we should have put away some chances in the first half and we could easily have lost it in the second. Great win at the end though! Don't want to be too cynical but Leon Clarke, although he was in the right place to score the two goals, was terrible at holding the ball up and I don't remember him winning a single header. Moussa, Thomas and Jennings all made some great driving runs towards the end and edge was great as usual. Motm, Jennings for me

Where is our Administrator Nick, who last posted in supreme negativity about us losing.....I know its CCFC, buts it's a sad day when the people who run this site can't bring themselves to be positive!
Surely its not too big a surprise that a team above us in the table, playing at home, improved after a poor first half and try to come back into the game? This is a game we would have lost previoulsy, so lets be happy and look forward to loads of draws tomorrow, except hopefully wins for Bury, Hartlepool and Carlisle!!

He was good today.

Edj is quickly becoming a weak link in our team, teams are targeting him and he can't handle it, another mare today.

I agree about Jennings! Seems to improve by the game!

Wouldnt say Edjenguele had a mare, but he is getting caught out abit more recently. Not sure if he needs to sit out a few games and watch from the sidelines and try and see what he needs to work on.

That said, Robins has recently said he notices mistakes etc, and that needs to change so i imagine he sits down with the Edge after games and shows him where hes got to improve.

'And during the leadership of Sir Bobby Robson, Gary Lineker was firmly instructed not to track back in to his own half for England. Robson knew that Lineker was an out and out goal scorer.

Further, Lee Chapman hardly contributed to a Leeds United's all round play, but had the rare knack of always being liable to score a goal from either cheek of his arse.

If Leon Clarke does no more than 'goal hang' for us for the next 2 years, we will be in a far better position than we are now.

Carlisle it was and not Preston

Knew it was a recent game. Some of us have to work for a living and having a hard night. I don't keep all wins and losses written down. How about a big wager to go with your big head? And if I don't post my big losses how do you know about them?
