They are not a pub team.

The are the most one-dimensional club I have ever see. I feel sorry for Wycombe fans, it was bad enough me having to watch that rubbish at the Ricoh. They have it week in, week out.

OK, it gets results, but really???

Their ground is one of very few missing from my list of grounds, but I refused to pay to watch that.

Had to read that twice, cos was sure you had said 5 points is double and wondered when this rule change had come in.

Wycombe do have Notts County, Lincoln and Accrington coming up, so maybe a chance to claw some points back there.

Looking at their fixtures thry still have to play Notts away, accy at home, and Lincoln away.

And they play chesterfield/Grimsby away.

So can see them dropping points for sure.

Notts County must be crapping it. Everyone below them has a game in hand and they have to play us, Accrington and Wycombe in the space of 7 days.

Think they may have blown it.

They were flying earlier in the campaign.

Angry Kevin Nolan will be even angrier tonight now.

We are going to have to win at least 6 more from 9 to have an outside chance more likely 7 wins now. Bollocks!

If I've looked at the table right, then looking at the last five games played for all of the top 9 teams only Acc Stan's form is better than us. Of the other teams 8 (excluding Acc Stan) only us and Mansfield are unbeaten in the last 5 games and Mansfield have had 4 draws and just 1 win whereas we've had 3 wins and 2 draws. Our form may not be scintillating but if we can keep it going then playoffs should be fine and auto could still be possible of others slip up.

Yeah, exactly what I have been saying too.

Playoffs should be there now for the taking. Automatics I believe will only happen if others slip up.

Still a few scenes to be played out yet and a few key matchups to be had.

Well you would be if it was Akela. In fact we all would be in the same group.

Maybe she was just your kela though. My kela was different.

Sido Jombati - 3-1 to Wycombe (I've always said he was a great player ?@%$?!?)
Click to expand...

You jest, but he was a stand out player at Bath City and always looked like a prospect who could do it in the league! I kept an eye on him cos of his funky name and the fact that you don't get many ex-Sporting Lisbon players kicking around the English nonleague scene...

These are this weekend's fixtures.

Notts County don't play til Sunday, so a win will edge us closer and put a lot more pressure upon them going into their game at Chesterfield.

Exeter play Swindon and Mansfield might possibly find it tough at Forest Green.

Nope.

Accrington Stanley can confirm that our fixture with Yeovil Town on Saturday 24th March due to take place at the Wham Stadium has been postponed due to the visiting club’s International Call-Ups.

Accrington Stanley and Yeovil Town have already agreed a rearranged date with the Sky Bet League Two game now to be played on Tuesday 17th April with kick-off at 7:45pm.

I'd say that's now the autos gone, and our poor form and the dropped points against the bottom teams are hugely to blame. Whilst Wycombe have a tougher run in and we have a game in hand, them getting just 12 points from their remaining 8 games will mean we need to win at 7 of our remaining 9 games. Its still really tight below us with Swindon and Lincoln just 1 point behind.

Saturday is another must win, we're getting to the business end of the season we can't afford to drop points.

respectfully disagree. you said autos were gone after luton draw iirc

win our game in hand and its 5 pts so its clearly not gone. in 2 matchdays we could be 3rd and there are 9 to play

not saying we will do it but autos are in no way gone

Agree re the dropped points earlier in season v teams at bottom end but also the 2 dropped v Luton the other week was a huge blow

Agree with that.

It is where we will look back on the goalkeeping howlers, the refusing to attack teams and go for the win.

This is where teams like Wycombe will benefit as they have picked up points and scored goals against teams at the bottom and have won a few games in the dying minutes by going all out where we have sat happy with the draw.

Either that or they need to look at slightly stronger footballing nations in future.

We need to score more goals away from home.
MR must go for it and be attack minded
Apart from points (obviously) I think goal difference could play a crucial role before the season is over.

The two games which concern me most are Newport away and Crawley away, I think we will be ok in the other games
