Kusunga_Is_God Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Right then. Christ. This is massive. Their form isn’t great, if we go there with the same attacking mentality as we went with today I think we can get a positive result. How many are now thinking of going?

Will also show how absolutely dross this league is!!! Fingers crossed! By my maths 2 draws over our next 2 games can mean it goes to the final day. The only way 2 draws wouldn't be enough is if Newport win on Saturday, they've got Lincoln at home. However, if we beat Exeter but Newport beat both us and Lincoln, we can't catch Newport. If we lose at Exeter it's done too, no matter the results we get against Newport and Northampton. 3 wins and we are in. No matter what. That should be the focus of every fan and staff member.

daniel Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 3 of us going after today, all of us going to Newport if we win Saturday also. Fuckle bunch.

the_mighty_bosh Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Me, my girlfriend and my dad will be in the away end. My brother (season ticket holder) and mates will be in the Big Bank. On a personal level it's brilliant that the game between the two teams is such a crucial one for both teams, but I hope we smash them. It will be a tight game. Their defence is OK but not impregnable, midfield is their strongest area, but while Surridge has been a loss to us Lang has softened the blow, losing Stockley has been a much bigger loss for them. Bowman has scored a few recently and is a hard working target man, but their threat has certainly diminished since our last meeting. Law, Boateng and Holmes will be their biggest threats but all from midfield. We have to start with the same XI as today and 4-2-3-1 with Missilou and Sylla protecting the back 4 will have us well prepared. If we need to break the deadlock in the 2nd half then Baxter, Dearnley, Branger and Dapo are options that can be used, but being solid and professional is what's needed first and foremost. Today's team can provide that. Absolutely can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, if any of you are flying down bus 56 takes you straight from the airport to the City Centre, the ground is about a 5 to 10 min walk from there.

latics22 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 They’re in terrible form so we know what’s coming, poor form normally means they beat us. We seem a bit more resilient these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornishblue Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I was so hoping that we would still have something to play for when this fixture was pulled out the hat. low and behold it’s only become the biggest game of the season. Massive week ahead let’s kick on with 3 points Saturday. 2 tickets bought this morning from the Latics exiles in Plymouth. Train all booked can’t bloody wait. “C’mon you Blues” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspectormorose Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 In the midst of negotiating use of the nieces car as mine's in the garage for repairs. We're currently at her brother, my wingman, getting her dad to take her shopping Saturday morning and we pay for her taxi to and from work in the afternoon with potential flowers and Sunday lunch thrown in when we get back...... We're moving on to sorting Brexit on Monday. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
