Re: The final run in.
Yesterday was a great result but as JC said all we did was win 1 game and with 10 games still to go we shouldn't start thinking that we have as good as made it to League 1.
I am a pessimist but I am quietly hopeful.

Re: The final run in.
We have the toughest run in but none tougher than yesterday. 10 games to go, any of the top six who get 20 points from those games will go up. C'mon Stanley.

Re: The final run in.
Both Hughes and Dunne cleared off the line on sat with great clearances, these lads kept us alive yet little mention, as someone said, plenty of unsung heroes in our lads also.

Re: The final run in.
The run in might suit us.
Firstly, win a game against a rival and it's a massive blow to them. If we played, say Notts Co tomorrow and beat them they would surely be out of it.
Secondly, if we lost to one of our rivals then you can shrug it off on the basis of "you can't win them all" and move on to the next big match.
Thirdly, are any of our rivals actually that good? Luton are still the only team I've seen who have stood out. The rest aren't much better than mid table teams are they?
Nowt worse than starting to struggle against some really mediocre teams and losing confidence.

Re: The final run in.
It was home draws against average and mediocre sides in the latter months that cost us promotion 2 years ago, along with the party before the game on the final day which led to a nervous and fairly quite atmosphere in the ground with few attacks until the end of the game.
I think the pitch took some of the blame for dropping points at home and it was immediately rectified that summer.
According to the bookies we are 1/7 for promotion which is 80% certain taking out their margin, but we were about 1/3 before High Wycombe and about 1/6 on the last day in 2016.
Next up Mansfield away to Notts C, and the stags are home to Stanley and away to Luton in the next four with Flitcroft currently showing his Bury form.
Notts have Stanley and Wycombe soon as well as the stags, last game home to the Hatters. I think these two Notts sides have the worst run ins, with Luton and Wycombe being sightly better of than Stanley, with the last 3 going up.

Re: The final run in.
Think 80% is wrong, i'd say 85%.

Re: The final run in.
Coventry have a nice run in. Dark horses for third automatic. Might change my mind after tonight.

I certainly hope not things are always the hard way for us, but we shall overcome. At least all our lads should be fit and not injured hopefully.

Wonder if Somerset finds this postponement "disgusting"?

Re: The final run in.
It's like the ref playing advantage & then changing his mind & dragging play back . . . . . so frustrating!
