davieG Posted 10 April 2009 Author Posted 10 April 2009 The mind's a funny old thing, we have teams like Leicester in a commanding position getting nervy and teams that are chasing all positive that they can catch up. From the FL site. Posted on: 10.04.2009 LIONS LOOKING UPWARDS As the final straight of the Coca-Cola League 1 promotion race comes into sight Leicester City and Peterborough United look set to finish in the top two places - but don't bet against Millwall, says Lions defender Tony Craig. Ahead of their Easter meetings with relegation threatened Yeovil Town and Peterborough, the third in the table Lions are five points behind the two automatic promotion places with just five games remaining. They are almost guaranteed a Play-Off place but, says Craig, their ambitions are set higher than that. "We can still make a top two finish and the players all believe we can do it," insists the 23 year-old defender. "We may have to win every match, but if we can get the results we want over the Easter weekend that will set us up nicely for our last three games against Bristol Rovers, Leyton Orient and Carlisle. "We know we've got a tough weekend in front of us, though. Yeovil are near the bottom of the table, but they've put a good little run together over their last few games and it's going to be difficult for us at their place. "Peterborough at home on Monday should be a great game. They've done really well this season after promotion from League 2 and they're on a fantastic run (seven straight wins), so it's going to be a real challenge - but we'll be up for it."

Cobbo Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 Mk Dons 1-0 up against Sarfend. Mark Wright with a header.
davieG Posted 10 April 2009 Author Posted 10 April 2009 Mk Dons 1-0 up against Sarfend.Mark Wright with a header. This could be good for us, hopefully Southend's play off chances will be over by the time we play them.
Craig Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 Am i right in thinking if millwall lose to yeovil today we''l be promited if we win are next 2? No, as Dons are currently winning.
maddog Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 I've just noticed Mk Dons are 1-0 up with 10 minutes left 1 oclock kick off on a Friday wtf
maddog Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 A win for the Dons here will keep their slim hopes of catching us. Would it if Southend can get a goal, that will effectivly end Don's challenge to the top 2.
maddog Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 2-0 Dons, we're not going up vs Leeds then. Not if the Dons beat Brovers on Monday.
Craig Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 Not if the Dons beat Brovers on Monday. Well wether they do or not, they kick off after us. So we won't be promoted vs Leeds.

Matt Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 Who text? Come on Cheltenham, Love from your friends in Leicester
Matt Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 Lets hope this make Cheltenham come out and attack, Sounds like sit back and defend for 90 minutes tactics. C'mon Cheltenham - I can't see you drawing, let alone winning, but C'mon Cheltenham. Having said that looking back a month or so ago...Why the fook are we relying on Cheltenham to do us a favour?
