siparker06 Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 I bet you guys must be enjoying yourselves tonight, the best feeling for weeks and you didn't even play. I'm now trying to work out whether I want you or Leeds to win on Monday, as a win for you would almost shake Leeds of our tales, and a win for Leeds will keep the title race alive. I think that I will go for a draw, and both of you to lose tomorrow!! But in all seriousness, promotion is only 8 points away for you, and the title 11 with your goal difference. We should have won to push you even closer, but coupling this week with last I think 4 points is a fair reflection. Good luck over the weekend, and lets try and find a way that we can win the league, you can go up, and Leeds fail in the play-offs again.

P'boro deserve to go up as runners up in my opinion, they have been in fantastic form over the last 2 months. Leicester champions, p'boro runners up and leeds lose in the playoff final will do just fine fo me thank you.
Legend_in_blue Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 Our objective does not change. Win three games. Do that and P'boro need to win all of their remaining games. Tough ask.

It's what happens, I guess, when you are out in front but other teams have games in hand. Watching them fail to win is almost as good as watching your own team win. Hence why a few handfuls of city fans were giving Cheltenham fans a hand today.

Ultra Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 ive been trying to find a cheltenham board to thank them personally...no luck yet. There you go..
MPH Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 The delightful thing for me isnt that Peterborough drew but that Milwall Lost!! Not worried that MK won as the Gap is that little bit wider now - less pressure on us to go and perform..
Thracian Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 The delightful thing for me isnt that Peterborough drew but that Milwall Lost!! Not worried that MK won as the Gap is that little bit wider now - less pressure on us to go and perform.. I don't know about less pressure but there's certainly added incentive to perform. Why we should remain so damned inhibited I just don't know. We need to play to our strengths and those strengths are in attack. Especially now.
CosbehFox Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 I bet you guys must be enjoying yourselves tonight, the best feeling for weeks and you didn't even play. I was dancing around the aisles at Gigg Lane when Cheltenham's goal came through. I felt more nervous as 90 approached there without seeing the respective games I was worried about then any other time this season. fair play mate...sounds like joe lewis cost your boys the chance to spend 24 hours at the top... If you've read the reports or seen the highlights, they had some luck in recent weeks and eventually it swings back.
lefox Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 Pressure is a telling factor, we have less tomorrow so the players should hopefully perform. Not just that but the pressure on teams like cheltenham, yeovil etc are coming through for us, they'll want to play out of their skins. I know posh were all over cheltenham, but a dogged performance was fair play. Posh and millwall have to play each other, so a draw or win for posh takes millwall out of the equation. leeds stumbling, millwall don't look so good... Dons are the ones to watch now, game in hand over millwall and 1 point behind them. They only really have scunny to play, possibly northampton as they are fighting down there, maybe hereford but we'll know more about them tomorrow. For crying out loud Leicester a win tomorrow... just win. I don't care if we are 1st or 2nd.. lets just get there. Interestingly and maybe a betting person might go for Tranmere to pip scunny.. scunny have us, mk dons and tranmere to play. Tranny have scunny and leeds... tighter than it looks there.. depends if tranny can start winning away from home!
lefox Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 Just realised also we don't necesarilly have the 'point' advantage as there goal difference isn't a mile away from ours... PERP

More on Monday would be very welcome, expecially if it confirms our promotion.
carterfox90 Posted 11 April 2009 Posted 11 April 2009 got in from work late i could not believe my eyes when i checked the results & find we are still top great news if does'nt spur the players on tomorrow nothing will nice to be top still feels great & we did'nt even play :thumbup:
AyewJoking Posted 11 April 2009 Posted 11 April 2009 We're very lucky. Who'd have thought that flying Peterborough would drop points at home against doomed Cheltenham. Just as unlikely, Millwall would lose at Yeovil. Its sods law we will either lose or draw against Hereford but if yesterdays results didnt motivate our players then something is very wrong.
teblin Posted 11 April 2009 Posted 11 April 2009 We are due a win, and a good run, lets hope it comes at the best time possible. It has always been advantage foxes as its been in our own hands, it just we have the chance to do it sooner now.
