22A Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 OK folks, the likes of Bradford, Coventry & Crawley etc are playing tonight. Which set of results do we all want? The teams below us to win so those above City can be overtaken in the next few weeks? Then again, let those ahead go on and have those beneath City lose so as to consolidate our current position?

I think we still need to keep an eye on teams below us until we get to 50 points. So I would take these Cov v Brad Draw Port Vale v Crawley Draw Sheff U v Brentford Away win Stevanage v Wolves Away Win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would take these Cov v Brad Draw Port Vale v Crawley Draw Sheff U v Brentford Away win Stevanage v Wolves Away Win. Those four results would give you a decent return on an accumulator or even a Yankee. In fact I'm thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Let's just focus on being mathmatically safe before we start willing the teams below us to win...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb6162 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Looking at all the fixtures remaining, and doing an exercise on current form, i am now struggling to come up with a permutation that gets 4 sides below us above 50 points, or even to 50 points for the first time, and maybe its just the way the fixtures are, i think 51 points definitely get you safe. based on that, and goal difference, 2 wins is enough or one win and two draws from the remaining six my banker for those points is home to Crewe 3 and a draw v Notts county 1 and draw at Walsall.1 At the latest we will be safe by the 26th April if not before depending on other results if we achieve the above. Stevenage result the week before could make it happen quicker, but may not be needed anyway. Its all about Crewe Notts County and Walsall for me don't want to go to Crawley needing anything and i am not banking on a result v Preston although on current form we could easily get a draw saturday making life more comfortable basically beat Preston and its a done deal for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Because they're English & playing a German team? What other result should we want??The manc fans don't see themselves as English (football wise) hence the anti England songs sung quite frequently , especially at away games. As far as i'm concerned they can rot. Manc *****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Port vale just scored another, now 2-1 up against Crawley. Everyone else 0-0 That will do us. Most importantly we are 7 points above stevenage (practically 8 points with goal difference) and 6 points above 21st (7 with goal difference). Crawley are still behind us (albeit on goal difference and with 3 games still in hand), and Bradford and Coventry are in 12th and 13th only 3 points above us so top half finish is still possible!

Rich-TWSC- Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm over-the-moon that Swindon's season isn't over but it's all a bit of a tease. Although there's some way to go, Wolves and Brentford are up and three of the four Play-Off places are locked in. I don't anticipate Peterborough to slip up to the extent that little ol' Swindon, Walsall, MK Dons, Port Vale and Sheffield United can capitalise either. Relegation battle looks tight, I'm glad I've had another year well clear of all that business. Elsewhere, Rovers are not getting out of that dogfight are they? I think it'll be Torquay and Wycombe that go but I'd chortle if Rovers dropped in to Non-League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
