cityexile Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 At the risk of taking some flak, I am wandering down to this one, to get out of the house for a couple of hours. If anyone flicks over to their player bored when we are five up, and hears a lonely round of 'come on you draw', you know who it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBrizzleRobin Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yep agree, the players and manager will give everything at Crawley as they will be well aware of the situation and will want to get this league sown up asap. This. I'd dearly love to get it sown up the game before we play Swindon, purely so they'll have to give us a guard of honour when we play It's very unlikely to happen unforunately. A draw between PNE and MK would be best, as whatever our result against Crawley they can't gain more than a point on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coombsy Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Dreyfuss First Team Join Date May 2009 Posts 1,027 Bristol only need to win 9 of their last 16 games to end up with 91 pts. They will be confident they will be able to acheive that points tally at the very least, considering their form this season. (8 wins, 3 draws, 5 defeats would do it) Just looking at the league table this season, I think for PNE to acheive 2nd spot we need to aim for a minimum 89 points. Basically 36 pts from the next 17 games. A very difficult task to be honest. Something along the lines of 11 wins, 3 draws with 3 defeats. We need to win games. Draws are not gonna be enough if we want automatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it will happen, BUT the ref would instruct Swindle to do so ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTR Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 They should form a guard of honour by lining up in two rows,each player having one arm raised, waving an imaginary red card and nodding their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveybadger Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Not trying to be contrary, but if it was anybody but the franchise and they were in exactly the same position as the franchise are, i would want them to beat PNE. The latter has a game in hand which even if they win puts them 10 behind us in 2nd (if we beat Crawley), with the Franchise 11 behind in 3rd. Still good and better for us to finish top.

ChippenhamRed Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Us to win. Any other teams results are irelivant to me Why do people say this? Are you honestly saying you won't be checking our rivals scores at full time? Quite clearly other teams results are very relevant to us at this stage of the season.

JammyOne Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Draw. Has to be. If they draw and we win, we'll be 12 points clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croax Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Currently 11 points clear. If we take a modest 16 points from our remaining 12 games that will put us on 27 points clear. MK Will need to win 9 of their remaining 12 games just to be on level points! Draw for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 We need to worry about beating Crawley first, but if we do that, then obviously a draw would suit us best, as it builds that cushion which we may need during our tricky looking April. For me; anything that means we can go to Preston away and know that a draw would keep us at least four points ahead of whatever team is closest is good. Much like with MK away; being able to take the 'weight' off any potential 'six pointers' is good as it leaves all the pressure on the opposition.

Port Said Red Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 No!! I want the title! Never happened in 50 years watching City - and this is the best chance, and probably in the next 50! You and me both Dave, i think we should get on the pitch to celebrate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 They have met 7 times and 6 have been draws. 12/5 best odds for a draw so lump on The stats are inteteresting. PNE have played MK only three times at MK, winning the first in 2011-12 by 0-1. Followed by two draws. At Preston, all four games have been drawn. Looks as close to a banker draw as any game this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southport Red Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Only just noticed, our goal difference is now better than Franchise Top scorers in the league, most points and best GD. Other than that, we don't really deserve to be top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilligaf Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 0-0, 7 men sent off, fines for bring the league into disrepute, and a points deduction to boot Don't forget a few injuries thrown in for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
