A Horse With No Name Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Given the fact that we are four points clear of Forest, with four to play, how is this for a very possible finish to the season? City to beat Yeovil, and to draw at Carlisle and Millwall, which on the face of it would be an excellent return from three very tricky matches. I for one, would be relatively happy with that. If Forest were to win their next three games, which again is very possible with the strugglers they are facing, the goal difference between us would be pretty much identical. It would then be all square going into the final game of the season, and with us at home to Rotherham, who should be relegated by then, I fancy our chances big time.Many people would see a win and two draws from our next three games as a poor return, but remember, if that happens, Forest only have to fail to win one of their next three, and that should see us up. One thing is for sure, that last day is going to be a very emotional one, one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Casual Connoisseur Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I will take a win and two draws now.I think that it is definately possible that we could get 5 points by scoring 1 goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCAGFC Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 We must be in a position entering the Rotherham game where a point will be enough as the pressure of needing a win on the last day may just be too much for our young/inexperienced/non goalscoring stuttering team.Wasn't it Blackpool a couple of seasons ago who sneaked a draw at AG after Christian Roberts put us 2-0 up on the last day.BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulie Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 What about Blackpool!!!!I'm trying not to think to much about blackpool,my brain is almost in shutdown mode now thinking about forest,goals are what we need,what id like to see is our forwards running straight into the box and taking on defenders,then theres always a chance one of them will stick there leg out and then you get a penalty ,,all this playing tiddily winks around the box is frustrating to say the least ,I'm pretty sure gj has got something up his sleeve for the next few matches,id like to be a fly on a goalpost at the training ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City to beat Yeovil, and to draw at Carlisle and Millwall, which on the face of it would be an excellent return from three very tricky matches. I for one, would be relatively happy with that.On current form I'd be bloody delerious If Forest were to win their next three games, which again is very possible with the strugglers they are facing, the goal difference between us would be pretty much identical. It would then be all square going into the final game of the season, and with us at home to Rotherham, who should be relegated by then, I fancy our chances big time.So did Forest and they drew 1-1 and could have lost.Having said that Forest are as likely to win their last four as we are, although, once again in theory they have easier games.......just like playing the bottom club in Rotherham.Many people would see a win and two draws from our next three games as a poor return, but remember, if that happens, Forest only have to fail to win one of their next three, and that should see us up. One thing is for sure, that last day is going to be a very emotional one, one way or the other.I think most people would bite your hand off for five points out of the next nine and our fate in our hands on the last day of the season.

andy g Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I think this just proves that the promotion race is wide open and that we certainly cant rely on other teams losing.The only way we can guarantee promotion is to lift our performances and win our remaining games.If we carry on as we have done recently, we're just inviting trouble.

Will Rollason Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 what nobody seems to talk about is scunny's form. They are wobbling as well and have to play Hudd ( h) who have a new manager to impress, Tranny (a) ( never easy), Blackpool (a) who are the form team and carlisle( h), another form team looking for the play offs.... taking it up to the last game i think most of us would be pleased at the mo with 5 points from yeovile, carlisle and millwall. I can se scunny only getting 2pts from hudd, tranny and pool, really, i think they have run out of steam. Blackpool, then, to get 7 out of 9pts and the trees have 3 games against teams in the bottom seven !!one of which is already relegated!!! However, they are crap too so i will give them 7 out of 9pts as well..scunny.......84...(32)Trees.........81...(21)City...........81...(20)pool...........78...(20)this scenario promotes Scunny last day whatever happens unless someone scores 12-13 goals, and leaves us having towin by more than trees, which as has already been mentioned, looks unlikely at the mo..... hold tight people its going to be a rocky ride....

Well, I had them beating Brentford I think. Losign away to Leyton Orient(they've already done that once), losing to Bournemouth (who are one of the form teams at the moment) and I forget the otehr results.
