Big Red Rich Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 I can remember the last time we got promoted, Man City came past us the other way. Now Leeds have been condemned to relegation (as if it were ever in doubt) by going into administration. Back then we missed a nice day out at Maine Road and instead their game against Rovers was the first ever PayPerView game I seem to recall. Well, the next season we went down and they went up via the playoffs and next season Leeds are clearly going to be strong contenders for promotion along with the usual suspects and one surprise team i.e. like Scunthorpe were this season.This team does not have another 4 wins in it, not by a long shot with wasters like Betsy playing so tommorow HAS to be the day - there is no way we will make it through the playoffs or be runaway winners of league one next season.Lets hope we miss out on another nice day out in Leeds and instead go to places like Molineux, Hawthorns, Upton Park etc etc................Come on you reds!

Guest DanC Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 There is no must about it. We have no divine right to go up and any promotion must be earned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Red Rich Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 There is no must about it. We have no divine right to go up and any promotion must be earned.I didn't say we have a divine right, what I'm saying is that tommorow is the only chance we will have to go up as I don't think we will stand a chance in the playoffs or next season. Bit of a nieve post Rich. Your looking on past statistics and we cant compare the past to the present.It wasn't meant to be naive, simply noting that the last time we got promoted we swapped places with a former large premiership side - maybe its a good omen that Leeds have been relegated? I stand by what I said, this side will fail in the playoffs and next season will be another unknown quantity so we have to have a big performance from the lads tommorow - heres hoping.

On what basis couldn't we beat Yeovil, Blackpool or Forest?We've had our fair share of losses this year, but we've been good enough to get to second...Believe!

Admin Ian M Posted May 4, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 This team does not have another 4 wins in it, not by a long shotSmall point but there's only 4 games left including the play-offs so to win 4 we'd have to beat Rotherham which would mean we were up anyway Plus technically we could go up in the play-offs with 3 draws and a couple of shoot-out victories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
