Teams around us - Thread to season end

[longmover]

Vale can feel a bit hard done by with this game not being played behind closed doors, a contrived pitch invasion that caused the game to be abandoned, the replay should be behind closed doors not a Tuesday night with a reduced away support as a result.

cheats prosper (again).

[Red Duke]

Vale lose their game in hand over us at Reading. Reading now onto 38 points, along with Cambridge, who lost at home to Notlob.

Us on 32, Charlton on 33, Shrews 35, then 4 teams on 38. Wigan next on 40, then two in that group on 38, and then it's Charlton...

Hold onto your hats, boys and girls.

Shade, you must be a fan of Monty Python! "Notlob - a palindrome of Bolton" - a bit from the dead parrot sketch!

Reading still can be drawn in

Both Reading and Exeter are in a false position as whilst their points totals are very healthy they've both played two or three games more than everyone else.

Reading are also in a false position because they've had 4 points deducted and would be 13th without that. Unless they're slapped with another deduction I think they'll be fine. I'm looking at Exeter and Shrews as the main ones to overtake.

Reading should be ok with their momentum. Burton I think have the determination like us to battle out of it.
With Fleetwood and Carlisle, it is 2 from Cambridge, Shrews, Charlton, PV and Exeter.
Unless Wycombe go on a horrendous run they should be ok.
Cambridge have lost momentum as have PV.
Better picture after the next 3 games to see who has the fight in them.
Cambridge lost their striker for 3 games now. Sort of thing that can bring a teams belief down, but we shall see.
Such excitement.

Interestingly on fellow fans forums other than Vale is there talk of going down. Might be on Cambridge now, but Exeter, Charlton, Shrews very little worry shown. Guess they think it will be us and Carlisle, Fleetwood and 1 other but not them. Going to change for some soon me thinks

Teams still seem to judge us on our first 11 matches and long may that last. Odd how when we win, everyone SHOULD be beating us and we are ALWAYS the worst team they have played. Makes you laugh

[RegencyCheltenhamSpa]

Just get our required wins asap then we can sit back and watch the pack battle it out to the death.

Could be a situation where a team goes down on the last day who haven’t been in the relegation zone all season.

Plus Exeter picked up about half their points in the first 5 or 6 weeks of the season.

[Shade]

I'm still staggered Huddersfield took him. I mean, I loved the guy while he was playing for us but he was never Championship standard. And now it seems he's barely L2 standard anymore (not that I've watched him play at all since he left us).

refreshing to see it is not only us who sometimes end up with short term vvankers with no moral fibre

Bizarre! Sacked from Gillingham, not achieved much at Cambridge to take over at Millwall.

[1985CTFC]

Jumped ship, started to struggle at Cambridge. Not sure if him leaving is good or bad for us. Guess the more unsettled teams around us are the better it is for us.

They have their big local derby with Peterbrough on Saturday too, if results go against them they could be within a few points of the relegation spots again and another prime candidate to drop into the bottom four.

As others have said I think it's two from about six teams and I sense complacency at teams like Cambridge, Exeter and Shrewsbury which might come back to bite them as it's not easy to shift mindset and suddenly start scrapping for every point when you thought you were safe.

he didnt do too bad in the end at Gillingham - inherited an absolute mess and was harshly sacked with them in 7th place in League Two

That and Nodnol, from an episode of Red Dwarf (Backwards) always stuck in my head after watching when I was young Always looked for words that sounded good backwards after that. Ecilop being a favourite.

Anyway, back to the llabtoof...

Wrong thread Shade?!

[1985CTFC]

Bradford giving Wycombe a good workout on a mega heavy pitch at Bradford. We need extra time for them. Then they go to Stevenage to get a dose of Steve Evans football. Then few days later play us. Hopefully by then they will be knackered with a few injuries.

Absolutely no idea how that ended up here. Assume my phone was messing about. Or maybe the forum. Anyone else seeing a huge increase of ads on the forum?

Can’t say I’ve noticed but then I use Ghostery

No more ads for me. I only use Safari on my iPhone

I'm on computer now and it's fine, but using Chrome on my Android, there were ads after every couple of posts last night, plus the top and bottom over every page.

Used to get all those ads also then changed my permissions and all seems ad free now. Also on android

Didn't used to get ads at all on Tapatalk...

Tbf, I don't see much in the way of ads on this site using chrome on my android phone.

On Firefox there is now an option to go to reader view that removes the ads.

On the whole not a bad day, even Exeter within our own hands

Yeah all results gone out way except you'd have hoped Portsmouth would win away at Charlton, who have picked up two unlikely points in the last week. But still, all in our hands now with games in hand.

Wycombe's keeper got sent off today, straight red, so I assume he will be unavailable on Tuesday night.

[asl]

Wanted Reading and Shrews to draw and, obviously Charlton to lose - but, yea, not a bad set of results, at all.

Substitute keeper is Argentinian Franco Ravvizoli, whose career history so far reads Wycombe, Milton Keynes, Eastbourne Borough and <double-checks notes> River Plate.

Interesting........

Hopefully an eccentric south American who comes for everything and gets nowhere.
But he'll probably be prime world cup Ochoa against us (I know, different country).

In that case, we may have a battle on our hands

A few chants of "You can stick your Malvinas up your arse" and "who sank your Belgrano - we did" will soon show him what we're about.
