Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,773 Posted February 16, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted February 16, 2023 Two big games for us. Northampton will be a challenge but I feel we can get at least a point from. Harrogate also find themselves teetering above the relegation zone so we must win this game and start to build the gap back up between us and an instant return to Non-League.

Juniper 30 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Looking at the form guide we should draw with Burnley but have the capabilities of winning as long as we can hit the barn door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Should be more interesting now following our win against Birmingham. Are we able to push on or was that game basically a one off? Feeling a little more positive for a change, though most likely expecting a reality check to happen.

Goku de la Boca 121 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 If we don't win we won't make playoffs. I think we will though, our home form has been the one mainstay in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way things have gone, we will. Our away form is dreadful and the one thing maintaining us is that we tend to get the job done at home. Sheffield and Plymouth have recently gotten points here though, so even that is falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McKenna keeps changing lineups per game I think I have a right to be worried. I don't think we'll quite lose to Forest Green though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goku de la Boca 121 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I would line up like this. Walton Donacien - Woolfenden - Burgess Burns - Morsy - Humphreys - Davis Aluko Ladapo - Hirst Back to basics, although I would give Aluko a chance. He always seems to perform.

Yes, so in theory you should be beating Reading as we should have beaten PNE, such a funny business this football lark? I have found Reading very disorganised and lack any punch, a 3-0 win against Birmingham away should give your boys some confidence, but this is the Championship!

But yes, a long way and there are some decent teams in and around, I really like Bolton being fair and coming from near oblivion I want them to do well, (but also some tasty away trips too).

Administrator Stan 18,389 Posted February 17, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted February 17, 2023 Is there anything better than a last minute winner in football? Only 12 points off the playoffs @Bluebird Hewitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 First time in a while I can say that we fully deserve that. Was doing everything right except putting the ball in the net, and it looked like it was gonna be goalless until Sawyers injury time winner. Reading offered absolutely nothing, the only chance for them being handed to them by Allsop. McGuiness was arguably lucky to be on the pitch, but was about it really for Reading. They can have no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
