Its Us or Carlisle

[Hiney]

But if Carlisle win at Millwall, we need Northampton to lose both remaining games to MK Dons (h) and Leeds (a) - both opponents with nothing to play for.

Isn't home advantage for the play-off second leg at stake?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I predict Northampton won't get another point. But Millwall will be wanting to get Tranmere in the play-offs rather than Leeds or MK Dons, so they'll be going to for the win against Carlisle. Carlisle are going down.

We'll beat Stockport & end up ahead of Hartlepool & Northampton

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

So, after Saturday 25 April's results, the situation is:

If Brighton win v Stockport
We stay up

If Brighton draw v Stockport
We need Carlisle to draw or lose at Millwall

But if Carlisle win at Millwall, we need Northampton to lose both remaining games to MK Dons (h) and Leeds (a) - both opponents with nothing to play for.

If Brighton lose v Stockport
We need Carlisle to draw or lose at Millwall, and the total goal difference of our defeat together with an unwanted Crewe victory to not be more than four goals (otherwise Crewe would send Brighton and Carlisle down).
But if Carlisle win at Millwall, we need Northampton to lose both games by massive margins - such as 9-0 and 9-0 (and even then if might not be enough)!

(Stockport have no chance of relegation - even if they got deducted 10 points this season)

Carlisle aren't at Millwall, they are at home. Not nit picking but makes a difference as it's a f***ing long way for their support to go for a not much game.

Carlisle or no carlisle its all down to us, we can win it lads!

Oh yes. You're right!

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

We win we're safe. Simple.

 

[drew]

Northampton can lose both games and providing we draw with Stockport we are safe whatever carlisle do! If Carlisle win with that scenario, then it would be Northampton that go down!!

Agree, I don't think some people are bothering to look at who they are playing. MK Dons at home and Leeds away.

I predict Northampton won't get another point. But Millwall will be wanting to get Tranmere in the play-offs rather than Leeds or MK Dons, so they'll be going to for the win against Carlisle. Carlisle are going down.

If, as you predict, Northampton don't pick up another point, that will mean MK Dons will be in third place before next weeks fixtures and they are away to Hereford who are already down. MK Dons will therefore be in prime place to play Tranmere and Leeds and Millwall will face each other. There is a danger Millwall will take there foot of the gas to save themselves for the play-offs.

Thanks Hiney and Lemming Stomper!

Just seen another correction to make...

So, after Saturday 25 April's results, the situation is:

If Brighton win v Stockport
We stay up

If Brighton draw v Stockport
We need Carlisle to draw or lose at Millwall

But if Carlisle win against Millwall (h), we need Northampton to lose both remaining games to MK Dons (h) and Leeds (a) - both opponents may want to win to determine the situation of their guaranteed play-off places).

If Brighton lose v Stockport
We need Carlisle to draw or lose against Millwall (h), and the total goal difference of our defeat together with an unwanted Crewe victory to not be more than four goals (otherwise Crewe would send Brighton and Carlisle down).

But if Carlisle win against Millwall (h), we need Northampton to lose both games by massive margins - such as 9-0 and 9-0 (and even then if might not be enough) AND and the total goal difference of our defeat together with an unwanted Crewe victory to not be more than four goals (otherwise Crewe would send Brighton and Northampton down).

(Stockport have no chance of relegation this season- even if they got deducted 10 points this season)


Any more corrections?... please add them on!

 

[Garage_Doors]

one was their best player Bridges

The other was the keeper who gave away the penalty. so hopefully it was there first choise keeper.

 

[minnieme]

F##ks sake i can't cope

 

[Russell Slade's hat]

Stockport have nothing to play for!, although they may look to come out and give there travelling suport a good show?

Is it true they have near enough sold out?

 

[clippedgull]

if i remember ..wernt they top of table very early in season

I know we were for a few early games!

Dont think it was. The player who gave away the pen is a centre forward!

It was Bridges who gave away the pen, for handball.

The other one sent off, was the CB, Evan Horwood, for 2 yellows.

Well the CB is out - not sure the rules for straight red anymore, don't you get a game break and then the suspension?

The thread needs a table!

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

That Cheltenham goal was MASSIVE for us today.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

[brakespear]

Isn't home advantage for the play-off second leg at stake?

Yeah, I thought this was the case as well.
