In usual circumstances it looks as if we have the only winnable fixture, but it is the last game of the season and something always trumps up.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Haven't Leeds won 9 home games on the spin? I can't see Northampton doing anything up there. Which means a point should do it for us

 

[Horsham Gull]

we draw
leeds will beat cobblers
millwall will turn over carslise
leicester will beat crewe (not that if we draw it wont matter)

.....but worryingly, it's not far off the colour of a banana skin................

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Funnily enough, the most worried I'd be would be if I were a Northampton fan. We've obviously got it in our own hands and have a winnable game, and Carlisle despite being in the worst points position do have a winnable home game. Northampton have what I believe is the ONLY fixture in this league at the moment that is a definite defeat, so I can see them having to rely on Carlisle not winning, ie it may well be in their hands now, but it most probably won't be by half-time on Saturday.

Nope. I would still be more worried as a Carlisle fan. Need to win against 4th placed Millwall, despite only beating Brighton & Crewe in the past 20 matches. Carlisle are f***ed

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I understand your point, but you said you would be MOST worried if you were a Northampton fan. But they have the points on the board. Carlisle need to do something they haven't been able to do since John Ward got sacked.

Northampton should be worried, but not as much as Carlisle

The Leeds game worries me, as they are in the play offs already, can't get automatic promotion, know how much we hate them and could shit on us by taking their foot of the pedal or fielding a reserve team to keep players fit for important games.

Depends on who Leeds fancy in the playoffs. Currently they have Millwall so are they happy with that or do they want to get 3rd and potentially get Scunnie instead ?. Millwall will want to avoid Leeds I reckon so won't be easing up.

I can assure you the Leeds players will not be thinking.....

Tell you what if we lose, end our unbeaten home run of 9, lose our win bonus and finish the season on a low, so what? There is a slim chance that if other results go the right way Brighton could go down.

Just thought I'd add a bit of spice to your breakfast

Where's Jimmy Glass when Carlisle need him?

 

[Austrian Gull]

So...

4-0 to carlisle
1-0 to brighton
1-1 for northampton

I worship Stelling and wish him no harm but if it's us or them...

We (Leeds) should really win on Saturday, Delph and Snodgrass are back and we'll play a full team (Grayson has said he won't disrespect the relegation battle and only injured players won't play).

There will be 35,000+ there and we are going for a record 11th home win in a row and need to win to get 4th to have the away leg second.

I really hope we win and Carlisle still go down.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

We win - we stay up

We draw - we need Carlisle to draw/lose or Northampton to lose

We lose - we need Carlisle to draw/lose
