2 huge games

Dale v Plymouth - Plymouth need a win to get into the driving seat for 6th place. Draw a poor result for both teams so should be open

Oldham v Southend - Southend "on the beach" Draw not a bad result for Oldham if we don't win, as they have Northampton and Doncaster left

Walsall who are in freefall play their game in hand next week away to Bradford & are the most likely team for us to catch as oldham have easier games. However they play Northampton at home on Saturday

Northampton who looked dead only have 2 games left but they are Oldham and Walsall!!

Very interesting set of matches & could well be 52 points required

I was really pleased with our overall performance again yesterday and I still can’t believe we drew that match, just like many before.

But Keith still needs to up his game...

He continues to make his substitutions too late. Joey T should have been subbed at least 5 minutes before. We need to be far more attack minded and leave two players forward when we are defending a corner or free-kick. Yes, Andrew needs to defend but there are plenty of capable players to leave up front. Raff needs to work on his crosses, being woeful yesterday, and McGahey needs to get his passing up to scratch. I want to see him using those penetrating runs more. The same goes with McNulty, on numerous occasions he could have carried the ball MUCH further into their territory and made an incisive pass but instead did something far less positive. Joey T wasn’t reading the game/not being as positive as he should be when that pass was threaded forward to nobody. Come on Keith, get a grip.

But we let ourselves down time after time with the lack of support for Calvin. It’s criminal to see nobody there when he heads the ball forward. It’s like watching primary school football. What is the point in Calvin wining the header. Wasted opportunity, which falls firmly into Keith Hill’s responsibility. He is the one to sort it out.

Dobre was the positive option ahead of Gillam, but Keith failed us. Inman was dead on his feet and, again, should have been subbed 10 minutes earlier. That is poor Keith.

The whole situation is on a knife edge now. Keith needs to play much more positively. Yes, we are playing well, but we could be playing even better.

hence my post was factual.

I would take that ( both surviving ) but plenty of football left to be played yet - for both sides.

Let's get a win Tuesday - put in the performance and get the result of the season on Saturday down at Oxford and have a right old celebration Saturday night.





I've just noticed that Walsall and Wimbledon don't play their extra game this week. They both play the Tuesday night after we play Oxford. It would be just our luck this season for us to get out of the bottom 4 and then they both pick up 3 points to put us back in !

It's more to do with us not capitalising on what we can control.

if we played 4 at the back against Oldham, Bradford, we be out the Relegation places, but negative Hill cost us 4 points,

what's your opinion on Calvin and Joe T super strike force


We played four at the back and conceded 7 v Portsmouth and Wigan

Playing 3 at the back we are defensively far better.

As for your last comment, Hendo and his moment of madness

should of never played 4 at back against Wigan, we played 4 at back against Shrewsbury and Portsmouth, their defence couldn't cope against us. got 4 points

we played Oldham Bradford who's defence (or attack) ain't a patch on the 2 teams above and we go with 5 at back with a super strike force. got 2 points against poor teams

You mentioned Hendo , we had 2 strikers on bench and 1 at left back who would bring more to our attacking play then Joey T.

While agreeing the personnel chosen wasn’t attacking enough to win the game, the formation is a necessity from the start of games because we aren’t good enough with two centrally at the back.

we wasn't good last season at defending, but we attack teams at home hense why we had one of the best home records in league.

If we attacked like we did against Portsmouth or Shrewsbury
we would of had 6 points instead of 2. both teams were there for the taking, and we let it slip by negative selection, tactics

Really
Listen to Hill's interview from yesterday


'there should be No Fear'


Its easy for Hilly to say no fear but from what I've seen from the vast majority of this seasons home games in the second half its been more like play with total fear. A bit more risk and we would have been watching Oldham and Bury squirm with a ten point cushion.

We don't know we would have had six points; that's just a prediction.

If Rafferty had scored his penalty, for example, Oldham would have needed to approach the rest of the game differently, which might have seen them try to do more in the attacking third.

Cheers 100notout.

it really does not bother me in the slightest. I think the nature of another late late goal in freak circumstances was still quite raw to most.

The great thing about football is you get a chance really quickly to make amends. We get ours in 36 hours time.

I think Oldham will be safe due to their run in; and they have goalscorers in Doyle and Davies. I think the team we are competing against is Walsall; who are in horrendous form and have arguably a tougher run in than us. However, Northampton's win on Saturday gives them a big chance of staying up now due to their favourable run in, so it might be us and Walsall going down after all!

Yep, Northampton are back in the mix with a post-JFH bounce and a disappearing Bunney

I can't make the game tomorrow, but it's going to be really tense and i doubt the players will be able to relax into their game knowing individual errors can be so costly. Unfortunately, every ball into our box from now on is going to be a test of Josh's character as well as ability. I hope those who are there don't add to that with"squeeky-bum" noises whenever there's a floater...

What we need is for us to beat Plymouth and get at least a draw away at Oxford.

We need Northampton to beat Walsall on saturday.

Walsall to get beat on Saturday and next Tuesday away at Bradford.

If this happens then going into the last game we would have 51 points, Oldham would have 50, Northampton 48, Wasall would be on 48 points.

Northampton to play Oldham on the final day, so one of these two teams could not overtake us and Walsall are away at Fleetwood, and they would need to win there to get 51 points.

Will this assessment or hope of results to come, happen? we can only hope.

It will be interesting to see Josh's approach tomorrow night? Will he continue to catch or try punching more away? Just hope it hasn't affected confidence too much - it's harsh because other players make a mistake and aren't punished - a goalkeeper has nowhere to hide when he cocks up! Let's hope it's not too costly - if we go down it will most probably be regarded as the moment more than most that sealed our fate - as we were actually out of the bottom 4. A shame because Lillis has saved us many times this season.

Hope you don't mind a Plymouth interloper....

PASOTI, as visited is not in a good place right now...we have a number of so called fans who delight in any failure as it serves their own personal agenda but in truth the overall opinion was we got what we deserved on Saturday the square root of sweet FA.

Ryan Taylor is our missing link...target man who drags us ten yards further up the pitch and who then allows our creative duo of Lameiras and Carey to sparkle in dangerous area...Grant is a wide player who doesn't fit the role but is good with the ball behind a back four or to feet.

So far he has filled in for two games and we have scored zero....

We also have a few injuries....Sarcevic is only just back from six/seven weeks out, Makes on loan from West Ham is out and his replacement who himself was signed in an emergency swoop when we lost Sarcevic was crocked on Saturday....

Fan wise I think you will surprised...we have fond memories of winning at Spotland under Sturrock under lights in the promotion season and also most of the tickets were sold before we surrendered so abkjectly on Saturday....not sure how many your away end holds but I'd expect around 1200-1500 there....so not too shabby for a Tuesday night a couple of hundred miles away...

We need the win....so do you...first goal will be crucial as I suspect both teams will be tempted to go negative and hold on.....

Either way I hope you guys stay up even if we do win....Hill is a good manager at this level and an ex Greenie too....plus who wants to go to Boundary park for a game....we have a dreadful record there

I think Walsall may well not get another point...they seem to have lost all confidence, and Northampton may have left it too late....

So let us have the points and beat Charlton instead would be my preferred option....hope that fits in with your plans too.


best of luck ( except tomorrow)

When they could toddle up the road to Home Park and watch the match there, 1200+ visiting fans tomorrow would be impressive. Have they no jobs to go to?

It's been an odd season for you Pilgrims. When Dale drew 1-1 there on 28 October, it was our seventeenth point in sixteen matches and your eleventh. We continued to average a fraction over a point a game while you got into contention for a play-off place.

But a scrap of hope can be taken from your poorish recent away form (one point from a possible nine) - though Dale have taken only two points from their last three home games. And the bookies' odds are a bit surprising - 10 to 3 against an away win, 10/11 on a home win.

We'd be happy to keep our L1 status - and we'd be content to see The Pilgrims keep theirs.
