League one games tonight.

[AndyT]

Not a bunch of terrible results today.

Bradford and Barnsley won, but everyone around us either drew or lost.

Col Ewe keep a clean sheet and still can't win! :blush:

 

[Barling Magna]

Yep, we've been fortunate to be in eighth position tonight, and Coventry's defeat is helpful so only two points off the play-offs. I note that Crewe Alex also lost at home - we need to ensure three points on Tuesday night.

 

[AndyT]

Indeed.

Two wins at home and suddenly the picture could look a lot different by this time next week.:thumbsup:

 

[Voice of Reason]

Things could be so much worse,col ewe broke a club record today of nineteen league games without a win.does anyone know what our worst run has been,sure its nowhere as bad as that

Funnily enough I think our worst run is 18 games!

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Peterborough 1 win in last 7 games and only scored 3 goals. Only 3,500 crowd for them tonight including 183 Oldham fans.
Mind you Bury only had 3,000 crowd and that included 950+ Barnsley.

I sense a "last game of the season road-trip" coming on

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Even with a win Monday night just can't see us getting into the top 6

How about on Tuesday?:winking:

 

[wakes123]

We've got 2 winnable home games coming up, and if we can get a bit of consistency away from home then we have got a chance. We're only 2 points off play-offs going into March.

Bradford City beating Burton 2-0 and Coventry losing again!

Meanwhile, the floodlight failures are 7-1 down at Chester! :smile:

 

[RobM]

Chester now 8-2 Aldershot

 

[woodbridge shrimper]

Seeing that Burton lost last night 2.0 to Bradford. They have exactly the same record over the last 10 games ie won 4 lost 4 drawn 2 as the Shrimpers, and yet still top of the league .My outsiders are Barnsley to get automatic promotion unless a miracle happens in South Yorkshire this weekend.

That's the great thing about our club. Just when you think Barnsley could be a bit painful, they will go there and win. I wouldn't bet against it.

lets hope Coventry dont have a mrsblue or all their message boards will be pandemonium.

Right, so on to this afternoon's important games.

With us being six points behind the play-offs and a nailed on home win coming up on Wednesday, let's take a jeweller's eyepiece to today's games :-

Playing now : Wigan v Rochdale - Nothing but a home win will do. Currently 0-0, but Wigan's 85 billion pound budget will be too strong for the likes of Rochdale and they'll romp home with a 3-0 win.

3:00pm : - Crewe v Bradford - It's about time the Railwaymen came out of the sidings and went full steam ahead, calling only at Bradford to collect three points. I'm going for a 1-0 home win.

3:00pm - Port Vale v Barnsley - Despite Barnsley having only lost one game since the middle of June, the Vale's tremendous home form will see them take the points with a 2-1 win

3:00pm - Scunthorpe v Swindon - Though both are behind us in the table, it will be all to play for in front of a capacity crowd at the Old Show Ground. I'm predicting a 0-0 draw.

3:00pm - Oldham v Chesterfield - The first of a couple of basement battles sees plucky Oldham take on Chesterfield. A thrilling 3-3 draw to enjoy here.

3:00pm - Doncaster v Blackpool - To say these two teams would struggle to give Boreham Wood a game at the moment is an understatement. Doncaster haven't won since they beat us, but it's time for some good fortune for them, so a 2-0 home win

3:00pm - Bury v Gillingham - A short trip up the motorway for the Gills and their travelling army of fans will see them take the spoils with a 1-0 win, courtesy of an overhead kick by Ade Akinbiyi

7:45pm : - Millwall v Burton - The big one. A 1-0 away win here, as well, celebrated by 27 away fans at the final whistle.


So there we have it and of course, it'll be a good day for Col Ewe, as they will avoid defeat, as well.

 

[AndyT]

No goals in the first half at the DW, but a sending off for Rochdale.

Ian Henderson receiving his marching orders for violent conduct.

 

[AndyT]

... and Wigan take the lead through McAleny! :thumbsup:

 

[mattitouk]

Hopefully there will be some more surprises in store today as per the other recent results, with the exception of the Bradford win with Millwall on Saturday that didnt help our cause for that last play off place (all though it is a long shot).

Im hoping for some unlikely wins today, namely Crewe beating bradford & Bury beating Gillingham.
Also Swindon beating Scunthorpe (so they dont leap-frog us).

And for those wanting to compound the misery on Col Ewe, Blackpool to beat Doncaster and Oldham to beat Chesterfield.

I have just seen that Wigan have just gone 1-0 up... 1st piece of good luck (so far).

 

[AndyT]

Early goal at Port Vale.

Let's go over to our reporter there :

"Well it's gone to Barnsley. Straight from a free-kick. 1-0 to the visitors"

 

[AndyT]

Full-Time : Wigan 1-0 Rochdale

Scunthorpe currently leading against Swindon, Blues now currently down to 13th :thumbdown:

C'mon you Robins!.... definately the 1st time those words have been uttered from my mouth.
