Fat lady not needed again today

A win and the other two drawing would do it now as well, thanks to Crewe. :smile:

So here is the scenario for everyone playing at home.

CURRENTLY:
Crawley 81 +21
Torquay 81 +14
Southend 80 +27

If Southend draw:

Crawley and Torquay need to lose to both Accrington and Hereford

If Southend win:

Crawley and Torquay need to draw or lose, but neither can win.

If Crawley win:
They go through irrespective of other results.

If Torquay win:

Crawley needs to draw or lose in order for them to go up.

So for us it's simple we need to win again and this week needs to occur again where neither win.

So glad I've got tickets for next week.

Snap.:happy:

 

[southend_aussies]

In other words... BRING ON NEXT WEEK!!!

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Unbelievable last day in store and I'll be over for it.:clap:

Lucky bugger! Happy for you but BLOODY jealous!!! Will be working in Toulouse...........at least my body will........my mind is likely to be elsewhere! Just hope that the good form and confidence we have created over the last few games won't take a dent next week should Crawley or Torquay win.

So glad I've got tickets for next week.

Ditto. Going home from uni for the weekend. Decided to thinking that it would go down to the last game, a few weeks ago that looked unlikely but now it will. And you could even say we'll be favourites since we're playing at home to an already-relegated team whilst both Crawley and Torquay are away. Can't beat a bit of end-of-season drama. Would be remarkable if we went up automatically now. Well done Sturrock and the boys, and thank you Nick Powell. I think we go up next week we should all be supporting Crewe in the play-offs!

PS. Congratulations to Shrewsbury on their promotion, to go a whole season without losing at home is quite an achievement.

Maybe we should have a fat lady as our mascot, mind you she will be anorexic by the time she gets to sing. What an amazing afternoon no way did I think we would get that set of results. If only the crewe penalty had gone in! And great result for us at at Oxford as well. Well done blues

 

[undercovershrimper]

What a shame that the play-off hopes of Rotherham and the fat twunt Evans are over hahahahahhahahaha

 

[jimmyshrimp]

Just shows how important those 3 points at Aldershot would have been!

 

[Lancashire shrimper]

Torquays leading scorer with 14 goals, Rene Howe, was booked again today. I think that's his 10th yellow this season . . . and a 2 match ban

 

[Alex]

They would have all but promoted us today

No, the amnesty for yellow cards passed some time ago.

We always choke with big crowds.

 

[wally4pm]

Does today's result mean it was our best ever away record in a season?

 

[Gremlin]

We always choke with big crowds.

Ah, that chestnut! Like when we beat Man Utd you mean?

 

[Gremlin]

ffs sturrock we need a win today and you play one up top unreal

I've an inkling that he knows a bit more than you.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

[Murkey_Mouse]
