[Archived] THE BATTLE FOR PROMOTION....WON.

[philipl]

Just seen that the 6th round doesn't have replays any more.

So Extra time and about 15 penalties (each) to get the players properly cold hanging around for their nerve wracking turn. If it goes on long enough does Paul Cook get to take one?

He doesn't have an underlying message darren, or at least not one that's not been peddled for the past 7 seasons?

Why would anyone believe failure this season will be any worse than failure any other season?

I guess the MG's of this world will eventually get it right, but we have no reason to believe it'll be this season rather than any other do we?

You called administration under Mowbray less than 12 months ago. So you tell us - it's only really you and MGPensioner I've seen claim administration or the loss of the club is around the corner.

You are the MG's of this world only you have changed your tune since we started winning whereas he hasn't. You can at least have a modicum of respect for a man that sticks by his word.

Shrewsbury have only got 20 points from their last 10 games. The way things are panning out it could well be a last day of the season job like last season. The football gods owe us one so hopefully a better outcome this time.

Yes, you're right about Shrewsbury, just checked it up.I knew I'd balls it up! It remains incredibly close and could well go down to the last game of the season and even to GD, God forbid.

One of three teams is going to get an outcome they do not deserve.

Much snow in the Wigan area? Any chance of the game being postponed if so?

Derby's game today has been called off

This is the north and not some weak willed snowflakes from Kent.

Shrews fan in peace!  First look at your board today after seeing a few of yours on our board!

Thanks to the majority of you for your well reasoned comments about our season so far, but come on BRFC4EVA, your post above is laughable!!  A side doesn’t maintain top 3 all season through luck, as I’m sure you prob really know.  You mention the Scunny and Walsall games, were you at both? Yes Scunny won the first half but they didn’t miss the penalty, it was saved by a good keeper and a good signing in the summer. We bossed the second half and hit the woodwork, so a bit of bad luck there ;). As for the Walsall game, we should have been 4 up at halftime but like so many games recently, we don’t convert good chances.  Walsall were awful but we also hit the post in that match.

Due to an amazing pre season inc a training camp abroad, we are one of, if not the fittest sides in the league and I think you’ll find that has a part to play with late goals.

So come on, a bit of respect from all sides, it’s gonna be a cracking end to the season and we are just enjoying going toe to toe with the two big teams of this league, with incomparable budgets.

Good post which prompted me to have a look at yours. Good to see so many posts from here quoted, I mean those that have been intelligently researched for stats.

Good luck to Shrews in the Playoffs

You clearly didn't understand the question, but as you're now speaking for darren I'll humour you, I bet Reidy will be along shortly also 

Anyway, the question, put simply was, why is this season more important financially than any other season under Venkys?

I'm not nervous, how very dare you. 

I am friggin scared rigid of missing an auto spot, at my age I've been through enough playoff traumas and not enjoyed any of them including the one that got us to the PL.

Playoffs are the same as Cup games and I do not think we do Cups anymore.

Anyway in my ideal world you and us go up and Wigan fail. Have a sister living in Whitchurch so have had a soft spot for Shrews for years.

[Rover_Shaun]

In my ideal world we go up and don't give a toss about anyone else ??

Let’s hope he succeeds and gets Wigan another game in their schedule.

I’m glad you have trust in him, for me he’s got 9 games to prove that trust isn’t misplaced! 

Actually maybe that’s harsh as promotion via the playoffs would still be job done so he may have 12 games!

Wigan losing in the Cup. ?. Come on Southampton!

Wigon losing

Why do you want Wigan to lose in the cup?

[dallydally]

Powell on. Let's hope he really does his hamstring ??

[scotchrover]

Cook’s nowbrought in Powell, who’s apparently not fully fit.

 

Southampton looking like they’ve finally got a grip on the game here. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

An equaliser be great now. Followed by a win on penalties. Tottenham or utd next round then 

[Tom]

Wigan out of the cup, a crappy weekend for us but plenty more chances to come to have better ones 

[Tony Rover]

With a bit of luck hopefully Wigan will still get to Wembley this season?

[dallydally]

Come on Walsall! Take points off Wigan on Tuesday

On paper they have two perfect games coming up to get over their cup hangover. The stinger is that they are away games. If they get anything less than 6 points it's good for us
