CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Walsall are absolute muck. Oh well, I'd have taken only one of Shrewsbury and Wigan dropping points against Walsall and Northampton at the start of the week.
Backroom Tom Posted March 21, 2018 Backroom Posted March 21, 2018 Fancy Wigan to see this one out...... If you gave me the choice of Shrews or Wigan dropping points this week it would be Shrewsbury, I just think one way or another Wigan will end up finishing top.

Not a good scoreline for us but worse for Shrewsbury !

Don't particularly see that as an advantage as it certainly appears as though their away form is as good if not better than their home form. Amazing what events down the M6 between two other teams can do for confidence when a struggling side takes two points off a rival. Having our destiny back in our own hands makes people feel a lot better about things, but doesn't really change our job. We still have to at the very least match Shrewsbury but realistically better them to get ourselves over that line. Hopefully a couple of absentees along with a tiring week of 3 games in 7 days will see them falter when the expectation is on their shoulders come Saturday. Shrewsbury's remaining league games: Saturday 24th March H AFC Wimbledon Friday 30th March A Rochdale Monday 2nd April H Oxford United Saturday 14th April A Bradford City Tuesday 17th April H Charlton Athletic Saturday 21st April H Bury Tuesday 24th April H Peterborough United Saturday 28th April A Blackpool Saturday 5th May H Milton Keynes Dons

Yes back then his counsel made him seem like Saruman of BRFCS "The BRFCS members stirred at first, murmuring with approval of the words of RoverInverness; and then they too were silent, as men spell-bound. It seemed to them that the Naysayers had never spoken so fair and fittingly.... And over their hearts crept a shadow, the fear of a great danger: the end of the promotion in a darkness to which the Doom Mongers were driving them, while RoverInverness stood beside a door of escape, holding it half open so that a ray of light came through. There was a heavy silence."

I often back the opposition to draw / win when Rovers are in front. I don't know why as it brings no comfort when it pays. .

Next 3 and Last couple of games look kind to them though

Bloody Walsall, are they too dim to have read the writing that was on the wall. They deserve relegation for this.

I think you were just verbalising what a lot of us have been thinking, if only in hope. If it’s any consolation I was nearly writing a similar thing in December!

Bigdoggsteel Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 I didn't expect them to lose this. They have 3 very kind fixtures after exiting the cup. Couldn't have asked for better really. Anyway, we still need to win our games. Nothing has changed
West Yorks Rover Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Walsall have been outclassed tonight by the best team in the division, according to co-commentator on Talksport2.. Hard to take, but I think he's probably right about them being the best team, I just can't imagine the likes of Evans, or either of our full-backs getting anywhere near Wigan's squad. They are having a rest in 2nd half and who can blame them with 3 points in the bag. We are playing for 2nd spot IMO. But who cares really, as long as we get there and we're in pole position for that.

We're probably going to be playing catch up but not by much compared to what it was. As above, we need to win our games and if we do we'll get up. For what its worth I don't think Wigan have a better squad than us, but think they are arguably more streetwise and ruthless than we are, but it doesn't really matter. By virtually every measure available we have a better side and squad than Shrewsbury but it doesn't change the reality that they are right in there with us.

47er Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Looks like there are 2 of us chasing the one automatic promotion spot. 2 games in hand, only 2 points behind us---hard to see Wigan slipping up from there. They have the basics right, solid defence and hard, tough midfield.
