We are going to need a minimum four points from today and the Dingles.

Yep. No other explanation for the recent stumbles.

Wigan 2-1

[rovers11]

Yes Wigan! That could be huge for us.

[Rover_in_the_South]

Just need a Reading goal now!

[G Somerset Rover]

That bloody ridiculous 95th min GK goal is looking absolutely huge right now for us and Cov. We have to win tonight. No excuses.

[Blue blood]

Overall a good set of results for us. Millwall losing is massive as it could have taken two good results to catch up with them had they won. Feel like their small squad is feeling the strain now. 

Norwich blew any chance of getting in the mix. Only negative result Coventry but we were in a better position starting this round of fixtures than them, so it's not the worst thing in the world, if not ideal. We couldn't rely on every result going our way.

We need a favour from Mowbray this lunchtime. 

Mowbray needs a favour from Mowbray whilst he is about it...

[Hasta]

Its hard work watching football hoping for a 0-0.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Just watching the WBA v Sunderland game. Never a pen in a million years. The crowd and the WBA players gave that decision.

[Penwortham Blue]

Get in, 1 1, wish the Ref would now blow up.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Ideally a draw, but if someone needs to win then Sunderland winning is better than West Brom winning. Means we just have to draw against the dingles to then must win the next 2.

Need a draw

Games in hand are nice and all but points in the bag are what’s needed and wouldn’t want either going above us at any point 

[Hasta]

I think a draw would be better, but it's the preferred result if one has to win it.

Sunderland are at Preston last game and after what I witnessed yesterday that lot would love it if their team chucked it to screw us over.  They seemed far more happy to stop us winning than actually concerned a win put them above us and level with 6th.

In peace, as ever ...

Looking at the situation from a reasonably objective standpoint, I'd be worried about the soft underbelly of Rovers and the inability to see games out, the fact that both Luton and Millwall are tough very fit physical sides, the lack of goals with Brereton-Diaz's current form & Gallagher being out, and finally, the negative goal difference ...

In jest as ever, I honestly think we need the same number of points as you have fingers on one hand. And I really don’t see where two wins are coming from.

Burnley win the league at Ewood and Mowbray wins the playoffs at Wembley first year after leaving us.
