[Wandering Yellow]

I'm convinced Accy's manager is some kind of footballing mastermind

 

[Malc]

Did we win?

It's strange how he keeps calling for the season to be abandoned.

 

[Wallop]

I called my Dad after the game and he asked me if they’d said when it will be replayed. He gave up when the stadium was evacuated.

Beat Ipswich and draw 1-1 with Pompey again.
That will do fine.

I think that is a fairly likely outcome.
Ipswich nothing special at all.
They've lost 4/6 of their last home games.

Whatever happens, this season and last have been epic .. it’s been an epic five years. We’ll look back on it when we’re bumping along lower half of the championship drawing 1-1 with Rotherham

A crap pitch. God awful weather. Several delays with the match possibly called off at one time. We didn't play very well at all. We went 1-0 down. We actually won anyway.

I'm actually starting to believe the footballing gods are with us all the way now.

 

[Malc]

Just 8 points needed to avoid relegation.

Don't jinx it, but yeah, there may be a case for a small amount of cautious optimism.

Have to wait for the goal cam to see exactly how Moore scored that!

 

[Wandering Yellow]

Imagine if we had an even average start to the season

 

[Paul Cannell]

Perseverance, young man, perseverance.

I can't see 51 points being needed this year. Currently every team from 18th down to 24th are under 1 ppg. So if it stays like that till the end of the season 46 points should be enough.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Can we now beat teams above us to maintain our playoff push?

 

[Yellow Mustard]

Awful stuff that was but very happy with the points.

I think there's a simple formula here- play Kelly in midfield, we struggle. Please keep him away from the starting 11 when we have such a talented squad. He does NOTHING.

Think were being unfair on kelly. He was no worse than brannagan in the 1st half. Wigan pressed our midfield really well in shitty conditions so not really surprising.

Long Moore Atkinson Ruffels
Gorrin
Maguane/Sykes Brannagan
Barker Taylor Lee/Shodipo

I for one CANNOT WAIT until we are able to field this team, or something very similar. I am genuinely excited about the return of Maguane. Kelly offered absolutely nothing today and our midfield will improve no end, once Marcus is back in the side. Sykes was brilliant today. After his spell out of the side, I am chuffed for him.

2 games in hand and 6 points off of 2nd

That side makes me stiff to be honest
