1987 we made the play offs by beating Champions Millwall, 1 4 at the Old Den. A similar result would do nicely. The last time was the win away at Plymouth, which relegated them and we got promoted through play offs.

A racing certainty, Coventry will have everything to play for and Boro will just be fulfilling a fixture, prior to their play off campaign.

I think you’re probably right but as it currently stands, before today’s West Brom match, we can only guarantee a place with 9 points. Highly unlikely but I can see Coventry getting two wins and so even a 7 point haul doesn’t see us overturning them.

It could change after the West Brom match today but at this point, I think we need to win all three to guarantee a place. I expect Coventry to win both and so only 3 wins puts us above them, that would give a place irrespective of how many points West Brom muster.

I think JDT has worked miracles and would be gutted if he left because of the lack of support from Swag and Broughton. A little help in January and we would have already secured our play off spot and potentially, with O’Brien and a competent striker, may well have pushed Sheffield. We still have hope, despite these blows and the hand that fate appears to have dealt us and by Christ, we are long overdue some luck and a play off place.

Unlucky maybe with the slip and where the ball ended up from Hyam’s boot. However, Wharton had the option to take a foul but decided against it and Hyam’s was a pretty wild swing of the boot. Both should have done better but of course, Hedges brain fart was what really cost us.

What pressure, your job is already done. There is only one team under pressure going into Tuesday’s fixture, especially given the last two results and our playing hopes hanging by a thread.

I agree, they would have wanted to win it at Turd in front of a full house of inbreds. The players don’t really care about putting one over Rovers and hopefully, our chances are better with their crowd restricted.

Fuck me, pot and kettle. That twat Wagner and Huddersfield got us relegated when they made 10 changes against Big club, having already secured their play off spot.

Just watching it again as can’t sleep. Why was Hedges trying to chip a goalkeeper virtually on his line, brain dead.

Hyam just didn’t deal with it and there was no real danger, plenty of defenders and few white shirts. Had bags of time and it was going nowhere. Heartbreaking.

Massive self destruct. Hedges, you muppet, Wharton stay on your feet, if you foul him then do it properly and Hyam had no real pressure on him, block it or make a proper contact. Any of the above and game over 🙈

Just seen the goal on TV for first time. Hedges still takes responsibility but ably assisted by Scott Wharton, pathetic and Hyam shouldn’t have had a problem dealing with that and 9 out of 10, he makes a proper contact. You really couldn’t make it up 🙈

Still trying to pull myself off the floor, we played well second half and just didn’t deserve that. I’m sure many would have taken a point before the match and we still have it in our own hands. Beat the Dingles and we can do it but the odds are against us, however surely our luck must change and thank God they won’t have 7,000 fans there to back them and gloat at our likely demise.

I do blame Hedges today, that was criminal.

Blames Hedges, sole responsibility for that.

We played well in the second half and were clearly the better team for that period. Hedges was instrumental in that but wtf was he doing ! Score, hit low and hard and take a goalkick or corner or go to flag, he takes sole responsibility. As to the curse, Scott W and Brittain appear to be the subs from hell 😡

We won’t be scoring many, if any, goals but we can only believe and pray.

Pears, JRC, Carter, Hyam, Pickering Morton Wharton Travis Thomas Dolan Szmodics

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

Yep, one win in eight. No prizes for guessing who they beat, FFS 😡

I thought it at the time, the paperwork incompetence and failure to bring a striker in would probably do for us. O’Brien and a striker, I think we would have booked our play off spot already 😡

Looking forward to it but with much trepidation, in fact I’m almost terrified of an adverse outcome.

Best news this week 😊
