Maybe Barnsley - 11pts above us at kickoff - are just about catchable, but catching Ipswich (14) and above is so unlikely that in a “six pointer” I’d rather they crushed our rivals.Mar wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 3:48 pmI think i'd prefer Wycombe to win that one. I'd much rather hopes that we'd be able to catch the top two rather than feeling like they're keeping the distance. Sadly Sheff Wed have gone 1-0 up aswell.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 3:44 pmIpswich beating Wycombe. As it stands, they go second - and Wycombe are 5pts behind us from a game more.
Same distance can’t be said of the other three chasers though…
The gap is too big to catch up, as much as i'd like to think we could harbour a chance of catching it doesn't look anywhere near probable.
It’s also a worry when you have a four-way dogfight - more options toward disaster if you slip. Would be very happy to see them all drop off as April develops.
Oh and as BWFCi says - the chief interest in the top four is who we might play in the playoffs, and hoping they’re in disarray.
I see what you're saying. I think it's more of carrying on a hope than anything else. There's a few games between the top 8 that are set to play out. There will come a time when its mathematically unfeasible but until then I can but hope we'll try and make up the ground.
Don't think it's realistic for all 4 of those at the top to drop enough points for it to matter. Ipswich especially motoring towards the top being 2-0 up today.
Never been a fan of seasons petering out by by us locking in positions too early. Would much rather us still have plenty to challenge for going into the playoffs rather than us be totally off the pace or slightly on holidays by locking in the play offs too early.

John off at half time one assumes another injury….

I will be very surprised if we keep a clean sheet here. Need another. Maybe even another two.

Certainly need a big cup of wake the fcuk up, right now.
Re: Will it be Heaven in Devon for the Magnificent eleven? Away to Exeter, 3-0'clock Good Friday.
I doubt it. John wasn't overly great in that first half so might just be a rotation with Monday in mind. He wasn't terrible, but just not overly impactful.
As for the defence. We're tied for the best defence in the league at the moment.
Barnsley are a goal down so theres some more positivity to be had.

Barnsley, who were on a 12 game unbeaten run, lost against Exeter, at Exeter 3-1. So if anyones wondering why Exeter are proving a decent challenge, they're a decent side at home having won the last 4 in a row at home.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 4:14 pmBarnsley, the most catchable, losing at BurtonMar wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 4:09 pmI see what you're saying.

We're doing ok. Seems like we're weathering the storm.
Randell doesn't seem to have improved our defensive resolve, but I suspect thats more down to Exeter having to up their game than it is indicative of the difference between Randell and John.

Mbete and Williams scare me. A lot.
Got a feeling of Pompey this.

Si Deus pro nobis, quis contra nos?

Plymouth equalise. Feel like Kacha needs to make way for Shoretire. We need the ball to stick up top for a bit, ease the pressure somewhat. Feels like its all in our own half at the minute.

Victor and Nlundulu on up front. Adds height. Play direct I suspect. Cross everything folks. Massive half hour here.
Re: Will it be Heaven in Devon for the Magnificent eleven? Away to Exeter, 3-0'clock Good Friday.
Vic and N'lundulu coming on from the sounds of it. Not really sure about that one. Think N'lundulu is good at running at players but not necessarily helping with the build up. That being said Kacha dropped off that second half and Charles wasn't overly involved so hopefully fresh legs might help the press.
Re: Will it be Heaven in Devon for the Magnificent eleven? Away to Exeter, 3-0'clock Good Friday.
How is this still 1-0 to Bolton. So many near misses and almost goals.
Certainly feels like that. Hopefully heads dont drop if concede.

Ipswich 3-0 Wycombe, so there’s that
They’ll be irked that Plymouth equalise at Morecambe but it’s of less import to us. Although I’d still be interested to see what happens if we play Plymouth in the playoffs

Randell Williams has been awful.

I know I shouldn't. But Sunny Cox?
I think Mbete's been pretty solid. Williams next to him doesn't help he's like a ghost....For me it's felt like we've needed more in MF. They're getting to the back line far too easily.
