  1. Great game tonight. Posh's squad players have a decent pedigree, but the Robins tore into them and could have won by 5. Come on Carlisle!
  2. Robins hanging on but Wycombe's equaliser puts Cambridge back into the mix for the final day.
  3. Cheltenham fighting for their lives, crunching into tackles, defending incredibly well and winning second balls in midfield. Curtis Davis playing like he's ten years younger. But they aren't burying their chances so it's nervy.
  4. TBH they've just been really poor and are lucky not to be 4 or 5 down, but...there are signs they are starting to perk up and could come back into it. Hopefully not a game that relegates the Robins and they rue missing so many half chances.
  5. Scramble in Posh box, 4 or 5 shots blocked. Then goalie saves 2 - Robin's so close but just can't score. Reminds me of us.
  6. Another chance spurned by the Robins. Headed over from 6 yds
  7. Donny have come from absolutely nowhere to come into it. Form team.
  8. Robins hit inside of the post but bounces into the goalie's hands. CTFC could have had 5 by now. Worryingly it's only 2.
  9. Posh nearly equalise but Curtis Davis clears for a corner. That said CTFC should be more than 2 up.
  10. Route 1 ball, absolutely appalling defending.
  11. Or the one that was chalked off earlier.
  12. Also had one chalked off earlier for a soft foul in the build up.
  13. Decent start from Cheltenham.
  14. Norfolk is one of the biggest counties in England but doesn't have an inch of motorway so remains quite isolated and gives the impression of being southern, but it ain't - it's eastern.. Crap railway connections to the outside world too - other than a 2 hour trip to London. Anyhoo, don't give Cheltenham much hope tonight other than it's a must win if they are to have any hope of survival. Never know though. Mind you, Posh are resting a lot of players.
  15. I like it but then we'd be arguing about a heel at the back of the striker instead of a toenail at the front. If the film is shot at 25 frames per second there is room for error re exactly when the ball left the passer's foot and the body shape of the receiver depends on the position he's moving from and to in order to receive the pass so whilst I think VAR is good for monitoring foul play, I think they should drop it for offside and leave it the ref and linesman to decide - as they do in 99.9% of games. And if they insist on keeping it they need to improve the tech e.g. short of implants, they could fit the player's socks, shorts or shirts (or a stick on patch on their chest) with a single sensor and let it be decided on which sensor is ahead regardless of arms, legs and big toes - which would work the same as goal line tech and send a signal to the ref's watch - thereby eliminating the need for the video watchers in a different location and the delays.
  16. Have to draw the line somewhere.....if not there, where?
  17. Unfortunately, I can't see Sheff W, Argyle and Brum getting the points they need to sink them
  18. Pretty sure that Evatt saying we're the best in the league was a psychological play for the benefit of the players. Unfortunately in some games we needed to win I think they believed him.
  19. On a brighter note, Rovers are just three points from the drop with 2 games left after today.
  20. That's bollocks though isn't it? . Isn't "resting players" not a satisfactory reason? Lots of teams have rested players during the season/"rotated their squads". Would the EFL have to... a) prove that the players brought in were not as good as the players rested? (that would be hilarious especially if the manager just said he'd been watching them all week in training and he'd selected the best players that week) or b) prove that the players rested didn't need a rest (good luck with that) You can neither define nor prove "full strength".
  21. Difficult to work out who will get the final playoff place given Pompey's capitulation against Wigan and Exeter's massive improvement. Last day games are going to be nailbiting for 4 clubs hoping to get/stay in.
  22. Q: if on the final day we are level on points and GD with Derby, does it go to goals scored? (i.e. we'd only need a 4 goal swing?)
  23. Ah well - that's Vale down isn't it?
