Johnnyrotten Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 1 hour ago, Marc505 said: I think at least one will go to April but I don't think it's ideal to have so many games stacked up into the final month especially when 2 of our fixtures are already against Portsmouth and Peterborough. I remember thinking last season it was great having the security of 3 home games in a week right at the end but that Accrington game proved its not so straightforward! Agreed - those April games when you can almost touch promotion are very jittery, I feel like our best chance of "routine" wins are before it gets too close to the end (same applies to every team of course). The promotion season under Parky was painful in April before we got over the line in the last 2 games - those consecutive 1-0 defeats at Scunthorpe & Oldham and two 0-0s in front of expectant crowds v Chesterfield & Bury. And plenty jitters in April in our last promotion season under IE - Colchester, Newport, Harrogate, Grimsby, Carlisle, Exeter etc - what a long month that was! Get the points in the bag in Feb/March when it doesn't seem quite so crucial and the crowd is less edgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_white Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Looking at the table - I'd take our current position over anybody bar Pompey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big E Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 1 hour ago, Traf said: Although, one might suggest when the current minor knocks/niggles clear up, we should have enough strength in depth to almost field a completely changed starting eleven from one game to another... GK : Baxter / Coleman RWB : Cogley / Ramsey LWB : Ashworth / Williams / Ogbete CB : Jones / Toal / Santos / Forrester / Iredale / Taylor MID : Thomason / Sheehan / Dempsey / Morley / Maghoma / Mendes Gomes FW : Charles / Adeboyejo / Collins / Bodvarsson / Jerome If you then consider that Matheson is on loan somewhere and both Johnston and Nlundulu are out for the season, that's a very strong L1 squad. #noexcuses Our big squad only counts when Evatt and folk want to say how mint it is and that it is by far the best ever. You cannot and will not use this to then justify our squad should be able to cope with the games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted February 7 Moderators Share Posted February 7 Its not a question of should be able to cope It can 'cope' but ideally you want everybody as fit as possible I thought with the numbers we may 'go with what we have' and play shrewsbury but losing collins, sheehan, toal and charles when we are already playing midweeks prob isnt ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 1 hour ago, Marc505 said: Was just messaging a mate about that same thing, wonder if it's a possibility especially if its say 1st v 2nd. Dunno what the preferred TV day/time is for L1 games they're that rare. They can’t punt it to Monday this time or we’d lose one of the spare midweek slots. Sky have a half 12 Saturday slot for EFL and no Championship games announced yet for that date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No championship fixtures on 13th April stand out, no 6 pointers between the top 5 etc. Unless they think Leicester or someone might clinch promotion that day and want to cover it instead of a L1 game. Might also be rules about how many times they can show each L1 team given the slim pickings and that us and Pompey have already been on once.

Is that a question as to whether they could have played it tonight? Might be difficult for fans, but perhaps not a bad idea considering both managers reckon fixtures are piling up.

CambridgeBWFC Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 11 minutes ago, tomski said: Is it easy to get to from London? Yes direct in under an hour from King's Cross, also from Liverpool St but they tend to take longer. Cambridge North Station is closer to stadium, about 20 minute walk but have to dodge more cyclists on a poorly lit path. Also no pubs on that route, just a shit hotel bar at the station.
