said for a month or so now, our regular season is done, and the games feel weird and a bit like pre season 

we put 5 in at exeter and the atmosphere was crap 

everyone waiting for the playoffs 

cardiff was always penned in for me this season, but I've no interest at all now 

waiting for the season to end and get cracking with the playoffs 

I wonder why Plymouth was so good?

One of the best aways for a long time.

You’d have thought we’d just gone top of the league on the final whistle! 😂

If I was going it'd be for the jolly and in genuine hope we can beat them and at least make a fist of the last few weeks of the season.

As it stands I can't drink so the jolly is fucked and driving there and back can get fucked. 

If we were neck and neck I'd have done it mind.

But I'll stick to shouting at the the telly and arguing with the in-game hystericals on ere

Why can you not drink?

Got a marathon in 10 days time my mate.

I'm on water and electrolytes by the bucket load ha

I could drink but a drink for me usually leads to 3 days worth

Wish I could get back into running- fucked my shoulder up doing the Worcester 10k 18 months ago and it’s still not right. Still do a couple of circuit classes a week but my fitness is really down

Biggish/full away end, big ground/crowd, unexpected win even before the game and more so with 10 men.

Exeter - shit ground/away end, small crowd; expected to win and it was even more comfortable than anticipated. 

Nobody ever created a great atmosphere at Exeter (or Northampton, Stevenage, Wimbledon, Burton etc).

Easier said than done, but would hate to see us settle for (another) draw in this game. I'm sure Cardiff would take the point, but it does nothing for us. It's a free hit.

Settling or setting out for a draw I agree. To be honest I don’t think that’s ever Schumacher’s way.

Crazy really when you consider how many draws we’ve actually had! But off the top of my head I can’t think of a game where we set out or ended up settling for a draw.

But if the context is battling back to get a draw, showing some mettle before the play-offs that would be ok IMO

I think Stevenage, Bradford and Lincoln (a) we seemed generally happy with a point. You're right though in that we've rarely given ourselves that luxury - of the 12 draws we've had that didn't finish 0-0, we've come from behind in 10 of them.

No-one will be too angry if we equalise late on again tomorrow - such is the nature of late goals and comebacks - but I'm not sure that'd tell us anything we don't already know. We've shown time and time again we can rescue situations to a point (just not to the point of truly challenging for automatic promotion).

What we haven't shown is the ability to avoid being in those bad situations in the first place. Tomorrow is a great opportunity to do that and show real intent against a side with shaky confidence where we have nothing to lose.

[Whitesince63]

I’m not sure we’ve nothing to lose because a point whilst not our preferred score is better than losing but definitely we need to going out to win it. The problem is what injuries and illness we have that Schuey was referring to? Hopefully not our forwards because we know ACD isn’t fit to start and we’d be struggling without Dalby, Kenny and Burstow. Will Josh be up to another 90 minutes because we know Erhahon and Simon’s are out. Whatever the team I’m hoping they can do enough and bring back the 3 points?

Control is perhaps an overplayed, overrated term in football but we've got through 40 games this season and those we've been in any real control of, even for a decent chunk of the 90 minutes, have been countable on the fingers of one hand. 

It'd be nice to find the key to not putting ourselves in those holes to dig out of a time or two in the rest of the season

In Cardiff last night. What a belting city centre it is. Can't remember much from play offs v Preston. Bumped into a few Wanderers including Simon Marland. COYWs.

I do enjoy a trip to Cardiff, need to find a reason to visit over the summer.

Hope all the wanderers there today have a lovely day.

[RUREADY2ROLL]

Wish I was going today; watching on Sky is much more stressful. 
 

can’t go until the playoffs now

[Bertie]

Will be interesting to see the team today. Unless Schuey was playing mind games we could have a few surprises missing with injuries/illness based on what he said in the pre-match interview.  Thin on the ground atm, but better now I guess than in the playoffs.
