Earning 105 points over the course of a season and still not neing garaunteed automatic promotion is insane

No real damage done. Looked a lot worse at one point.

Would have preferred Stevenage to have held on (still prefer them than either Plymouth or Luton) but not too arsed either way.

Bradford will be fuming having played 10 men for 80 mins.

Stockport have thrown away a 2 goal lead, conceded in injury time and conceded 3 to a terrible Exeter team.

Meanwhile they’ve all spotted that we’re never out of it and have yet another goal in injury time.

That’ll do

Stockport’s players haven’t been home in over a week apparently. Can’t be great preparation for them.

3 home games for them now but still playing Tuesday / Saturday for the next couple of weeks.

To be fair to them, their form is holding up in the league - I just think the fixture pile up and injuries they’ve got are far from ideal to be hitting the play offs with.

Cant get away from their main striker playing centre back - it’s proper old school. Imagine us heading towards the play offs with Dalby turning out at centre back 😂 (and just conceding 3 to Exeter). We’d be wondering whether there’s even any point in getting in them in the first place.

Meanwhile, in very different circumstances to Tuesday, we’ve just had a massive shot in the arm confidence boost.

I know I’m picking the positives to suit our own situation, it’s obviously biased and might count for fuck all in a couple of weeks. I just think Stockportways will be very worried right now!

And he got beaten to the ball by Exeter's sub keeper for the equaliser.

We have been very lucky today.

At one point we were losing and Bradford winning with everyone else to play. Playoffs were looking vulnerable 

two late goals in the early kick offs and we retain a two point lead over Bradford. Late goals in the 3pm kick offs at Stevenage and Exeter and Stockport and Stevenage don’t get an advantage. I know Luton pulled two goals back to get a draw but I would have taken that before kick off ( they need to win there last three games and turn around 11 goal difference against us if we lose at Bradford) 

 

Only bad result was Plymouth winning; we need Bradford to get at least a draw Tuesday night

Didn't Ian Marshall turn out for us at CB and as a striker?

Yes - it stops Plymouth going over us

Theres nothing lucky in us never giving up and scoring yet again after 90 minutes. Its not luck or a coincidence, its a mentality and a belief.

People who keep writing us off before weve even got to half time are, quote, "dipsticks".

Same as them who leave early!

After Max sky'ed that 'cross' into the North upper on 99 minutes, I presumed the ref would blow as soon as they took the goal kick. We always stay til the end anyway but wanted to applaud them at the end for their brave efforts.

Their guy then runs it into the corner before losing it and I'm thinking, "he'll blow as soon as Bonham boots this up".  He doesn't. On the clips on Twitter you can see folk leaving the lower East as Sissoko plays it up to ACD! 

The bedlam that followed will stay with me forever 😀

We'll get something at Bradford, maybe even win and we'll beat Luton.

No panic, the Whites are going up.

Spurs getting relegated reminds me of the time Leicester won the league.

Its Never going to happen

Surely not

It's happened

And add a game onto Tutu's ban for a frivilous appeal ?

Aye, alright.

If it was the same as yesterday then the ref has made a mistake today.

Absolutely no point us appealing.

Do they travel home via Magaluf, as well, or are they paying for a train home?

[deeane Koontz]

Sounds like a mad game villa vs sunderland

Warhurst. 

Maybe Ian Marshall too, but not too sure.
