I'm not surprised they're resting players, will be something like 9 matches in 35 days taking the two playoff games into account

I know how I'd be feeling if I was Burton or Cambridge, they will be fuming.  Especially Cambridge being local rivals of Posh, probably equivalent of someone like Blackpool playing their reserves v one of our rivals, it will be perceived as just trying to relegate a team they don't get on with.

I still can't get my head around Norwich being more north than Birmingham.

 

Aye my definition of northern is north of Birmingham 

Doubt folk in Norwich will take kindly to that

Bradford having a go at sneaking into the L2 playoffs from nowhere.

[DirtySanchez]

Or if it's mentioned in It's Grim up North by the JAMMS or KLF

[Wanderlust]

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.

Donny have come from absolutely nowhere to come into it.  Form team.

Hopefully they drop off I'm not going there again.

[Wanderlust]

Another chance spurned by the Robins. Headed over from 6 yds

If carty had stayed fit, edl craig wouldve been in meltdown

Tbh, when he went there, it was odd they were so far off

Not so much in the way of decent trips remaining in rest of play offs, maybe take Barrow or Crawley to tick them off.

Think we get a half tick for standing in their car park in lockdown 😀

Its mad isn't it.  In March they had 3 consecutive home games: lost 5-1 to Mansfield, 3-0 to out of form Notts County, and 2-0 to relegated FGR.  Then lost 3-0 at Harrogate.  Bradford were 17th, Doncaster 18th a month ago today, now they could both be in the play offs.

Looking at results not sure Bradford could've been 17th if Doncaster 18th?

 this would be Doncaster's 10th win in a row

Whereas Bradford 4 in 5

In any case 

We showed where a good run in L2 gets you

[Wanderlust]

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.

[Burndens Bogs]

Are Posh not throwing this game so that it’s highly likely they play massively out of form Barnsley in the semi, instead of an in form Lincoln or Oxford?

If we score 4 own goals then they would finish 3rd 🤦‍♂️

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.

Risky business that.

I read today the national league play off between Solihull and Gateshead that was meant to be today was called off and Gateshead chucked out because they don't have a lease on their ground lasting 10 years.  So the EFL won't let them in.  First I've heard of this type of thing, seems unbelievable bad luck for their players to play all season for no reward, it would be like Oxford being told on Sunday they aren't allowed in the championship with a 3 sided ground or whatever.

First I'd heard of that rule too.

Mind you it doesn't look the best...

Bradford had 50 points from 39 games.  Now on 66 from 45.

Donny had 49 from 38, now 70 from 45.  They were a point behind 17th placed Bradford with a game in hand.

[Wanderlust]

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.
