The other day Rudy said we were 250-1 to win the league.

I put £10 on at 150-1.

Decent odds for a team on a roll.

Isn't it 4/11 to get promoted?

That would include via the playoffs.

Those odds are auto promotion.

I've been surprised how much football is played in Div2. Not as much hoofball as I expected. As said previously the main difference between Div2 and Div 1, is probably the standard of finishing.

Yeh me too. Every team tries to get it down & play on the floor and most players get their heads up & at least try & play the pass, very little hoofball unless its defenders clearing their lines. Not seen anyone totally shite & that includes Sarfend & Grimsby.

Strange, you can get the same for just promotion.

We were shit at Grimsby, crawled over the line against Carlisle and struggled to beat 10 men at Morecambe - then that crap on Saturday. It’s not going to be easy but we can do this. You never know Bradford might even turn up. I am still fuming over that second half Saturday; they know what they need to do so bloody do it

Shit, crawled, struggled, crap 

That's been our run since jan but at the same time a bit assured 

I think there's only been 3 games i enjoyed 

Scunthorpe and Oldham because we went two up, and Mansfield because we scored 3 in ten mins 

The rest have been tense 

But I've seen enough to think we will do it in the least enjoyable fashion 

Morecambe 4-0 after an hour and we scrape it in injury time

Top 3 were 2/5, Morecambe 7/4.

It’s a good point. I think if you look at the past and in some cases ahead to the future, some of our players have been/could be/should be, playing at a higher level. But currently they are not and there’s reasons for that. Take Lee and John for example. More often than not they look a cut above this level, but Johns performances have been off the last couple of games and we’ve seen Lee miss a few sitters in this good run. His bad injury has put him in the gamble category for a league 2 club, which fortunately has worked out well for us.

Like you I’m hoping their experience along with the other mature performers out there like Gilks, Baptiste, Williams, Sarcevic and Doyle will be enough to see us over the line

Fingers crossed. Keep it tight first 15, dont concede, and i think we will be fine.

Just score more goals than them - easy.

Well done, Crawley at Gatwick already 

I reckon so

Yes

No

No

I’m liking your consistency. You’ve been saying no all season.

Top three of L2 is top half of L1 in anyone's books. Start up the ressies again and add a dead ball player for more goals and we'll go up

Haven't wanted to jinx us so not posted on here until now. So, in answer to the thread question..

FUCKING YES!! 😃

Did we ever find out who any of the trialists were ?

Santos was the obvious one, and IIRC he played all of the game

Bright doo dah played and scored, i think 

Baptiste played. Doyle and Amoateng scored screamers.

Incredible job by Evatt and Atherton, I must include Atherton, think he’s big part of the success.
