I think we'll win, but would be happy with a draw. Win at home and draw away = 92 points and promotion. That's what we're doing ATM and long may it continue. About time the SoL became a fortress again...
I'm hoping Bristol Rovers and Charlton step up to the plate tonight. Don't want Portsmouth and Peterborough getting off to too big a start. Every point is going to count this season.
I'm just looking forward to the match, with 1,999 others in full voice celebrating a good match and 3 points. I'd be fine with one point, too.
Some good results for the other top teams tonight. Posh & Pimpey just shaved it by the looks of things. Barnsley on a bit of a romp We could do with a solid three points to keep up with the leading pack..
That was my point earlier. We need the win to stay in touch even at this early point of the season. Barnsley and Portsmouth will be strong all season and will continue to forge ahead. A draw isn't enough tomorrow. We need to stay in touch until we can get our injured players back.
Nothing was ever decided in August, just be happy we've started as well as we have, recent seasons have seen us hardly pick up a point in August so we're ahead of the game already. Once fully fit our squad is the best in this league by a country mile, keeping them all fit us the issue. Yes a good result tonight will keep up momentum but it's far too soon to be concerned about whose started well imo.
I'm like a 5yr old on Christmas Eve in anticipation of going tonight. Excited as fook Sacked the car idea off. Getting the train down so I can have a few scoops along the way.
The M25 is permanently busy and slows to a crawl every night from J23 (A1) to the Dartford Tunnel around 4-5pm onwards. When I'm working I see it every night.
These are games we need to win, and I think we will. Players are thriving with the positive atmosphere, we are getting fitter, first half Saturday showed the players are forming into a team. I think the top 3 and us will last the course, and we just need to turn the screw. I noted Luton have a very comfortable home win last night and again using these things to gauge is so far, Peterborough were apparently outplayed by Charlton, Barnsley look strong and always were going to be, Championship club. I don’t buy into away points being great in this league, not for a club of our size. Some games yes, some sides are solid with bits of quality but overall the quality is dire and we have brought in SPL and Championship players, all playing with pride, with the fans doing what we haven’t for years and fully supporting. We can’t be happy with draws with Gillingham. I’ll accept it as a ‘solid point’ if we draw but we want to be winning these games for sure. We are a shark in a fish tank.
I know. I work all round the SE and E Anglia and often get caught up in it. It's closed from Waltham Abbey down to the A127 anti clockwise today because of a lorry spillage. I've got to wait for the other half to get back from Essex before I can set off.
