forever a red and white Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 okay play-offs even more unlikely now but... as it stands Exeter 1-0 Colchester we can still hope.
SNSUN Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 Other people said it - looking at the fixture list, Brighton was potentially the hardest game of the last 9. Picking up a point coulod prove to be a bonus, get behind the boys at Leyton Orient. (I thought we had had it to get to the play-offs after the Tranmere game, but I will continue to believe. An Exeter win would be a great result for us today. Fingers crossed Brizzle lose too.)

Window Cleaner Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 okay play-offs even more unlikely now but... as it stands Exeter 1-0 Colchester we can still hope. Colchester really aren't the best barometer to use.If they fail then Huddersfield probably won't. Our chances of reaching the POs depends on what happens to 3 or 4 teams, not just Colchester. If they lose today Huddersfield could move above them by beating Wycombe tomorrow.Nothing changes for us, we're still 11 points off of the play-offs all the same.Even Brizzle and MK Dons are still in the mix if the Us nose dive,providing Huddersfield do the same.

ottery st mary Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 We have a much easier end of Season compared with both Huddersfield and Colchester HT Exeter 1 Colchester 0 Hope they win for our sake...Down to go but caught a really bad cold..... Exeter should pull well clear with a victory..Colchester on the slide hopefully. COYRs and Exeter.
Window Cleaner Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 But we are currently only 8 points behind Huddersfield who I think will finish above Colchester It's still 8 points that we've got to make up come what may.What I am saying is that the more teams above us (whatever the points difference may be) the less chance we have of making up the difference over all of them will be. If we were to win all of our games then Colchester would have to not win at least 4, Huddersfield at least 3 etc etc etc.With each game that we fail to make up points over all of them the difficulty increases.

I still dont think we will make it but it wont be by much but I cannot see Colchester Winning too many Colchester v Millwall, 13:00 Saturday, 10 April 2010 Colchester v Swindon, 15:00 Tuesday, 13 April 2010 Charlton v Colchester, 19:45 Saturday, 17 April 2010 Hartlepool v Colchester, 15:00 Saturday, 24 April 2010 Colchester v Tranmere, 15:00 Saturday, 1 May 2010 Huddersfield v Colchester, 15:00 Saturday, 8 May 2010 Colchester v Leyton Orient, 15:00 Edited 2 April, 2010 by John B
Ian the Red Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 We can get 78 points only if we win all 8 games. Bristol will be our most difficult match not the lot we played last night. If we win the next 4 and the results for HUd, Col, Bristol go our way we might just have a chance......
S-Clarke Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 on another note, Aaron Martin has scored to put Sailsbury 1 up. Good for him to get out and have some games again, can imagine him being in and around the squad next season after we lose Perry and Thomas.

Huddersfield have 7 winnable games out of 8.That's more than enough to put us right out of the picture. If they win 5 of them we'll be toast on the play-off front.

If they win 5 of them we'll be toast on the play-off front. But its not just about Colchester and Huddersfield... Charlton also have a difficult fixture list, are in poor form and also have to visit St Mary's. "Possible" Saints and Huddersfield replace Colchester and Charlton in the playoffs.

If they win 5 of them we'll be toast on the play-off front. Of course I realise that but there is still a chance the other teams can fail whilst the Saints prosper and the season is not over yet

If we were to win all of our games then Colchester would have to not win at least 4, Huddersfield at least 3 etc etc etc.With each game that we fail to make up points over all of them the difficulty increases. Worth remembering that Huddersfield host Colchester on 1 May, so either one or both will not win at least one. Colchester have a very difficult run in: Millwall (H), Swindon (H), Charlton (A), Hartlepool (A), Tranmere (H), Huddersfied (A), Orient (H) - they will do well to win more than 2 of those. Huddersfield have Wycombe (A), Brentford (H), Walsall (H), Millwall (H), Stockport (A), Colchester (H) and Exeter (A) - at least 3 tricky ones not including Colchester. I know we won't do it, but it could get quite close if we can put in some good performances.

I know we won't do it, but it could get quite close if we can put in some good performances. But we won't achieve the "minimum" ie getting into the play-offs. I'm not worried about it but the play-offs were a minimum requirement just a couple of weeks back. What happens when that minimum isn't achieved I have absolutely no idea. It's not the fans who keep on and on and on about the play-offs, it's the staff and players.
terrypward Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 Carlisle 2-1 up, all three goals in the last 5/6 mins - Rovers a man down as well.
markr27 Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 Carlisle are currently winning against Bristol Rovers 2-1...
Ian the Red Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 Bristol losing 2 - 1 to Car an dBrist had a player sent off Col still losing to Exeter
John B Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 Bristol losing 2 - 1 to Car an dBrist had a player sent off Col still losing to Exeter Carlisle 3 1 Bristol Rovers
Saint_Si Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 These are bloody brilliant results for us. The play-offs still arent out of reach!
itchen_dan Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 Exeter now 2 up v Colchester! - The season is still alive... just
Matthew Le God Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 Need Wycombe to do something special at Adams Park tomorrow.
Dig Dig Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 This is really it! There have been a couple of times this season where we havn't capitalised on the slip ups of those we are chasing. Hopefully this will really fire up the lads for Monday.................it's not over yet!
markr27 Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 Need Wycombe to do something special at Adams Park tomorrow. ...and a draw at the Moo Camp between MK Dons and Charlton...
John B Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 ...and a draw at the Moo Camp between MK Dons and Charlton... I would prefer a home win
Legod Third Coming Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 Two good results today very good. By Monday evening we can be eight off Colchester with a game in hand!! The dream lives on!
Saintandy666 Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 If Colchester lose on monday and we win, that would be 8 points behind with 1 game in hand. Monday will tell all. Colchester are playing Millwall.
WATERSIDEIFASAINT Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 If Huddersfield and Charlton don't win tomorrow then it will start to look very interesting again. Great results today and I think too many people on here assume that teams like Charlton,Colchester and huddersfield will win at places like Exeter. I think Huddersfield or Charlton or maybe both will slip up away at Exeter like Leeds,Colchester and we have. There will be more twists and turns in this play off race yet.Colchester will not make the play offs imo when you look at their fixture list.It is whether we can catch Huddersfield or Charlton
positivepete Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 So if Norwich lose to Tranmere, (2-0 down after 10 mins and with only 10 men) how does that make our result at Tranmere look? Paul Lambert Out!!!

markr27 Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 (edited) If there were awards for League One's worst refereeing performances of 2009/2010, Eddie Ilderton at Tranmere would be in with a shout. He missed such an obvious handball a blind man could see it for Tranmere's third goal! Nil marks for the lino also for the 1st penalty decision as well. Edited 2 April, 2010 by markr27
JibMcdo Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 Hope Glasgow is watching his team play at Tranmere because they are getting stuffed.
doddisalegend Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 Holt has just scored 3-1. Lambert sent off to the stands.
.comsaint Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 Holt has just scored 3-1. Lambert sent off to the stands. Sent off to the stands for kicking the ball whilst its on the pitch...and his assistant also sent off for foul & abusive language. lol
doddisalegend Posted 2 April, 2010 Posted 2 April, 2010 Norwich lose to Tranmere, Millwall manage a draw with Brentford at home. Puts some of our results in prospective IMO.

alpine_saint Posted 3 April, 2010 Posted 3 April, 2010 Feck me, could last nights results have gone any better ? The playoffs are still on - but NO MORE F**K UPS
BadgerBadger Posted 3 April, 2010 Posted 3 April, 2010 Feck me, could last nights results have gone any better ? The playoffs are still on - but NO MORE F**K UPS It's so frustrating that all these slip ups by the teams we nee dto catch are not being capitalised on by winning our games - although I fear we have a few more f**k ups left and we will ultimatley rue our missed opportunities. I want us to miss out through other teams good form not a lack of our inability to capitalise
skintsaint Posted 3 April, 2010 Posted 3 April, 2010 Saints need to win every game which they wont as we cant win away from home consistantly.
BristolSaint Posted 3 April, 2010 Posted 3 April, 2010 they need to rely on other teams not winning as well. I think home game vitories and draws away from home would be enough. Colchester and Charlton can be caught Victories in the next 2 games are a must.

Colchester and Charlton can be caught Victories in the next 2 games are a must. I don't see Monday being a problem. On paper it looks like being one of the most one sided games in the division all season. We've been resting since Thursday night, they still have to play today and their current form is poor.

As it turned out they where right Tranmere probably haven't had an easier game all season:p
Legod Third Coming Posted 3 April, 2010 Posted 3 April, 2010 Feck me, could last nights results have gone any better ? The playoffs are still on - but NO MORE F**K UPS You should get some sleep!!! But I agree. If they go our way again on Monday someone is looking after us and we need to ensure we don't let him down!!
Dalek2003 Posted 3 April, 2010 Posted 3 April, 2010 We will get a bit closer, but ultimately run out of games.
