It was a 💩 day in terms of the results BUT it was no more of a 💩 day than we were realistically expecting. There, will that do it? Nah, I will stick to my view that our 3 rivals winning quite handsomely, in footballing terms, constitutes a pretty 💩 day. These teams have all slipped up recently and I was hoping that at least one of them, Bolton especially, might slip up again, against an improving Reading side. So, if expected or not, I am still disappointed with the way results went today. Is that ok with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 If they were bad teams they wouldn't be promotion rivals? Just got to keep winning, and if we lose tomorrow, win the rest. Lets be honest, if we win tomorrow is anyone at all confidant we wouldn't throw in anothe northampton performance in the next game?

SSD Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I still think 3 wins will do it. I think some of us forget it's really a 4 point gap because of our superior goal difference. I think Bolton will need 91 points to finish 2nd. They need 13 points out of 15 to reach it. I'll be amazed if they do it, they're lacking the consistency, even more than us. If we get 3 wins and a draw, Bolton would have to win every game to overtake us. The odds are massively in our favour. A defeat against Pompey wouldn't be a complete disaster but we really need to try and gain at least a point if possible. Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t understand why you couldn’t gracefully accept that I thought you were both right and, despite your stated desire to draw a line underneath this, you feel unable to unless you have the last word.😀 We were all hoping that at least one of them would slip up again but, the fact that they didn’t means that results went according to expectations but not to our hopes. Just as a small aside. They didn’t all win quite handsomely. It was a good win for Posh but I wouldn’t call 1:2 as a handsome win.

I don’t understand why we are even debating it, results all went against us today. I would think the majority of Rams fans will be disappointed, like me. Shall we leave it there?

BUT, the results were no worse than we probably realistically expected. Only the Bolton score line was worse (by a couple of goals) than most of us expected.

TigerTedd Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 If we lose any of our last three games, that would be a s*** day. But I’d expect us to win all of those, and if we do, we’re up. Simple as. If we get a result tomorrow, that will be a good day, but if we loose, it’s really not the end of the world. A disappointing day does not make a s*** day. I’m disappointed when I don’t win the lotto on a Saturday, but it’s not really worth crying about. I’d have a lot of s*** days if that was my barometer.

I was hopeful that Reading would get a point, same with Orient. Jehovah Jehovah 🤣 Where did I say "It could have been worse"? I agree, it could have been better, but literally everything went to form. That makes it an average day in my book. I guess we just have a different outlook on life/football/DCFC? I don't think that makes either of us wrong. I've seen today's results. I'm not jumping for joy admittedly... but I most certainly ain't having a s*** day! 🤣 Hey... seriously buddy... I appreciate you see today as a s*** day... My bad for calling you out on it... and hand on heart, I truly hope you fair better tomorrow. Shakira, Shakira. 🍻 EDIT: Apologies...

Why are you bringing my general outlook on life in to a discussion about whether our 3 main rivals all winning constitutes a 💩 footballing day? I have had a very positive day, quality day with the family, just become a great uncle again and planning our summer holiday in the South of France. Also got the week off. So a very happy Jimbo Ram. You are entitled to your opinion…..bizarre as it might be, but I will stick to, in footballing terms, and with regards to the 🐏, a disappointing day 🤣 EDIT Not able to draw a line under it as certain people keep posting a load of nonsense 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OoooMarkWright Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 IF we lose tomorrow, we could quite conceivably go into our next game v Wycombe being level on points with Bolton. A point would be great. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Bolton did well seeing as they're down to the bare bones. If you don't include the current League 1 player of the year who got a hat trick today and cost them almost a million quid of course I feel for them, I really do.

No result is nailed on in this league (as Posh proved against Carlisle) but I expected Posh to beat Orient. Same with Reading. I HOPED they would get something at Bolton but certainly didn’t expect them to. Edited April 2 by Tamworthram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
