Ambitious Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 One thing I know for sure: we aren't winning this game. We won't make it that easy and will go into the last game needing a win for promotion. Cambridge late penalty to draw or win the game - it's inevitable. oodledoodle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I'm quietly confident of a 1975 repeat with the Derby players turning up ratted because all issues have been resolved in our favour...... Reggie Greenwood, Mucker1884 and SKRam 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to adopt better tactics than we did there. In all fairness, despite not playing well. We should have won. The chances that Adams and Waghorn missed were absolute sitters. You could argue if they had fallen to Collins he would have scored both. Carnero and ck- 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaltRam Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Small pitch? Close them down aggressively, look to score on the turnover, and rely on our greatest strength (Cashin and Nelson) to mop up if they get through us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood P Dowd Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 We do need to go for the 3 points and not be dependent on the results of “other” clubs. 1. We want to celebrate promotion at Pride Park 2. Three points on Saturday would surely break the hearts of Bolton and Peterborough.

I doubt that Collins would have been in the box in the first place...he's reverted back to being anywhere but where he needs to be! Gayle on the other hand would have both been in the box at the right time and have had the ability to score both.

He was certainly in the right place for the cross that was touched away from him by an Orient defender last Saturday.

RadioactiveWaste Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Derby win and both Peterborough and Bolton drop points seals, right? Derby, Peterborough and Bolton win we go into the last day 3 points ahead? Is there a scenario where it gets confirmed midweek if Bolton drop points tomorrow, Peterborough win tomorrow and Derby win, but Peterborough drop points in their game in hand?

Only slight caveat is in your second scenario is that Posh need to win their other game for it to go into last day like that.

Chester40 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 The Bolton result was massive, we had no room for error before then. Now, even worst case scenario and we lose and Bolton win. We still play the bottom of the table at home, needing to win and improve our goal difference. And a draw keeps it totally in our hands. It's almost a free hit tomorrow, which for our stress levels and their mentality is massive. No early goal or even a goal against us tomorrow isn't panic stations, as a draw is still 'fine'. I just can't see us not winning at least one of those 2 games and that will be enough I think regardless. We can go out confident but not desperate, gradually put the squeeze on them (they would take a draw I'm sure), don't give them any chances and go for the win but with an eye on not conceding. Can't see us changing much. Back 3 worked, Sibley and Wilson give us an outlet. Also gives us the option of 3 in the middle. Can't see us throwing Bird straight in, Hourihane is being edged out. Adams and Smith have been great. Thompson gives us energy, why change it. Collins starts... NML hasn't been as good as he can be and ends up out of position, but Collins and Washington looked dreadful the other week...so we go again and can change style with CBT coming on wide with NML, Barks can come anywhere along the line and Washington or Waghorn give us more goal threat if needed or a more obvious 2 up top. Can't see any reason anything can go wrong..... 1967Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite feasibly but they play each other on the last day and 3rd place will probably be at stake. I don't see either side resting players for the playoffs if that's the case.

TomTom92 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 The only squeaky bum time will come if we lose tomorrow even if its by 1 goal and Bolton win by 3+ goals. That would mean we're neck and neck going in to the final match and i believe their goals for is better so we'd need to beat their goal difference. If Posh muck up one of their matches this also means that going in to the final match their hopes are all but extinguished and could rest players. That nightmare scenario said, i'd expect us to score more on the last day against Carlisle than Bolton would away to a slightly weaker Posh team. My only caveat would be that Posh's defence is far from solid at the best of times so we couldn't call this a banker. Hopefully we won't put ourselves in this position and at the bare minimum we get a point tomorrow. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we better Bolton and Peterborough's results tomorrow, then its done. A draw is enough in the unlikely scenario that they both lose.
