Remembering that game vs reading when we needed a point to finish 6th.....

Surely it won't happen again 😬

Beat me to it. 

also, I had to go search it out so I could relieve that day: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53412704#:~:text=Nottingham Forest's season imploded against,finished in the top six.

(the Forest result, not our reading result).

Forget the Reading game, forget what happened to Forest, those were 2 out of form teams trying to grimly hang on to 6th place. This is an in-form team riding high in 2nd with 1 defeat in 10 and only 4 goals conceded. No comparison.

I expect one of Bolton or Peterbrough to win big next saturday, if posh lose in midweek i expect it to be Bolton, but if posh win their midweek game, they might just have one of thier days.

I expect us to be bag of nerves being shredded by a nerve shredding machine as time ticks away at nil nil. I think we'll prevail, but i expect the absolute wringer before we do. Obviously, it'd be nice to blow Carlisle away and be 3 up by half time, but, that's not why we love Derby County.

i don't get all the worry its plain we need 1 point so the ball is in our court. peterboro need to win both and turn over a large goal difference .peterboro wont find Cheltenham easy because of relegation problems. lets not worry about them lets just win and get where we should be.

Posh v Bolton has got a draw written all over it

Rams will score early to put the nerves to bed Saturday I’m going for 3 or 4-0 COYR 👏🎶🐏⚽️🍻👍

[BramcoteRam84]

For anyone bringing up the reading game I will raise Barnsley under Rowett and West Brom under Lampard where we got decisive victories in the last game of the season at home to make the playoffs.

We’ll get this done

Lets also give Simmo a warm welcome. A decent player, ex assistant manager and he has also beat cancer. Well done to him.

Against bottom of the league who have already been relegated

Think 4th could well be a better position than 3rd to finish (Barnsley are not in great form). Could be a factor for Posh?

sounds like Peterborough have already thrown in the towel

I have watched some highlights of Carlisle games recently including their loss to Wycombe yesterday & they are woeful in defence including at set pieces. I think if we go at them with pace & energy early doors we will get 1 or 2 goals to calm everyones nerves. That way this PBoro vs Bolton game is irrelevant

No, it should be renamed “if the unthinkable happens”. Just because we are debating what might happen elsewhere if we do slip up doesn’t mean to say any of us really think it’s likely to happen.

Is there prize money for 3rd and 4th place?

Neither Bolton or Posh should be bothered about play off opponents and, unless Posh get hammered by Cheltenham, it will be a shootout for 3rd/4th.

I thought Posh were in a bit of financial bother so can’t imagine their Chairman would sanction a “can’t be arsed” approach…..if there is prize money that’s worth having.

I always thought there was prize money from top to bottom on a sliding scale.

I can't see anything to confirm numbers, but it would appear so:

Figures from last year, winners got £600k, runner up got £500k, with the average across all teams to £230k.

Good point.  I think we remember the Reading game because of the way the season collapsed in the last 10-12 games, well I do anyway.  T going into that game we were on a shocking run of form.  Plus, it’s a typically British trait to look on the dark side and imagine the worst.

This season is totally different.  We’re in good form, we’re playing bottom of the league at home and we don’t need to rely on anyone else.  When it’s come down to clinching automatic promotion we can get over the line.  We did in 86, 87 and 96.
