For us to have any chance of overhauling them I think they will need to lose one or two of their away games ( I’m pinning my hopes on Shrews and Exeter away), as I can’t see them slipping up at home now. Meanwhile we can’t afford any slip ups. A tall order unfortunately. But we’ll see …

Think Plymouth deserve the 2nd spot, Hallam......, especially with them being in 2 places at once on May 7th. That will be impressive!

Joking aside....., April 7th will be a big weekend....., them at Morecambe, (got to win that)....., and Ipswich in a proper banana skin at home to Wycombe.

Today is huge though. Must take care of Shrewsbury. It is not a gimme by any means.

Plymouth appear that jammy they probably will be in 2 places at the end of the season , hedging their bets so to speak lol

I’m not sure why you’re only focusing on Plymouth and don’t see it as a three horse race ?

If Sheffield Wednesday drop points at Barnsley on Tuesday Night they’re back in the mix especially with 6 away games and a final day fixture v Derby who may well be playing to secure a place in the Play Offs.

I'm not sure why you're not focusing on Barnsley and don't see it as a four horse race ?

I’m not sure if your question is aimed at Liz or myself CB but at this moment Indeed I do see Barnsley included in the race for promotion which is why I added their fixtures in the “April Fixtures thread” also started by Hallam, I think she just likes to spread the discussion to add confusion. I guess the slight difference with Barnsley is that they’re still behind us with games in hand which count for nothing compared with points in the bag. Let’s focus on catching the leaders up first and worry about the ones behind us later. How much we need to worry about Barnsley will become clearer about 10pm Tuesday night after their game v Sheffield Wednesday has finished. Without doing the maths I’m not sure exactly what result suits us best.

I'm terrible confused. We need another thread to straighten this out. Town v Barnsley run-ins, Hallam?

It might become clearer at 5pm GMT tonight if we lose today. Why have we assumed that Plymouth and Sheff Wed will/might drop points.... and not us?

TBH.... Every team will drop points, but if Sheff Wed drop points - even on Tuesday - they've got a few more bites at the cherry to get over the line.

Tbh this race for a top two place is changing by the week now. But it would be fair to say it’s a four horse race. But for most of the season it’s been between us and Plymouth . Then SW put in their run, and leapfrogged the pair of us….now that appears to be changing. It’s going down to the wire I think. Which is why I didn’t want t(e game postponed between us and Barnsley, because we can’t afford to lose our current momentum. But it’s not to be , and we now have two weeks kick8mg our heels. I think personally it will affect us , because we are very much the form side right now, with Barnsley just behind that (well that’s how it feels). Plymouth will get a big psychological boost from playing and gaining points on us whilst we kick our heels, and making that gap between us bigger. Games in hand don’t equal points in the bag. I think psychology and mind set will play as bigger part in who gets a top two place, as will who has the best squad. But it’s going down to the final game of the season.

Tang, I didn’t create the Plymouth / Town run in , I nicked it off TWTD poster. But I agree with you it’s most definitely
Got to include Barnsley now.

Edit. I’ve amended that initial post re the run in fixture list to include all potential four candidates for promotion via top two slots . ….Town, Barnsley, Plymouth , Sheff Wed.

I noticed yesterday that Forest Green restricted Plymouth to Two shots on goal and both bloody went in.

[hallamblue]

That’s what I meant yesterday when I said they’re a jammy bunch of gits!!
