In 80/81, we went into the last game of the season needing a point to stay up v Brentford.
The only time I can remember us getting by our own efforts on the final game of a season.
It was the last season of 2 points for a win....of our last 13 games we only won the one, but drew 9.. under that system, draws were good results.
The following season, we couldn't adjust and went down to Div 4 for the first time with 52 points....Wimbledon went with 53.
We won 13 and drew 13....6 more wins this season might see us safe.
Was at the Brentford game, I think other results were important, because with about half an hour to go the game changed we were not taking any risks and would be OK as long as we got a point. There could have been a remote chance we needed three points up until that point (if memory serves). Brentford appeared happy with a point and they adopted a similar approach. Kamara and a few other players were swigging champagne in the stand after the game for a "warm-down". I think Brentford helped us, they didn't want to lose the game, and appeared to make little attempt to win it. |

No, I sit in the front row right behind the disabled, and they now do not allow you to go down near the pitch because the disabled fans have complained. I can understand why they would do that whilst the game is going on, but what is wrong with going down near the pitch at half time or after the game.
Fair enough. I took my lad down there before the match, but presumably this is OK? Well tough shit really because we are doing it anyway. |

Why was Wilson so happy after the game. I think for the following reasons:
Did ok without Peacock, Ifil (starting) and Smith, the back four now picks itself.
Macca was effective, will be better with more muscle in central midfield.
Good chance of a midfield loanee (Wilson seemed reasonably confident).
Easton and Kanyuka might be fit for upcoming games.
Only issue was wasteful finishing, and of course the obligatory sloppy goal conceded.

The second half we battered them, we shouldl have had three points.
MK must be happy to go home with a point.
We wlll stay up, it is in our hands.

I'm staggered peope think nalis played well. thought he was laughably bad.
funny old game!
yeah, just as staggering as Morrison getting MOTM. He wasn't even the best centre half in a Town shirt. Now I'm not a Paynter Fan, but he was clearly our best player today |

Surprised nobody has accused him of doing a Cureton an purposely missing to engineer a move by getting us relegated. Or whatever it was Cureton was supposed to have done.

See I am the opposite. Today is weird. I was really chuffed with the performance but it has had the opposite effect on me. Against the likes of Cheltenham and Hartlepool we didnt win but we knew our team could have played better. Today we played really well...BUT...still didnt win. we play poor, we draw we play good, we draw we play well, we still draw Performances go out the window now, it really is all about the points. I'd rather we played fucking gash today and scraped the most un deserved 1-0 win you will ever see in the history of football. |

yeah i see what you are saying dv.
one thing i am sure about is that wilson is evaluating his squad and giving some individuals playing time.i have read some comments thinking marshall was a positive.i thought he did one good thing(tried to beat his man and got a corner out of it)but i dont think we will see him play again.
