Yeovil v Millwall19:45

I guess we have to hope that Carlisle and Yeovil do us a favour, much like Exeter did to Millwall and Leeds last night...

Carlisle seem to have the hoodoo against Lids. Ken Bates wanted this game tonight played behind closed does due to alleged incidences by celebrating fans after Carlisle's win in the JPT.

Carlisle have won 4, lost 1 of their last 5 home games, although their season home record is average. They do have a good record against leeds though so I'm quite optimistic of leeds dropping some points there.  Leeds do have the leagues 2nd best away record though.

Yeovil have won 2, lost 3 of their last 5 at home.  Millwall have won 4 drawn 1 of their last 5 away, although they only have the 6th best away record overall.

My predictions tonight:

leeds draw
millwall win
charlton draw

i reckon you could have that right mr todd.
infact i've had a punt on those very results

We should all jinx it and put a double on leeds, millwall both winning.

I've put on a treble of Millwall, Charlton & Leeds so they guarantee's not all of them will win!  :D

I did Milwall and Lids to win, anyone who knows me realises this can only be good for Swindon.

I'm watching Colchester and Huddersfield tonight. For me it's more important that they drop points now so we can ensure a play-off spot. I can't see Millwall slipping up at all. Leeds might but we need both of them to slip up twice in the last 5 games.

Norwich losing!! Brighton winning...

Notts County were winning and getting promoted.

Meh, no point in worrying what we can't control. Just got to (try and) win our games and see what happens. Pressure can do funny things to a team.

Richard fucking Naylor again

disallowed.

Leeds 1-0 up

cunting Leeds.

1-0 up

Alex Revell has scored for Wycombe....

Charlton 1-0

Nicky fucking Forster

Brentfords good form continues.

1-0 up against Southend.

Calm yourself down Dave :)

It was out of our hands after Colchester. Our lot have to just try and keep up.

Not going well  :(

Udders 1-0 up and Walsall a man down.

Ah well, least one of Walsall's better defenders is out for Saturday.

Automatic promotion is out of our hands.

Actually finishing in the top 6 is still in our hands.

Rovers 1-0 Southampton

Super Glovers

Fucking get in Yeovil!

yeovil beating wall

So Charlton winning is a good thing!

If Colchester lose tonight we could confirm a play-off spot on Saturday. Don't think Rovers or Saints can catch us now.

I think draw is best for us, so both drop points in that game.

Certainly is. If I'm honest I've kept my eyed on Colchester and Huddersfield's form ahead of the automatics... The Easter weekend was dreamland :D

Now we just need Ian Harte to level it!

Wohoo Yeovil 1-0 up!

Orient 2-1 Norwich.

Nobody wants promotion it seems.

We need Leeds to drop points. We can catch Millwall, as long as we're within 2 points of them for the final game.

Norwich 86
Leeds 80
---------------
Millwall 78
Charlton 77
Swindon 77
Huddersfield 71
---------------------
Colchester 68
Rovers 64
Southampton 60

Sounds like Yeovil are on top.

Nice one Yeovil! Come on Carslile!

Lets hope Rovers can get somehting out of their game. I had a sick feeling looking at the remaining fixtures today that Saints, with their run in and game in hand, could sneak into the play-offs.

And Charlton

They'll also be missing a defender on Saturday!

seems like the leeds / charlton game in a few weeks will have both their seasons riding on it!!!

As I've been saying for weeks, that's the scenario that scares me the most. I fancy our chances against all the other top teams in the playoffs, but not Southampton - they could easily turn us over. Sooner their season is over the better.

Not too fussed. As it stands only GD seperates that.

Also interesting that Norwich are losing. Leeds can go within 6 points of them with 4 to play. Certainly not clear cut.

We've done them twice and we'd do them again. Leeds worry me more.

Southampton wont make the play offs anyway.

Lids fan Beagrie says they should be 3-0 up by now....

We have proved this season that we can beat anyone on our day. the only team we have to worry about is ourselves

FUCK YES!!!

Carlisle have equalised...

sOUTHAMPTON equalizer n all.

yess -fucking hate leeds

Fucking hell I really didn't expect this. Half a game to go yet though.

Southampton score again

Bet that went down well, fatty lambert at the gas!!!!

Fatboy just scored again at Wovers

A draw at Charlton and that would be a perfect set of results!

i would love it if it stayed like this

We've done them twice and we'd do them again. Southampton would have massive momentum if they got in the play-offs, Leeds would just have their fans on their backs. Not to mention half of them would have their agents on speed dial - too many individuals, not enough team

Interesting...

As it stands  - League One table

HT

Carlisle 1-1 Leeds
Yeovil 1-0 Millwall

Fucking hell thats tight, And yes so'ton are looking ominous!!!

I can't see Saints making it as long as Huddersfield keep winning.

yeah, this.

Specially when the beat millwall on Friday night!!!

Udders 2-0 Walsall

Yeah hopefully.

I still believe that if win win our next 3 games a point at millwall will be enough for autos

I like you :)

Bollocks. i wanted everyone to think i was a cunt like the rest!!! :D

I think we'll beat Walsall and Wycombe, but draw with Brentford. I hope that's enough!

Udders last home game is against Colchester, so that could decide the final play-off space.

Exeter have both Charlton and Udders at home in the run in.

you're a cunt.

***IF*** results stay the same tonight, ie Millwall losing then 3 wins and a draw might do us. Millwall might drop points at Huddersfield.

Although that completely ignores Leeds - if they win their last 4 then they will go up ahead of us if we pick up 10 points.

Leeds 2-1

Gradel cunt

CUNTSTICKS!

Bollocks 3-1 now.

3-1 Leeds

I don't really give two fucks, I'd rather focus on our own results. Yeah it'd be nice if other teams lost, but I don't want us to be reliant on other games.

bit late for that really.

We're not reliant on other sides for a guaranteed play-off place but we are for 2nd spot.

Alot can change in football.

We have 3 very winnable games now and Leeds and Millwall have some tough away games.

Spunkhouse has just scored  :cunt:

Why would you not care how your rivals do?? ??? If Millwall and Leeds lose all their games and we win ours, we go up. If we win all ours and they win all theirs, we don't go up. The fact is we are reliant on other results whether we like it or not.

we said the same thing before the exeter game!

Wovers 1-3 Soton

WE ALL LOVE LEEDS....WE ALL LOVE LEEDS.....WE ALL LOVE LEEDS.....WE ALL LOVE LEEDS  :beers: :clap: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :girlgiggle: :girlgiggle:

Walsall pull one back!

Long way to go yet...

Think you'll struggle at Charlton  ;)

6-0 on agg.

Fuck off spunkbag!  :flaccid: :
cant wait for you to fuck it up again!!!

:beers:

oh god i cant believe he got some bites.

Revell scored twice for Wycombe

Losing 3-0 twice to little
ol' Swindon Town would have hurt.

:D :D :D :D :D :beers: :clap: :clap: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Udders 2 Walsall 2

Walsall Equalise!!

Will be irrelevant come May.......we are coming into form ..........watchout for Southampton..... :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

walsall have leveled with udders

Walsall down to 10 men and 2-0 down, back to 2-2.

Who are they playing Saturday, d'oh...

Leeds will get second.

It's OK that's currently 2-0 on aggregate to us.

6-0 on aggregate

Another side we also did the double over...

I think it's a bit too late for that!? To constitute the 80% bollocks of this site, and the 80% cunts in my signature, I'm going to explain (as i'm sure you are indeed aware) that if we win all our games, alongside Leeds, it's in fact Leeds that will go up. Crafty gravy lovers

id take the results tonight! lids don't worry me

Against three of the shitest sides in the league. How did Leeds do in their previous 3 games, against better opposition? 0pts.

jeeeez, stop biting for fuck sake.

Why are you all biting?

In the nicest possible way, do fuck off

all bow down for the Mighty Whites.................... :clap: :beers:

everyone laughing at them bottling, constant viewing of their website, us dicking them, everyone writing them off.

They were always going to do it.

I fucking hope they dont mind you....

Come on 'Uddersfield you cunners!

Can i have the lottery numbers for tomorrow?

Rovers getting dicked 5-1

I,m sure we will be missed in this league, no more sell out crowds for everyone, you can mothball that stand now behind the goal............. :smugfu:

4 8 15 16 23 42

We're going to Pompey your going to Rocdale!!!! :beers: :-[ :-[

You'll get your fair share, cheers

Did that chant hurt your feelings TVR?

You've got Gillingham away to play Saturday, and still have to go to the Valley. I'd have thought your lot would have learned your lessons about assuming the seasons over before it actually is.

get in Walsall................................

i saw the thames valley whites bus on the way back from elland road....they didn't seem very happy when we passed them :D

Walsall winning.

Walsall now 3-2 up and now all of a sudden im worried for saturday

On your way traitor.

Gillingham lose Gowling for Saturday oh yes there is a god...............we are leeds

Ha me too. They've been on good form recently. Sounds like Huddersfield have been awful though.

eh???   ???

Losing at home to 10 man Walsall - just puts our results into perspective. Still think we'll win on Sat!

Fucking Southampton are going to get in the play-offs, I'd fancy them to win it too as they would have the momentum.

NOPE!!

just as well you're not playing on Saturday then. I think Walsall have done us a favour tonight.

Yeovil 1 - 1 Millwall

CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT

YEP

Thames Valley Plastic.

 If we look at the scores over the two matches between Lids and Swindon this we season, we notice a distinct correlation. Shove your bowing up your arse.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVVgDdw72FU&feature=player_embedded

HOW???

1-1 at Yeovil FT. Gay.

Bollocks. 90+3 as well.

I'm actually embarrassed by the amount of bites he is getting.

we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:we all love leeds  :smugfu:

Ahh well tonight could've been worse. The gap to 2nd could have been 4 points.

great results all round I think. Leeds have tough games to go, but Millwall and hudds drawing is decent. Charlton have a tough run in, game on...

'Uddersfield now winning!
That keeps Saints at distance

ha ha, spoke too soon re: udders. that's fine, leaves colchester with a lot to do.

only thing that worries me is brentford are looking a bit tasty.

Udders 4-3

ooops.

Wow! Can we now start looking forward to playing Walsall on Saturday!  ;)

Should be a scummer....

Millwall's late equaliser doesn't really change anything in my opinion, I can't see us needing anything but 4 wins to grab 2nd.

tonights been a bit mental - and at the end of it I feel even more disappointed we battered exeter and still didnt fucking win

This time last night I thought we'd be 4 pts off 2nd, but instead we're 3 pts off so all things considered I'm happy with that

Who? :)

Exactly. We are still within striking distance. We must win our next 3 and see what we need to do at Millwall.

Gillingham Away - we are on fire
Franchise Home - 35k nothing to play for
Charlton Away -  resting players for play offs
Bristol Rovers Home - 41k - nothing to play for

Yeah looking tough

Well I think we all knew we had to win all our remaining games. That fact still remains. It's still very doable. Don't think there's been any loss of belief from fans to players. I'd say that was fairly evident last night...

COYR.

same as that pdizzle.

Darlo win away at Rochdale and still get relegated to the Oxford Premier League.

Even then it's a long shot. Leeds look to have hit form at just the right time. If they can beat Gillingham then it will go down to the Charlton game for them.

Fuck me, that's was some game at Huddersfield. Walsall down to 10 men after 20 minutes, then 2-0 down, then 3-2 up with 7 minutes to go, then Huddersfield score 2 in injury time to win.

fuck worrying about leeds. If they go second they've done what they should have done at a canter - well done.

All we can do is stay in there and see what happens. No-one even expected play-offs at the start of the season, so lets worry about our form and how we prepare for the play-offs. We should be enjoying this! This is what it's all about.

Good post. Even if we don't make 2nd, the season goes on and we still have a great chance of going up.

I have a sneaky feeling Charlton may be the surprise runners up.

Well Dave at least Walsall will be totally deflated now.

You've put a relatively negative spin on everything this
evening (apologies if I've missed something).

I see it like this. 9 points clear of 7th, 3 points away from 2nd = happy days.

No point dwelling, we're in a good situation... Plus Huddersfield's win doesn't help Southampton's push.

Spot on juddie. Said to my brother today, if you'd have told me in August I'd be worrying about being 3/4 pts off 2nd with 4 games to go, I'd have had you sectioned

They've lost 3 times at home all season. All to lower placed sides that they've underestimated. They're desperate for points and they'll stick 10 men behind the ball and kick the shit out of you.

Have fun

OMFG!!!! You are the most depressive person ever! Slit wrists sorta stuff. WE'RE DOOMED! ALL DOOMED!!!!!!

 :suicide: :emo:

Change the record, Dave.....It's boring

exactly.

forget Leeds. They're supposed to go up, we were supposed to stay up! there will be so many ups and downs in the last four games. everyone's nervous. If Leeds beat Charlton and Gills under this pressure then fair play to them for turning it around.

I'd rather have a day out at a ground we boast a 100 per cent record at anyway:D

And even if we lose in play-offs, what a season. Just enjoy it, forget worrying about everyone else.

How anyone can make any negative connotations out of this week's events is beyond me. We played well last night, we're in the mix with four games to go. Who expected this? No-one... edge of the seats stuff for all the right reasons. Magic.

Got to feel for Darlington, win away at the league leaders and get relegated

....likes this

Well said!

I think its natural to be disappointed at blowing second, if that is what happens. And a good thing too.  I don't mean dwell on it feeling sorry for ourselves. I mean use it to put some fire into the playoff games.

but second place is a bonus, nothing more. are we the best side in this division? probably not, but everyone has tough games to play. It's immense! I fancy us to beat walsall and wycombe, draw with brentford, then we'll see where we are. as it stands we're due to play charlton in play-offs, I'll take that.

Well said Juddie! I've loved this season! Fuck last nights result, fuck tonights results....We played well, shoulda won, but we didn't....That's football and i love it.

What.A.Season!!!!

Spot on, i remember last season and the relief when we were finally safe, i hoped at the start of the season that we would fare better, looking at the league table even after the last 2 matches its fairytale stuff compared to last season...

I noticed Notts County are promoted, unless Rotherham score 47 goals in their next 4 games!

Come on Le Fondre! :)

Fuck this negative shit! With Norwich's recent form I've not given up hope of the fucking title!

thing that cheered me up last night was Danny Wilson's post-match interview. The man is a legend in my eyes. If we go up this year I'll doff my cap, if not I look forward to challenging Saints at the top next season.

The future's bright.

tell you what, had we won last night the title would have been in the mix, as norwich are without holt for another game.

who'd a thought it!

So their punishment for breaking the salary cap by 300% is promotion !!

If Charlton draw with Norwich, Leeds lose at gillingham, Milwall draw at Huddersfield and we beat Walsall all four teams will be on 80 points going into the last three games. All of the results are more than possible and would leave a mental promotion race

:)

They'll go bust in the next 2 years.

I'm sure there will be more twists in this saga. Its far from over. All we can do is do our best. Win the games we can.

I'd look at it this way - if we do indeed miss out on second, given the relative expectations etc, we blow second, Leeds blow winning the league at a canter, both sides end up in the play-offs, who's had the better season? Like I said last night, I'd rather be us than Leeds

That's just fucking crazy.

I wish I could be this optimistic at games!

Charlton would need to beat Norwich.

Charlton would have to beat Norwich for that to happen but your point still stands.

I'm still loving this season. Fuck predictions, anything can happen.

Quite likely given Norwich's recent form

We will, when we knock them out. Obviously.

This season has exceeded my expectations ten fold. All I am saying is we shouldn't be getting the playoff cigars out yet - lets go all out for second. If we don't get it lets not sit around happy at getting to the playoffs. Lets use the "dissapointment" as motivation to fire us to Wembley glory.

I love this place. I love this game. I love this club. Massive 4 games for everyone, it's still on.

Certainly the most exciting division at the top. It reads like a game of football manager.

Much as I'd obviously like to go up automatically, I do quite like the idea of having the chance to beat Leeds four times in one season

It would be like a bye into the final :)

I want Huddersfield if we end up in the play-offs, or Colchester with a ref not afraid to use his cards. Charlton/Leeds/Millwall would all be trickier ties. Especially with Nicky fucking Forster at Charlton.

Although I think the preferred scenario is us automatic, Leeds via the play-offs. It'll be a tough season in the Championship next year and it'd be nice to start knowing we've got six points in the bag from the off :)

  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: And a positive 6 goal difference

I'd prefer Saints to joins us through the play-offs. Their fans deserve it more, and still six points in the bag.

RE: Southampton. Fuck 'em.

Something tells that Southampton fans will have plenty to celebrate next season!

Sorry I am disapointed we didn't beat Exeter at home despite dominating and playing most of the game in their half.

Were you happy with a draw yesterday?

Stop being a bellend and read what I actually type before you respond with your boring, dull incorrect sterotypes you hyped up ginger emo cunt!!!!

Unfortunately i do have to put up with your constant negativity! Constantly spouting negative shit. And i'm not the first person to tell you that it's fucking boring.

As for ginger? Since when? News to me matey boy! But i'll let you off on the Emo comment  ;)


Cunto  :gay:

What is an emo? Is it another slang word for gay?

There is a huge difference between being disapointed we didn't win and being negative.

You can't possibly tell me you were happy with a point last night and even if you did, I wouldn't believe you.

Dave is simply saying what most, if not all Swindon fans were thinking after last nights game.

He's spot on.

Well, we might as well throw all of those late goals we conceded earlier in the season into the conversation because we'd be champions or close enough!

Nobody is pleased with a point against Exeter but it's done, it's history, bring on Walsall!

Ah no, i completely agree with you, Dave. I was so annoyed at dropping two points, but it's history now. It's just everything you have been posting ever since has been so negative, when it really shouldn't be. Yeah it's disappointing that we're no longer in the autos, but fuck me, what a season we're having! 5th in the play offs, when most of us expected mid-table mediocrity? Awesome!

Fuck it, if we don't go up, we'll win it next year!

Correct and apologies

It's very tight at the top, I'd say there may well be a few twists and turns yet


Also Poole Town clinched back to back Wessex League titles tonight with a 7-2 victory at forth placed Bournemouth Poppies

Why do southampton fans deserve promotion more than anyone else?

I went with some yeovil supporting mates to the millwall game last night and millwall didn't look anything special at all. Very unfortunate for yeovil, as they deserved all 3 points.

Still think leeds will drop more points and we could have 4 teams chasing 2nd spot come May 8th.

Let's just concentrate on winning our last 4 games and if it is to be the play-off's then we can be the in form team in the play-off's that nobody wants to play

Although if it is all done and dusted by the Millwal lgame I think I'd like to see Wilson rest a few for that game so they are fresh for the PO games

The potentially interesting scenario is if 3rd is the best we can hope for after 45 games, but with Millwall not certain of 2nd place.  Leeds and/or Charlton might take a fairly dim view if we started resting players at that point.

I would definitely rest players - why pick up injuries, suspensions etc. In fact I would start resting them after Saturday if we do not win that fixture.

I was thinking the same last night, be interesting if it was already decided we were 4th and 5th before that game. As there could be 20000 people watching a reserve match.

Especially if it looked like we may play each other in the PO's (3rd v 5th perhaps ?)

3rd plays 6th...

If your 4th you get the home leg 2nd right???

yeah

As a lot of people have pointed out, it's still very close. We've dropped off but still have a shout if we win our remaining games, which is perfectly possible. Some very interesting fixtures remaining which could have a huge bearing on the final table:

Fri 16th April: Huddersfield vs Millwall

Saturday 17th April: Charlton vs Norwich

Saturday 24th April: Leeds vs Franchise

Saturday 1st May: Charlton vs Leeds

Saturday 8th May: Millwall vs Swindon, Leeds vs Bristol Rovers

Every team above us in the table features at least once in that list, so you never know!

right, we shouldn't give up hope of 2nd until chance really is gone.  More twists and turns to come.  Or more pants to come down.  But we want to be giving the spanking.

I was thinking a lot today about how massively well we've done this season.   Damn proud of the club, players, Wilson, Fitton and what's been achieved.   No way we are throwing in the towel.

I think we have to win all of our games to finish 2nd. Can't see that. Think we should finish in the top 4 though which is a fantastic achievement.

I still believe. Can't afford to go to games and not show that belief to the lads on the pitch. More of the same this Saturday, Swindon fans. LOUD AND PROUD.

Our only hope of finishing 2nd is if Charlton beat Leeds and we beat Millwall. Hopefully Norwich will at least draw with Charlton!

Fair play Benz.

vs Brentford, everyone needs to show them our gratitude and how proud of them we are for what they've done in the space of a year. Go fuckin' barmy and let 'em know. They're professional so will know what to do anyway, but I bet they like hearing what we keep saying on boards like this.

I thought the fans did that on tuesday. Normally we'd have boo'ed them off at half time

Yeah you're right, Dave, but more of the same - like I said!

Some people did boo at half time but it was a very small minority.

What happened on Tuesday? Did I miss something?

Everybody stayed in and watched the match on sky plus

I'm not so sure - I can see Leeds slipping up in any of their three games I listed. If Millwall beat Huddersfield it will make our lives difficult though.

Leeds are away at Gillingham on Saturday.

Gillingham have a very good home record, although according to their fans they have 0 available centre backs.

Sorry if thats too negative for you Phil!!!

 ;)

 :D

Tails is even more negative than DV or IOB now. Ever since he moved in with the Mrs. Coincidence? I think not.

I think what this does show is that is all still very unpredictable. two weeks ago you wouldn't have thought Leeds would win 3 on the bounce and after the Leeds game you felt we or Millwall wouldn't slip up again. We have come up against teams that have had to defend like Trojans to stop us scoring. It's looking like Leeds to win it unless they decide to throw it away again, would need them to drop points twice in 4 games for us to overtake. Our goal difference means we lose a point effectively but 3 out of 3 is what we probably need to get back in with contention.

In a strange way if we had to go to Millwall needing a win to be in with a shout for auto and Millwall only needing a point that it might suit our mindset to go for a win in a Liverpool vs Arsenal 1989 way. Can you imagine if the Gas got a result at Leeds to help us to auto, wouldn't that be nice of them!

Ha, I'll let her know you said that. You're probably right, to be fair. It's more superstition than anything else, I've been miserable all season and we've been awesome, so why change?
