AND ANOTHER!!!

job done, now a Millwall win or a draw would do

If Scunny win, it's still possible they can go up automatically but it would take a gd turn around of monumental proportions? Getting nervous.

Not even thinking about it until after the Fleetwood/Millwall game

Trouble is Bury could be in the bottom 4 by tomorrow and that will add extra incentive and pressure for both sides. I think i'll be watching through my fingers for the 90 minutes

Well not really Manda.

At the moment we have a GD of 27 and Scunthorpe 21, so if we lose our remaining three games just 1-0 and they win theirs 1-0, then our GD will be tied on 24 apiece.  Quite achievable actually.

It won't happen though and we will be promoted well before the seasons end imo.

Good mathematical points Sluffy... but we will win at least one, if not two, and go up.  Then the job of mathematics, business acumen, and finding the right players comes in.  Even if Parky is a one-trick pony, he did the job of bringing in the players we needed... both at the beginning of the season and at mid-season... at almost no cost to the club... and hopefully will have us promoted.

BTW - Scunthorpe has the easiest run in... but those bottom teams can play hard when faced with relegation as we found out on Tuesday.  One win for us should effectively knock them out (assuming we can hold the GD as Scunny can try and run up their goals in their wins - that would be the irony if we lost on GD).

Millwall doing their best to help us early doors. 69% possession, and 4 shots (3OT) in the first 10 minutes - but haven't scored. At least they're giving it a go.

Scunthorpe winning, currently gone third in table

They have the easiest run in... and are closest to us in GD.  We really need to win by 2 or 3 tomorrow night to feel much more secure.

Scunthorpe 2 up

Scunthorpe 2 up
(Sorry for double post)

Fleetwood up 1-0

It will be a long week!  Let's win tomorrow night by a convincing score.

Tomorrow is going to be tense...

Rumour has it that Madine's season's over so unless Parkinson can hastily come up with an effective Plan B, we may well struggle to get over the line.

Hope I'm wrong.

I hope you are wrong too, Breaders. Whisper it, but given what looks like results today, were we to lose tomorrow it is beyond squeaky bum time

Can we get Kevin Davies in for three games?

Now we just have to win... no if's, and's, or buts!  If Madine is out, then Parky needs a Plan B... because his Plan A netted 0 goals in 3 games, and 2 shots on target in the last two.

No excuses either!

Those home defeats against Swindon and Charlton,and three home draws against Bristol Rovers,Wimbledon and Chesterfield are going to be costly.
Got a bad feeling about tomorrow.

Me too boncey, me too

It's going to be a nervous night for sure.

And as we've seen this season, when the pressure's on, our lot tend to bottle it.

I really hope I'm wrong but I can see Parkinson doing his usual and setting up to be cautious and it all going belly up when Bury nick one.
