The Round Ball Game - II

[eighthobstruction]

....you are tickling the bottom of 22nd and 21st Anton all is very much not lost....in fact one might say spicey on hot coals....

Maybe the Foxes should have swapped Brendan for Roy, Alison!
Delighted to see the Hangers come back from the depths as the 2nd half progressed. Buddies were already coasting by that time. Straightforward 3-0 win over Livi sends us to 5th. Three games to the split - hopefully Buddies can hold on to their top-six place, but still have to play Hearts and Rangers, so it's pretty tight in there.
Getting a wee bit worried about the Owls, cloughie. It's getting a bit squeaky up there!

Something of a Pyrrhic draw going top, jc!

Oh well, there is always next year.

When you get relegated, apparently the best players leave. Not going to take much finding for the scouts from other clubs…..

Rough and tough at the top of L1. I thought that it might be Plymouths turn for a wobble.

Nerves need to be held. Are there any 6 pointers yet to be played?

Ipswich have away matches against Peterborough and Barnsley, we’ve our last home match v Derby but Plymouth have what looks like an easy run in and a rich subs bench of strikers.
The Tractor Boys seem to score several goals each time they play whereas the Owls seem to have totally forgotten how to get 3 points at one go whoever the oppostion! Our only hopecseems to be the return of our injured playmakers can storm the playoffs. Well it’s that or welcoming Leyton Orient to S6 next season.
Meanwhile surely the top match on Monday has to be Wrexham v Notts County - two side on 97 points 22 points of their nearest rivals with GDs of 67 and 66. With that sort of record over the season is there an injustice that the playoff system means that one of these sides could be denied promotion possibly by the side ending 7th?

Just saw the highlights, anton. Fair cheers the soul.
