The Round Ball Game - II

[antongould]

A final decisive blow to our automatic promotion hopes. On a day when two of the top three dropped points, we could just have hauled ourselves back into the race, but we turned in a desperate performance. Playoffs for us, and morale is on the floor.

Great win for Leicester, and good to see the Buddies hanging on to top 6 status.And a vital win for the Owls. Big old scrap at the bottom.

Hangers 2 Aldershot 0
Fulham 0 Toon 1

Good stuff indeed

[cloughie]

Despite defeat the Buddies crawled into the top six following defeats for rivals Hibs and Dunders. Fifth and no relegation. Some fine results for forum teams. Owls really doing good stuff...keep it up. Leicester and southerly Saints too, and the 'pool. Bit of a reverse for Ipswich, but that's what happens when you come up against a Scottish International goalie, I suppose.

QPR 0 Owls 2

Achieved the double over QPR - only other side we’ve achieved this with this season is Rotherham.

Norwich at S6 next on Tuesday

Well done Buddies - best season in a while, jc.

Tractor Boys still in Auto spot despite losing to the Canaries thanks to a Leeds lapse.

ts Soton’s blip must be worrying with only 3 places available to go up!

Owls 2 Canaries 2

Shame we went 2 down early on but quad sub at HT and a fighting comeback gave us a point.

Could be a vital point come the end of the season. Lots of teams still in the mix. By my reckoning only 4 teams are currently almost certainly safe but not in with a chance of the playoffs.
Saints gave their standard “ game of two halves “ performance last night. Outstanding first half when they did everything right , and a mediocre second half, including some baffling substitutions by Martin.
Coventry fans are enjoying life these days, good for them after a miserable decade or so.

Let's hope the TBs can put a stop to that for at least one match!

What a great day for Stockport County, back in League one next season.After their trials and tribulations down in National League North , it will be a very special day for them.
I hope our old friend Edgeley Rob was able to enjoy it.

Indeed, ts, well done to County and also Wrexham - I think edge will be celebrating with a suitable piece of RVW!

After todays Championship results I think there may be a forum team playing them in League One unless miracles really happen nowadays!

[eighthobstruction]

....Yes well done Stockport....

[Alison]

Crazy crazy championship. I can’t believe the Foxes are still in with a chance following hapless defeats to Millwall and Plymouth.

Ps How I would love our Edgy to return to the forum!

Crazy season, not getting any less crazy, Alison.Top 4 all doing their bit to keep it interesting.
so far this season I have missed the 5-3 Huddersfield, 4-2 Sunderland and todays 3-2 / 99th minute winner epic !
next up for us is a must win game, ( well all five are must win) home to PNE on Tuesday.Just a glimmer of a chance for top 2, but not more than a glimmer.

Ps How I would love our Edgy to return to the forum!

Yes indeed

How we miss him on these pages. Wonderful stuff. Good old Stockport.
Buddies well beaten at Celtic Park this afternoon, but it made no difference really - we are fairly secure in fifth. No real chance of making a lot of progress to the European places, but we can't gat relegated, so a successful season all in all with five games still to come.

By the way, I love this thing that Newcastle have come up with, Sound shirts that vibrate to help deaf fans experience the noise in the stadium. Seems like a wonderful idea.
