What do we think? I recon a win puts us out of Sunderland’s reach. A draw would keep it in our own hands after their draw today.
Even if we beat Sunderland don't count your eggs still 30 points to play for? They need to win more than we do after results today imo. We're only 3 behind Luton now.
I honestly don't think a loss would be disastrous as their games will be more bunched together. Glad the pressure of having to win has been lifted, but I certainly think we can .
Can see Us and Blackpool being a big game, we could be needing to win and they could still sneak into the playoffs, still a long way to go
I think Sunderland have to win. Which means a team coming to the WELL that has to attack. Which means a team coming to the WELL in a very long time that comes with the intention of NOT parking the bus. Barnsley is likely to rip any 1st Division team apart that tries to do that. It will be different.
Draws good enough, we're running out of games. But on the other hand we could be top Tuesday night...
I said at the start of the season that us and Sunderland would get the automatic places. Stand by that.
Second half today Accrington weren't parking the bus. They had a few good chances. Be careful what you wish for.
If we win on Tuesday, as well as putting further " daylight" between us and Sunderland, without being complacent, we can also probably relieve some of the pressure when we travel to the Keepmoat to play Doncaster Rovers on Friday evening.
Still too many games to play after Tuesday choose what the score is... As long as we don't lose I'd take it..
Agree T. If Accrington had had a little bit more composure in front of goal, they might have nicked a goal. We have also got to be a bit more ruthless with our finishing as well. Green appeared to have the opportunity to take another touch as he homed in on goal and really could have scored, instead of hitting the post. Two nil doesn't tell the whole story. We could quite easily of scored at least a couple more.
I still think it will be us as champions and Sunderland as runners up. Luton Town to be the Shrewsbury of this season by being top most of the season, only to get knocked out of the play offs.
We can afford to draw. Sunderland really need to win so hopefully it will be an open game with two sides attacking. I'm looking forwards to it.
I do see what you mean but we have got to win that game. Sunderland are a poor side, who play depressing anti football and we really should put them to the sword. Don’t usually agree with Nudge, but they have to come and win that game and we are set up to punish teams that have a go. It’s so long since Sunderland took the initiative in a game i’m Not sure they remember how. Keep Morgan and McGeady quiet and they have nothing.
