Match Thread Away vs Stevenage Mon 5th April @ 3pm

So much truth in those very last 8 words. Nice to hear the positive effect on your good self

 

Yes, I'm quite taken by ifollow myself now and with my work commitments, I'll be only able to watch a limited amount of away games but for those I can see, they'll be on my TV!

 

Yes I'll explain.

First of all, I never said they were 'out'. I said that if our 'tactic' was to ensure they don't get more than a point in order to take them out of the play-off picture then it's a poor do, and a crap approach.

As to their (excellent) current form, the odds of them maintaining it for the rest of the run-in are slim - such runs don't go on for ever (remember our great run when T&S took over?).

And I stand by my point that there are much greater threats than Stevenage to what is looking like possibly only one vacant play-off place being chased by quite a handful of clubs.

Yeah that was my main point in reply to the original poster - aiming to restrict them to 1 point would be a numpty approach (unless perhaps there had only been the two of us in the race).

Another factor in Stevenage's potential inability to make the playoffs is that they've played 2 more games.....

 

Mate, Gibson went to Sligo Rovers a while back.

 

You do realise a defeat is also a result? I certainly wouldn't be taking that option ;-)

 

As this is the thread for Stevenage away ( I think) it is interesting that on the Official website for the club, there is mention of the five players still out injured - Novak, Staunton, Pritchard, Cooke and Ismael

But no mention of Hosannah ( even on Easter Sunday)

 

Hosannha ( in the highest ) has returned to Elland road for treatment , City did say they were keeping tabs on him with a view to next season .

 

My bad, checked the bbc sport Stevenage page and it has last January transfer page in amongst what they have done this season.

Back on topic. A win tomorrow really makes it game on. Draw not a disaster. Interested to see if we can gather further momentum again. Team that started against FGR did really well - I don't expect many changes.

 

Agree but I can see Rowe starting.

 

Yes, mate and we have game on Saturday.

Also, Rowe doesn't look happy when he scores. Picture what he's like when he isn't starting.

 

Why is everyone so concerned about him not smiling? He hasn’t smiled from day 1 and hasn’t thrown his toys out of the pram. Let him get on with it. Maybe it’s just the way he is.

 

As long as hes scoring I couldn't care less if he does handstands in the changing room.
