This is ours for the taking. Orient will go up as champions and Northampton look to be the form team of the top 8. After that there isn't anyone to worry about and that includes Stevenage. I've watched Carlisle the last few games, they can't even get a shot on goal at the moment.
For me it ends like this.

1. Leyton Orient
2. Northampton
3. Bradford City

Playoff winners.

Stockport County

 

How was it a blow? It was by far the best possible outcome, I can’t imagine any other City fan will have a similar opinion.

 

A draw followed by a massive brawl at the final whistle.
Both teams deducted 20 points and Gary Neville craps himself.

 

Good result for us Stockport 1 - 1 Salford, now we need to do the business tomorrow no excuses.

 

Start the game fast with all the players on that can hurt Grimsby.
Establish a lead in the game and when it’s over as a contest, take players off.
Don’t wait until the 70th minute at 0-0 trying to force a win.

 

Absolutely. In terms of City, prior to yesterday Orient were out of sight. Orient beating a further automatic hopeful was a truly excellent result for the chickens. The automatic position is not in our control but we have given ourselves an real opportunity

 

Yes third place could be ours, but Orient are out of sight. So it was a very good result as far as we are concerned that Orient beat Carlisle, another promotion rival, yesterday. It improves our chances of getting third more than a draw would have done.

 

Draw is definitely the best result, as it leaves us only 3 points behind Stockport with two games in hand over both teams.

Then if we beat Grimsby tomorrow and Northampton pump Stevenage, it’s proper GAME ON!!!

 

I'll be watching tonight but the result is irrelevant unless we beat Grimsby on Saturday, I'd say a draw would be a good result as a win on Saturday would see us above Salford, we'd have the same points as Stockport but they have a better goal difference again we'll have a game in hand to rectify that.

 

Absolutely fantastic result for us. We must go all out attack tomorrow against an extremely tired side. No excuses

 

Only good for us if we manage to get a win tomorrow

 

If Orient fancy taking 3 points off each of Salford, Sutton, Mansfield and Stockport as well that's fine by me. As long as they understand the deal ends on the 29th of this month

 

If we get the win tomorrow I wouldn't mind Northampton/Stevenage game being a draw.

 

Orient play Carlisle tomorrow, AND Northampton face Stevenage.

A couple of draws in those games will be massive IF we can win.

If we draw against Grimsby, I'll be worrying about our chances of reaching the play offs, never mind hunting down the autos.

 

No messing about tomorrow,we’ve got to go for it.

 

Results this weekend have been great. Many twists and turns but a real opportunity exists

 

How, they have won only 1 in their last 5?

 

Cracking equaliser from Hendry, game on.

 

Brilliant night for us. C’mn on City
