    I can totally see Notts county getting that third place spot.

    For that to happen, we have to lose. Next week is far from a given, considering the form we are in but I dont see us losing.

    I cannot see them beating Donny either who now turn their attention to clinching the title

    No my worry is that Crewe with two players sent off yesterday seem as hopeless as Walsall have been although I’ve been tipping Walsall to win in their last 4 easy games and they seem to have totally cracked up. Hopefully we don’t crack under the pressure and I think we will rise to the occasion and complete the job.

    We’re going to need a lot of squad upgrades to compete with that lot.

    It's been written in the stars for a long time.
    40 years since 85.
    On our remembrance weekend.
    Believe it's happening.
    It's meant to be.

    Smallwood back will be a huge confidence boost for the team and will help us massively to get the job done. Big summer ahead in player recruitment though if we are to compete in league 1.

    I believe we play better as the underdog.
    These players showed against Birmingham we can compete, especially at the back and in midfield.
    For me 2 real quality investments up front will be needed.

    When you say compete, do you mean top 6 or just consolidation??

    Looks even worse for Walsall when you see this
    Got to be the one of the worst turns in a season ever

    We were the team that stopped their momentum, brought them back to earth and gave ourselves and others the chance to overtake them.
    Our award for best team in lg2 at the end of season awards will be fully justified ha ha

    Back 3 has been fantastic up until Swindon statistically.
    The team as a collective has fallen apart since so I can't agree with you.
    Whatever people think of Baldwin and yesterday, he's been a consistent in the defence, more than any other contracted defender, who was brought in for promotion experience, something we are on the brink of.

    Doncaster’s back three is no different either, neither is PV’s . I’m not knocking them for this seasons performance rather would they be good enough for a higher division.

    There is only one answer NO.

    Critch a proven NO at Posh out of a deal
    Shepherd a proven NO at Barnsley
    Hunts …retiring and out of a deal NO
    Baldwin , likely yes but needs to sort out his head
    Kelly and average L2 Centre back and out of a deal NO
    Johnson…Out of a deal NO

    So who have I missed ah yes Byrne……..Really? NO


    Back to my point , non are good enough , collectively or individually .

    Hard disagree.

    Critchlow yes
    Shepherd 100% yes
    Huntingdon yes for experience
    Baldwin no
    Kelly no
    Johnson yes
    Byrne no

    The Hollywood FC is a bit boring now. Have you actually seen what they’ve done to that club? It’s remarkable. Fair play to them I say, just shows what competent people they have at the club albeit with some funds behind them.
    Clubs with far richer owners have failed.
