I wonder how many on here that didn't want us to win the title at Wycombe now think differently?

Some really big knee jerk reactions on here tonight.
This is far from over and we will still win the title.

We're still in pole position, but two wins from four sounded an easier task than 2 from 3.

Missed Coppinger and Butler today. At times we seemed to lack any leadership at all.

To be fair, whenever Copps doesn't play we do miss him.
Butler is maligned by many but he is also very important to the team.
He will be back next week apparently, and possibly Mandeville too.

Also Mc. C   and a full back. At least there will be no argument next week that Blair has filled in as a full back after the game,

When our side loses a game we get a reaction next game. Plymouth have as tough a game as you would want with Colchester they won't roll them over like they did Newport. We will win the title by six points.

Agree, Colchester are chasing a play-off place so will give Plymouth a hard time.  But so could Wycombe with us, they are on the same points as Colchester, 62.

Any side at this level would miss those two that's for sure. I think Rowe try's organising and barks orders more than Copps does in midfield. It was noticeable a few times yesterday.

On Plymouth site, they are claiming they will win the title...They are congratulating their manager for hoodwinking Donny with his comment and gamesmanship they say that they had given up on the title, claiming they have fooled Donny and more so they are looking forward to wiping the smirk off Mr Ferguson jnr's face as they say.

I've learned watching the Rovers that it's better to keep a dignified silence.
That way if or when things go wrong you don't look a prat.
Some of the ones that moan the most are the same ones that shout the loudest and gloat when things are going well.
What will be will be. I don't think that DF bought it for a minute.

Last time we went up from this division we lost the next game after promotion to a rubbish seaside team (Torquay) have faith we will be champions

Plymouth are still 6/1 in a two horse race to win the title.

No 1/6 would mean they were expected to win it

Wat you could do is put a Tenner on PAFC to win the Title and get £70 back if they do. So much as you dislike them and would be gutted if they pip us - you have £60 winnings to offset that "pique"

How can they be expected to win it?? You don't need to know about gambling to know we are massive favourites.

Had a fiver on us at 11/1 to win the title last August . still think we will . but as a get out i have had a fiver on Plymouth at 6/1. Only down side if us and Plymouth cock up and Portsmouth happen to win it which is highly unlikely (50/1) We are 1/10 to win it ie. you have to put a tenner on to win a quid !

I think this Saturday's set of fixtures will have a big say where the title is heading. We only need to match Plymouth's results between now and the end of the season and the title is ours, plus we have a better GD.

If DF has staged managed this then he's confident in himself and perhaps more confident in the players than we are.

I think he knowingly took a risk which he was prepared to lose v Blackpool. Why? I'm not entirely sure what he was trying to prove. (Maybe justifying to all and sundry that certain players are not up to it)

It'll be interesting to see the starting line up on Saturday as it seems like he'll have them coming out all guns blazing to get the job finished.

Yes a conundrum for sure

If he was "stage managing" and we are armed with the right info - you would think he would have gone all out for a win v Blackpool hoping at the same time for a Plymouth "loss".

Title almost done and dusted and then retire Baudry and others and play the less experienced / or those returning from injury

However as they say in American Court dramas " Objection - Calls for speculation" - and so perhaps we will never know for sure

I think folks are over analysing.  DF picked a team to try and beat Blackpool, and on the first half performance we should have done so comfortably.

IMO DF has tried to manipulate a tiring squad with niggling injuries through 2 games in 4 days in the hope of picking up a couple of draws with the intention of most having a few days to recharge between Monday & Saturday.
Fresh legs of a few at Wycombe will see us through.
