Title: 5th
Post by: Copps is Magic on April 27, 2024, 05:02:28 pm
What an achievement from the position in February.

After the sending off and 2nd goal for them today, we showed something .... character.

Me too.
Also happy that we are away first leg as I wouldn’t have been able to get to a game on the Monday.
Will have to find a sky sports pub now for that one.

I was willing Crewe to get a late equaliser and they did it.
A nice close away leg for the play offs and I’m confident we can do this.

2nd leg at home is massive. Give Crewe 1000 tickets, fill the rest of the ground like the JPT semi final.

Only just remembered I’ve just won £500 from my top-seven bet last October!

Happy days

Also only holds 1,680 in away end

Never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd finish 5th. It's away with the fairies stuff.

I dreamed that we would win on the last day to get 7th, but our heroes were bigger, better and stronger than what any of us could have imagined.

We've had everything thrown at us including playing long periods of two games with 10 men! Fantastic character, resolve and will to win (or not lose).

A quite remarkable achievement

Just need to win the play offs now and this will then be one of the all time biggest achievement I would think
To go from 22nd to getting promoted in 12 weeks has to be a record + time to play the 3 play off games.

Yes we haven’t done it yet but I have a very good feeling we will.

I actually feel slightly deflated after the draw. I accept that it’s absolutely insane given what’s led to this point, but it shows just how good we are these days. Roll on the semis!

Yes I do also
I wanted that 11 to break the all time record

But that last 15 mins I was praying we would hang on for a draw.

Well yeah, just wondering if it will be based on season ticket holders 1st dibs, other memberships 2nd dibs or on a loyalty points basis

I watched the Colchester v Crewe game on SKY and Crewe were very poor and never really in the game.   They were lucky to get an equaliser late on and although that was a worry for us for a few minutes, I think that it will be a blessing to play them in the semi final as they are probably in the poorest form of the other three teams left in the play offs.   

It’s a repeat of the JPT semi final of 2007 and what a ‘priceless’ moment that was in the second leg at the Keepmoat.

Seems like yesterday. Well, maybe’s the day before!
