Title: Tight at the top
Post by: Copps is Magic on April 09, 2019, 09:46:53 pm
Well well well. I thought the Dingles had it wrapped up a month or so back with only Sunderland late challengers if they put in good form. Now only 4 points separate 2nd from 5th, and any of them can go up automatically. Which also means we can get any of them in the play-offs (if we make it).

I would love to play the Dingles in the play-offs just for the occasion.

I just posted on another thread that I reckon Barnsley will finish fourth.

Let's just get 6th place sorted then start worrying about or planning anything after.
It's been a far better season than most imagined so let's enjoy it while we can. Another big stride hopefully made on Saturday.

This place was swarming with Barnsley fans up until a few weeks ago. Have they gone on holiday?

They could have been visiting due to the proximity of their fixture with us.?

has any one seen that Burton goal that put them 1-0 in front at Sunderland

it was an own goal of the highest order - like a what happened next -- delection changes the ball direction by 90 degrees

yes we know we all need that bit of luck   Burton are the type of team that can hold on to a 1-0 lead . That Sunderland game was the first of 3 consecutive home games Rovers being the 3rd match

So what are the likely second leg dates please? Is it going to be either the Monday or Tuesday?

What about the rest of the season? Missing hearing about their incredible fan base tbh.

What about the position of the ball on the corner that brought about Sunderland’s equaliser?
The ball is clearly outside of the quadrant, you can see green between the ball and the paint, the linesman is stood next to it but does naff all.

This seems to be the latest fad with professional footballers doesn't it?

Perhaps they're gradually trying to sneak the ball nearer and nearer to the penalty spot to see whether the ref / lino will notice?
