good nights work.

oh well, didn't come to anything.

posh have a FK just outside the box...

P'boro down to 10 men Mark Little (their RB) - second yellow.

Nice one...

.

They haven't won in 7 games though, and the teams below them have started to scrape points together. They will have an edgy end to the season. We really did dodge a bullet there.

I'm not going to get too worried over tonight's games - whatever the results, although I'm sure they will be a few culprits who declare our season is over if Posh win.

But no one else would ever have a chance of winning. It would just be dominated by Alpine every year which isn't fair.

I don't think anyone is saying 20 will 100% guarantee it, or is mathematically enough. But based on the teams form around us, our form, seasons gone - 20-21 points should be enough. 28 points would equal a bit of a freak season.

Good news, he was never going to be fit for any games over this weekend anyway - which is why it's now turned into a bit of a blessing that the Plymouth game is called off. At least it gives us a good week with him, resting up, giving him the best possible chance for Saturday.

I wouldn't! Games against Exeter, Chesterfield, Rochdale and Yeovil are boring and the away games are horrendous. I want to see us compete at places like Leicester, Cardiff, Swansea etc. onwards and upwards...

Your point about Richardson is miles off though. He was a significant signing in the close season, costing near enough half a million pounds. Wages will be decent, not low, because he'd have already been on decent money at Charlton. The money really hasn't dried up, as others have said - significant investment was put forward initially to ''Build'' a team. That team has been built, however money has still been made available for the odd 1 or 2 additions to strengthen it. We don't need another mega-bucks striker or a megabucks midfielder. We already have the team in place, additions like Dale are perfect.

Yep - there'd be a loan fee involved and also a pre-agreed transfer fee for the summer. (Oldham fans speculating between 400-500k)

Oldham fans were describing him in the same way, their key player. Took their pen's too and was their vice captain. Really optimistic about this signing.

88 is a little too high IMO. I still think 85/86 will do it - for whoever gets there first.

Adkins was pretty positive sounding about it on the interview, and we haven't rushed about trying to replace him today. So I don't think Chambo is too bad at all.

2nd please - so i can put my feet up and enjoy watching other fans stress over 1 game which decides an entire season! Nerve racking things....and it's at Old Trafford too, so no day out at wembley.

He made some good points tbf.

Not heard anything on Chambo yet, but Lallana will be back in 10 days (i.e for the MK Dons game)

It doesn't appear a cheap option to me at all. We've signed a teams best player, clubs from the premiership wanted him and we went back with a second offer which turned his head.

How can you say it's the cheap option when you have no details of a) - The wage offered, B) the Loan Fee and C) the fee at the end of the season.?

Out of interest what points totals did P'boro and us finish on?
