forever a red and white Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 okay play-offs even more unlikely now but... as it stands Exeter 1-0 Colchester we can still hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 Other people said it - looking at the fixture list, Brighton was potentially the hardest game of the last 9. Picking up a point coulod prove to be a bonus, get behind the boys at Leyton Orient. (I thought we had had it to get to the play-offs after the Tranmere game, but I will continue to believe. An Exeter win would be a great result for us today. Fingers crossed Brizzle lose too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colchester really aren't the best barometer to use.If they fail then Huddersfield probably won't. Our chances of reaching the POs depends on what happens to 3 or 4 teams, not just Colchester. If they lose today Huddersfield could move above them by beating Wycombe tomorrow.Nothing changes for us, we're still 11 points off of the play-offs all the same.Even Brizzle and MK Dons are still in the mix if the Us nose dive,providing Huddersfield do the same.

Window Cleaner Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 But we are currently only 8 points behind Huddersfield who I think will finish above Colchester It's still 8 points that we've got to make up come what may.What I am saying is that the more teams above us (whatever the points difference may be) the less chance we have of making up the difference over all of them will be. If we were to win all of our games then Colchester would have to not win at least 4, Huddersfield at least 3 etc etc etc.With each game that we fail to make up points over all of them the difficulty increases.

Ian the Red Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 We can get 78 points only if we win all 8 games. Bristol will be our most difficult match not the lot we played last night. If we win the next 4 and the results for HUd, Col, Bristol go our way we might just have a chance...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 on another note, Aaron Martin has scored to put Sailsbury 1 up. Good for him to get out and have some games again, can imagine him being in and around the squad next season after we lose Perry and Thomas.

If we were to win all of our games then Colchester would have to not win at least 4, Huddersfield at least 3 etc etc etc.With each game that we fail to make up points over all of them the difficulty increases. Worth remembering that Huddersfield host Colchester on 1 May, so either one or both will not win at least one. Colchester have a very difficult run in: Millwall (H), Swindon (H), Charlton (A), Hartlepool (A), Tranmere (H), Huddersfied (A), Orient (H) - they will do well to win more than 2 of those. Huddersfield have Wycombe (A), Brentford (H), Walsall (H), Millwall (H), Stockport (A), Colchester (H) and Exeter (A) - at least 3 tricky ones not including Colchester. I know we won't do it, but it could get quite close if we can put in some good performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we won't do it, but it could get quite close if we can put in some good performances. But we won't achieve the "minimum" ie getting into the play-offs. I'm not worried about it but the play-offs were a minimum requirement just a couple of weeks back. What happens when that minimum isn't achieved I have absolutely no idea. It's not the fans who keep on and on and on about the play-offs, it's the staff and players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WATERSIDEIFASAINT Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 If Huddersfield and Charlton don't win tomorrow then it will start to look very interesting again. Great results today and I think too many people on here assume that teams like Charlton,Colchester and huddersfield will win at places like Exeter. I think Huddersfield or Charlton or maybe both will slip up away at Exeter like Leeds,Colchester and we have. There will be more twists and turns in this play off race yet.Colchester will not make the play offs imo when you look at their fixture list.It is whether we can catch Huddersfield or Charlton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markr27 Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 (edited) If there were awards for League One's worst refereeing performances of 2009/2010, Eddie Ilderton at Tranmere would be in with a shout. He missed such an obvious handball a blind man could see it for Tranmere's third goal! Nil marks for the lino also for the 1st penalty decision as well.
