    Still fancy us to grab 5th place. I think we will win on Saturday

    We're better off drawing (as mad as that sounds) and getting 6th
    Be interesting whats happening in the Oldham game if come the 80th min on Saturday were drawing.

    As if Oldham are losing then Charlton get Play-Offs and Rochdale survive...
    Could be the biggest party the town of Rochdale has ever seen!
    Didnt that happen between Huddersfield and Barnsley a few years ago where the players of both sides simply downed tools for the last 10 mins

    Would love to see SKY commentating on that one
    Think it happened in a World Cup a few iterations ago too, Germany v Austria maybe? It's the reason that all the final group games kick off at the same time now.
    That pissed off the Saudi's.....sorry Algerian's.

    Jokes on SKY then... Surely by now they realise that Charlton games start and end after everyone else ;)
  • Blow the whistle FFS
  • OK, OK seems like we are there. Now the vital question. Do we 'rest' certain players on Saturday with two tough games coming up? Must admit I wouldn't like to call this.
  • Tell you what - they score here and our overconfidence could come back to bite us...

    No... Our squad isnt deep enough to rest players, nor have we had the confident season so need to hit the Play-Offs running
  • FT 2-0

    No. That would be disrespectful to the other teams down at the bottom of the table plus Bowyer should stick with the players that got us into this position. If we are 2-0 up and cruising with 20 minutes to go by all means change things up but not until then.
  • Perfect result for us
  • That'll do...

    Bit of a shame that Plymouth got that late winner on Saturday, their players look done though

    No cos we are not there! Why would you rest players - if Gills roll over and our second strong get tonked then we are out.

    We go there for the win - and our first team can get that
    And to carry on the momentum we’ve built up.
  • We need to win to keep the habit going so no to resting players and we can still cock it up at Rochdale. Play the next 4 matches like each is the play-off final.
  • Great result for us. We are soooooooooo close now....

    2-0. That will do. 3 points over Plymouth. +6 & 54 goals for Charlton & Plymouth 50. That win on Saturday against Blackburn proving even more valuable.
  • Going by this game and their performance at the Valley am bloody relieved we're not playing Scunny in the Semi Finals

  • Rest those who need it.
  • We are in. Anyone who thinks a 6 goal difference will be overturned on Saturday is absolutely mental.

    I will remind you that Donald trump is president of the United States

    Don’t take anything for granted ;)

    I'm not even remotely worried about the Gills. They will probably lose on saturday but they don't get tonked too often tbf.
  • Interesting if Plymouth beat Gills 2-0 and we lose 4-0.....as well as being a fucking disaster. Would have the same record as Plymouth.

    That didn't entirely fix it though, I remember at Euro 2004 I had an accumulator on the group winners. My two pound bet was set to earn me something like 250 quid, but I needed Denmark to win the final group. Trouble is they and Sweden both just needed to draw with each other to go through, but it meant Sweden would win the group and screw my accy. The duly drew the game with Denmark spending at least 8 of the last 10 minutes just passing the ball back and forth across their back four with no Swedish player within 20 yards of them.

    Was somewhat made up for by me having Milan Baros at 50s for top goalscorer, but I am still sore about it.

    And we've only conceded four goals in nine games under Bowyer. IF we lose on Saturday, stats say it'll be a 1-0.

    Agree, but perhaps we start with say Aribo, Zyro and Dijksteel ? With a strong bench as a back up.

    We hadn't conceded a goal for about 3 years going into the 98 play-off final, but that one ended 4-4.

    Rochdale wont want to risk winning 4-0

    They'll take a lead and then protect it - If they try to go for more they'll simply leave space for our players to exploit which'll just be stupid in their position as they've better Goal Difference than their rivals... Genuinely see a repeat of the Wimbledon game

    But Rochdale don't have Niall Quinn and Kevin Phillips!
