Could be a real sliding doors moment. If we don’t get in we have only ourselves to blame though. Our results this last two months have been generally very good (performances maybe a bit less so at times) but lots and lots of silly points dropped this season. We really should already be safe in the playoffs.
That last minute penalty at Oxford looking more and more costly at the moment.
What’s the obsession with that penalty? should have beaten Crewe - and held on for seconds... stockley scores that penalty against p’boro and its a potential point at minimum
too many times this season, we’ve neglected to either see out games or just not taken our chances
Because it was the proverbial 6-pointer.
One thing in Schwartz's defence it was a decent penalty.....at least he didn't try a Panenka like Aguero did last night.
When we had games in hand over Oxford a lot of people on here said they won't be a problem, and o said all Karl will care about it is the fact they already have the points on the board and the pressure would be on us to then catch back up. Nd that's what's happened, they've got the points already and relied on us to slip up, which we did, and all they need to do now is better Portsmouth. That goal that Crewe scored when we couldn't hold the ball in the corner with 30 seconds to go, was the biggest single point I can point to that has led us to this moment
Not the missed penalty against Oxford then?
That stands out as well, but the Crewe game was more recent and the extra 2 points there, so late in the season, with momentum, it would have made the last couple of games a lot easier
Or the penalty miss against Peterborough
That might not have ment 3 points, or even 1. The Oxford one was the last kick of the game and ment they couldn't get in the play offs today.
But we could look back on a number of moments in the season
As could Portsmouth, as could Oxford, as could anyone
Does my nut in when people try to blame one incident on where its gone wrong
I am not, I am saying that the Crewe goal wasn't the be all and all.
The missed pen against Oxford is the most gutting thing. Crewe late conceder also gutting. So many 90+ dropped points. Ffs.
Said every football team ever
At the end of the day people will say you make your own luck and the players havent been good enough at times. However it does seem a lot has gone wrong this season ...embargo, wage cap, late takeover, wonder goals, missed pens, dodgy refs, last minute goals, high number of points needed to get in the playoffs ect ect

Plus we need to win.
The planning started for next season before this game even KO.
Seems they keep getting away with the fact that those saw four points dropped...
Its back in our hands at the moment
