Looking ahead to what really matters - survival in league 1 - there must be a fortune to be made at the bookies on Saturday when bottom club beats top!

depends if we can keep our concentration for 90 minu

My money is going on a goal for Leon clarke, nailed on certainty.

I know I'm a happy clapper but can't see anything other than us getting tanked this weekend. Saving my optimism for bury on Tuesday, absolutely must win that

Check the Odds out you might cover your money then.

Charlton are tipped in the SUN to win 3:0.... (Not sure about in the Snow or Rain)

[bozablu]

any points fom this game would be a bonus, I would take 4 points from the next 2 games now!

[Sheik Yerbooty]

I think any bookie that didn't have them down as favourites would either be brave, or stupid. But favourites don't always win.

Think the weather has to be the favourite for Saturday based on the various reports I've seen this morning.

Could be a decent level of snow dropping on us from tea time-ish tonight through to the early hours. With the temperatures supposed to stay in minus figures the game has to be in serious doubt come this time tomorrow.

Suppose a covering of snow could help cover the pitch and keep it softer but only if the temperatures do us a favour. Then there's the access in and around the ground. Would rather thn game be off for a frozen pitch than the pitch be fine and the police and club call it off for "fans safety" around the ground.

Could do with it being on, got the father in law-to-be coming for a rare venture and already ordered and printed his ticket off online. Could do without having to mess about getting a refund as he wouldn't be able to make a re-arranged midweek game.

Weather certainly going to be a big factor.With the forecasts at the moment on top of what we've already experienced I'd say it'll be doubtful if the game will be on.But,if it survives the weather,I fancy us to spring a surprise.If we can maintain some discipline amongst our ranks I think we'll "do em".If we can't we'll beat ourselves.

[brianjacks]

If we go behind I think it could be a long day but if we get the first goal I'd fancy is to get something from the game and anything is a bonus against the league leaders. A draw may not get us shooting up the table come Saturday teatime but could be a good point in the grand scheme of things, not many sides around us will take points off them between now and the end of the season.

Would be a shame to see the recent better results and Wembley euphoria drowned in 2 league defeats in a week with an always tricky trip to Bury and tough game against the Bowels to follow.

1-1 wasn't it? Charlton with an injury time equaliser.

Thats right and bottom beating top is one of those never predicted results that happen from time to time. If we lose I will wish it had been called off, like I did last Saturday.

Didnt Bournemouth lose here in similar scenario? Maybe we are the record breakers - we break other clubs records

[TOWNOWL]

they are a very well organised side who do their job efficiently. the best in the division without a doubt,you'll do well to get owt but best of luck (fingers crossed)

[Oscar Tone]

We were top dogs in Division 2 last year and deservedly so. Didnt't stop Burton beating us about 15 times though. Here's hoping for something similar on Saturday. We'll need to keep Mendonca quiet though.
