Can't wait for this one, just gotta feeling it'll be a special day, (maybe the day we squeeze back into the playoffs??) Either way it's been great season, a proper rollercoaster ride with lots of ups (especially the Donny games) and a few downs (Vale games ) but one that will live long in the memory, personally I've had some great awaydays this season, made some more good friends and met some decent away supporters too, never seen a hint of any trouble, just how football should be, really hoping things work out and we nick that last spot on the last day ( remember the last time we did that) and if not I'm sure we'll all have a great day in accrington with many of us in fancy dress, ( yep even an old phart like me) and look forward to next season ... when we'll either win League 2, or go for a play off push in League 1..

I’m going there knowing we have a steady chance of making the play offs. We would have easily made the play offs if it wasn’t for that terrible run of injuries.

Onwards and upwards for the town. Happy

We are as good as any team in the league on our day, the injuries have killed our momentum but if we make the play offs our returning players are at a good standard of freshness. If we make Wembley it should be bedlam.

The last 12 games (over ¼ of a season) has yielded 2.08ppg. Over the season that's just shy of 96 points.

If we're "going for it" next season sprinkling better quality all over the pitch, it's gonna be a fun journey, (if we don't go up of course)

It's sad in that this season was likely an open door for promotion but for the mass injury situation which has left us with just a last day long shot. Next season who knows...other teams will strengthen too, but I'd expect us to be up there.

Not to discount the injuries, but we've also been guilty of failing to make mome ts count

Looking at the table we're only 8 points off 3rd, I think we could all point to 4 draws where we should have come away with victory

2 penalty decisions spring to mind immediately. Mandys miss at Bradford that could gave put us 2 up before they went on a remarkable run to put them on the bring of promotion

Conceding early against Colchester at home, failing to break down Harrogate

Whatever happens it's been a pleasing return but we must be challenging next season with no excuses in my opinion if we arent to make it this season

[Tha Knows...]

Yeah every club will have games they where they feel they should have got more and folk point to the home draws but the performances in the home defeats to Accrington and Crewe were particularly galling.

Not so good when 7 of the games were at home. The "truer" average is 1.92 ppg.
Though a win on Saturday would get us to a "truer" average of 2.15 ppg.

Anywhere decent beforehand?
