said the same thing to my kids walking to the match on Tuesday night. You can never tell with football but I'd lay a big wager we would have lost that game and that 6 point swing has made all the difference.
So, you could say with all the deflected goals, not given penalties and iffy refs, that the rainstorm combined with our dodgy drainage was our "luck" for the season.
not buying it....2 of the goals were down to the ball getting stuck in puddles in the lead up to the goals. They had a red card as well and we would have been attacking the end where the puddles were second half. It was a farce and should never have gone as long as it did. Don't feel sorry for them but would prefer they stay up over Millwall and Brum......
Given it was correctly abandoned, they should be more worried about their performance in the rescheduled game and the 33 other games they haven't won this season. Those are the reasons they'll probably go down.

Anyone saying we would have won it, we could just as easily have lost it by more. Anyone that thinks that we would have won it is either deluded, a joker, an amazing optimist (at Charlton?!?!) or a very biased fan.
If Donny go down I will feel very sorry for them as that is a huge 6 point swing that went against them.
This is why games that can't be played, should not be played in the first place, because stuff like this happens and someone will inevitably feel hard done by, in this case we are lucky it wasn't us.

Anyone who says we wouldn't have won it against 10 men on a quagmire of a pitch is either deluded, a joker, an amazing pessimist or a very biased fan.
Either that or he doesn't possess a crystal ball anymore than someone who thinks we'd have won.
As I recall from the commentary at the time, at least a couple of the goals could be attributed to the conditions. This and the fact that they have had ample time to accumulate more points since then, means that I, although I feel sorry for them and hope that they stay up, I don't think they can blame it on this one game.
No, he didn't. He should have called the game off well before half-time, and to come back on when the pitch was in that state was not a good choice. Donny may have issues with it, but that is their problem.

God kept us up and hopefully he'll send the spanners down.

If we win and Birmingham lose then all it did was get us over the line quicker.
Personally think it's brilliant.
Leeds can't be huge fans of us after the recent smash n grab in their back yard.................

Like others have said, on this basis, I want to see Doncaster stay up.
