    Also AFC Wimbledon have 1 defeat in last 5 league games(3 wins and 1 draw) and now they are 4 points from safety

    Shrewsbury 1 win from the Championship last season, now only out of the relegation places on GD
  • Looks like that final Play-Off spot could start to hot up again soon

    Doncaster / Peterborough / Blackpool / Coventry are seperated by just three points (although Donny have one game in hand on them)

    AFC Wimbledon with another win and now sit 22nd 3 points behind Chris Powells Southend in 20th
  • Crazy that Plymouth sit 12th with a Goal Difference of -12 (more the shocking GD than the irony of the matching numbers)

    Got a feeling that this year we'll see about eight teams in danger of going down on the Final Day

    How the hell someone like Walsall be in the relegation zone yet be only three points behind Plymouth with only a slightly worse Goal Difference

    Bloody love this Sport when its like this, its how Football should be not the bland shite you get served in the Premier League

    Wycombe and Southend are both at the bottom of the form table, whereas Wimbledon are near the top which is amazing when you consider how pathetic they were when they lost at The Valley

    Put your money on Cov, I work with  Cov season ticket holders and they say they are playing badly and winning and playing well and winning at the moment...I reckon they'll get 6th.

    Have to admit I dont want Coventry anywhere near the Play-Offs

    Having just gotten promoted from League Two via. that route, they've a squad and management who know how to get through them

    Could prove to be an important factor
  • I think Chris Powell only has a game or two to get a win or he’s going to be gone.

    And as both @Six-a-bag-of-nuts and I have posted elsewhere Coventry have done the double over us this season too.

    accrington, wimbledon can both go as both shitty little clubs, accrington players are tossers and wimbledon fans on a whole have a chip on their shoulder and play the small club line too much

    be glad to get rid of Wimbledon 
  • I’m certain Bradford will go down. Other three places are guess work; Rochdale, Accrington and Wimbledon for me.

    Not long ago AFC Wimbledon were certain to go down then 5 wins in their last 7 league games they now have a chance of survival, if AFC can do that then so can Bradford

    Southend's form doesn't seem great. Given how close it all is they could get sucked in unless SCP gees them up.

    2 amazing late wins for Wimbledon with goals from Joe Pigott.

    Wimbledon losing 2-1 to Gillingham at HE

    With Walsall losing earlier they have a chance to go above them if they can win

    As Coventry have not told the EFL where their home ground is next year, they could well be out of the league. Hearing due a few days before the play off final.

    Could be a key goal for Oxford in their battle for survival
  • Powell in big trouble now. Southend now have no wins and 4 points from their last 11 games.

    The only consolation for them is that their next 6 games are against 'lesser' sides before they face Sunderland on the last day.

    Managers often get the boot before a run of 'easy' games, even if this is very late in the season for a sacking

    I have to say I thought they were surprisingly poor against us.
    They played like a bottom 4 side, as opposed to mid table, so I'm not altogether surprised that they've slipped into danger.

    Bit of mixture. After they played us I saw their fixture list and they had to play all the top 8 sides (including the top 4).  Before they played us they were winning one week say about 3-4 or something but then losing next week. I was surprised to see them outside the bottom 3. Oxford on the other hand despite a shit season are nearly halfway up the table.

    Helluva win for Oxford. Rocketed them up the table
