Well done, lads. Now for Swindon.

I think we deserve to spoil their party.....a bit of revenge for that draw they played out with Hartlepool a few years back....

I think a top half finish with 10 points deducted would be a good achievement with everything else that has gone on. Looking forward to next season now. If all goes well with the takeover and renewed optimism all round the club we could be the pacesetters and the team to fear.

[CambridgeDon]

We need to win both our games to ensure we finish 12th, which is the highest we can go. If we can win our last two, we can possibly deny Swindon the championship and prevent Oxford making the play-offs, though this would probably let Crewe in. So, it could be an eventful end to the season.

[Tenement Funster]

According to BBC, Rovers with ten men have 58% of possession. Have we given up?!!

 

Surely not, we never let them have the ball for more than 5 seconds. We dominated but never really opened them up.

 

Solid performance from Vale and Rovers just placed two banks of 4 behind the ball after the red card which made it difficult for us to play around them. Solid performances all round although once again Rigg was more cold than hot, Dodds did little and Shuker was quiet.

[Mellor!]

BBC also says we had 6 shots. Were they at the wrong game?

5 of them straight at the keeper.

Must have been. They also say that Richards scored!

[The Wonder of You]

Must have been. They also say that Richards scored!

 

trust me, he didn't! Parkes was the goal scorer.

[CAVALIER]

Easiest one nil win ever. They were ****

[Paddock_Boy]

Why would we want to prevent oxford getting into the playoffs?

[George]

I though Griff was outstanding in the centre. He really has improved so much. A complete man mountain. His passing is also a lot better than people give him credit for.

how strange are fans reading of the game? Everybody around me today thought that Shuker was all over the park and worked his socks off! :rolleyes:

[Bluedevil]

We must hold the record for number of sideways or backwards passes in the league!

 

On a serious note Adams must bring in players with the confidence, will and ability to take on the opponents defence instead of continually opting for the easy option with a sideways or backwards pass.

[Heatwave]

We need to convert possession into goals. The only thing that's been missing this season IMHO...............

 

............apart from several million quid.
