donny 1 cardiff 1

we desperately need something from our game...

Scunthorpe 4-1 QPR. If that doesn't give them a massive confidence boost for the run-in nothing will.

and we play scunny next weekend lol!

donny 1 cardiff 2

Sheff Utd 1-2 Middlesbro'

Huuuge goal from Boro!

nice one 'boro...

donny 1 cardiff 3... donny continue to sink...

Full-time: Ipswich 2-1 Palace.

Same old story. Same old boring, tragic, tedious story.

our cushion is cut to 5 points... the game against scunny next weekend is going to be gigantic... that gap could be even less by then after the midweek match at leicester...

Our goal difference is far, far superior to Scunthorpes, so you could say it's the same as having a 6-point gap on them.

Midweek games: (that matter)

Tuesday, 12 April 2011
Derby v Leeds
Doncaster v Preston
Leicester v Crystal Palace
Scunthorpe v Reading
Sheff Utd v Cardiff

at least scunny & sheff u have tough games even though both are at home again...

donny v preston is a crunch game...

our away record is a disgrace. the two goals we gave away yesterday
were soft. the first he should have been closed down much quicker and
shouldn't be scoring from that angle. the second was a complete joke
defensively.

the game against Scunthorpe next Saturday could be the one that decides
whether we go on to stay up or go down.

Calvin Andrew and Alassane N'Diaye have extended their loan deals at Swindon until the end of the season.

i kinda agree... if we get nothing or only a point at leicester then get turned over by scunny we could be doomed...

Anyone think we may end our away hoodoo tonight at Leicester? Nope, didn't think so!

Another occassion where we're probably relying on the other results of those around us to help us out again.

i'm not holding out any hope...

tonights line-up...

Speroni, Clyne, McCarthy, Moxey, Gardner, Danns, Garvan, KG, Scannell, Zaha, Counago

Subs : Price, Davis, Augustien, Ambrose, Iversen, Vaughan, Cadogan

Leicester 1 Palace 1

still can't win away - i think that's 15 games now. but it is a good
away point as none of the others around us won either.

Scunthorpe & Sheff Utd both lost and Doncaster drew with Preston.

we're 6 points clear of the drop zone with 5 games to go but this Saturday
its Palace v Scunthorpe & Preston v Sheff Utd so that could change very
quickly.

Get the **** in!

Great point.

Decent point. Still annoyed how we can't hold on to leads on our travels or close out games.

The Scunthorpe game on Saturday now is monumental. We win that and we will be on the very brink of safety. Do the unthinkable and lose it and that could destroy our morale once and for all.

And we absolutely have to stay up now that the Seaweed have been promoted. Us, them and Millwall in the same division next season would be mental!

you watch, we will probably fudge it up against scunny on saturday and be deep in the relegation mire again...


amen to that...

A draw might not be a bad result just as long as the Preston/Sheff Utd game finishes all square too. That would leave us 6 ahead of the drop zone (7 if you bring Scunthorpes goal-difference in to the equation) with only 12 to play for.

All a lot of "ifs" though!

come on palace! win today and we can almost be able to look forward to playing the weed next season...

zaha has had his red card at leicester overturned... link

Palace 1 Scunthorpe 2

pathetic, the one game we couldn't afford to lose and they do. the first half
was total crap. and Preston won too. if we fail to win at Doncaster on
Friday that is us down, i'm sure of it because no way will we be beating the
likes of Hull and Leeds.

that was a complete nightmare... took us to go 2-0 down before we really turned up... not good enough...

they were more up for it than us and that is what is hard to take... we bottled it big time and now we are probably going to pay for it...

looking at the remaining fixtures i would rather have scunny's run-in than ours... we probably need 2 wins from our last 4 but i can't see that happening after todays shambles...

both scunny & preston have momentum now & belief they can stay up whereas we look clueless... bad, bad times...

"Bottled it" is an apt phrase as that is exactly what we did.

Incredibly disappointing, I think we all expected so much more but it was so poor at times.

I still think 48 points will be enough but getting those 5 points from the 4 games we have left is a different matter altogether. This could go to the last game again.

thats the key for me. my negative side has taken over and
i cannot see us winning again this season. 4 draws might be
enough but with our dismal away record and the gutless way
we surrender games i think we are staring relegation in the
face.

It looks bad but we still have 3 points on Scunthorpe plus a vastly superior goal difference and 4 points on Preston. I'd still rather be in our position with 4 games to go than be in the bottom three playing catch-up.

Yesterday was awful but we are still capable of winning any of our last 4 games. Beating Doncaster next Friday would be massive as it would drag them below us and well and truly in to the relegation mire.

Hopefully our boys will be up for rectifying the dismal result from yesterday by finally securing an away win.
