the_mighty_bosh Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 That should do it now imo. The best thing is that we've hit a good bit of form and meet an out-of-form Colchester next. Great win today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 still only 4pts clear. Ludicrously tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mikey Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 But now 4 clubs that are 4 points behind us. I'm feeling pretty safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Great result today, but it is still pretty finely poised at the bottom and this two week break we now have could not have come at a worse time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyOAFC Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I'm feeling that we are pretty much safe now. However, there is still a chance. Great 3 points today and sounds like the support was great too. OWTB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 If Colchester win at Stevenage next week I'd be slightly more concerned but it's a great match to have as our next one. Today's results means that everyone up to Bradford (13 teams!) is still looking over their shoulder. Our break might not be great for our next match, but we get a rest period (physical and mental) before the final big push. Not many teams get that luxury.

Wardie Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Fantastic result and a great performance from both the team and the fans. Classic piece of journalism from the official site... "As the game approached the final minutes of the game, it was the visitors who were singing loudest. Harkins got himself to the byline and fired a ball across the box but it was dealt with by the Bradford fans." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 4 points will do it preferably gained from Notts Co, Colchester and Carlisle....if we were to lose all three then relegation would be a real possibility!! It's far from over yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBL Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Was sat with Bradford fans (live locally and got free ticket) trying not to smile too much. Great view from up there and we were excellent, well-organised, good shape and quick to break. Really good away performance - Bradford lot were impressed with team and noise from fans. And that's why we persisted with JCH, unplayable at times. Now for a drink - cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Let's aim to win all 5 and try and finish as high as we can Bradford are on 49 points and are in 12th 2 points ahead of us so we could still get a top half finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilStarbucksSilkySkills Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) Anyone spotted this near the end of the match report on the fishal? Harkins got himself to the byline and fired a ball across the box but it was dealt with by the Bradford fans. Is that within the rules? Or did he the ball end up in the stands?

chris_ktf Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Massive win. Still not safe, I think we need two more wins to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Huge win when you factor in other results. Had we lost today, we'd have been right in the :censored:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics_Fanatic Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 A top half finish isn't unfeasible... Would be ridiculous and a great achievement and turn around if we did nick 12th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brierleys555 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 strange how with 5 games to go anyone from Bradford down could still get relegated. I hope loads of results go for us next week as yesterday wasnt to good. the bank holiday fixtures will be massive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope loads of results go for us next week as yesterday wasnt to good. the bank holiday fixtures will be massive With so many teams on 43 down there I think we'll still be four ahead after Saturday. A win and a draw would probably guarantee it. I can't see all the teams down there getting 8 points from their last 5 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I thought we were bang in trouble after the Preston/Rotherham games, wasn't seeing any desire or much semblance of a gameplan so fair play to all involved for turning it around. 2-3 points still needed to be sure I'd say, hopefully we can get it done over Easter and be able to enjoy the remaining games.
