lookersstandandy Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 "I just dont see Oldham getting any points. 1 away game against 2nd in the table and home to Liverpool and then Southampton, surely they cant be getting the 9 points from that? And even then we'd have to lose both our games. Let's go it and get drunk" Steve Coppell, May1993 IIRC, Coppell had a go at John Salako for appearing to over-celebrate with Palace fans after their last home game of that season, they'd just beaten Ipswich, because that meant we needed to win all 3 of our final games. They had Citeh & Arsenal away left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mikey Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Is this covered under a particular subsection of Pawel's Law? Just pointing out that scraping victories against teams that are losing every week isn't necessarily an indication of good form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Shrewsbury's fixtures do drag them into the more but I think it is a fairly straight fight between us, Blackpool and Fleetwood with one losing out. The never count your chickens mantra is correct - the Crystal Palace staying up party of 92/93 should be a warning to anyone who thinks otherwise (still the highest points per game total a team has been relegated on in the Premiership). Football can bring heartbreak - the danger that we face is complacency and the sense that we have "made it" in some quarters since last weekend. 2+ points from Tuesday / Saturday and I'd have been more confident. 0 points from those games and you are worriedly looking at the table wondering where the next points come from before you know it. It does bring a lot of pressure on the game tomorrow. A win for either side and they will feel they are safe, defeat and they will feel under pressure. Having been there last season - I know our fans will make it a passionate and encouraging atmosphere - so to those going fingers crossed you can cheer the boys on to 3 points! This rollacoaster will have a few twists and turns along he way yet I am sure. How do you work out that Shrewsbury aren't in it?! If they don't win their game in hand against Sheffield United they're on the same or fewer points than us, with a trickier run in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Don't Scare Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I hate these prediction posts, we'll get 5 points from etc. Expect the unexpected it's OAFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Waters Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 We are 8/1 to go down, might be a pessimist here but I think them odds are too big considering we are only 2 points above the drop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, but think that 2 games in hand on Blackpool might be enough. But another look at the table and I concede they actually could be the team that drops in on the last day.

losesome Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 IF Donny were to win at Chesterfield on Tuesday then the table is going to look very different. Had written them off but the win today will give them a massive boost and they have 4 very winnable games left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1onheartNew Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Won't matter that much if we beat Southend... Agreed. It will not matter for us; Chesterfield on the other hand, especially if Donny beat them, will be :censored:ting bricks. I have an increasing belief that we will get some real joy against Southend.

singe Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 With a couple of results going our way, and even only 3 points int he next two games,, we could be all but safe on Saturday. That would be very a huge relief of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 We'll turn Southend over. Nothing to play for and they're in :censored: form. Last week aside, we seem to have a remarkably good record in midweek aways. Last defeat before that must've been the Montano Wolves game.

Although the 12 points from 7 games this season would have you near the top if repeated, especially impressive given a few were under Kelly and Dunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
