The night before the Accrington v Argyle match thread

C'mon Bristol Rovers!

C'mon Hartlepool!

A win for both of them would do us some good.

Would rather an Oxford - Hartlepool draw. H'pool are one of the sides eyeing play offs from out the pack.

A Rovers win, and an Oxford - Hartlepool draw would be the best results for Argyle I reckon.

matters not one jot. accies are on a great bit of form, scoring for fun, argyle have had a blip and i fear more to come. southend will be in the playoff place tomorrow at 5, as well as tonight.

Bad news that Oxford won but not catastrophic. Still only 5 points off them with a game in hand AND yet to play them. Easily reversable.

Southend on the other hand really are in full kamikaze mode now. 12 games since they last won a game. Over two months. Hartlepool have also won one, drawn one and lost three on their last five. Their good form has also fell to pieces.

By far and away the biggest threat to our 7th place spot is York.

Southend drew tonight and are behind us having played a game more. Argyle are also in much better form than Accrington. Here to help   

Oh well, one out of two. I'd have preferred a Rovers win but that puts us further away from Southend IF we win the game in hand.

Trouble is games in hand are no good unless they at least equal the chasing teams' results. Big one tomorrow at Accrington. A good win tomorrow would do something for our useless GD.

I post in a neutral League 2 thread on a non-football related forum and believe me, all the fans on that are equally doom and gloom. None of them ever expect to win. Our form and our last ten results are superb. We didn't have a blip - we lost against Scunthorpe. We're really in the driving seat. Winning five in a row is a big ask for York. Accrington away isn't something I'm worried about. They've never beaten us. The games are usually drawn.

Once again this morning I find myself agreeing with hairy Bloke. Access have had two thumping wins, the sort of wins that get the other managers looking to see how to stop them doing it to them, I believe that it happened to us recently after our four and five nils. Monkey hangers could still be a threat and so could York but hen any of them including us could hit a patch like Southends.

It's still in our hands, We can wish for no more. Nick a point or hopefully 3 today and thrash our stunted neighbours on Tuesday and it's happy days

I've decided on Waitrose own cider. A nice drop.

Swimming, football practice, homework, lunch, park all done. Children on DVD duty from 3pm and missus in the bath, although sadly head still above the water line. Game on. ROAR   

I shall have a nice cup of tea.

Thanks for the team sheet knecht, we'll win easy with formation. Kids watching Frozen, other kid out somewhere - where do 14 year olds go. Missus out. Hairy in the kitchen. Real ale, real football. Game on.

Hail storm coming down - the size of mice bollocks - it's an omen!

Boco....Boco. Nooooooooooo. We should have a minute silence for that. feckin hell.

Anyone know any Arsenal fans?   

I know a few but they all seem to have their phones switched off....?

Funny that!   

I realise why my missus has gone out - she's a scouser. Accrington are, after all, the best team up there.

Yeahhhhhhhhhh Reidy!
