Nope - but you'd settle for 0-0 if the brizlle v DR also finishes the same.

I wonder if its as poor as it sounds

Nicholls on for Gray (Gray has committed two more fouls after being booked according to BBC text, so I guess that's why).

We've avoided defeat at the team below us - they hit the bar twice!

If we can continue to defend like they are now, we''ll stay up.

It's certainly back down to earth time , and shows that we are still right up against it .

BUT we are on another mini run, 3 unbeaten, 3 clean sheets on the trot . As I have said on another thread , I'm not as concerned about our final 5 games - Oldham have ruled themselves out of the promotion chase - it looks like Charlton may .be doing the same...so both those fixtures may not be as tough as they were. Sheff Wed are clearly a very average team. And Brighton may be demob happy by the time we play them . But I dont fancy going to Saints on the last day still needing anything ... :?

Very exciting

You really are a MOG aren't you :wink:

Get results from your away games and win the majority of your home games and we'll be fine. I'd rather have points in the bag than games in hand any day of the week.

It sounds as though we came for exactly what we got. A dogged display that was aimed at keeping another clean sheet. How many times can we say that this season. Probably not a classic but keeps us out of the relegation zone with some winnable games coming up.

Optimistic and fairly happy with the point today. It'd be interesting to hear how the 2 new guys played and also whether Byfield had an impact.

I've looked at all the 'run ins' and if everything goes to form..we've had it.


If everything went to form we wouldn't have beaten Southampton

Seem to remember someone describing that result as the greatest act of larceny since the great train robbery! We'll need quite a few of them type of results then!


We do and we will , about time we had a bit of luck .

All in all a good result, how many of us would have said no to 4 points from Southampton and Swindon?

Not many I'm guessing, let's not get too greedy.

Fatalists need to check themselves. Plenty of teams above us will be dragged into the mire before the end if the season. Oldham are in free fall on and off the pitch and administration remains a real possibility. Wednesday are the third worst team in the division on current form (so Plymouth's win wasn't entirely out of the blue) and Exeter are on a poor run too. Argyle may not even fulfil their fixtures. Lots of twists and turns to come in the next two months.

After reading all of the above posts (with one or two exceptions) what a joy it is to be a member of the fantastic forum that UTS really is. Thank god that i am a Walsall fan thru and thru and can see these posters for what they really are :(
UTS, Thats my football club but obviously not some of yours. We are not in control of matches that we are not involved in but all i see is Yeovil this, Brizzle and Daggers that. F*** em, we got a point away from home (we would have welcomed that a few short weeks ago) and still some on here are not satisfied.

Jokers :oops:

Oh come on some of you are getting as fickle as Wolves fans. We got, in my opinion, a good point away from home. We obviously would have liked a win and it would have helped more, but it's not disastrous! The Fickle Force are back..

Indeed they seem to be :roll:

Still, sod 'em :D I would of taken a point before the match, third clean sheet on the trot and still out of the relegation zone. All things we could of only dreamed about 2 months ago.

Great escape is still on :wink:

Great result. Why people are expecting us to go away from home and turn teams over I don't know. An away point is great and keeps us on track. 3 clean sheets on the trot!!! Dean Smith is doing a fabulous job. 3 points on Tuesday and the world looks Rosey. UTS
