Gutted I'm not at this.
Feeling a decent win here. 2-0 with Ngoy and Dobson bagging the goals. Dobson to do his best Ruban Neves impression and leather one in the top corner like a barsteward.

Agreed, 1-1 with Ngoy for us in front of 4,338, including 716 Wombles.

Still going to be a nervey end to the season, this one could go either way, they have always been a big powerful side, we need some strength in the side which I think will mean the dropping of some of the players that get pushed off the ball to easily, I will go with a tentative 0-0 but I still think we could lose it if we get bullied.

In the fishy prediction thingy I had us down for a draw.
Still think that will be the case which isn’t the end of the world given the draw in midweek.
The two draws would also mean that we’d taken four possible points away from those snapping at our heels.
Would love a win to put this to bed but fear we’ll be sweating for another week or two yet.
So 1-1. 4,321. Guthrie.

This will be harder game than Bury or Oldham so will be happy with draw. The defence even with Roberts in great form still look as if they could concede at anytime and with goals scarce at other end will be happy just to keep them below us.

This looks like being another close March. Keates has certainly improved the team performance and it all depends on how the defence handle a bigger team. Think it will be a nervy draw.

As we were made to look second best against an Oldham side that was minus many injured players, I agree that we must avoid being out muscled by the Wombles on Saturday.
Not an out and out 'must win' match, remembering that we still have Northampton at home to come, I too would settle for a 1-1 draw.
Here's hoping that Keates realises that Bakayoko is a lost cause and doesn't fall in to the 'Whitney' routine of starting him up front every match. Not that he was any less use than the two young loanees on Wednesday night! We have to conclude that we do not have any attacking threat whatsoever, so our goal will have to come from our half backs or defenders.
Still can't get over the shock that WE actually scored a goal!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets hope Devlin is as 'up for it' as he showed on Wednesday!
Stayupthe Saddlers!

He's obviously not afraid to make changes, Morris left out (too easily bullied off the ball on Wednesday) and Kinsella out.
Still in the Whitney camp re Bakayoko though, what does he actually produce for this team?
Good to see Ozzy back in, at least there will be a connection between our defence and...............................
Will we see another goal from any midfield/defenders in red again today? Let's hope so.

Sign him up permanently! Perhaps he should hold conferences for ailing attackers, to show them how to do it?
Great start, keep this up and we are 8 points off the relegation spots!
Well we were.....soddin Rochdale once again.

Well, almost every bugger else is now winning...
Oxford, MK, Rochdale... at least Bury have pegged Northampton back.

We shot out of the blocks but once we scored backed off for much of the half.
Ngoy’s goal just before half time was great and should ease the pressure.
We need a striker next season though because Baka is not the answer.

Sounds like a siege from the Wombles since the penalty.

Could see it midweek, we ARE a very weak side, as Scott so rightly says we WILL fudge this one up!
As it stands we are only 4 points off relegation.....Come on Posh, don't you want to get in the play off's!
