Bradford 11/2 currently if anyone fancies an insurance bet.

4 minutes added on.
Seems a bit harsh considering there's been no goals and 4 subs in this half.

Oh right hope Rochdale winSoccerHQ wrote:chunkster wrote:If the results stay the same tonight will anyone be relegated?
No, Rochdale and Oldham will play to avoid the last spot on Saturday.

Thank fudge for that. Now lets never speak of this season again.
Delighted for Ozzy, showed why he always had to start for us. Hope he does well wherever he goes.
Hopefully very few of these players will be wearing the shirt next year.

Well done Dean and the team...we have survived!!!!!!!!! UTS. We have some fine young players and now we need a few really experienced players at this level....so over to Manager to rebuild sensibly with fewer loans hopefully.

Played the same 11 players for nearly 2 whole games to get the results we needed.
I don't think there is a greater damning indication of the scale of the mess the previous manager left us in.
Pure relief :D

That was a MONUMENTAL point, Bradford went all out to win that game they certainly wasn't out to do us any favours. so well done deano and the lads, thanks for all your efforts this season, let's have a massive clear out and push on :D

A good, very hard working, professional overall team performance (not said that too many times this season). Exactly what was required for tonight. Fair play to all the team tonight they really put a shift in. The goal Saturday has definitely given Dobo a bit of confidence. On the couple of occassions where it opened up in front of him, he drove into the space and created problems for them which served us well as it reminded them we did pose a threat and made them think twice about playing higher up the field.
Credit to Baka tonight as well, feeding of scraps given what was needed from tonight but worked just as hard as everyone else at closing down and defending from the front, covered some miles tonight.
It's hard work that has saved us in the end. Whatever you think of the team this season I don't think you can accuse them of lack of effort or not caring over the course of the season. Very much strike me as a group of honest guys who tried their best but lost faith in what they were being asked to do around about the same time we did and the resulting lack of confidence effecting them and dragging us down the league in the second half of the season.

Mossive relief! Were safe!!! yes,yes,yes! Shame I couldn't make it, would have loved to join in the we are stayin up chant!
Bloomin Motorways, absolutely loath them.
Major overhaul in the close season. In Keates we trust? needs to bring in seasoned pro's, not second string kids.
As long as we see some decent footy, mid table will seem like heaven! :D
Time to celebrate at Fleetwood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cracking resilience shown by the lads and we’ll done to the Saddlers that made the trip - you could be heard loud n proud that’s for sure :D
Sounded like Baka had a decent game tonight so that’s pleasing too but my main hope is the board don’t try to take ANY credit for this too close to call survival act.. it’s their ineptitude that’s almost cost us our L1 status and they’d be better off shutting up for the next few weeks and simply let Deano begin the job of creating his wish list for them to consider (sorry, ignore) as per usual. :roll:
Seriously though, Personally, I just want to forget this season and the entire JW era and I really hope Dean now gets the backing and can then begin a new chapter for us (and for himself) and give us a platform for better things in the future
UTS

Was worried when we came under considerable pressure for a spell and we were starting to defend too deeply. I thought it was only a matter of time before we conceded but we road the storm and battled through to a well deserved point. Those 4 added minutes seemed interminable, but a massive relief when the ref finally blew his whistle. Thought everyone put in a tremendous effort tonight and Kory Roberts showed he does have the potential to be a right back.
