Tonight's Match:
York vs Wimbledon
I can't quite decide on this one. Who does everyone want to win?
I think I want Wimbledon to win, as finishing 4th will mean playing Oxford rather than Stevenage/Luton, although if Wimbledon lose we are all but mathematically in the play-offs. A hard one, but a win-win situation.

Anything but a win will effectively end Wimbledons play off hopes, i would rather that we secure a play off place sooner rather than later.StuartRDFC wrote:Wimbledon to win.

A draw would be an excellent result for us IMO.

Re: Tonight's Match:
If we win on Saturday and Wimbledon don't we will be fine anyway. Better for Wimbledon to win rather than York because due to being a pain off the field when it comes to ticketing, I don't want us to get Luton.Diamond_ Wolf wrote:Anything but a win will effectively end Wimbledons play off hopes, i would rather that we secure a play off place sooner rather than later.StuartRDFC wrote:Wimbledon to win.

Re: Tonight's Match:
I know why everyone doesn't want Luton, but its just seems to me like the pressure might just get too them, especially if they only just miss out on automatic. I think Money had an interview on BBC, where he was a little concerned about the crowd getting on the teams back early on, and i just wonder if we play well, they might get on their backs again, and we could stand a chance. I honestly think whichever team finishes second will find it as tough as the rest to win the play offs, if not harder.
Bring em on i say!!!

Re: Tonight's Match:
Its probably unlikely but I definitely want a Wimbledon win, they'll still be 8 points behind us and are not going to catch us, they had their chance with 4 home games in 2 weeks and they only got 1 pt out of 12 and obviously we want that 4th spot so we can play Oxford, a team we all know are surely very beatable. I'd rather have the place secured later and finish 4th than have the place secured sooner but finish in 5th.

Re: Tonight's Match:
Totallly agree! Although Luton are destroying teams atm the pressure of the play offs will really show what they are made of. I personally would like York as i think we can do them and it would make for a better away trip! :mrgreen:jimbobjaw wrote:I know why everyone doesn't want Luton, but its just seems to me like the pressure might just get too them, especially if they only just miss out on automatic.

Re: Tonight's Match:
I hope Luton go up. They are on fire at the moment, and it wouldn't be nice playing them.
Stevenage/Oxford/York are all very beatable, we have shown that, even if results haven't been the best.

Re: Tonight's Match:
I can't believe people are saying they want Wimbledon to win. I'd rather have a play-off place confirmed. A draw would be a brilliant result although i dont think Kedwell is playing so it will probably be a certain loss.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

I quite agree - especially when you realise that the Dons last 3 fixtures are against Grays, Tamworth and Gateshead.BartonRaz wrote:I can't believe people are saying they want Wimbledon to win.
