League 2 relegation battle

Post by Pigman »

What MASSIVE game this one is for both sides:

Saturday, 1 May 2010
Coca-Cola Football League Two
Grimsby v Barnet, 15:00

Time for Grimsby to show some real bottle eh??? Win this and they go to within a point of Barnet (and the great escape) with one game to play.

Barnet will have Rochdale (who will be in promotion party mode) and Grimsby have Burton Albion - this one could go to the wire, or it could all be over on Saturday if Barnet win - relegation battles like this can almost be as exciting as a promotion push can't they? Trouble is, the disappointment of losing out is 10 times worse when you're relegated !!

It'll have been an amazing comeback if Grimsby can pull it off !!

I'd like to see Grimsby go down. Not a clue why!

I hope Barnet go down, Underhill is a boring place to visit, at least we'd get a trip to the coast with Grimsby...

One of his most shameful and selfish acts in the shirt if i recall correctly. In fact, I remember thinking at the time, after that, that he should never play for us again.

That was the same game which saw our goalkeeper give away a goal in the great "He's behind you!" pantomime stylee, then get injured....

Wasn't Andy Woodman in goal to start with, got injured, then Jamie Young came off the bench and did that?

Can't believe we lost that match either..

Urgh that game.

Woody had been outstanding in the few starts he'd had and then his injury pretty much ended his career. Then Jamie Young just completely forgot to check around him when he put the ball down and the striker just nicked it off him.

The Drewe thing was stupid, we'd got into the game with the equaliser from Dumpster and then we were screwed again.
