Anybody know their team though? Think and hope Eynesbury beat them now. Puts it back into our hands.

A result that a few might have predicted after dumping on Sileby, Spencer away looks like a tougher end to the season than we may have hoped for. However, Oadby are letting in goals and have 7 games in 16 days, I think they may leak a few more goals and probably drop points somewhere along the line. It is up to us to do our bit and let's see what happens to the others,

Might be somewhat wishful thinking, but i'm hoping BPW can help us out who face all three teams at home as they are on the up with virtually a whole new team and they've started winning now!

The last 5 minutes or so of tonight's match took me back to 1st May 2001 and watching out for updates from the Yeovil v Hereford match, almost as exciting :D

That one did end up 2-3 in our favour mind ;)

I'd like a pint of what your on!!!! BPW will not help us out, even with a new team, the best we could hope for is that they don't concede more than 1 in each of those games :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just seen this result, my first thoughts were **** YES, then I realised shit, we have to go there on the final day.

I think its going to be a real challenge to win every one of our remaining games now and go up and I'm not sure we will if I'm honest. But on the plus side, if we do and manage promotion, it will feel just that bit sweeter than if we had just cruised to promotion easily.

Just looked at the updated table, again goal difference matters i still think we need Eyensbury to win on saturday, If we had a similar or better goal difference to Oadby then a draw would of been perfect but with the goal difference as it is, I believe we have got to hope Eyensbury win and then obviously we simply have to beat Eyensbury at our place how exciting :!:

If Oadby win on Saturday, unless Sileby totally blow up (which I don't think they will) I'm afraid even winning all our games won't be enough - I just can't see anyone other than Eynesbury taking points off anyone.

You make it sound like they're Hartlepool and 12 points ahead of us. They're level on points and they've got Potton and Spencer in the next two weeks. We've seen what these two teams can do in recent weeks and I think they'll draw one. They've also got Rushden and Higham away and they've been getting a few results recently, so I don't think that will just be a Wootton-like walkover.

They aren't Brazil '70, they're not very good. They need to draw once in six games, just once. If they get past their next two games then I'll concede but until then I'm still hopeful.

I'm far from giving up, believe me, its not over until its over - I honestly think we will win all our remaining games, but I do have little faith in others to bid any real challenge to the teams around us. But we'll see eh? Eitherway, its been a terrific first season and one I'm immensly proud of.
