Shame Wimbledon scored, but they are still below us.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Incredible. Luton have battered them with balls off the line, hitting the woodwork, and the goalie making brilliant saves. They've been different class. Commentator said a fair score would have been 5-1.

Shame Wimbledon scored, but they are still below us.

They have easier fixtures. I'd expect them to stay up

 

[RetroBlue]

wimbledon were shocking

 

[WickfordShrimper]

WIN WIN WIN on Saturday please SOUTHEND UNITED FC

 

[amsemp]

Look at those stats. Luton should’ve put that game to bed multiple times. Referee was determined to give them nothing but even still!

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Even with tonight’s results our job remains the same. Just win at Rochdale. 50 points plus our goal difference should be enough

 

[Wickford Blue]

Wimbledon equalised last minute - if they and Scunny lose and we win Saturday all is good with the world?

Not necessarily if Plymouth and Wimbledon both win. Both could bring us back down.

I don't really go for this easier fixture thing, there are no easy games at this point of the season, especially with the added pressure. A lot of twists and turns to come yet.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

The lesson from tonight is surely, don't count on anyone else doing you favours. It's in our hands to stay up, we have to do it ourselves.

Here’s my prediction having put in every result left, including a win against Rochdale. If we don’t...

We need Rochdale to do us a favour on Saturday

 

[sillyshrimper]

According to my (probably dodgy) calculations, the only ways we go into the game against Sunderland knowing that we can lose (assuming our GD is good enough and we don't f*** it up) are:

This Saturday:
Southend win, Wimbledon draw/lose
OR
Southend win, Plymouth lose, Scunthorpe draw/lose

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

If Dons can draw at Luton, we can do a number on Sunderland.
It would help if the Black Cats knew their fate before our game against them.
However, we also need Argyle, Wycombe and Posh to step up to the plate, and do us a huge favour, assuming we can get something at Rochdale.

 

[Lincoln Shrimp]

I can also see 4 teams being on 50 points come the end. My brain is fried.
It really does feel like Saturday is a must win game now.

Please talk me through the first scenario..... I'm not convinced!

The good ....the lack of green boxes in the teams below us

The bad....the run Rochdale are on !

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

We can't rely on any team other than ourselves. To have it back in our own hands again is something none of us thought would happen last week.

We can't look at fixtures and think it's a full gone conclusion. Lots are writing us off for the Sunderland game, well Wimbledon just got a draw away at one of the hardest places to go in the league. Anything can happen. There are teams like Bradford who have players playing for their futures with less pressure on their shoulders now their fate is decided. Look at Fulham getting two wins on the bounce!

As I said, worry about our game first. We MUST win.

Just to be in with a shout (more than a shout now) is something that looked unlikely. We have a huge chance now, let's take it.

Come on you blues!
