The Scunthorpe Factor

[TrueBlue]

Is anybody like me thinking that Scunthorpe are going to break through at the last minute? say we draw with Yovil and Scunthorpe win the last 2 games they will pinch the title!

 

[Shrimper James]

Probably yeah. But if we finish 3rd it don't matter.

 

[TrueBlue]

true, but if we are going to go up be nice to be top of the pile!

 

[Hawkwell Blue]

Lincoln can still win the title and Macclesfield can still go up automatically. I can't cope with this, give me mid table mediocrity anytime.

Agreed.

I guess the team to watch out for the moment are clearly swansea. If they draw on saturday we should be ok. Then again, they're home against shrewsbury...

Macc can win the league on GD if we draw with Yeovil too.

They can dream!!

Maybe not necessarily. If they draw on saturday, a point from our last two might see us sneak it, possibly on GD. Obviously we have a 3 point cushion at the moment, which shouldn't be underestimated.

Also I haven't seen anywhere mention that Swansea had Andy Robinson sent off on Saturday. That's a massive blow to them as I think the suspension kicks in immediately and will miss both of their last two games?

 

[Hawkwell Blue]

However, I am sure they can beat Shrewbury without him, and probably Bury.

He did seem extremely annoyed when he got sent off and didn't want to go. I am sure the Welsh F.A. will get this one over turned as well.

Exactly my thoughts HB, the Welsh FA will do anything to help the Swans get promoted.

Although, on paper they look to have 2 fairly easy games against teams with nothing left to play for but a lot of people would have predicted they would have got at least a point from Bristol Rovers.

On Saturday we were supposed to have a relatively easy game against a team with nothing to play for as well. This has been one of the most unpredictable title races in years, any one of the top 5 can realistically win it, so I would not be surprised if Scunny or Swansea do slip up against their 'lesser' opponents!

 

[Beefy]

Shrewsbury and Bury are both finishing the season strongly. Especially Bury.

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

If Scuny were to pinch it, due to a draw between us n Yeovil, nobody could say they do not deserve it, they slipped out of the top 3 for one weekend only all season, not bad goin really. However 3rd is good for them

I can't see Swansea slipping up on Saturday. Isn't it their last ever game at the Vetch? With a capacity crowd behind them, it's surely in the script that they end an era with a convincing win, particularly against a Shrewsbury team who are pretty woeful away from home.

On the other hand, I can see Scunthorpe dropping points against Bristol Rovers. Rovers are playing well at the moment and, as much as I don't like Ian Atkins, look like they're slowly building a potential promotion-winning side.
