Agreed.

Seasons ends on Friday if we win

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Season dosn't finish Friday, Three points would go a long way towards it but let's not kid ourselves that The Shrimps will just turn over and roll over they will be well up for it Lancashire Derby and bragging rights on offer. We have to be on it from the first minute not as we were yesterday as we got out of jail and there will still be twists yet as there have been over the last month.

It is important to stay in the Box seat with destinty in our own hands

A Win Friday means watching the results Saturday and knowing then where we are

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Well if Cashy and DAV007 ( Who seem to have struck up some sort of mutual admiration society lately ! ) are in concord about this then it must be right !...so the two of us must be in agreement with the premise...:cool:
What I really intended to report was a snippet from the York City Forum which read...

"For while it is only natural to anticipate the absolute worse following the cruel blow of conceding such a late goal to a limited but determined Accrington side who have actually made something of a career of dramatic reprieves over recent weeks, the immediate picture for York isn't all bad. Had that equaliser arrived much earlier in the second-half the final outcome would have probably still been exactly the same (or perhaps even worse) but obviously not quite as gut-wrenching. A number of York fans actually complained of feeling physically sick at the final whistle.".

Strikes me that they had well underestimated the character of our team who have pleased us all this term with their 'never-say-die' til the final whistle' attitude !..for which Leam Richardson must be applauded !.
And don't you just feel a little bit sorry for those nauseated
Yorkies ??.

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

We went to York yesterday , glad it was lovely weather because up to the last 5 mins of game the weather was the only good thing worth talking about. I expected us to come out with all guns blazing , what a disappointment, it seemed to me that only York wanted to stay in league two , Stanley didn't even play , was sloppy and shoddy. OK the pitch was shall we say uneven but was same for both sides.Five min added and we start to play and equalised , phew!! Our goalie was exceptional today , well done. Glad Leam made early changes , but please lads don't put us through displays like that again, embarrassing. Now that said roll on Fri when we face Morecambe .

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

I disagree, 51 points will keep us up.
When was the last time a team went down with 51 points?

BBC Sport - Football - Accrington Stanley - Fixtures

Bristol Rovers may still have dreams of the play offs if they win vs Bradford and Southend on Tuesday and Saturday, they will be right up for it.
Plus its their last home game of the season, they will still be wanting to finish well.

Its essential we dont go into the Oxford game level on points with the bottom 2, win on Friday, we are safe.

23rd place (relegated)
2011/12 - 44 points
2010/11 - 47 points
2009/10 - 44
2008/9 - 37
2007/8 - 42
2006/7 - 36
2005/6 - 49
2004/5 - 38
2003/04 - 45
2002/03 - 48
2001/02 - 45 (24th place - 36 points went down, 1 team relegated).

One thing we can all agree on, 48 points may not be enough and should not be relied upon.

That'll be them Tykie pies they sell. :)

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Good positive/constructive reply that Smudgie,name calling and "I've watched Acci longer than you"rubbish. You still never said what team you would have started with?,
Correct me if I am wrong,but was you one of the "Leam simply isn't up to it"Brigade ?
I apologise if I am wrong,but you don't seem to have given him any credit in the last month or so.
I doubt whether John and Jimmy could have matched our recent results

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

they wouldnt have had us in this position in the first place.

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Open to debate that Davo,and we will never know. Once Leam got the lads in who he wanted,the team started to play,Coley would have done the same,would have depended who he could tap up

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

No-one knows that wi similar circs, The only thing that is fact is no-ones snapped em up since Rochdale binned em.

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Exactly.
so why did you use the recent up turn in results to suggest ('i doubt') coleman couldnt have done the same?
You seem eager to have a dig and defend Leam at all costs.

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Have Rochdale paid them off yet?
I was under the impression they are on a sort of gardening leave?

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Not getting involved with the Leam v Coley debate, it,s all speculation. As for who's going down. I'm still of the opinion Aldershot will finish last with York, Torquay and Wimbledon fighting to escape and then Stanley, Barnet and Plymouth neading to pick up at least 3 points each or else.

Re: The febrile york city thread !.
 

Having a dig at John and Jimmy?,you must be kidding me!,total respect off me,and there biggest fan,what I said was they would struggle to match our last six results,even fertile would have struggled!!!

Meant Fergie lol
