Might be worth a glance at how these finish toneet (Tuesday)

[POGGYWELL]

I hope the end result is not the same as that Covid Season and last season with mud on our faces as Swansea and Wednesday flashed past the finishing post.

I prefer to keep my powder dry with over a quarter of the season to go

No euphoria just a bit of optimism after all every little helps.

I see Wycombe won last night making them unbeaten in nine at home. Not an easy game this weekend.

I see Wycombe won last night making them unbeaten in nine at home. Not an easy game this weekend.

It's nivver an easy game at Wycombe. However, I've seen them play 3 times this season and they are a defensive and physical side. I think their tactics this Saturday may well be defensive and physical too despite them being the home side. I hope that I'm wrong and they come out to play because if they do, I think we'll win comfortably. If not, it's a case of being sh1thouses ourselves and we now have the height and strength to be just that. Either way Poggs, we need those 3 points.

One cautious thought came into my head tonight, after seeing these results.
When do we get to know the Punishment for breaking ownership rules. . .

A sobering thought (and I haven’t had a bevvy) amidst all the euphoria of possible Auto’s……

Jules I think SB updated me on this issue some time ago and I think he said April or May,

This timescale came form Parekh at the fans forum if I remember correctly.

[EthelRed]

No body had said what the possible punishments could be as far as I know. Might be fines, might be points, might be a suspended penalty or maybe a slap on the wrist.

It would be good to know.

[Jules88]

I am totally sure the EFL, or FA Whichever is the body investigating will be looking to speed up the process……. Some are already counting chickens and have forgot that we have a potential points deduction coming.
Nice to have the games in hand, and hopeful that we will them, but the Powers that be ( in my opinion) will be the ones deciding our fate….Not Wigan, or Charlton.

[SBRed48]

I think Parekh said at the Fans Meeting it would be late March/ early April.

My guess is we are looking at a financial fine rather than points deduction.

With all the euphoria over Bolton and Derby losing I think now would be the perfect time for the Grove Street Marketing Team to launch the 2024/25 Season Ticket sales. Things could go pear-shaped and the opportunity could be lost.

So do you select Cosgrove to start?

So do you select Cosgrove to start?

Personally I wouldn't Eths but I'd be seriously contemplating it. Cosgrove was started at Fleetwood for a similar fixture(physical test) although it could be argued McAtee needed a rest for that game. We've seldom compromised on our style of play this season which is credit to Collins. However, Saturday may well be another time to do it.

Cosgrove gives us more physical presence up front than Cole or McAtee does. We now have a very uncompromising force in defence with the stature and presence of both Earl and Pines. Those two aren't gonna lay down and have their bellies tickled.

It's also no coincidence that we scored a very rare goal from a corner against Derby. That would suggest that our extra physical presence in an opponents penalty area may well have played a part in that.
