The Saturday Afternoon Commentary thread

[MobNet Wolf]

I'd take things as they stand, Stoke 0-0 Hull

[5150]

Barnsley beating Palace....on any other day would be great,but puts Leicester in even more danger !

[Bradders]

QPR beating Cardiff. Means QPR will be coming here next week as good as safe.

[Lynx Wolf]

Fingers crossed today that Stoke/Southampton/Cardiff drop points. Wouldn't want to go into the Leicester game needing a win.

Looking OK so far.

[Bradders]

Wednesday just 2 points behind us. On a great run of form...

[Powelly]

would settle for results as they stand...

sheff wed on the charge though.. more of a danger than saints or cardiff to us at the moment

[Powelly]

wednesday 1-1:)

[Powelly]

leeds down to 10 men at saints...

[Bradders]

As it stands just before HT:
Sunderland 44 83
Derby 44 81
Birmingham 43 80
Preston 44 72
West Brom 43 70
Wolverhampton 43 70-
Stoke 44 69
Southampton 44 67
Colchester 44 67
Sheff Wed 44 66

That looks good. Long may it last!

[Powelly]

we need sunderland to win as well or blues can go top with a 2-0 win as it stands.

[Powelly]

S***!

[Bradders]

Stoke 1-0 :-(

[Powelly]

and again...sundeland losing

[Big Mack]

Can't see Hull getting back now they've gone behind.

[wolf of sedgley]

In the 49th minute as well. $$$$ off.

[Powelly]

colchester on 69 as it stands, likely to be joined by saints on 69 now they are playing against 10 men leeds

[Powelly]

if it stays as it is at HT then we need 3 points tomorrow..

[5150]

We have had our fair share of results going our way recently....just a bit of a tinker it's not happened so far today.

We always knew we had to win a couple of the last three !

[MobNet Wolf]

Still think 7 points and we will be fine. Stoke won't win all 3.

[Gratters]

Still think 7 points and we will be fine. Stoke won't win all 3.

Bloody hell - How many more people are going to say that and be wrong ?. After every Stoke victory people are saying "can't see them winning etc etc"

I said a month ago Stoke were as good as up on their run - its Preston and Tesco we need to finish above

[MobNet Wolf]

They were $$$$$e when we played them at their place, I would never have believed at the time that they would be in a playoff place come the end of the season.

[MobNet Wolf]

Sunderland equalised.

[Bradders]

Sunderland 1-1 :-)

[5150]

Sunderland equalise !

[fullmoon]

Quite true,all we need now is to focus on a good 9pts on the mark.The Fans wants it and the players knows what the fans wants...Lets work together...C'mon you Wolves !

[N. Herts Wolf]

They were $$$$$e when we played them at their place, I would never have believed at the time that they would be in a playoff place come the end of the season.

They were **** when we played them at our place too. Sadly, they appear not to be **** at the moment.

[5150]

Regardless of results today....it is still in our own hands.
Start worrying when it is not

[WorcesterWolf]

Hull just had a goal wrongly disallowed. Grrrrr

[fullmoon]

Stoke are purely on a good but lucky run....What a time to clique? :(

[fullmoon]

Hull just had a goal wrongly disallowed. Grrrrr

Stupid ref :mad:

[Powelly]

sheff wed 2-1 up...

[The Weasel]

sheff wed 2-1 up

[The Weasel]

[Lynx Wolf]

[5150]

As it stands ,......a win puts us 4th and a draw puts us 6th until WBA play Monday

[fullmoon]

... and Leon was subbed to bring the scorer on ....

C'mon Sky blues:mad:

[Ulster Wolf]

Come on $$$$ing HULL!:mad:

[fullmoon]

Yeah,our fixture is a real torment.Hope our boys are really hungry just like the lions in Savannah ;).Go for the kill lads!!!!! :)

[Powelly]

2 wins will easily be enough IMO.. remember Preston have blues on last day..

[5150]

My eye keeps getting drawn to our "amazing" goal difference !!

[fullmoon]

if it stays as it is at HT then we need 3 points tomorrow..

Not just tommorow:) Till the lasts match too:D

[Powelly]

[Powelly]

[Big Mack]

(That was for Southampton)

[The Weasel]

noooooooooooooo southampton 1 up!

[5150]

Only 3 points between us and Colchester in 10th ..... and my eye is continuing to drift to the GD !!

[The Weasel]

Still, Leeds going down eh :D

[N. Herts Wolf]

Colchester winning too now.

Don't look down!

[The Weasel]

come on Hull ffs!!!

[Powelly]

Preston Losing:)

[Wardrobe_Wolf]

Refs having a shocker in this hull game. Dissallowed goal and penalty decisions not given.

Colchester winning 3-1, southampton winning too.

Leicester beating preston though, the only good news thus far today.

[Big Mack]

Leicester score. Small mercy this afternoon.

[fullmoon]

C;mon Leeds,C;mon Hull,C'mon Coventry,C'mon where ever you are!:(

[The Weasel]

Preston losing!!!!! great free kick from Shaun Newton,..............

[Powelly]

Positives from today...

Preston are screwed..
QPR safe
Leicester nearly safe

[fullmoon]

Geez,that was one team i forgot!:)

[Hatch End Wolf]

[Powelly]

[N. Herts Wolf]

[MobNet Wolf]

Couldnt make it up. Quality

[5150]

Positives from today...

Preston are screwed..
QPR safe
Leicester nearly safe

As the eternal optimist I agree.....however,all those can be negated by the fact that Birmingham can go top with a win tomorrow !!!

[The Weasel]

Fantastic! 47th min of 2nd half what a time for a hull equaliser!

[Wardrobe_Wolf]

That Hull equaliser has made my day.

Watch stoke get a winner now.

[fullmoon]

Every time i go back to the game casts,someone scores and YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i LOVE YOU hullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll :)

[N. Herts Wolf]

come on dirty leeds!

Never thought I'd say that!

[Hereford Wolf]

Its the usual mixed bunch of results !

It up to us really.......

[Powelly]

whatever happens tomorrow its still in our own hands:)

[MobNet Wolf]

Leicester FT, Quality

[The Weasel]

anyone got the current live table ???

[Toon Wolf]

Preston seem to be the team faltering most of the play-off teams. Think they'll miss out.

[Hatch End Wolf]

Loverly team Hull! The second Golden Wonders!

[MobNet Wolf]

whatever happens tomorrow its still in our own hands:)

If we lose its not.

[Big Mack]

Well at least Preston and Stoke dropped points which leaves it very much in our hands. A win would be very handy tomorrow, but even if we lose, then 2 wins in our last two will see us in the POs.

[fullmoon]

C'mon Wolves....It's in our hands now.UP THE WOLVES!

[5150]

anyone got the current live table ???

Sky sports result centre.....but it does not make wonderful reading !

[MobNet Wolf]

If we lose its not.

Ignore that, got mixed up.

[Wardrobe_Wolf]

Even if we lost to the bluenoses its still in our hands. This truly is great news for us. A win tomorrow now and we're almost there.

[Big Mack]

anyone got the current live table ???

http://www.sportinglife.com/football/live/tables/cc_champ.html

Looks better than it did 5 mins ago:D

[MobNet Wolf]

Sky sports result centre.....but it does not make wonderful reading !

It doesnt update very quick.

We are 6th.

[Toon Wolf]

Don't think that set of results is too bad at all to be honest. But as the cliche goes, we just have to concentrate on our own games and win those then it doesn't matter what everyone else does.

[MobNet Wolf]

A win tomorrow could really give us breathing space.

[The Weasel]

Cheers guys, looks pretty good to me! Still in our hands and Leeds still in the bottom 3!

[arthur williams]

Heavenly Father, please bless Nils-Eric Johansson and Nick Barnby. Amen

[5150]

It doesnt update very quick.

We are 6th.

Blimey it is slow....that makes it a bit better reading.

Still worried by the fact that they can go top if they beat us tomorrow !!

Todays results has putting a bigger edge on tomorrows game !!

[N. Herts Wolf]

I thought we'd be 7th today, so well happy with the hull result. Had a feeling leeds might win though. It's going down to the wire chaps!

[MobNet Wolf]

I think a win and 2 draws will see us safe now.

That would mean mathematically the others below us would have to win both their remaining matches. And even if they did that, it would probably be Albion/Preston they would take over.

[5150]

Taking a look at the table (again) ...it appears that MM was right in stating that the point gained at Palace was indeed precious !

[Hatch End Wolf]

A draw tomorrow wouldn't be a disaster and is the most likely result in my opinion. Of course we then have to beat QPR! but if we do we might only need a draw at Leicester.

[Gratters]

If we lose its not.

Incorrect - if we lose tomorrow it IS still all in our own hands - ie we win last 2 we are in playoffs - simple.

[MobNet Wolf]

Anyone fancy a quid on Sunderland not to be promoted?

[Bahama Wolf]

I think MM and SB should agree to play for a point a piece tomorrow...:D

[MobNet Wolf]

Incorrect - if we lose tomorrow it IS still all in our own hands - ie we win last 2 we are in playoffs - simple.

Yeah I withdrew that post straight after.

[5150]

Anyone fancy a quid on Sunderland not to be promoted?

Ill let you know tomorrow at around 2.15 ;)

[N. Herts Wolf]

3 points between 4th & 10th with 2/3 games to go! You can't say this league's not exciting this year.

Screw your courage to the sticking place and we'll not fail.

[Tarcisio Mifsud]

A lot of good/bad results. The Preston and Stoke matches had very good results for Wolves and we managed to keep in the play-offs places inspite that we were not playing so whatever the result is tomorrow Wolves would still remain in the play-offs.

But the results of Colchester and Southampton confirm that the play-off place is not yet secured, as these two teams have moved further near. The 3 points taken by Leicester and the loss of Leeds, have ensure the former would surely not be relegated and can breath freely when we visit them on the last day of the league on Sunday 6th May.

Still let us just focus on tomorrow's match, if we take the 3 points Wolves would move to 4th place and that would be great, as more or less the play off place would be secured and Birmingham would still be in the running for an automatic place even if they lose to Wolves tomorrow following Sunderland's defeat today.

[Toon Wolf]

Taking a look at the table (again) ...it appears that MM was right in stating that the point gained at Palace was indeed precious !

Absolutely, though there were some idiots on here who were criticising McCarthy for the fact that we didn't win even with 10 men!

[5150]

Amazing to think that single point is the difference between us having a chance and being 10th !

[London Wolves]

I didn't think we would be still be 6th today. If we win tomorrow we will be 4th :)

Superb Fox win. It's all in our hands. The players were relaxed and confident yesterday.

[Big Mack]

Another factor might be if we win tomorrow it'll increase the pressure on Albion to win on Monday.

[Wardrobe_Wolf]

But the results of Colchester and Southampton confirm that the play-off place is not yet secured, as these two teams have moved further near.

I'm not bothered about these results. These teams are behind us in the league with an extra game played. If we bottle it and allow them in, we aren't good enough to go up (obviously).

The most important thing today was Stoke not winning as they couldve tampered with our position and take it out of our hands.

3 games left, still in our hands. A win tomorrow and we're fourth. And with QPR safe and Leicester nearly safe, it should (hopefully) make for an easier last 2 fixtures.

A good day indeed!

[Powelly]

IF ( and its a big if) we can pull it off tomorrow then we've got a foot in the door...

as well as cranking it up on albion and stopping blues winning the title...

[Emperor Wolf]

GREAT STUFF!
We can afford to lose 0-11 tomorrow and still have our own fate in our own hands!
74 points will do?
PNE won´t get that many more points.
Tomorrow,we have EVERYTHING to win,and nothing really to lose.
We are in a perfect situation this Saturday evening.
It gonna be allright!
HI HO WOOOOOLVERHAMPTON!!!!!

[molineux man]

Stoke and Colchester play each other next game, so that should eliminate one more team.

Never mind about the point against Palace, what about the point against Sheff Weds?? Without that last minute Keogh goal they would be above us now...

[TamWolf]

stokies missed chances galore, the tart hendrie missed a sitter, & got done in injury time, BEAUTY!! keeps us in 6th & bit less pressure to get something from 2mora. would take a draw, but lets hope Jay keeps the run of form going & we leapfrog albion & preston, who are imploding.
:D

[Bahama Wolf]

Dont forget, Stoke play Colchester next week, and Preston have to play away to Blues so i would say a win tomorrow and we have one foot firmly in the play-offs. The pressure will all be on Blues tomorrow following results today. I think if anyone, i think Preston are likely to lose out to possibly Southampton who with an away game at Norwich and home game to Southend are the team likeliest to sneak one of the places.

[London Wolves]

Can't believe Preston lost at home they have had a terrible run. Is it 5 defeats out of 6?

[molineux man]

Yup. Had the easiest run-in too, should really have been challenging for auto-promotion.

[wolf of sedgley]

Dont forget, Stoke play Colchester next week, and Preston have to play away to Blues so i would say a win tomorrow and we have one foot firmly in the play-offs.

Well it's at home to blues but still a tough game.

[London Wolves]

That's also 2 games running that Stoke have let in a 90th min goal :)

[jrpb-3]

And with QPR safe and Leicester nearly safe, it should (hopefully) make for an easier last 2 fixtures.

A good day indeed!

I'm not so sure that QPR and Leicester being saf will make the games easier for us. They will have no pressure on them in that case and may play better.

On the other hand maybe players will be thinking about their summer holidays . Either way we need to make sure we don't take anything for granted and are on top of our game

[molineux man]

QPR have gone on a good run recently, they will be no push over. I dare say Leicester will provide a stern test as well.

[HIGHLANDER]

That's two weeks running that I have sat in front of the tv willing teams to equalise against Stoke,and then amazingly those teams obliging and equalising in the last minute.I'm beginning to feel that Lady luck is on our side this season.

couldn't agree more. we've been very, very lucky when it comes to other team's results so far.

[gaz kford]

I see Stoke fans, i use the word "fans" loosely, attacked women & children with stones etc, in the car park after the game. Against Hull today.:mad:

And there might be allowed to bring 5,200 to the Mol if we meet in the play off's.:eek:

[Hatch End Wolf]

There are 5,200 Potties "fans"?

[gaz kford]

There are 5,200 Potties "fans"?
About 150-200 kick off today, and the police stood back and watched it for a while. Then hit a female Hull fan ( does that remind you of someone ).

[Hatch End Wolf]

Don't tell me, the Potties Police are trained by the West Midland Police!

[Reach For The Sky]

couldn't agree more. we've been very, very lucky when it comes to other team's results so far.

I agree as well, we've done extremely well when relying on luck this season. The only time things have gone pear shaped is when we've had to rely on our players having quality and bottle, we lack the first and we sometimes lose the second.

Leeds will be meeting Millwall next season in the "First" division.........nice!

[Gratters]

Can't believe Preston lost at home they have had a terrible run. Is it 5 defeats out of 6?

Correct - given Preston can't buy a win at the moment I think we can consider Coventry the most gutless side in the league for rolling over to a 0-4 defeat - the league should look into that !

[wolf of sedgley]

From the reports on that match i've read it sounds like the cov players are on the beach already.
