Here we go again into another “most important game of the season” game.
Not quite a “must win” but definitely a “must not lose” game.
So what side do we start with?
Same again? Apparently, Pratley is doubtful with a hamstring injury – where did that come from? Let’s hope it is true and we stop playing the Spearing, Derik, Pratley negative midfield.
So perhaps Henry instead of Pratley. I doubt that much else will change with the side.
It is the approach to the game that worries me.
Will we continue to play not to lose or will we go out to win. Getting a win will ease the pressure on the last game of the season; in fact it might actually get us up on Saturday night if Gillingham help us. If we are content with a draw, imagine starting the last match of the season having to beat Peterborough.
I’ll set off, as usual, with a positive but nervous mind and expect something to click on Saturday and for us to come away with 3 points.

I understand Parkinson's comments in saying that he felt he needed to try again with the same approach (ALF alone up front with Vela in support) in the Bury game to see if the Oldham debacle was a one off or not. He now knows that it doesn't work and I am sure he will correct the formation and team selection for Saturday (the style will be corrected on another occasion I hope). They will be fighting for their lives but unlike Oldham, are not showing signs of improvement. Away win.

We need 4 points and I don't feel confident on any game we must win. The teamtalk for Peterborough manager couldn't be simpler "these lads will be crapping themselves, fans will be on their backs at every misplaced pass, our fans have been charged £28 for this so go and attack them and put on a show, they will crack!"
Port Vale need a win probably more but at least they know who'll play and how to play. We are at odds with ourselves.
Saying we only need 4 points is all well and good but the way we play I think we could end up with a single point!

I really want to be positive and say we are going to win on Saturday and everything will be ok, but deep down I can't because as much as I love BWFC I think we have blown it and the mighty Fleetwood will pip us to second place. I am in two minds to go or not I might go for a long walk like I did when we played Stoke all them years ago and check the result at 17.05 when it's all over. It's so nerve racking it's doing my head in.

Very much doubt it.
Last time against Port Vale we were quick out of the traps and had the game won in 20 minutes. In that good run we also got early goals but recently have begun so lack lustre. The message has to be to put the pressure on early. But the "don't panic, keep calm and let's not lose our head. Keep it tight" will be the message.

A goal
That's all I'm asking for
A goal
A net bulger
A goal
I'll take the most mind numbingly, boring, excruciating, dullest depressing 1 NIL win if it gives us the 3 points we do valuably need... Maybe start with Long and Henry and dare o say, bring Wilkinson on if it's 0-0 after 75 mins COYWM

Setting off in a couple of hours time - hopefully the M6 will behave itself.
I am so tense, it is ridiculous.
Logically, we are streets ahead of Port Vale and should be confident of a decent victory so why am I so nervous.
I hope that this evening I will be back on here laughing at myself for doubting us and celebrating promotion.
Fingers crossed.

Jack Deardons just claimed that as things stand we are 'technically' up
Think your wrong there Jack as Scunny are winning and if they win their last game they'll be up, that's if we don't win today or v Peterborough and they are playing for fun now as they're 2-0 up over Bristol R

Something tells me we're going to be glued to our transistor radio's at the ReeMac v Peterborough hoping that Fleet n Scun lose It's now 500 minutes since we scored Fleetwood have equalised 😞😞😞

Must have been the first red card that both sets of supporters boo'd.
Parky and us fans have a long, long week ahead of us. Draw and were up.
Personally I would go for the view that if we score 2 we should not be beaten. Therefore attack from the start. I have a feeling parky will think 0-0 and were up. That's a tactic that my nerves can't handle.
