I'm happy to reel Wednesday in a little — let's make this four into two rather than three into one. And let's see how Sheff Wed cope with a little wobble. They are vulnerable.
Also — let's just back ourselves. The team is very, very good. If we sustain the kind of form we'll need in order to go up, Barnsley aren't going to be especially relevant. |  |

Indeed.
Didn’t think either side were any better than us last night, and 4 into 2 is a better equation that 3 into 1.
I think we’ll get another 18-20 points, but incredibly, that might not be enough. The clumsy draws and dreadful referees will cost us equally. |  |

Totally agree. Barnsley aren't the only team 'going like a train' at the moment. |  |

I agree, we'd ideally like it to become four into two. Barnsley are well within our control considering we still have to play them and have +12 GD on them.
I think last night's result will be judged on how Sheff Wed do in their next two. They have FGR and Cheltenham before we play again which you'd expect them to pick up 4 points minimum from. Hopefully, they falter but FGR really does seem a gimme game. The same fixture Plymouth had after their hammering at Barnsley too. | | | |

Agreed, I wanted Barnsley to win. |  |

If we get 95 points and miss out on the top 2 with our goal difference I will be very surprised. |  |

Sheffield Wednesday play Forest Green on Sunday unfortunately. FG always seem to come along just when a team needs a morale boosting win! Happened to us and now unfortunately Plymouth and soon to be Wednesday! |  |

Plymouth need 5 wins and a draw from 8 games to get to 96 - they're quite capable of that, if not more.
Sheff Wed need 6 wins from 10 games to get to 96 - they also are quite capable of that, if not more. | |

Sheff Weds have six away games in remaining 10 fixtures: FGR, Cheltenham, Oxford, Burton, Bris R and Shrewsbury. FGR aside, they have some potentially difficult fixtures on the road. Lincoln and Derby at home could be a challenge too. | | | |

Indeed. Had plenty of people tell me "Wednesday are too far gone".
Given they are now second they clearly are not gone, we now get to see how Wednesday can handle another team breathing down their necks. |  |

Not sure Plymouth are capable of that, it'd be an uptick on their recent form, especially away from home. | |

Only one half-decent side in their away games though in Shrewsbury. Can't see Morecambe, Exeter or Rovers putting up much of a fight.
The recent losses were away to Barnsley, Peterborough and Sheff Wed. Previous to that only two losses, although fairly mixed wins to draws. They might drop a couple but I can't see them dropping loads. |  |

Exeter and Rovers are local derbies and not easy places to go to. I'd be very surprised to see Plymouth win those two. Accrington are probably the worst side in the league currently and it didn't look like it was exactly comfortable for them last night, albeit they got the job done. Morecambe aren't great but they have more about them than Accrington I'd say. I think Plymouth will drop points, I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to have a slip up at home as well. For me they're the weakest of the top 4 despite sitting top currently. | |

Many people (not SB) seem to be pushing this idea that you accept this or you're blubbing. I find that odd. If Wed get dragged back into it then great but I can't see it so I would have preferred Barnsley dropping points. It's not out of fear of Barnsley or lack of belief in Town, it's just the way I see it. I think Town are capable of a monstrous run in the final nine games so i'm not overly concerned but I standby my comment that it was a crap night for Town (IMO). |  |

Morecambe, Shrewsbury and Exeter are all in the top 12 for home form. And Exeter is a local derby - it's pretty much the only thing Exeter have to play for now.
Lincoln and Bristol Rovers won't be easy at home - two tricky teams on their day. Both have taken points off us and Wednesday. | | | |

Fair points, same with Herbs comments.
Maybe I'm just being pessimistic! | |

As a Town fan, pessimism is probably a good place to sit. | |

Yeah an alternative team on our points tally and with our fixtures to come would really be in a deceptively close position, as we're behind the curve with much tougher matches to come. Where I have hope is that we're not your average team with our points total at this stage of the season; we've left so many points on the table and are capable of showing why we're so far ahead of the rest of the league in the xG calculations this season in these remaining crunch games 🤞 | | | |

I agree
I would rather Barnsley had lost so we waved them goodbye and concentrate on Plymouth. [Post edited 22 Mar 2023 9:39]

Yeah, I didn't understand this either. The team whom, out of the top two, we think we can catch, got a routine win. The team whom we thought might be out of reach are now closer. If we could catch Plymouth before, we still can, and now they're the team at the top. [Post edited 22 Mar 2023 10:29]

Aye, but hauling in Argyle will most likely mean us staying ahead of Barnsley innit buh. Unless Argyle completely implode, but why would they? They will hopefully drop some points though...
And as some wag commented a coupla weeks back, it would be classic ITFC for Argyle to implode but Town be beaten to autos by Barnsley. Arf! | |

I don't think anyone is/was blubbing, I just don't think it was that bad a result considering a) Argyle predictably (Stanley are awful) won and b) we need to maintain an extraordinary winning form to have a chance, which will mean staying ahead of Barnsley anyway.
So two teams to put the pressure on, innit ba. | |

Thing is, we can still directly affect Barnsley's final points total (by drawing with or beating them). We can do no further damage to SheffWed or Plymouth.
The only way to 'concentrate on Plymouth' is by continually winning games between now and the end of the season. Preferably all of them. If we can do that (by no means guaranteed), then the clubs below us - specifically Barnsley - will remain that way. Even winning their game in hand (at Exeter next Tuesday) by anything less than an extraordinary margin (13+ goals), still leaves Town ahead of them in the table. |  |
