Makes me laugh all these blunts coming on R.S. saying we should watch out for Wycombe. If it was that easy to put the skids under our automatic hopes, then why didn't they do the job against all the lower teams who took them to the cleaners and ultimately relegation. Exeter has a far better chance of beating the blunts than Wycomb have of beating us at our fortress. We are where we are on merit and likewise Wycombe. We have much more reason for beating them than they have of doing the blunts a so-called favour. They couldn't and didn't do themselves any favours all season, so why should they want to help anyone else and suddenly miraculously find the ability to beat an odds-on promotion candidate that has amassed a massive 90 points? As others have already stated, if we can't beat a relegated side (i.e. league 2) on our own turf in front of 37,000 partizan supporters roaring the team on to promotion, then we don't deserve to go up! Forget nerves......leave that to Wycombe contemplating an emphatic defeat at the hands of the MASSIVE Wednesday. UTO and welcome championship status!

Yes, I have wiped that match out of my memory, almost.
We are a different kettle of fish this year though - a much better team. However, . . .we are all Wednesday, and we know . . . . don't we.

The Norwich game??
We battered them on the final day, in front of 37k & even a crisp packet scored a goal so I'm reasonably confident!

We have to have a mindset, that we have to go out all guns blazing from the off. pepper spray there goal with crosses, shots and i do believe that DJ has to install in the team, that it doesn't matter who scores as long as we do, as some players can become greedy, in these type of matches, due to the fact they want to be the hero.

I'd say treat this game in the normal way. Business as usual, put Wycombe away we're at Hillsborough. No drama or histrionics, just a win please.

I will always have the memory of Carlisle in 1980, last match of the season. We needed a point and we drew 0-0, but the scenes after were incredible. Most players were stripped down to there under crackers, as The Old Lady was swamped with fans on the pitch

Has anybody got footage of the 1980 promotion game?
Would love to see the pitch invasion again

It was 2 points for a win in those days Hirsty but in today's money we would have been champions with 89 points that year. 85 would have finished second. Big difference from this year.

Anyhow, irrespective of what I said earlier, Southampton played already relegated Coventry last Saturday knowing that a win would guarantee them auto promotion.
So what was the outcome? - A resounding 4-0 win.
I have a soft spot for Wednesday and to be truthfull, I can't see them slipping up on Saturday, especially under the guidance of Dave Jones, so it's a 3-0 win at least and a blow to the Blunts.

My point exactly Mirf. Any team worth its salt would totally destroy such opposition. As I said before, if they haven't done anything all season, how can they possible do it now? Would be a very wierd result otherwise and would be very questionable!
