-- #7 Rochdale plays on the road at #2 Leyton Orient. #8 hereford hosts #10 oxford. We host #11 Grimsby. None of our opponents have anything at stake anymore, but at least none of them are playing the worst teams in the league.

Rochdale: In with a win, in with a tie/loss and Hereford & Woking tie/loss.
Hereford: In with a win + Rochdale tie/loss.
Woking: In with a win + Rochdale tie/loss & Hereford tie/loss

The only way we make the playoffs is by winning and having both our competitors fail to win.

Grimsby(18-10-17, 11th) @ Woking(20-8-16, 9th)

We've never beaten these guys, 0-1-2. We tied at their place in December and lost both times last year. We are slight favorites today, 6:4, Grimsby is 13:8. Grimsby's striker Tom Corner has 12 goals and is out today due to a bruised shin, we're happy to see that. They do have pretty balanced scoring though with 13 goals from Rene Howe and 12 goals from Richard Peniket

GK: Lynch
D: Nikolaou/Cooper/Smith/Ogogo
DMC: Taylor
MC: Pulis/O'Sullivan
AM: Harsanyi/Kenny
ST: Subotic

Upson is out now with his long term injury, Pulis will start in his place. Grimsby runs a 4-4-2 with Peniket and Howe as their fowards. We're attacking today, win or else.

3': Defender Ben Gerring for Grimsby picks up an early yellow.

4': Kenny makes a run into the area and earns us a corner kick. Its taken to Smith, he turns with it, fires a shot, its a great dviing save by their keeper... a second corner is cleared easily.

7': They attack and we clear a cross, triggering a counterattack, a ball is played forward to Kenny, he goes down after a tackle but O'Sullivan is there, he crosses to Harsanyi.. keeper comes out and grabs it.

10': No score in the other matches we're watching yet.

11': Harnsayi with a cross, Kenny a header... off the crossbar, cleared behind for a corner. No luck on the corner.

14': Grimsby take their first shot, a poor wide effort from 25 yards out.

20': Still ties in both the other matches.

27': Long run by Kenny, he beats two men to put a cross into the area, but Harsanyi heads it over.

30': O'Sullivan gets a shot form 20 yards out but its saved. Still no action in the other two games either.

39': Taylor makes a tackle to win us the ball in our offensive half of the field, he plays it foward to Subotic who takes a strong shot from 20 yards out, saved by the keeper and turned behind, we can't do anything with the corner.

HALF: No score in any of the 3 matches that will determine the playoffs. We are attacking well but we just haven't broken through yet. Kenny has been getting more than his share of shots but he's not the best finisher. I bring Bell-Baggie in at AMR and hope he can get those same shots but put them away. We have a 56/44 possession edge, 8 shots to their 4, we have 3 on target though, they have none on target. We've earned 8 corner kicks and done nothing at all with them. We'll keep the pressure on and expect a lapse on their end at some point here.

46': Harsanyi with a strong run into the penalty area, he blows by his man and takes a shot, the keeper is in good position to turn it behind though, we earn a corner which of course leads to a header 50 feet over.

49': Throwin grimsby on the left side in our half. They cross it in immediately and midfielder Bryant gets free for a header which easily beats Lynch. Uh-oh. 0-1

58': Harsanyi receives a pass from Subotic in the penalty area and he looks like he should score easily... but the keeper blocks his shot, ugh we needed totie that up.

66': We've had a couple more corners with no luck so far.

76': Bell-baggie receives a pass in a graet position on the right side... but he's offsides.

77': N'Diaye in for Taylor and up to AMC.

81': Ogogo with a yellow.

83': Free kick near midfield, its taken quickly foward to N'Diaye, he plays an immediate through ball to Bell-Baggie who blasts a shot off the keeper and in! 1-1

85': Rochdale losing, Hereford tied, if we could get a miracle goal here we could make the playoffs still.

89': 4 long minutes fly off the clock with no highlights. We earn a throwin in their end but nothing doing. 3 minutes of extra time.

92': Throwin for Grimsby in our defensive end. Its thrown into the penalty area, Smith goes to head it out... and is called for a foul, its a penalty. ST Howe converts and we're done. 1-2

Woking 1 : 2 Grimsby

We pick up a tie and a loss in our last two home games, winning either one would have put us in the playoffs. We have performed WELL above expectations this year and I'm thrilled about our position going into next season, but we really, really blew it in this final 2 weeks of the season.

Their keeper is man of the match today. Subotic 7.0, Bell-Baggie 7.2 and the goal. Joe O'Sullivan comes up short with a 5.8 today. Pulis was alright in for the injured Upson today.

Leyton Orient beats Rochdale 1:0, while Hereford plays Oxford to a scoreless tie. Rochdale and Hereford both end the season with 70 points but rochdale has a significantly better goal differential and they earn the final spot in the playoffs.

I'll update the rest of the season and end of season stuff later on, so disappointing!
