Okonkwo made a nice save on a PK that should've seen *at least* a yellow, if not possibly a red card on him for a clumsy takedown, but P'boro pokes it in to make it 2-1 in the 72nd minute.  Squeaky bum time for the Red Dragons!

Hanging around for auto prom. 13 matches to go and if they win them all, they’re in.  Since that won’t happen, the back to back against wycombe and Stockport in 2 weeks should be pivotal to that goal.

What happened is that he’s 30 and that’s around the time a lot of strikers start to drop off. For every Harry Kane and Mo Salah, there are tons of guys that peak earlier. I also think his injuries haven’t helped either.

That was going to be another point I made. You combine these two and I don't think his struggles look out of place. He was a men among boys in the two lower leageues, this year has been a fight and next year, should they secure promotion - I'm intrigued to see.

Oh, I agree with both of you ... just thought it was a worthwhile admission from the sports media instead of always buttering up Deadpool and Rob.

Away at Wycombe on the 15th is gonna be crazy.

 

I have a soft spot in my heart for High Wycombe having been there a few times for work. Gotta say I will be wearing blue next weekend.

After an extended stoppage due to a medical emergency in the stands, the Fighting Deadpools get a HUGE three points over Wycombe to (at least for now) take second place.

I took a peek at wycombe’s remaining matches and it’s lots of teams trying to get into the promotion tourney spots, and shrewsbury.  
 

wrexham have the easier path, after next weekend’s hosting of Stockport.  

I don’t know where to look, but I wonder what the betting markets are saying for wrexham’s shot at auto promotion now.

Made up a goal in the diff column today. Both play the bottom two teams on the table on Tuesday so they had better both win, and look for GD opportunities in doing so. Wycombe’s game in hand will be played next Tuesday.

I will be in Wales in late June and then am perhaps going to roam around Britain for a bit, so I may pass through Wrexham. I won’t have a car, and won’t be close, but it would be fun to seen some of the filming locations and cast of The Wrexham Show.

There are no 2 points in Wales further than 135miles from one another, and there are 2 train stations in Wrexham that service the entire nation.

Good to know. 

I am looking to get a Eurail pass tonight while they are still 15% off and need to figure out if I get a pass for 10 or 15 days over a 2 month period or just buy a full month or 2 month unlimited. The plan is to also visit a bit of Germany and then hopefully some Spain and dip into Portugal and France from there. 

Big eyes, limited plans for now.

"Dipping into Portugal" by train is extremely challenging and has been since Covid, when both overnight trains from Spain (one from Madrid to Lisboa, the other from Hendaye at the French-Spanish border to Porto) were discontinued by the Spanish rail operator RENFE. You can still travel between the two countries but it takes multiple trains, some of them local services, either from Madrid via Badajoz to Lisboa or from the north via Vigo to Porto (normally requires an overnight in Vigo). Alternatively, there's a bus service (2 hours or so) from the Sevilla train station to Tavira and Faro in the Algarve, where you can connect by rail to the rest of Portugal. All of these are doable and fun if you love trains, but will take a bite out of your rail pass days. You'd probably want the unlimited pass to do that.

Unfortunately, there is no longer Wrexham - Portugal direct service either, although one hopes this will change once the Premier League is attained.

Both teams waste the opportunity with a draw.

Birmingham City took full advantage and won. They are 11 clear with 6 to play and 2 games in hand (so really 8 for them). They need 3 wins to clinch the title. 8 points in their magic number: Points they clinch + points Wrexham or Wycombe drop.
