Newport still have a chance, albeit a slim one, of getting into the playoffs themselves. They have plenty to play for at Barnet next week.

I don't buy the idea that teams will offer no resistance because they've got nothing to play for. Newport beat a play off contenders despite nothing to play for, Morecambe got a draw at home to a decent Carlisle team despite essentially being safe. Teams won't just bend over for Barnet.



I agree. Some of these teams will have players who are playing for contract renewals especially those fringe players who are given an opportunity in a no-consequence game at the end of the season.

I think we're going to need a win against Swindon or Notts County, as 2 points might not be enough, as I can see Barnet getting 4 points out of their next 2 games, and their goal difference is better.....hopefully we'll be safe by then, but on current form it looks like we might need to get something from the Forest Green game.

Such fine lines, as I see Morecambe are 40-1( who have 2 more points) to get relegated and we are 3-1. A win yesterday and we would have been about 25-1. Let's hope Morecambe lose their next two games, and then they may need a result against Barnet to be safe.

One more point will be enough I think ( hope )

Barnet might get 2 pts before the Chesterfield game,

Chesterfield might get 4 points before the Barnet game,

So if we are on 43 points neither of them could reach us.

Its going to be close so can we manage a win just one win.

I believe that 44 points will be enough to stay up.

We need to find a couple of draws or one win from our remaining games to get over the line.

Of course, mathematically speaking 44 points doesn’t guarantee anything but I’d be mega surprised if one of Chesterfield or Barnet started showing championship form.

At the end of the day.......our fate is now back in our own hands.

Looking at the fixtures.... worst case scenario is that we have to win at FGR to stay up but it might well not get to that.

After yesterday Barnet fans do not think they will survive. Many seem resigned to the drop.
