I think FGR are done for and Colchester have enough about them and enough games to finish above us, so that leaves a straight shoot out between us and Sutton for the other relegation spot, and that is an alarming thought. They looked dead and buried a while back, but have taken 17 points from their last ten games.

Our two draws against them could turn out to be pivotal, as was our losing to Scunny last time we got relegated. That terrible penalty award at their place is hanging around like a smelly fart.

I'd hate for it to go to the last day in a Burton type scenario, with Crawley being another unfashionable team in the same vein, but of course they are much better than we are. Hopefully, they will have nothing riding on it, but even if they rest players, the ones incoming will want to impress.

Praying the results go our way tomorrow, but history suggests that the misery will carry on until the bitter end.

For me the most critical game today is at Harrogate. A home win there and we are in a strong position regardless of what happens at Crewe.

Agree, I'm worried that Harrogate are very beatable, it's also the least inhospitable ground in the country and their home form is poor. They were nothing special on Tuesday night and I can see Sutton winning today which, assuming we lose today, makes next Tuesday such a big game.

After today both Sutton and FGR will have only 2 games left ( Max 6 Pts ) compared to our 3 and Colchester 4. Today is a big game for us to win, that said it is massive for the other 3 and defeats for both FGR & Sutton. If they lose, and if we do, FGR are down and we only need 3 points from our last 3 games.

The future is in our hands and 3 points today will be most welcome.

I think a point would be a very good result for Town today against a side who need a win to confirm their place in the play-offs, but I agree with others; the most important result today is at Harrogate.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Crewe’s form has been sketchy at best of late plus quite a few injuries. Great opportunity for us to go there and get three points and make things a lot more comfortable for us.

Harrogate now have a shout at getting into the playoffs. Hopefully they take that with both hands.


All Town aren’t we
