Sounds like a Paul Hurst viewpoint to me...not a disaster if we draw....to stand a good chance of the title we need to win every remaining game, end of.
Its ok looking up but a draw keeps teams below us in touching distance also, we need to maintain the pressure not only on Barnet but on the BRovers and Macc too, get them to concede they are only playing for the play off's.
As you say...while mathematically a draw makes little difference over a win on the future results needed to catch Barnet it just gives others something to fight for.

We need to send out a strong message this evening that we are title contenders and try to dent the hopes of the rest of the top 5 while doing so.

Lots of teams blow big leads every year. Kevin Keegan was my personal favourite....

A draw is nearer a loss than a win.


Not really. One goal either way is either of the 2 opposing results...

I understand the OP and think it raises some interesting points. To be honest, it just makes me all the more angry that Hurst threw away those 2 points against Chester. But, what's done is done and we need a result tonight - preferably a win.

What I would say is that Dover away is a tough game at this level, and that IMO there is no such thing as an 'easy run in' when you're trying to get promoted or avoid relegation. I agree that there are plenty of twists to come, and we have to go and play with freedom and confidence. The title is Barnet's to lose, and that brings its own pressure. Let's see how they deal with it.

This very true, so, ideally (as I will be going to this game) we'll do a Man City last season and secure the title at the death at Southport away leaving us time to nick the title with minimum amount of time to handle this pressure and celebrate the victory at a full Blundell Park.

Don't blame the Chester match we lost twice against Lincoln plus our home form when the defence was weaker cost us a lot of points.

This post is encouraging (to us) from the Barnet Board last Sat:

Grimsby major concern!
Postby ssagrin1 » 21 Mar 2015, 20:10
Having studied remaining fixtures for ourselves and close rivals, Grimsby appear to have far easier games than that if us and rovers ( excluding their game next week v mac).

They are on a seriously good run and are right on our coattails.

They play away on Tuesday at Dover and a win will see them just 3 points adrift of us .

I think they are in with an excellent shout all be it they rely on us and rovers losing points and that could be next week!!!!
