So in theory we need 15 points to avoid the drop, personalty I'd like 18 just to be safe. So where do you reckon they'll come from? My view is this.....
Luton - 0 Yeovil - 0 Cheltenham - 3 Crawley - 0 Cambridge - 1 Exeter - 0 Carlisle - 1 Port Vale - 0 Lincoln - 0 Coventry - 1 Stevenage - 3 Wycombe - 0 Chesterfield - 1 Barnet - 3 Swindon - 1 Notts County - 1 VGR - 0
A bumpy ride ahead ladies & gents.

For what it is worth I predict:
Luton - 0 Yeovil - 1 Cheltenham - 1 Crawley - 0 Cambridge - 1 Exeter - 0 Carlisle - 1 Port Vale - 3 Lincoln - 1 Coventry - 0 Stevenage - 1 Wycombe - 0 Chesterfield - 1 Barnet - 1 Swindon - 0 Notts County - 0 VGR - 1
My ride is a bit bumpier Herts! I can only see 1 more win this season unless there are dramatic changes.

The above are of course based on Slade disappearing after the Yeovil game - you will see there's a 3 match unbeaten run in there thanks to caretaker manager Dave Moore

Luton - 0 Yeovil - 1 Cheltenham - 3 Crawley - 1 Cambridge - 1 Exeter - 0 Carlisle -0 Port Vale - 3 Lincoln - 1 (Optimistic ?) Coventry - 0 Stevenage -1 Wycombe - 0 Chesterfield - 3 (Jack Lester will surely let us win this one) Barnet - 3
17 points probably enough
Swindon - Wont matter Notts County - Won't matter VGR - Won't matter
We should have enough points to stay up by the final 3 games, if we are only on 46/47 points by then, I think there's a good chance we'll get relegated.

I ran the calculator was very pessimistic, couple of wins and a few draws, but we still easily survived 16 Cheltenham 46 -10 56 17 Stevenage 46 -12 53 18 Crewe 46 -15 52 19 Grimsby 46 -17 50 20 Morecambe 46 -20 47 21 Forest Green 46 -25 46 22 Yeovil 46 -20 45 23 Chesterfield 46 -30 41 24 Barnet 46 -32 32 I think we'd need to have one of the worst three months of our entire history to go down https://thefishy.co.uk/football-calculator.php

My calculations just before Christmas had very similar results to yours, Rob. 50 points is the usual comfortably safe figure but I reckon this year will be a bit lower than that. I had it as 43 securing safety but there has been an upturn in form from the lower teams since.

If this was a "normal" division with 3 relegation places we might be in more trouble, but you have to be monumentally crap this year to go down. I think we're in trouble next year for sure as season ticket sales are likely to be well down after months of fairly meaningless games. People are going to get out the habit of going between now and then. I struggle to believe Slade can even identify realistic targets, never mind persuade them to join him (he spent all summer looking for a No. 9 and ended up with Hooper). So the combination of a poor squad, a small kitty and an uninspiring manager mean we could we'll struggle next year.

In the year York went down, we would already be safe as both they and Dagenham only managed 34 points. Other seasons, 50 points hasn't been enough. The thing is, you never know what is going to happen. We will probably be safe, probably....

How would you describe what's been on offer so far, I don't think the players are completely crap it's just that they either can't play to Sladeballs instructions or don't like playing his style. I think Hopper could be a very effective striker but he has to be the laziest player we have had in many seasons of being poor. I worry too for next season especially how this one is going and lack of support the board is giving Slade. Both of them are incapable of being successful it seems in football.

Unfortunately some of our players are crap, why after Slade bought them are they no where near being first choice. As regards Hooper, not sure where you would get the idea he could be an effective striker based on what he has done for us so far and I suggest you have a read what the Port Vale fans thought of him.

I am hoping we can get a few wins early to ease the pressure. On the positive side, the players are clearly still playing for Slade and the effort it there. It does look like we are not going to add the required quality though, talk of players being expensive is hard to swallow after the club statement.
Look at how Forest Green have strengthened, lots of people are expecting them to be in trouble, I think they will end up finishing above us.
Our need for a striker is even more severe now Matt is injured and we need to add someone with the quality to make us better straight away.

It's very depressing that this is what we are hoping for out off the season before the end of January. I did not want Slade back but was hopeful in the summer we would build team around Jones and Osbourne and move forward, Slade's signings have been terrible, even a player with the talent of Dembele seems not to be utilized properly That most will be hay with a dull 0-0 at home on Saturday about sums up how low our expectations have plummeted

Trouble is Hooper has not any sort of run of games to show wether he can be any good good, same with Cardwell. Another manager (a proper one) could maybe get these players looking like superstars to what they are now.

50 points ? I can't see us scoring 50 goals this season!
We have scored 28 league goals this season compared to 35 at the same stage last season. Altogether we scored 59 last season.
It's goals that earn points**, and I can't see us scoring many!
** Yes I know 0-0 games give us a point, but we would need 15 0-0's out of our 17 remaining games !!

I did it and was fairly pessimistic and still got us to 50 points. The good news is that we've probably post the Luton game got the best run in of the relegation contenders. FGR have to play all the teams at the top.

Just had a look at the result last time we played the teams we are yet to play this season. (Yes I know it is not an exact science....)
LUTON D 1-1 YEOVIL D 0-0 CHELT L 0-1 CRAWL L 2-3 CAMBS W 1-0 EXETER L 0-3 CARLISLE W 2-1 VALE L 1-2 LINCOLN D 1-1 COVEN L 2-3 STEVEN D 2-2 WYCOM L 1-2 CHEST/F D 2-2 BARNET D 2-2 SWIND L 0-2 NOTTS W 2-0 FGR W 1-0
If we did the same as last time we would get 18 points - enough for safety.
So where do you think we can get at least 15 points ?

I don't think we'll go down this season, but I do see comparisons with the seasons before we actually went down last time. When we were promoted, I believed that our exile in that awful league was something that would never be repeated, that it was all in the past and that we were on the way back to permanent League membership and stability, with promotion a possibility every year. Now I'm not so sure. We seem to be in another situation of despair. As posted above, if the club is not careful, it will be impossible to recruit ambitious players, and we shall end up with everyone else's don't wants and a slide that will eventually take us down again.

I only did town results on mine, I said 2 weeks ago I can see Fgr surging up the table with the quality they've signed. Clearly a club that have seen things need to happen and acted upon it quickly.

Just had a look at the result last time we played the teams we are yet to play this season. (Yes I know it is not an exact science....)
LUTON D 1-1 YEOVIL D 0-0 CHELT L 0-1 CRAWL L 2-3 CAMBS W 1-0 EXETER L 0-3 CARLISLE W 2-1 VALE L 1-2 LINCOLN D 1-1 COVEN L 2-3 STEVEN D 2-2 WYCOM L 1-2 CHEST/F D 2-2 BARNET D 2-2 SWIND L 0-2 NOTTS W 2-0 FGR W 1-0
If we did the same as last time we would get 18 points - enough for safety.
So where do you think we can get at least 15 points ?
That has confused me. You mean last time we played them this season? Surely lots of those results are wrong? We beat Chesterfield, Vale and Swindon for a start... ?

My betting shows that guessing a football result on the day is difficult enough, so I'm not even going to attempt guessing the result of a game in 96 days time!

Probably as Chesterfield would then have to get 19 to catch us and 20 to overtake. They have managed 27 all season. However, i take nothing for granted.

Stevenage (H) Good Friday Wycombe (A) Easter Monday Chesterfield (H) Barnet (H) Swindon (A) Notts County (H) VGR (A)
Those two home games just after Easter could prove decisive.

I am concerned that if there are 3 'six point' games two of which are at home from which we should get 7 points, then they are the ones where we get nowt. So putting aside Chesterfield, Barnet and FGR we need to spring the odd unexpected win a couple of times - surely between now and May we can fluke something - cant we?

A month later, whilst I thought we would have got 6 points more by now (only achieved 1!), we probably need another 9/10 points to definately stay up, what does everyone else think?

We are not even averaging 0.3 points per game over what is almost a third of the season. First started to have concerns after the Morecambe defeat, and we have not improved one iota since. Yesterday was terrible for us, but it was bound to happen sooner or later. Funny thing is that i thought the bottom teams had harder games than usual and i expected them to mostly carry on losing. Some of the results of the teams below us showed they have the capability to not only score goals and win games, but do it against sides they should have struggled against. I can't see us doing that and relegation is looming large. We need a weekend opposite to yesterday, where we win and they mostly lose, but i can't see it at the moment.

Best hope is that JF splashes the cash to find some unattached goalscoring mercenary from somewhere....which is pretty slim I'd say! We need a goalscorer more than a new manager. What can a new guy do with a team without a goalscorer? It's a weird and sad day when you're wishing for another Conlon. And we let Amond walk away......

If we play like yesterday and continue to be as poor as we have for quite a while you will get at least a point at SB.

I believe we can only sign and play a player who was unattached at the end of the last transfer window. Victor Anichebe is available, as is Nile Ranger who is a massive bell end but better than what we have, Carlton Cole, Will Hoskins, Matt Fryatt.

Only unattached players released during the window are available now. At least i think that's the rule. There must be some, somewhere.

Fryatt has retired...... before he got a phone call from JF & his accountant.

Considering we have conceded at least one goal in each of our last 13 games and actually let in 25 goals, if that run was to continue then we would have to score at least 11 goals but more likely 18 goals in those 7 games and in that run of 13 games we have scored 5 goals. Some turnaround.

Well if the other teams keep dropping points a draw against Barnet and Chesterfield will be enough.
I would like to see us win a couple just so we don't go into next season on a 26 game winless streak .

Was thinking the same thing earlier. Just the 6 wins and a draw from the last 8 needed. Shoes how misguided their thinking is. It was obvious after the Morecambe game that we were in the deep brown stuff.

Looking in at our run the only way we can survive is by beating Stevenage, Chesterfield and Barnet. Based upon our current level we can't expect anything from Notts County, Cov, Swindon and FGR. We are in deep sh1t !

The odd thing is that this group of players were picking up points fine up until Xmas. Despite most games being poor to watch and us not threatening the play offs, we were steadily picking up points. Probably enough for mid-table nothingness.
We've only really lost Sam Jones out of players that we've used this season (Osborne, Clements, Asante etc were never involved anyway). So how have we regressed so much.
Look at the team that beat Swindon 3-2:
Macca Mills Clarke Collins Davies Dembele Rose Summerfield Jaiyesimi Matt Jones
That was a good game and a decent performance. All those players are still here apart from Jones.
