Let's all be honest here -  nobody expected us to get anything from Lincoln or Coventry away. The real test, and the on that will ultimately save or condemn us is the home games vs Stevenage, Chesterfield, & and Barnet and the away fixture at Forest Green. Those are the important games and ones we HAVE to gain points from. If we do that then we'll be playing league football next season.

Despite the last couple of results, which I actually think have flattered the opposition somewhat, I've seen enough from MJ to think he can get the couple of wins that are needed. Take Lincoln and Coventry games, we played well in spells and were undone by errors bourne out of a lack of confidence IMO. Call it rose tinted specs, and call it blind optimism, call it what you will but I still genuinly believe there is enough quality in this squad to beat the teams mentioned above.

This HAS to start against a confidence-depleted and out-of-form Stevenage side on Good Friday. IF we can get that first win, I think that will be the start of a more positive future under Michael Jolley.

It's the hope that kills you as they say but that's all we have left!

As was I Rodley!

So do we just roll over and give up with 7 games and 21 points to play for?

No I agree with you. The 'we're already down' stuff is bullshit. We're still 6 points clear even if Chesterfield have games in hand. We can absolutely still stay up but we need to find something fast before next Friday.

If Chesterfield lose tomorrow we're not much worse off than a couple of games ago. Our fate is more or less in our own hands still. Two wins at BP might well be enough, three hopefully will be .

A goal feels like a big ask at the moment.

If Chesterfield win their 2 games in hand we have real problems

Unfortunately,  I have a really strong gut feeling that Chesterfield will win tomorrow.

My calculations, even if Chesterfield win all 3 games (very doubtful), if we beat them at BP then we will only be separated by goal difference. However unbelievable,  given our run, it IS still in our hands and will all come down to 3 or 4 cup final against teams in the bottom 6

We CAN do this!
