2 dropped points definitely. If you can't score you can't win. Wycombe will tw@t us and our best hope, it seems, is to try to fluke 0-0 draws with Chesterfield, Barnet and Notts County. Unlikely.
We are gone....

i genuinely believe this team will stay up just on the pure fact that we have 2 or 3 big characters in the team that will drag the rest through i.e. Macca, Collins summerfield. That paired with the amazing support and I really think jolley is starting to get a tune out the lads there playing some decent football and look a lot more confident. What needs to happen off the pitch at the minute is secondary to the fact we need to get behind the lads and we CAN make the difference. Bar 1 or 2 bad apples these boys are giving us everything and we need to give them the same.

Sadly having "2 or 3 big characters" will be nowhere near enough to save us. Nor will fantastic support. Both Barnet and Chesterfield have goalscorers and we have not, and both are slowly  but steadily catching us as the weeks go by.

Anything could happen in football but there is very little factual evidence that we will survive.The only thing that will save us is what happens on the pitch - what happens in the stands is largely irrelevant. I don't even think the "boys are giving us everything" as the strikers can't even be arsed to get into the box when a cross comes in.

You may be super positive and I may be super negative, and we both hope against hope we can do it, but personally I think we have had it purely on the fact that we cannot score. To go 19 games without a win in any division means relegation is extremely likely.

I respect your opinion but mine is the fact that I think we have a manager and team, fans that are all pulling in the same direction. We have enough quality at the back (mills,fox,Collins) and enough quality in the middle (summerfield,dembele,McAllister) to scrape through. What else have we got to cling on to? Doom and gloom will help no one if we do go down I will still be there to take my son and support the boys whatever league were in because you can't pick and choose who u follow

Trying to stay positive but we will not stay up if we don't score and that looks beyond our capabilities.

Before this game, it was vital to beat Barnet and Chesterfield.  That remains the case.


I disagree. I would say it is vital to not lose to them. Obvs it would be great to win but let's not kid ourselves. I expect them both to beat us, as i expected Stevenage to do the same. Sad to say that i was pleased as punch to get a point.

I think today is the day that will give us more of an incite.. If we can stay atleast 4 points clear of Barnet and Chesterfield by 5pm then I'll feel more confident... Anything less then I think we are in serious danger.

I believe we will go down as we DON'T have characters in the team. Lack of leadership through the spine especially, criminal recruitment from Slade, an absolute mess. That's just from watching, maybe unfair as I don't know any of the current players personally.

Still a good idea to release Shaun Pearson?

Definitely should not have released Pearson but I think players like Collins summerfield mills Macca won't just lay down and let us slip into non league with a whimper. I know we can't score for toffee but at some point them runs from dembele, a corner on the head of Collins, something surely will go our way. I thought we looked fairly solid Saturday and created chances. Maybe it's just blind optimism but I seriously feel that our luck will change
