Today's result means we are yet to lose to any of the teams below us. If you extend that to the two teams above us, then we've only lost to Morecambe. That is surely something to inspire confidence going into the Barnet game. Clearly we're not the best, but I believe our work ethic is enough to get points from both the Barnet and forest green games which should be enough.

I'll be following that.on sky. Morecombe wont want to get sucked back into the relegation battle so they should be up for it.

Dare I say although we shouldn't take our foot off the gas a point at home v Barnet should be enough..

I know they have games in hand, but I can't see Yeovil getting many more points. Swindon, Wycombe, Accrington. Notts County, Mansfield, Lincoln, perhaps FGR.

They scored 6 at Coventry last week. Doubt they will get dragged in with that sort of firepower. They had 2 sent off today, so were never in with a chance. There are enough other clubs in the mire for us to escape. We just need to keep the others at arms length and there are a lot of the bottom clubs playing each other which will have a big bearing. We are also getting to the stage where some sides won't have anything to play for, so there will be some strange results. I hope County are in the play offs, but out of the automatic spots when we play them as they will probably rest players.

When you look at the number of bottom end teams playing each other at the bottom end of the season it seems remarkable. Scripted almost.

Rob'll probable point out now that it's not statistically remarkable at all

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

When teams play each other it invariably means you don't need as many points as you think to stay up because they can't all win.

I've looked at this in depth and a draw at home to Barnet will keep them at arm's length. With three games to go they'd have to win two more than us.

Obviously we can help ourselves by winning that game! If we do, that should be enough - we'd be eight points clear with nine to play for.

Not mathematically certain but even if they did overtake us there's Forest Green to factor in.
