Good to see that Exeter won tonight without bringing on their 2 remaining subs near the end. Pleased that they could beat Chesterfield with something to spare.

At this rate I am not sure Chesterfield will even reach our current total of 42 points. They need two wins and a draw from their last four games, which is quite an ask.
What worries though is that they might already be down when they play Barnet, so will be an easy three points for Barnet.
I think we need to win one of our remaining games. It's us or Barnet to go down with Chesterfield. The failure to beat them on Saturday might well be what sends us down.

Could work the total opposite, no pressure on Chesterfield

It's in our own court, so just win a game that's all it takes

Even if Barnet win on Saturday and we lose, we’re still 2 points ahead of them. We’re in the driving seat, it’s in our hands. For some reason I fancy us to beat Notts County in front of a packed BP and I can see us getting at least a point at FGR.

The combination of the team that we beat to come up and the team that sent us down last time is ominous - we don't want to need anything on the last day... ...but I fear we will...

Even if Chesterfield are down by the time they play Barnet surely they'll want to end the season on somewhat of a high for their fans?

Hopefully we'll be safe by then but a scenario that could occur would be us and FGR going into the last game of the season BOTH needing a point to be safe.
Cue a nice boring 0-0 draw if that should be the case.

Chesterfields games: Wycombe & Newport H FGR & Barnet A
Unless they have a sudden turn around from what I saw at BP a couple weeks ago i think they are down and will struggle to reach 42 points.
Barnet are the worry for me. Yes they are 5 points behind us with 3 games left so Town are in a decent position it seems. But then I saw their remaining games:
Newport & Chesterfield H and Morecambe A
I can see them getting a couple of good results . Win all 3 ? unlikely but 5 or 6 pts if possible meaning Town need more points. I thought they were poor 1st half at BP but Allen made some changes and they looked up for the fight after the break.
A win for Town will probably be enough but I dont see us getting one. Our away form is atrocious at the moment ....almost a bang on home win. Dont fancy us at Swindon and our record in Gloucestershire is poor. If we need a result on the last day i wouldnt be overly optimistic. Leaves Notts at home. We have shown a bit of backbone in recent home games but I just feel we lack the goal threat to get 3 points.
Thinking we will have to rely on Barnet (and Chesterfield) to intercourse up tbh. Then a massive Summer clearout.
