Haha - anybody know who Mansfield play this Saturday?

Macclesfield winning and Sutton losing in the National League.

If it stays the same I think that's Macclesfield promoted as Champions to League 2 tonight.

Come on shrimps!! Get in!!

Get in

Man City hit the post.....Liverpool hanging on.

Also means that chesterfield s goal difference is now worse than ours.would love Morecambe to get another couple as it would be the equivalent of us gaining another point on our Derbyshire chums

If I'm honest I think Chesterfield where gone before this game, it's Barnet im concerned about

I thought Chesterfield looked done after we beat them. That was a massive body blow for them.

Let's not get ahead of ourse!ves! I would be happy enough with not losing!

Man City robbed by the officials of a clear 2nd goal.......a furious Pep is sent to the stands.

Yeah I get what you mean, they could quite easily win their last 3 games especially of Morecombe are safe and Chesterfield are down.

Losing around 500K per year and one of the two lowest budgets in League Two.

Four goals for Andy Cook now from 2-0 down.

Yeovil equalise .scousers gets a second and Andy cook gets a 4th

Chesterfield level  2-2  

sodomist. Even when we're not playing following Town is hard work.

Damn it

Noooo!   andy kellett after 74

But Yeovil losing again

felicitations sake. Would've taken a draw before the game but even so. Fearing a Chesterfield winner now - hopefully Morecambe can do them on the break (I assume Chesterfield will be throwing everyone forward?)

Positive.......it keeps us in within touching distance of Morecambe.

intercourse morecambe

Barcelona losing 3-0, 4-4 on aggregate with Roma having an away goal.

a draw doesn't change much at all. As long as they don't win

It will give Chesterfield a bit of belief though, coming back from behind. I wanted them to take another hammer blow.

Roma now going through as it stands.Mansfield equailse.hope that improves their confidence for saturday!

Same but the belief they got from beating Notts County did not last long.

Quoted from Marinerdan

Barcelona losing 3-0, 4-4 on aggregate with Roma having an away goal.

Come on Roma......I want to see biters face if Barcelona lose.

Quoted from ginnywings

On the other hand though, you'd have thought they'd gain belief from beating Notts so convincingly - and yet they followed it up by losing to a 10 man Vale side that hadn't won for months!

Bloke called Ben Tomlinson scores a late winner for halifax.Barca out!!

Chesterfield have a habit of conceding late goals, so you never know......

City and Barca out. The bookies will be laughing.

Morecambe near miss

2-2 FT

Full time 2-2. Yeovil also get late equaliser

2-2 Chesterfield need snookers now

Think a draw is probably a good result for us. Keeps Chesterfield at a distance but also keeps Morecambe unsafe and keeps them looking over their shoulders

It was one of Chesterfields more winnable games so a draw isn't too bad a result. If it had been Morcambe coming back from 2-0 we'd all be cockahoop

Quoted from GrimRob

2-2 Chesterfield need snookers now

Not really. Two games in hand and a better goal diff. Two 1-0 wins would see them overtake us.

Let's hope Exeter don't have an off night next Tuesday.

A win against Barnet is an absolute must.

Quoted from GrimRob

2-2 Chesterfield need snookers now

We need snookers not them , they have the better goal difference

Quoted from forza ivano

Bloke called Ben Tomlinson scores a late winner for halifax.Barca out!!

When I first saw this I couldn’t decide whether the Shaymen had had a meteoric rise or Barca a catastrophic decline.

Not too surprising really. Morecambe are draw specialists, that being their 16th of the season. Yeovil look to have goalscorers, so they are safe i would think.

See what Saturday brings.

Looking at those possession stats, Morecambe look a really poor team so maybe not a terrible result.  

This was Chesterfields easiest game in hand and they haven't won - away at Exeter I think their hardest.  Mansfield game is hard to call with it being a local derby and Mansfields form of late has been terrible.

Still see Barnet as a must win - if we can do that and it hauls us above Morecambe it makes that result even better.

Regardless of tonight not a lots changed in reality it’s 2 from the 4 of us, Chesterfield, Barnet and VGR.

This underlines how important last Saturday’s win was. A win this Saturday is vital though.

I expect Chesterfield to get a result versus a declining Mansfield on Saturday but would be very surprised if they beat Wycombe and Exeter. That leaves them VGR and Barnet to play.

Port Vale and Morecambe not out of it yet either.

We will win on Saturday,

Port Vale will lose  to Lincoln,

Morecambe will lose to Carlisle,

We go to 44 pts and jump up 2 more places,

Relax all will be well.

Chesterfield kick off at 1 on Saturday. Them losing could be an ideal pre match boost (although the players really shouldn't need one!)

Quoted from ginnywings

You’d certainly like to think so!

And FGR will lose at Cheltenham,

Happy days

Are you for real? You think Chesterfield will win both their games in hand ?

Two goals to get a draw saves Jack`s job for now

Quoted from supertown

Are you for real? You think Chesterfield will win both their games in hand ?

But the expression 'meed snookers' means that mathematically the team need others to drop points. Technically speaking we need them to drop points, not the other way round.

I don't think saturday is shiite or bust.a draw means Barnet would have to win 2 out of their last 3 which is quite a big ask

FGR will lose Sat , Cheltenham want this v much
Would be good if Barnet lose too
Mathematically would have been best if Chesterfield would have lost tonight
But 3 points sat would be best
Come on Town!!

"Meed Snookers" wasn't he a full back for Vitesse Arnhem in the 70's?

Quoted from forza ivano

But that might leave Chesterfield breathing down our necks again should they beat an out of form Mansfield.

A win on Saturday basically puts Barnet to the sword, and maintains at least a 6 point gap over Chesterfield. It may also allow us to overtake either Port Vale or Morecombe, or both, and means we stay ahead of VGR.

I would say a win on Saturday is a real game changer for us.  Anything less and I would be very concerned.

If we win, we are less reliant on other scores. That's the crux of it and it virtually condemns Barnet, which is one less worry. We can't keep relying on other teams results. What you also have to factor in is other teams in trouble playing against each other. It could be to our advantage if Barnet are still in with a chance in their last game against Chesterfield. Thing is, there are so many scenarios, some results may be blessings in disguise, you just never know. Think 4 points for us may be enough.

What's the least points a team has stayed up in League 2 in recent seasons ?

Bearing in mind we are on 41 at the moment.

Indeed he was! Learnt to chain smoke with Johan Cruyff in the Ajax youth team.

Quoted from promotion plaice

What's the least points a team has stayed up in League 2 in recent seasons ?

When York and Dagenham went down, they both finished with 34 points, so 35 would have been enough. Bristol Rovers went down with 50 though.

Some seasons, we would already have enough points, some seasons nowhere near, hard to tell but i think 45 should do it.

For what it is worth (not a lot), I can confirm me and Mrs Teestogreen witnessed Morecambe and Chesterfield battling it out - boosting the attendance from 1040 to 1042.
Enjoyed the game, and there were players on both sides who caught the eye.
Morecambe - forward Callum Lang (apparently on loan from Wigan) and ? Wylde (on loan from Plymouth apparently) who came on as sub. - particularly tricky and direct winger.
Chesterfield - ? Kellett (he was excellent), another winger who kept on tricking his way past opponents and being tripped, and Christian Dennis - he improved when Chris O'Grady came on at half time to assist.

Both sides seemed to score goals against the run of play  - thus exposing the defence frailties of both teams I thought.

Anyway, Chesterfield have'nt given up, but on reflection only 2 points were dished out rather than 3 tonight, so it is still in Town's hands to survive in Division 2.

As has been said earlier in the thread, Carlisle will fancy their chances at Morecambe on Saturday, with an outside play offs opportunity.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

With Chesterfield having to play Barnet and FGR over the coming weeks, I think I'm right in saying that if we won all our remaining games we couldn't possibly finish in the bottom 2. (Someone cleverer than me will know this. And it's very early)

Saturday is a vital win day, with the long run of no wins now having been broken.

As Jolley has stated, a clean sheet is needed as this will make a possible win result easier to achieve.

We all hope that the win will give the team confidence and the home game with brilliant fan support should be the 12th man needed to get a win.

I can't make the game with other prearranged commitments but hope that 6000 others will be there so that the team get the vocal backing needed to inspire the players to give their best.

UTM - ONE MORE WIN ON SATURDAY !!

A win vs Barnet sends them down barring a miracle.

That may also be enough to send Chesterfield down as well.  If not, probably only needs one or two more points. 2 wins and are done.

I've spotted a little flaw in that plan.

If you were Barnet or Chesterfield, you'd obviously want to be where we are.

You'd take points on the board every time. We have to consider that Chesterfield could win both their games in hand but in reality they're a team that's won just 22.5% of their league games this season and they're averaging less than one point a game.

Same goes for Barnet really. A draw should be enough, realistically, to stay above them until the end of the season. They'd have to get 5 more points than us from the final 3 games, so they'd have to hope we lose all 3 (or lose 2 and draw 1) while they'd have to win 2 of their 3. Not impossible but very unlikely.

I agree with Jolley that 41 points won't be enough to stay up. At the end of the day we can't focus too much on what other teams are doing. We just have to look out for ourselves.

Get a win now, because if we don't the pressure and nerves will only intensify.

You could well be right. Other teams playing each other means some of them drop points, which is your 'snookers'.
