Quoted from oldun
After yesterday Barnet fans do not think they will survive. Many seem resigned to the drop.


It doesn't matter what the fans think - they were better than us for large parts of the game yesterday and they know if they can get a win against Newport they could catch us if we slip up. Looking at us yesterday they will know we are more likely to lose all our remaining games than win any - as our record of 1 win in 22 games shows.

Next weekend is obviously crucial - a bad weekend for us could see them breathing down our necks with a better goal difference. It doesn't bear thinking about so I just hope we can get something from Swindon.

Some Barnet fans who were at the game seem to think it unlikely we will get any more points and looking at our record since MJ arrived we have only scored 2 goals in the 7 games from open play if you ignore the goal from a throw in against Port Vale and looking at the goals we conceded yesterday our defence is just as crap as it has been all season.

Newport won't be pushed over by Barnet, it is an easy win for Newport.

Then Barnet must beat Morecambe, even a draw wouldn't be enough.

Newport is a key game, I hope they can turn them over for us. Hopefully Podge is paying attention and get lots of love from the town on Twitter!

A Newport win would put us in a near home and dry scenario. Pray to the football Gods

None of us know what will happen and we are guessing, but I think our position is looking very difficult. Barnet have improved considerably at home and have 2 home games left, one against a Chesterfield team that may be already down.They have a goalscorer and could conceivably get 7 points. We need a win, but where is it coming from?

Both Town and Barnet are poor, but our record of one win in 22 games and their recent improvement means it could well go down to the last game. I have said for a couple of months I think we would fall into the bottom 2 on the last day, I am praying I am wrong but we are slowly edging that way.

If we could get a win at Swindon our troubles would be over but I just cannot see it. It is going to be a very very long week on the football front.

I can't disagree with any of that.

It'll be a rotten day at FGR if they send us down.

It's not out of the question (although probably unlikely) we could go into the last day of the season looking like this:

21 FGR 43
22 Grimsby 43
23 Barnet 40
24 Chesterfield 40

Presumably if that happened, we and FGR would have the sense to play out the stalest of 0-0 draws?

Gawd that would give the football league a headache. If that particular set of circumstances happened it would be very awkward.
