Not sure why people are so down on our chances of getting points compared to how they think Barnet will fare. Notts County are such a good team that they lost 3-1 to the only side we've managed to beat since December and looked absolutely dreadful in that game. If they're out of the automatic picture by then and rest players, we could potentially get a result.

And Swindon are the team in worst form in the division. They're only seven points ahead of Newport having played two games more and are in much worse form, yet people are seemingly of the opinion that we've no chance of getting anything against them whilst a home win for Barnet against Newport is a foregone conclusion.

Both us and Barnet are rubbish teams which is why we're in the positions we are in. Barnet have won less than one game out of every four so I'd say it's highly unlikely they'll win all three of their remaining fixtures and even reasonably unlikely that they'll win two of their last three. If we can get two points, which is not impossible, then I think we'll be safe.

Prior to the Barnet game, I thought that we needed three points to stay up (just as long as we didn’t lose that match). I still think that 2 points from the remaining three matches will get us over the line.

Take a point away at Swindon every day of the week.

Notts County at home... We can win that.

When it comes to the end of the season, and teams are fighting, results become very unpredictable, and next Saturday will look either very scary, or a lot more positive

We've already got 4 points off Swindon and Notts Co - when Russell Slade was managing us too. Has to be a good chance of at least one more with someone competent at the helm!

Newport are more than capable of beating Barnet, and if they do it's almost over for them.

Two more points may just be enough for us.

Three big ifs, but if we win on Saturday and Barnet and Chesterfield lose we are safe. Much rather be in our shoes.

As it stands we need 6pts if Barnet and Chesterfield win their remaining games to say up (not risking goal difference)......

So if Barnet & Chesterfield win on Saturday and we lose we will still need 6pts from 2 games
If Barnet lose & Chesterfield Win and we lose we will still need 6pts from 2 games.
If Barnet  win & Chesterfield lose and we lose we will need 5pts from two games (so 2 wins)
If Barnet & Chesterfield both lose and we lose we will need 3pts from two games                  
If Barnet & Chesterfield win on Saturday and we win we will need 3pts from 2 games
If Barnet lose & Chesterfield Win and we win we will need 3pts from 2 games.
If Barnet  win & Chesterfield lose and we win we will need 2pts from two games
If Barnet & Chesterfield both lose and we win we are safe.

I think we're going to draw on Saturday so where does that leave us?
