The God of Football offers you a point against Notts County. Do you stick or twist?

I think I'd take the point as it means (worst case) we'd only need a draw against VGR,

I would settle for a point ...... as long as Barnet had to do the same.

I would rather go to FGR needing a draw than a win,

So yes I would be happy with a draw,

BUT

Got a feeling Morecombe will beat Barnet.

I'd also stick. Worst case scenario at the, er, Morecambe ground, it would put us ahead of them going into the last game.

On the other hand, I'd happily lose 6-0 tomorrow if Barnet don't win.

This is one of those games were all eyes will be on what happens in the other game, as it will sweep across the stadium if there is a goal at Morecambe.

I know people will say lets take care of our game, but it is human nature. In answer to the question yes I would take a draw; Notts are a decent side that have found a bit of form and desperately need to win themselves so a draw would make the last game slightly easier if the other result goes against us. I hope it gets settled tomorrow as I don't want my miserable prediction of dropping into the bottom 2 on the final day to see the light of day.I have had a bad feeling about this season since it all started to go wrong but I know that is balanced out with posters who are confident we will be safe and I hope, pray that they are right.

i would 100% take a point now. Notts Co are in great form and while we've improved lately we still find it extremely difficult to create any chances. I think we've got a massive task on to even avoid defeat.

Also, a point means that Morecambe would need something at Coventry next week (assuming Barnet beat them) for us to even need that extra point at FGR.

I've had the same feeling for ages, that we would drop into the bottom two sometime during the last game and FGR to relegate us. It could even be in the final minute, as it was for Hartlepool last season. Praying Morecambe do the business for us.

Could be one of those weird days tomorrow where we lose but end up celebrating thanks to Morecambe whilst Notts Co leave feeling pretty miserable as Wycombe and Exeter have both won.
