All tonight showed was how tight the league is and how anyone can beat anyone.
If we are still in this position with 9 games to go, then yeah, start to panic.

As I said Barrow not playing ( and not winning) is a small mercy.
What I did not see is Salford beating Cambridge ( who are top) 4-1. Salford are 20 points ahead of us with a game in hand and a vastly superior goal difference. How did they ever get so far ahead??

Said something similar in a post at the weekend. In reality there is nothing much between any of the teams in this league but the one factor we haven’t had all season is any confidence, get a couple of wins and things may change dramatically. On the other hand......... Still some hope but need those two wins in February.

Southend's win tonight put our dismal failure to dispatch Newport's 10 men on Saturday into perspective. Sorry, but I just don't see us turning this round. A few weeks ago we could have gone above Scunny by beating them. Weekend before last we could have gone above Stevenage by beating them. On Saturday. They are both now waiving at us from the back of car as it races away. We have had so many crunch games recently and haven't won any of them. I think we have used up our nine lives and must start beating decent teams now, lots of them. I don't see it happening.

Maybe the fact that we have 2 wins in the last 21 games has something to do with it?

I can guarantee with absolute certainty that you were saying the same thing when Jolley came in with 11 games left and no transfer window to change much. Save your sanity mate and just stay philosophical until it's mathematically certain one way or t'other.

We were not bottom or even in the drop zone with 11 games to go were we? We still had a small, though diminishing, points cushion. Today we are rock bottom, with no games in hand over anyone, and no goal diff advantage, and all of our rivals are in in better form than us. That is a very different scenario.

But we hadn't won a game for was it 23 or 24 matches or so? We couldn't bring in any new players and we had 8 less games to make a difference. Thing is, we see things differently, and we are not down until or unless it happens, which is a long way off yet.
