How did FGR manage to concede a Southend goal from the centre circle?  Otherwise 1-1 FT.


It was actually 3-1 in the end.

Personally I don't see Southend going down.

We need to close the gap to Colchester and Stevenage.

9 points adrift of Colchester, but I can't see FGR slipping up twice in a week. I would expect them to beat Colchester at the weekend. So a win for us would leave us 6 points adrift with a game in hand. Not impossible by any means. Stevenage are a point further away, but we do have 3 games in hand over them.  Again, not impossible to close that gap.

But all of this is pie in the sky unless we start winning consistently. We need to do what Scunts did. Win 4 on the bounce. Then the entire picture changes dramatically.

Sadly I have the same opinion, a win on Saturday may go someway to change my mind but even with last night's win I didn't think we played that well.


If we win on Saturday, I'd say any team that needs around a point or more per game to get to 50 points will be looking over their shoulder. That's nine teams including us right up to Scunny in 16th. Any team in the bottom half can easily have a horrendous run. Oldham and Port Vale, no win in three, Mansfield and Colchester no win in five and thirteen respectively..

Our "new" team that is just starting to get to know each other has won one lost one. That's 1.5 points per game. Replicating that would take us to 51 points..

Today

Bolton v Barrow
Southend v Salford

Can't see Barrow getting anything at in form Bolton, let's hope Salford turn up at Southend.



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Which one is the really Alliterative Derby?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Lets also keep an eye on

Newport v Stevenage
FGR v Colchester.

Let's hope Newport pull their heads out of their arses and prove they can beat someone other than us for a change.

FGR bottled it against Southend so need to get back to form against Colchester.

If results go our way today, given the games in hand situation, the maths might well change from  any 2 from 3, to any 2 from 5 to go down.  

Of course it all means intercourse all if we lose.

In February Southend won at both Newport and FGR and drew at Cambridge. They are on their way to safety and already show the kind of form and consistency that we are nowhere close to.

For me, Southend are not looking like they are going down. They have turned the corner.

Which leaves us and Barrow in the mire, and then a nine point gap for us to bridge to Colchester.

I just don't see it happening.

I had the same thought about the £180 million euro lottery, sadly I didn't win that either. I think they must have been about the same odds.

To get our predicament into perspective. We made Orient look like Barca, and Orient are 2 down in 15 minutes at Exeter!
