Reminds me of them weird runs we had under MJ

Lose 5 in a row, win 5 in a row
id probably say if Colchester & Southend fail to win more than a game each then 4 wins would see us safe out of the 5 left, its just winning them thats the problem


we've got to win 3 as a minimum....

If Colchester win I'd say, in all reality, it's over — even if Town win.

Obviously it's possible to overturn a seven-point gap inside four games, but you're really dependent on the other team not picking up another win.

I'd accepted relegation. Then we went and beat Bolton to raise my hopes, only for them to be dashed by Colchester later than night.

So I'm back to where I was. Just hope for another good performance tonight, restore a bit more pride and hope luck is on our side for once.

I think the nails have been going in for a number of weeks recently. It'll be the final nail (as good as) if that happens though.

Obviously got to take care of our own business but I think it's a Southend win that we need tonight too.

We win and Southend win then they're still a point above us but crucially we still have a game in hand over them.  It also puts us four points behind Colchester with a game in hand.

Games are so few and we've a lot of ground to make up.  The realism of it is that we need to be looking at a maximum points haul.  If we get that then we finish above Southend, it doesn't matter what they do.  Unfortunately we need Colchester to drop points to catch them.

The perfect scenario from tonight leaves us effectively need to make up 5 points on Colchester (thanks to our goal difference) with four games to go.  It feels almost unrealistic.   Equally so, we win tonight and Colchester lose.  We beat Oldham and Saturday and they lost to Cheltenham and we're right back in it.  That puts us a point behind (2 if we're factoring in goal difference) going into our game in hand away at Exeter.

It's all ifs and buts and lots and lots of hope.  But in the space of just a week we could either be out the bottom two or relegated.

It's sobering to think that if Colchester win their next 2 games and we lose we'll be relegated by 5 on Saturday.....

But I think that's unlikely!

If that happens I'll be anything but sober.
