Looking at the fixtures i cannot see us winning a game this season. I think we might scrap a few draws maybe 5 or 6 is that enough to keep us up it’s going to be close.

All we have to do is match, or beat FGR & Sutton results. Anything less and we're in deep sh!t.

Which might be quite difficult considering we have to play them both!

It’s actually a good thing because it’s in our hands. Beat them and it means they need to get nine points more than us in the run in, which is not going to be easy given their ppg so far.

I see us beating FGR , god knows how , I just do.
Artell has finally realised he is in a relegation fight and his words were 15 cup finals , draw Saturday & win the next home game.

I am not that confident and agree with some of the things you say (the Day Cup money thing I didn't , it was a bit daft yet amusing ) but even by our standards to do that would take some going . Artell did manage a stretch similiar at Crewe , but FGR & Sutton can't win a game so I'm expecting at least 1 there on the balance of probability . 5 or 6 draws wouldn't be enough 38 + might be if those 2 below us keep going the way they are . I think it will be a record low points total this within regular seasons and barrimg seasons when teams got deducted points . It would be some (bad) achievement to manage relegation from where we are atm.

Totally agree 6 points max I'm thinking.

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD |

This club won’t get relegated I’m hopeful for Saturday and putting my house on beating FGR.
Anyone with an empty caravan in cleethorpes can you do me a cheap deal for next 12 months?

Is Walsall thrashing Morecambe good or bad news for us?

Town wont go down. they are six + seven points clear with 1 + 2 games in hand and a superior goal difference. Colchester are only 1 point above us and have played a game more so they will be looking over their shoulder. If we get 2 wins and the odd draw we will be safe especially if we beat the bottom 2. We all know we are basically shite but the other teams are even shitier and I can't see them showing enough improvement to be able to overtake us.

Fair point, nothing in our form suggests our goal difference will get worse.

There are 15 games to go. There are 2 teams below us with 13 and 14 games left. Many of those will be against teams with nothing to play for. Teams at the bottom nearly always do better in the run-in because they are more motivated and probably on big win bonuses as well. They are both likely to get anywhere between 10 and 20 points. Remember we have to better both of them, or one of them and Colchester. We need at a very minimum another 10 points, 15 to be comfortable. That's 3, 4 or 5 wins and a few draws. We're bottom of the form table. We're beyond crap at home and have won once away all season. We even drew (just) at Slough. It's definitely squeaky bum time.

Forest Green beat barrow away and drew away at Colchester before their most recent defeat .4 points from 9 beats our 1 from 18

When you are bottom of a league table ( form ) the only way is up. Positive and optimistic me says a win on Saturday.
