Quoted from Mappers
The team need to keep calm and play with the same desire as against Bradford .

I don't think it's win or bust yet myself but a case of keeping the points ticking over - for me 2 or 3 points from the next 2 would be satisfactory anything else is a bonus - we have a decent shot of a draw at Harrogate you would have thought  . We would then only need 1 win and a draw maximum probably from 4 .


I think you're a bit optimistic about Harrogate; right now they're 4 points off the play offs and will be thinking they'll have a chance. If they win at the weekend they will probably view us as a good opportunity to keep the impetus going. If they get beaten at the weekend they may view the world differently.

Our best chance for points is Newport on Saturday: pretty much guaranteed a mid table finish, inconsistent generally and particularly inconsistent away from home.


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

Swindon are pretty poor, and now have nothing to play for. Getting 3 points from that game probably means that 3 from our other 5 games might well be enough given FGR and Suttons remaining fixtures.  So a win on Saturday will really put us in a strong position.

The problem is that based on the last couple of games, we are the team on poor form and we do not win many. We are stubborn but we need to win games. Do we try and hang on for grim death or go for it. Difficult to know, but the points will be a lot easier to get in the next couple of games before the huge pressure ratchets up.

Not sure how much weight the form table holds at this stage of the season, too many teams on the beach early and then you add the Bank Holiday double to the mix which always throws up odd results.

Oldest cliché in the book but it's one game at a time.  We beat Newport and we've done our bit for the day.  Hopefully Stockport, MK Dons and Wrexham do us a favour at this time.

On paper alone though this is a huge opportunity.  Our 3 relegation rivals (can't believe I'm saying that, again) playing three of the top four as we entertain a side out of form and with little to play for other than pride.

Looking at the games that each of the bottom 4 play tomorrow, would a point be a bad result? We have, on paper the easiest of games but I wouldn’t be expecting any team just to go through the motions if they’ve nothing to play for.

How many times has anyone been to a ‘dead rubber’ of a game but still wanting town to win? I’d say it’d be 100% of them. Players will no doubt be putting a shift in If out of contract and then there’s win bonus’, clean sheet bonus’ and just out of respect, wanting to win for those supporters that have travelled to watch their team play.

I don't think there's a conscious decision from most players, it's just natural that when the pressure is off, the intensity drops a bit. But some teams thrive in those circumstances. Last season we had a good end to the season when the pressure was off. Might explain a bit about this season... the exact opposite of mentality monsters

The fans have done their bit all season , it’s time for the team to show us what they’re made of now


They have showed us what they are made of already ....league tables don't lie this late into a season.

Bradford display hardly inspires confidence. I literally could not sleep last night thinking about this game and the potential outcome.

Add into it that DA must be massively distracted and he wasn't being much use when he was fully focused either.

This could be a reckoning

Erased this game from the mind until now . Now thinking it could easily be our season defining game and wish I had blanked it for a few hours longer.
