LEAGUE TABLE

Pos                      Pl   GD   Pts
20   Colchester United   44   -18   47
21   Scunthorpe United   43   -18   47
22   Barrow              43    -7   46

REMAINING FIXTURES

Colchester United     (DDLWWL)

Sat 1st May      SALFORD CITY (H)             8th     WWLDWW
Sat 8th May      Tranmere Rovers (A)          5th     DDLDWW

2 extremely tough looking games against clubs chasing play-off places.

Scunthorpe United     (DLDLLL)

Tue 27th Apr     Newport County (A)           7th     WDDLWD
Sat 1st May      Bradford City (A)           14th     DWLLLL
Sat 8th May      STEVENAGE (H)               15th     WDLLLW

In poor form but final 2 matches against lower mid-table sides in poor form recently.

Barrow                (DDWLLL)
Tue 27th Apr     Forest Green Rovers (A)      6th     LLLWDD
Sat 1st May      SOUTHEND UNITED (H)         23rd     LDDDLW
Sat 8th May      Exeter City (A)              9th     DWLDDD

2 tough away matches sandwiching a potentially crucial game against Southend.

Southend United       (LDDDLW)
Sat 1st May      Barrow (A)                  22nd     DDWLLL
Sat 8th May      NEWPORT COUNTY (H)           7th     WDDLWD

Can realistically only catch Barrow & will be all but down if they get a point on Tuesday.

Grimsby Town          (DDLWLW)
Tue 27th Apr     Exeter City (A)              9th     DWLDDD
Sat 1st May      PORT VALE (H)               12th     WWWDWW
Sat 8th May      Cambridge United (A)         2nd     WDLWWL

Looks daunting but we have a good record at Exeter, Port Vale will probably be out of play-off race by next Saturday & Cambridge should be safely promoted before the final day. Obviously we need to win all 3 of our remaining games and hope that Colchester or Scunthorpe get no more than 1 point or Barrow get no more than 2 points from their remaining games.

Personally I think Colchester look the most promising for failing to reach 49 points. Scunthorpe have the kindest run in & are likely to get over the line. Barrow should scrape enough points to get out of our reach. Southend are irrelevant because we have to win our 3 remaining games & that will see us finish above them whatever they do in their final 2 matches.

2 wins and a draw should be enough if Barrow lose their remaining games.

Unfortunately, we have to rely upon the results of others.

Hopefully - the anger at having to travel down to Exeter again will fire the players and management team up.

All we can do at this point is focus on throwing everything we can to win our remaining games as relying on other results is too big a gamble. The more we win the more we pile the pressure on Barrow and Scunny who have both been on a poor run of form. We have nothing to lose at this point and remaining games against Exeter and Cambridge will be tough but the pressure is more on them at the top end of the table than us in the relegation zone where expectations are high to reach playoffs and automatic promotion spots. We know ourselves how a team can have a bad run late in the season and screw up automatic promotion because of pressure of expectation.

We’re down, we know that but at least we could try and stop it.

We’ve had chances, we could’ve buried games but our inability to score goals is what will send us down, that and an incompetent owner and a ducking carrot crunching idiot as manager.

The chance of us winning three games is slim, just look at midweek, dominate against Bolton, fall apart against Morecambe, that’s why we’re down here.

But, we are town fans and we love our club so we believe and a win on a Saturday is a delight...

The points lost at Carlisle and at home to Stevenage look, as they did at the time, crucial.

Sadly this it will be all over on Tuesday I suspect, quite happily be proved wrong though.
