Salford V Barrow

Just stop fighting it...accept we are going down based on all known current indicators. Accept it now and if by any miracle we do survive it will be a cheery unexpected bonus.

Looks like Stevenage are beyond reach. 11 points ahead. We do have two games in hand, but at the rate they are picking up points it's looking like too big a gulf even if we hit pretty good form.

So realistically t looks very much like two from the bottom three now. Barrow just one game in hand, so we really need to beat them in the rearranged game and then it's game on.

I think we need to focus more on Southend and Barrow as Stevenage has looked out of our reach for a few weeks now.

Quoted from Hagrid

Crawley miss penalty. We’re cursed

Its not a proper curse.....if it had been it would have been Tilley or Hessentahler who missed it  

Shed loads of points left to play for

Ourselves first

You're right. It's the hope that kills you.

Remember the wins leading up to Burton when all had looked lost. But suddenly there was a glimmer, only to be slammed in our faces.

Bit more hopeful, I think.

Win against Barrow and we go above them and Southend (to win means we'd have a better goal difference than Southend) then equal Southend's results, along with one win more than Barrow over the rest of the season, and we are the best of the three. Not that hard...

I clearly dont want us to go down.... but as i am convinced we are then i almost just wish it would be sooner rather than later. The NL situation wont be resolved that quick either, i can see that rumbling on far beyond their vote result , again that could well be another thing dragging the pain out ,  even if we do finish rock bottom and look doomed.

There is one thing I'd like to point out, without wishing to give false hope.

Occasionally a team in the bottom third has a disastrous end of season run in. I remember the season after we went down, a Lincoln fan posting here and gloating that after 36 games the Gimps had 46 points and so were safe.  If memory serves they lost 9 of their last ten games and got relegated with 47 points.

So it does happen, and it could happen to any of the teams in the bottom eight. So there is hope that another team might end up in the relegation mix.

The other way of looking at this is to say we need to win 9 games and pick up a couple of draws. With 50 points it is very unlikely that we would go down.

All is not lost yet, but the turnaround needs to happen bloody soon.
