This is one very bitter pill to swallow.

In saying that, I refuse to wave the white flag until it is mathematically impossible.

Colchester and Barrow play each other next, who do we want to win?

Seems like a Barrow win is the best result as Colchester are in freefall and look like the team to catch (not to mention Southend)

Barrow win easy. We've a game in hand over Colchester where as Barrow have one over us and Colchester are the closer club points wise

Barrow to win cos Colchester on a really bad run.

We might be able to catch Colchester but doubt we could Barrow.

That just leaves us getting above Southend which we was until that late goal went in.

Not quite yet. Win Monday and a Barrow win will leave us 4 points behind Colchester with a game in hand. However, if we don't win or colchester do, it'll be 100% over.

If we win and Colchester lose, it's all to play for.

You never know, but it's looking unlikely.

We’d have beaten Colchester on any other day, we’ve beaten and drew to a lot better than them. They’ll be in the mix right down to the wire.

Our failure to beat Colchester, Southend and Walsall are what is ultimately going to cost us. Not taking chances hasn't helped.

Daft question, mathematically a draw is best. Obviously you want 2 of your opponents to get 2 points between them rather than 3 points between them.

No, Colchester have played 2 more games than Barrow. And add the fact that Barrow have won 5 of their last 7 matches & Colchester have won 1 out of their last 23 league matches.

If we stay up realistically it will be the 2 Essex clubs we finish above.

A very good point away at the form team Bolton today, plus a new team coach as well as ex Exeter manager Paul Tisdale being brought in.

Colchester are at home on Monday so they will all be driving to the match rather than travelling on their new team coach.

Oh and that's Paul Tisdale who after a good 1st season at MK Dons has done absolutely nothing and been sacked twice.

I think we have a very good chance of catching Colchester IF we can turn these draws into wins.

Cheltenham is a winnable game. Their form is hugely inconsistent. Their last 7 matches...

You should be on the stage that was so funny.

A bit like Paul Hurst then.

Funny how things turn out. We drew with Colchester and beat Barrow. As it transpires, we would have been better off drawing with Barrow and beating Colchester. Same  amount of points but its Colchester we are now targeting. Barrow are too consistent for us to catch them now. It's fine margins. Barrow have won 5 of last 7, we have won 1 and drawn 6. The difference being that they have a regular scorer in Quigley. They are no better than us apart from that crucial area and shows the value of a goalscorer.

I think Colchester would be a bigger threat than Barrow in the National League next season, so I would prefer Barrow to get relegated with us.

I've been flagging up Colchester for months and they just keep on dropping. If they carry on in the same vein, we can catch them. Over the last 6 games, we have taken 8 points to their 4. We also have a game in hand.

With a little bit of luck, we would have already caught them.

I really hope we can catch them as they are in free fall so it’s possible hope barrow beat them on Monday ideal senario .

If we go down it’s most likely to be with Southend.

Barrow aren’t going down, no chance. It’s Town v Southend v Colchester. UTM.

Crazy really because I thought strikers ‘weren’t signed to score goals’. And ones that do score goals don’t exist at this level.

Hurst clearly hates goals and deliberately didn't sign any of the multitude of available goalscoring strikers in January because he's trying to get one over on us all, or something.

Oh, could you please name those multitude of available strikers that were available in January?  And also could you please tell us if they would have liked to come to play for Grimsby?.

I fear Colchester will 'draw' their way out of trouble. Too late for us I think, particularly with the tough games we have left having to play the top 3
