I think we will draw on Tuesday just to prolong the agony.

We never do anything the easy way.

For me the Exeter game us the hardest part of the whole jigsaw, frankly I'd be amazed, but if we can do Exter then we have a glimmer.

The permutations are now at least pretty clear with the games running down. Short of one of Colchester or Scunny taking an improbable battering, we have to win our last three games.

Achieving that would mean we surpass Southend as a minimum. So what of Col U, Scunny and Barrow if we were to take an unlikely 9 from 9?

Colchester play Salford (8’) at home and Tranmere (5) in their last two games, and would require a minimum of 2 points to stay up.

Scunny play Newport (7) and Bradford (14) away before playing Stevenage (15) at home on final day. Two draws will do for them, though their form is wretched and they have taken 1 point from their last 7 games and are rooted to the bottom of the form guide. Granted, I’d swap places with them right now, but not a position you’d want to be in for a League Two run-in.

Barrow meanwhile play Forest Green (6) away, a desperate Southend (23) at home and Exeter (9) away on the final day. They would need a solitary win or three draws to guarantee their survival.

So that’s the gist of it. We have to win our last three - improbable as that is. But I think, looking at what lies in front of our rivals, it’s more probable that we stay up IF we do that than go down. At least one of those three will falter.

The pressure isn’t on us. We have nothing to lose - we have to use that.

We’re not dead yet.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

You're right, Pete, we'll find  way to prolong the agony.

Did it again with a couple of tweaks. Whatever happens it'll be a tight finish, whether that's Southend and Co or us aswell. That final relegation spot could be any one of 4.

For me it just comes down to knowing that we can’t rely on anyone at all to do us any kind of favour. Putting faith in the likes of Newport or Walsall or Bradford just isn’t for me anymore.

I drove myself crazy in 2017 trying to juggle all the permutations concerning us, Barnet, Chesterfield and others when Jolley kept us up.

This time I think it’s best just to take one game at a time and see where it leads.

Defeat on Tuesday means it is effectively over whatever happens in all of the other fixtures.

All we can do is throw everything we can at Exeter on Tuesday and not repeat last tuesday night
Win the game and we live until Sat and have an interest in the
Barrow v Southend fixture
Biggest Game for a few years Tuesday night
Really only a win keeps us alive
Come on Town!!

Just can't see it myself. Firstly, we would be having to win 4 games on the trot, which seems an impossibility to me given our struggles this season. We would then have to rely on one of the other three imploding.

The second part may happen, but the first.....
