That Lincoln goal is not such a bad thing. It means Tuesday is no longer a must win for them and a draw is now also a perfectly decent result for them too and would put both teams 4 points clear of Mansfield with 2 to play.

Well its not make or break on Tuesday but lets not do it the hard way for a change. A win and we're pretty much there.

Don't want to be having last day of the season where we need a result for the play offs and they need a result to stay up.

Mansfield spent enough time in our matches crying for fouls, they wouldn't need much encouragement! But don't be surprised when we're winning 1-0 in the 85th minute and Ryan Haynes is asked to man mark Rhead from a corner.

By my reckoning we need just 1 win and a draw from our last 3 games.

Mansfield can only get to 74 points. We are on 71.

Draw and a win will give us 75 points. We can surely win 1 and draw 1 of our last 3 matches can't we?

You wouldn’t bank on Mansfield winning one more game let alone two, they will drop pts again.

Bloody Beeb.

They just said they are NOT relegated.
To quote the BBC:

Sunderland are relegated
FT: Sunderland 1-2 Burton

To confirm, Sunderland are going down for a second consecutive season.

They're six points from safety, with two games to go, but because Burton and Bolton will play each other next weekend, the Black Cats cannot mathematically survive, even if they win both of their remaining games.

Exactly. But even if they win both, we only need 1 win, 1 draw and that's out of 3 games.


We are almost there!!

We are indeed - they are away at Yeovil next week so not particularly easy. I think Tues draw and settled next Sat.

We should be able to.

But we're Coventry City. We specialise in making things hard!

Looking mighty fine.

3 games left, just 4 points needed.

Blow this and we don't deserve the place.

Almost time to think about who we will be up against post regular season.
