It’s a bit OTT. We are 7th with 2 games to go and a 3 point lead.
Bigger picture than just tonight.
Nothing to see here!I stayed off here as long as possible predicting it would be like Facebook after the favourite off X Factor has been voted off... I came back too soon.

We will need about 6 or 7 vs Morecambe if we lose on Saturday and mansfiekd win.If we go 1-0 down against Morecambe when we need a 3 goal win or something are people going to just say it's all in our hands?

IF Mansfield went on to win their last game too.We will need about 6 or 7 vs Morecambe if we lose on Saturday and mansfiekd win.
In the grand scheme of getting into the playoffs we could afford to lose and it doesn't make a giant difference if we do what's needed for the next two games, but I really think in order to take on the playoffs we'd need to have some momentum behind us and our defence waiting until the season was 90% done before remembering we're Coventry City and reverting to clown college type doesn't fill me with confidence.

If you are letting in 6 goals in a home game and then 4 goals in a home game there is clearly something very wrong.

If we cock this up now the manager and players deserve every single bit of flak flying their way.
We had 3 games to simply win 1 and draw 1.
There will be a lot of vitriol if we now do not achieve that.
I do worry about Eisa on Saturday. He was a player we couldn't contain here at the Ricoh.
Fact is if we hadnt strolled about the park pathetically passing it backwards for 45 mins 2nd half vs Stevenage vs 10 men against a team with nothing to play for we eouldnt be in this mess. Good teams dont waste 45 mins of football when the other team is on the mat.
How many goals we scored after 86 mins.That's why teams like Lincoln will do well. Wycombe score shit loads of last minute winners.
Luton last minute equaliser against us.
They haven't imploded and are still in with a good chance as all the pressure is on us now.We needed a draw at the very least last night. I think our players especially Burge and a few others can't cope with pressure the last two games are going to be very difficult.Don't despair. 2 draws from the last 2 games will be enough. Mansfield have imploded.
Yesterdays result will be huge boost to them. Add thst the goal difference. They have a glimmer of hope and we have given it to them.They haven't imploded and are still in with a good chance as all the pressure is on us now.We needed a draw at the very least last night.

I think Yeovil may do okay against Mansfield on Saturday. Last night they confirmed their safety and now they will be playing with some freedom. I know they haven't won since they beat us, but they look a decent outfit going forwards and Mansfield HAVE to win, which should allow Yeovil a bit of space.Mansfield will beat Yeovil Saturday and we will lose Saturday it's life as a cov fan unfortunately and if we blow it now it will be tough for me to motivate myself for next season.

I can well see a draw or even a Yeovil win there, so even if we lose we might well still be 2 or 3 points clear.
They were very fast on the break against us, so they may well give Mansfield some problems I feel.The Yeovil performance at the Ricoh was a one off freak - they are not very good. We would be unwise to count on them doing us any favours against Mansfield. We have to at least draw against Cheltenham so come the last game it is in our hands either way.
We have been bullied by physical teams all season, but if we can't take 4 points from two teams in the bottom half of the table with nothing to play for, we don't deserve to be in the playoffs. Saturday will tell us everything. If we want it badly enough, and if we are good enough to have a chance of winning the playoffs we will take something from the game. There is no point as far as I can see, in qualifying by the default of Mansfield. 2 games against lower table opposition, 4 points required. Simple!! Forget last night.
Yes, Yeovil and last night's result was a bit of an eye opener, for me anyway. But I could see similarities between the two games, and how the opposition were set up, and how they approached the game, getting in our faces and coming at us early. Need to learn from this IMOI don't disagree with your analysis but we tried to forget Yeovil, and we're running out of games to forget
We only have to worry about winning our next game . If we do then it doesn't matter what Mansfield do. Even if they win it's one game less and they are running our of matches. If both teams win it will be the Mansfield players who will be more keen to see how we did rather than the other way round.Mansfield don't have to win on Saturday. If the worst was to happen with our goal difference they only need 3 points over 2 games. Morecambe isn't a forgone conclusion they tore us to pieces up there when they were the lowest scorers in the league at the time and hasn't taken a point for weeks. We as fans and a team need to be positive, focus on our strengths so irrespective of what Mansfield do we take it out of their hands. Another positive Lincoln are at AC on Saturday. AC can win the league in front of their own fans so Lincoln losing and us winning puts them under pressure on the 5th as well.
