Yep. You would have thought that the win yesterday would have pulled us clear. Unfortunately though, all the bottom teams were playing each other, so points were being picked up elsewhere.
Think Tuesday is still very important. We don't want to lose that one with Bristol City away coming up next Saturday.
It's important in the respect that a win will all but guarantee safety, if we lose we need to win one of Crewe/Crewley matches
Don' think we can underestimate the demoralising effect some of tonight's results will have had upon our relegation rivals.
Colchester lost 6-0. Crawley lost 5-0 Also Orient lost 1-0 at home.
Those first 2 results especially must be so soul destroying and hard to bounce back from for those sides.
I think we're safe now. We could probably lose our remaining games and still stay up.
Bookies now have us 16/1 to be relegated.

There's no way we are going down. I reckon we need a point maximum.
Colchester haven't a hope in hell of getting the 9 points they'd then need to overhaul us from their last 4 games.
Also, good luck Leyton Orient picking up more than 4 points from their last 4 games with their run-in.
That would leave all of the other 5 teams below us needing to overhaul us to send us down. Won't happen. Rest easy people.

I don't get all the certainty of us staying up. We're only 4 points above the relegation zone and some teams have a game in hand. In this league, it really doesn't matter who you're playing as results can go either way....Yeovil beating Sheff Utd for example last night.
It only takes us losing all our games, which is very, very plausible and a couple of those teams to pick up 4 points and we're gone.
I reckon I'm one of only a few that thinks this one's going to the wire.
Normally I'm one of the more 'glass half full' ones on here....

we will beat bristol city and they will cancel their parties and realise that we are the best team in league 1
If we lose all 3 then I don't think 51 points will be enough and we'll be relegated. I don't think we will lose all 3 though 2-4 points seems reasonable and that will very easily be safe.
We could quite easily pick up 6 points from the last 2 games. At the very least we will beat one of Crewe and Crawley.
Saturday will I think largely depend on if Bristol are concentrating more on the match or celebrating but we can surely pick up at least 2 points from the last 2 games. My worst case scenario is the last game being winner stays up.
And we could easily pick up 0 points from the last 2 games. To say we'll easily beat one of Crewe and Crawley is also dangerous. Imagine reading that on one of their forums...we'll beat Coventry.
My own opinion is that ChiefDaves worst case scenario will ring true. Winner stays up last game of the season.
I wish I shared everyone elses optimism!
I think Brizzle will be full throttle until the end of the season. They'll be gunning for 100 points, no doubt.
I reckon we'll ship a few on Saturday...
I still think that we'll go to Crawley with a mathematical chance of relegation - but that it would take a remarkable set of results on the last day for it to happen, and therefore we'll end up safe.
Being Coventry we won't do this the easy way, we have to have something to worry about on the last day.
