Only if Bury, Oldham and Port Vale fail to win/draw some.
Only if Bury, Oldham and Port Vale fail to win/draw some.we need to win the next 2
then the gap will be 3 or 4 points
Our leading league scorer (Tudgay) has 4 goals. Our next leading scorer (Willis) has 3 goals, and he is a defender not a striker.<snip> Goodness knows how we've managed to come bottom of the pile in such a poor league.

No, agree.I cannot foresee 14 games without any draws.
We've currently drawn 10 in 32, so drawing about one in three.
So if that continues we can expect to draw 4-5 of the remaining games.
Chesterfield and Rochdale currently have the least draws and even they are drawing around one in five.

Both our goal-keepers are crap and we've had three different managers just this season, all of whom have played different systems.
4 out of 5 when venus took over - the heady heightsOne step at a time. Let's see if we can beat Swindon. Can't remember the last time we had back to back wins.

It's not a myth it's the reality
thats the thing. if we won 4 out of 5 then and we do similar again now hopefully it puts an end to myth that this squad is so bad it should lose every match and be bottom of league.
Think this needs bumping.A good chance this weekend to make up some more points on those ahead of us perhaps.
Some of our rival teams have some tough games on paper.
Charlton v Bury
Chesterfield v Oxford
Port Vale v Bradford
Oldham v Millwall
When we need 4 points from a max of 3, i`ll accept that. Ive watched us need to win the last three to stay up and we did, we USED to be fighters, when and only when it is mathematically impossible will i refuse to believe we may be able to stay up.we're down. end of discussion.
You have to sit yourself down in front of the mirror, take a good long look at yourself, put your thinking head on and ask yourself 'Is this team capable at all of putting 3 or 4 back to back victories together? Even 2 or 3?'My maths now tell me that to stay up we need to win something like two thirds of the 39 points that remain available to us, which is more than double the rate at which we have gained points this season, which is just under a quarter of the 99 points that we've played for thus far.
Further, to stay up would require us to win at least 7 of our remaining games, which is more than half of them now. We have won 5 out of 33 so far. It just seems too far gone.
We clearly have a sniff especially if we beat Bury but it would take a monumental turnaround to escape from this self inflicted quagmire.
The teams simply not up to it, the deeper issues are still there.
We could draft in a "pick of a manager" and there would still be nothing there. No manager could get anything from this group, it's a few "players" but not enough to compete
Agree or disagree?
Not gonna keep arguing.
You know exactly where i stand on this one
You asked anyone about a prediction for those games, Chesterfield, Northampton, Oldham, Wimbledon, Gillingham and Swindon a couple of months ago and I think even the most pessimistic of us would have predicted more than one single, solitary win.When you think that in short order we played Chesterfield, Northampton, Oldham, Wimbledon, Gillingham and Swindon, and only won 1 of them, and drew just one more, that tells you all you need to know. The next two look similarly winnable but after that all the remaining games, with the dubious exception of MK away, are against teams way above us in the top half, most of whom at this point will still fancy a shot at the playoffs as a minimum.
We obviously didn't work on stopping Ajose. He just kept ghosting in while our defenders just stood by and watched.I said d before the game yesterday we had to make the Ricoh a fortress and not lose at home for the rest of the season. We lost yesterday without a whimper...more a sandcastle that collapsed with the first wave than a fortress. We played a very poor team on a bad run of results who couldn't score. They outplayed, outfought and outscored us without really needing to break sweat. Cant see us getting enough points to finish anywhere other than 24th out of 24.
