Safety ? Long way to go yet. (1 Viewer)

Orient and County both have games in hand. Can't see us taking anything from Bristol; which makes Crewe an enormous game. I don't think 52 will prove anything near enough. Momentum and confidence are important at times like this. Do we have enough old heads to steady the boat?


Stop being a big nancy-fied wuss, MMM!! :D


Notts County's game in hand is against Preston. Orient tomorrow play MK Dons away and their last game of the season is against Swindon.


We'll be fine.

Think we need to just forget about the Bristol game. Anything there would be a real bonus. I would say one more point from Crewe or Crawley should leave us completely safe, though we probably already have enough points now.

I think it is heading to a last day show down with about half a dozen clubs including us in the mix, then we have to hope our lot with many of our players heading back to parent clubs or out on the ear due to short term contracts are up for the fight.

LO have the most difficult. I think we will probably be OK if we get something at home to Crewe. It would be nice to get something tomorrow but I can't realistically see that happening.

I think we will be OK.

I can't see Orient losing all 4 to be honest and their goal difference is a lot better than ours. My worry is we are not playing that well but have sneaked a few points which has kept our heads above water. I do not want to go into that Crawley game needing points as bad as Crawley look at the moment I just know we would bottle it somehow because this reliance Waggott has on loans and short contracts I fear will come back to haunt us. We must beat bogey team Crewe.

Maybe not losing all four, but they have the most difficult games: MK Dons, Swindon and Sheff Utd. I know anyone can beat anyone but I would have thought they would find it difficult to get too much from those fixtures. Yeovil have gone, Colchester surely will be number two and I think LO, so just one more. Notts County for me.

The loser of the Crawley/Notts County game will go I believe, we need to equal Crewe's result tomorrow imo which will mean Crewe having to come here and be more open to get a result, that will help us I think....I hope.

My view also. The fact that Crawley and NOtts meet tomorrow puts my mind at rest a bit, then make sure we don't lose to Crewe. Also, the game in hand is nullified to a point as we are 4 points above Notts and LO

I reckon Port Vale will drop.....only 1 win in their last 10 games....and of course that was against us.....

Them & Notts can't buy a win at present.....

So I'll go for Vale, Notts & Colchester to join Yeovil in L2 next season.

Yeovil have gone.

We are in 16th so that means that there are another 7 clubs below us trying to keep out of the last 3 places.

There is only 1 club below us with a better GD.

I bet my house on it so it's a win -win for me. (The missus is pretty nervous though)

We are 4 points clear from 20th and they are not in the bottom 4.

We are 80/1 to go down. So the bookies see us as being safe :p

we are 14, 15 or 16 to 1 to go down depending on the bookie.

Remember this thread when I got a bit of stick, after saying we were already safe?

Well, we were already safe. 51 points WAS enough. :wave:

Then you started shitting yourself after we lost to Crewe, stick to your guns Otis.

I did.

Just pointing out that when I said 51 points was enough I was proved right.

After we lost to Crewe I was most definitely worried. 51 points WAS enough after all though.
