More worryingly, the teams around us are winning games and are in form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been picking up points recently as well.Just consider what position we were in a few weeks ago and compare it to now after a few games.There are a lot of points to play for yet.Have a bit of belief.

ChaddySmoker Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 That was a bad set of results in the main for us. We do not want it to become any 4 from the bottom 5 going down and really needed to keep a little closer to Chesterfield, Fleetwood and bloody Shrewsbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more teams you keep in the scrap, the better. It's more the fact Shrewsbury, Fleetwood and Chesterfield are pulling away. As Smoker says, you want that mini-league to be as populated as possible, so your survival isn't contingent on a couple of other teams. Doncaster have a decent side, and I can see them recovering. If we win all our games between now and May it's irrelevant but other teams form is clearly meaningful to us.

Hands on Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 It does rather look like even 52 points might not be enough! Ah well I won't have that nasty season ticket decision to make as I've already renewed. Wins at home - the club betting against league 1 survival!

Guest nonaenever Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Basically, if we finish above Blackpool and Donny - we'll stay up - and that is do-able. Much better position than we were in a few weeks back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 That was a bad set of results in the main for us. I was hoping they'd all lose or, at least none of them win. Hoping. I'll be hoping for the same next week too. And it won't happen then either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look doomed to me. http://www.soccerstats.com/formtable.asp?league=england3 Just my opinion. Based on the fact they've got a manager who knows the league, funds to bring in a player or two if they need to and an existing decent side for this division. Bad form won't run on forever.

robboman Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Blackpool could do another Portsmouth. Up to the top league then down to the bottom. Would anyone take that for Oldham in hindsight? Suppose I would to be honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1onheartNew Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Donny may well get out of it, but it will not be for at least two games which are both away to Scunny and Bradford. By that time, we will be above them. They won't get much at either. They are then home to Posh who are the only team to have worse form over the last 6 games. Both have 1 point from the last 18 but Donny have a better GD. Donny are then away to Colchester. They are pretty much stuffed. Coventry have a huge part to play in the next couple of games. They need a win to get back in the playoffs and are away to Shrews and Blackpool consecutively. Blackpool then have us next up. We should be clear of them whilst still retaining a game in hand. Pool are then away to Crewe. They are really stuffed. Back to Posh. Given that they have lost their previous 3 home games to Swindon, us and Bradford, in and between some heavy away defeats, their defence is the leakiest in the division. They are not scoring and their next opponents Vale should roll them at London Road. Then they have the Donny game. Lose both of those and their next game against the aforementioned Coventry becomes must win for both. FWIW, I reckon Colchester and Blackpool are down. Donny are running out of confidence and two more consecutive defeats will make their recovery far less plausible than Latics' ever was. Peterborough are this seasons capitulators. They are my four.

Omar Don't Scare Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Would be hilarious if Peterborough went down. I'm certain they'll have enough in the tank to pull through though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
