my forecast of york and aldershot to slip looks slightly more likely after their rivals all won their games in hand.
you'd imagine we would have the wind in our sails and a bounce in our step after last night, but i'd still be content with a draw against york, but would obv take the win instead
so if we're buzzing, imagine how stanley and argyle must feel!! i'd now fancy both of them to continue this form, but only in their home games?
off to have another go at it now
cheers

I make it 52 points for safety on that.
Barring a surprise away win we need to win both our home games.

I had Shots and Wimbledon going down on 48 and 49 points respectively but we were with four others on 50 points. This is squeaky bum time and I think we need 51 not 50 to be sure of safety.
So, assuming a loss against Gillinham, we have to win against Barnet and draw against Morecambe and Rovers - it is still do-able but it will need a massive step up in performance from where the team was today.

I wish we could post the table onto here! I just did it properly for the first time. Good news is that we'll be safe.
I predicted for us as follows:
Lost 4-1 to Gillingham
Beat Barnet 1-0
Draw with Morecambe 1-1
Draw with Rovers 1-1
I had York and Plymouth going down. And in my precitions we'd still (just) survive even without those two draws I predicted

I've just done this again and got York on 51 and Torquay one of five teams on 52 - staying up on goal difference after beating Bristol Rovers.

Sadly i can't see us beating Rovers unless they feel sorry for us!

Unfortunately for us, Bristol Rovers are in form and now, unbelievably, in with a chance of a play-off place. On BBC predictor, each time I do it, we go down. Think we would lose against them but even if I'm generous and give us a draw...we still go down.

Why unfortunately for us? We really are getting so pessimistic and depressed on here. The last game of the season is always a lottery, does not matter whether a team has something to play for or not. Often teams with nothing to play for suddenly turn it on and vice-versa. As it happens only the most diehard Rovers fan would think that their team has a realistic chance of the play-offs, they can get a maximum of 70 points if they win all their remaining games. A glance at the table suggests that will not be enough this season.

It's likely that by the time we play Bristol Rovers any slim chance they have of a play off spot will be gone.
We have easier games than most of the others involved - two against mid table teams with probably little to play for and home to a team who are as bad us us.
One thing that slightly concerns me though is that some of the other teams' harder fixtures are against teams who by then may be promoted or sure of play off spot. Teams sure of play off spot often rest players in their last game or two and lose.

You appear to be perplexed as to why people might be pessimistic and depressed regarding our prospects. Have you looked at the league table? Considered our woeful form? Considered the form of our reminding opponents. All we have is faint hope. The grasping at straws kind. There is no rational reason to conclude that we will take points, other than hope we will. If that is not reason enough to feel pessimistic then what is?

Barnet are as bad as us. Beat them next week and it will look much more promising.
