The other sides battling to stay(except guiseley who play cheltenham) up could all win on sat looking at their fixtures.So we gotta try get a point v tranmere. If we do and then we MUST beat altrincham we should almost be safe needing a point or 2 from final 3 games to guarantee safety.

Got a feeling we could just need a point from the barrow game to be safe.

Guisley have a very hard run in. We could b sending them down on the last day

Halifax also have a tough run-in - they have to go to Cheltenham and FGR, and face Eastleigh at home.

Altrincham as well don't have it easy, having to go to Eastleigh and Braintree who will likely both be in the mix for the playoffs right until the death.

Chester also have a tricky run in - Lincoln seem solid at home, Welling have improved of late and might not be a walk over and then following that they go to Grimsby and then face Gateshead at home (Gateshead being one of only two teams who's away record is better than their home)

Next Tuesday's game is critical, as another performance/result like last night could put us 6+ points clear as we go into the home straight. You have to say we have the easier run in (after we get this weekend out of the way) but that talk is pointless if we don't take advantage of it.

Anything from the Tranmere game will be a bonus - next Tuesday is the must-win game

I don't think we have the easier run in - probably on a par with other teams. Bromley and Barrow are the form teams in this division, tranmere are in play off contention, and altrincham blow hot and cold but are capable of a good performance on their day.

The thing in our favour is we have 3 at home, including the crunch altrincham game. If we beat altrincham, one win from the others would probably see us safe. I don't want to have to win away at guiseley to guarantee safety, as although they can't win they don't ship loads of goals and a draw there might be a more achievable result.

But of course this is the conference, where everybody is rubbish, so who knows. What I would say is look at the games we've played since our upturn in form; we haven't beaten a side that is outside the bottom third. The best we've done is a good home draw against Braintree and a poor one away at aldershot. That certainly needs to change.

I would argue that the win at Gateshead last Saturday was a good win (away) against a team outside the bottom third. Undeserved, but nonetheless an important win and a solid performance top go with it

We scored twice as many goals as Gateshead. Therefore we thoroughly deserved the win.
