Next Weekend
Next Weekend
Anyone started to be reminded of that awful time in League 1 at Colchester when a combination of results sent us down?
Anyway, these are the KEY fixtures next week, I have left out Aldershot's fixture as they can't catch us whatever happens.
The only set of results that would see us down is as follows.....
Wimbledon v Fleetwood HOME WIN
D & R v York DRAW (any other outcome would see one or other finish below us, should we lose)
Northampton v Barnet AWAY WIN (a draw for Barnet could be enough, but only if we lose by FOUR!)
Rochdale v Plymouth DRAW or AWAY WIN even a narrow defeat for Argyle might see them
finish above us if we suffered a heavy defeat
All this assumes we LOSE, as we know, quite simply a DRAW will guarantee our safety!
The way results went today, anything can happen and probably will. In many ways I think the D&R v York game may turn out to be the key one ....

Very happy to be in that position knowing a point will be enough and even if we lose we'll probably be safe - and glad to have a ticket for the game - now to book the train.

In essence CP, what you are saying is that it's tighter than a knats chuff at the bottom and we simply have to win or draw to be certain of League two football next season.

Hi Scott, now it's ME that's saying to you 'We ain't going down'...I think most people know that but want to keep the excitement going !
Thing is Chris on that day there was only 2 teams standing between us and relegation, this time it's 5 teams, if Barnet/Wimbledon win, Plymouth win/draw, and the York/ Dagenham game finished as draw and we lose I will consider us the most unlucky team in the history of all football in all countries that play football combined, because that is the only we can be relegated.

Northampton, Fleetwood & Rochdale all have nothing significant to play for, so could well all lose.
Which needs us relying on York v Dagenham to be a draw or us getting a point.
I don't think it's over yet - at least I'll be able to watch with Torquay fans, unlike Colchester where had to keep quiet for risk of being chucked out home stand.

If we lose and York/ Dagenham draw would be relegated if all other results went against us, we need one team to win that game.
Go thing about is they can't set out play for a draw as Dagenham would risk going down.

I'm still totally confident we will be in League Two next season - and I've been confident of this ALL season....as I said in another thread, the results today simply mean my gloating is on hold for another week.coley wrote:Hi Scott, now it's ME that's saying to you 'We ain't going down'...I think most people know that but want to keep the excitement going !

We should be okay, but ...... a draw next Saturday would mean we're definitely okay. But please Messrs Knill, Brass & Taylor and the lads, don't put us fans through the wringer by playing for a draw. Go out to WIN as we did against Barnet.

Northampton do have something significant to play for. A win could see them move up to a position where they are at home for the second leg of the play-off semi-final. A draw would not be enough for them.standupsitdown wrote:Northampton, Fleetwood & Rochdale all have nothing significant to play for, so could well all lose.

Also, Northamptons form has stuttered the last couple of weeks. They will probably be looking to take some good form into the playoffs, and play for the win.
At least things are in our hands - screw the rest of the teams, lets go out there and take care of things ourselves.
