Must win or....League2 

By the sounds of it, as a team we are not there mentally at all.

 

i can't see us getting out of this mess now

 

notts 1 - 2 tranny 

As Canadian said... the team are not upto the standard they should be... which puts doubts on the rest of the season. I am hoping we can get out of this mess and get out of religation, but i'm not expecting it to be easy at all.

I hope we can get a win out of this game, but its if the team can focus and actually try their best and not let silly mistakes dominate the game.

I think Rotherham confirmed our status for next year, however the ability to pick up a point gave some hope and as I am often told by a few people. If we win these next few games, which should be a real possibility it could be looking a lot different.

Tranmere Rovers are a side we can beat, it depends if we choose to cross the ball into the area all the time and if our players decide to break them down by playing through the park. I don't understand why we put the ball back into the flanks, especially when we've scored more from shooting at the target. Callum McGregor doesn't seem to push for a chance to shoot anymore!

League Two wouldn't be all that bad, I just wished the players would show some sort of desire in wanting to remain a League One team.

If this were at the Lane, I'd be confident of victory, but our away form is woeful so I'm less hopeful. A point wouldn't be bad, but all 3 are badly required. 

we should and i hope win.

tranmere was given a way into our home encounter, the defending still has not been sorted but i am confident that the lads can get the points here. i think they will struggle with tyson hes very fast!

i think the score will 2-1.

The result won't matter really, in my opinion we are already down, start planning for next season guys.

Notts are walking the plank now.Every point lost brings the drop closer.

This game is more important than ever now with the 3-1 loss to the  mk dons it now means another loss puts us in the bottom 3 and deep in the mess.

The next three games are winner able trammeire on saturday i hope we win as we won the reserve fixture 3-1 if bart is on form like tuesday night and tysons form continues and also mcgreggor continues i think we should get a win.

The back four how ever mass improvement required if they do i think it will be a county win.

So here is to three points on saturday

tranmere will be up for this, i hope the fans who travel make a lot of noise and encourage the players.

we can get something from them. i think they will struggle with tyson, grealish if he runs and jcr.

Well it will but I agree that it's now a season to write off, now this could change and our words haunted but really Derry needs to rebuild. I'm looking forward to seeing a squad all worthy and capable of playing regularly based on form.

At what point do we get pushed off by a sharp blade? Resistance is a funny word.

Both McGregor and Grealish have been a little quiet, it's weird how both don't really run with the ball like we have seen them. I suspect this is down to confidence or perhaps instructions but really, they're when doing it regularly unstopped at this level. We just haven't seen it much, hopefully we will at Tranmere. Just think if we win and the results go our way!

They will struggle with pace in my opinion, very prone to making mistakes when they are bombarded but they do have capable players to do this to us. We haven't really seen the defence settle!

I wonder if Hollis will be starting? How do other people feel about this as a possibility??

Must win or....League2 

Its league 2 now, can we have a couple of your players? any will do but I wont say no to tavez!

I dont expect anything here, i think the players have given up and even if we do manage to get 3 points it will not be enough. We have to face up to the fact we will be playing a division lower next season but whatever points we can salvage may give us some sort of respect. Terrible season really!

 3 points on Saturday and other results in Notts favour and the sharp blade doesn't prod so hard.. It's not insurmountable but the odds are stacked very heavily against Notts.Miracles do happen though!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

hollis did ok, i would rather see him than leacock who seems to get injured whenever he plays badly.

I see us getting a narrow win, so I will say 1-0 to Notts.

Tyson will be key, if we get an early goal then we could score more. they are not a great side, very poor.

we should beat tranmere and must beat tranmere if we win have a slim chance of staying up if we lose then defo going down.

We must win this

I generally think there's no such thing as a win or bust game in March, but psycholgically this is as close as it gets to one - regrettably.

 

At least 6 points needed from the next 3 games...

good luck with your game tomorrow, you certainly need the points

Last chance saloon Pies..........3-1 Notts

Last chance saloon Pies..........3-1 Notts

I love your optimism Brad you obviously haven't seen a lot of Notts lately! I am hoping for a win but I don't think it will affect our season if we do because we have too much to do to stay up.

we have to get 3 points today ! COYP ! 

Fingers crossed as always.

We must be due a win.................. Sometime, surely?

My eternal optimism has been drained this season - but, if Tyson & Spencer play up front, we have a chance. We have to go for this, a win or bust IMO, no prisoners!

Last throw of the dice for my money, anything but the win and we are down, full stop.
