macclesfield and morecombe seem to have the hardest but as we know this counts for nothing.

anyone can win on the day.

i just hope we stay up, i've not really looked too much into what games are left apart from to do with what i help with admin side on this site.

No easy games for any of them, it will all come down to who wants it more and who will work hard for it.

Notts needs to start picking up more points than they lose, draws at this stage could make all the difference. I know some turn up their noses at a point but when others are losing it could be enough to make a difference come the end of the season.

Nobody will win every game.

Who made the better changes recently, because those who didn't are more likely to be down. Obviously it doesn't it always go like that.

Seeing the remaining fixture run for all the teams gives me some hope, I can't say much after Newport because I feel it could have undone some of the good progress. I don't think we'll win every game and there will be wake up calls.

I just feel it will be much harder.

Posted

I do feel Yeovil will slip up, I think it's between three others to join them. One of which is Notts. :(

If we do manage to escape relegation, it will be very last minute.

Still all to do. I thought we might get something out of Newport but they exposed the defences inexperience. 

If we can recover from that we stand a chance, but we desperately need to start scoring goals  and I can’t see who is going to do it.

We just need to fight and prove that we really want to stay up, then even if we go down fighting we've at least tried, not just given up.

The next five games will say more about the situation the club will be in come the end of the season. If the players can pick themselves up from Newport and bounce back, progress can be made.

My aim would be to tighten the back up and get someone to take the pressure off them.

Calmer passing would make a difference IMO.

Well that looks different from the way i saw it the first time.

Posted

Todays result didnt help the situation.

Posted

Still finding it difficult to find the back of the net, arent we. Have to hope someone can stick some goals in.COYP!

Posted

That would be very helpful @magpiejue

It's hard to read much out of fixture lists to be honest - who would have thought that we'd take 7 points from three of the top four? And as the season draws to a close, a lot depends on the attitude of the opposition. For instance, two of our rivals are playing Carlisle and Bury on the final day - difficult opposition on paper, but if they've already qualified for the play-offs by then they may well be resting players. If they still need points it's a different story though...

The long and short of it is that we need to win matches. If we do, everything will fall into place.

Leaving it too late, it's just going to get harder. Notts needs to remove the chance and luck, focus only on getting the points in order to float.

Anything to stay in the league. Focus on that.

I think so too, Notts always does this and we'll either stay up by a point or relegated because of not winning the final game.

That's depressing to look at, it could go any way!!

Yes but compared to that we have the recent news that the club is in more financial trouble than we thought.
