I would say we need a minimum of 4 wins and one of those pretty well must be Northampton away. if you look at the last six results of the bottom 6 Northampton 2 wins out of 6 Wigan 2 wins out of 6 Swindon 2 Wins out of 6 Rochdale 1 win out of 6 Wimbledon 1 win out of 6 Bristol Rover5s 1 win out of 6
All these teams will need to show a vast improvement to get to 46 points
TO GET TO 46 POINTS Northampton have Sunderland ,Peterborough and Hull City AWAY .with 7 to go. They need a massive improvement to get to 46- 3 wins and a draw required Wigan have 9 games left and need 4 wins and play Swindon at home. They have Gillingham,Doncaster,Shrewsbury and Hull away as well as Sunderland at home Swindon have 9 games too so need 9 points to reach 46 and probably have the easiest run in except for the fact they play 3 of the teams in the mire too Rochdale,Wimbledon and Wigan all AWAY and also go to MK Dons, Burton and play Peterborough at home. Rochdale too have 9 games to go and probably need 5 wins to get past 46. They play Swindon Home and Wigan and Wimbledon away out of the bottom 6 but will need to win at places like Portsmouth,Fleetwood and MK Dons with home games against Ipswich,Blackpool,Accrington and Doncaster Wimbledon have 10 games to go and will need 4 wins /3 wins and a draw or lots of draws. They play Swindon and Rochdale at home from the bottom six but play Ipswich twice,Lincoln Away and go to Plymouth and Accrington and also play Oxford and Portsmouth at home
My only problem is that I just don't see us getting anywhere near the 46 points!! The point I am making though is that it is not as impossible as people are making out if we can get one of the wins in our next two games to boost confidence.

For me we need to go 4-4-2 keep it simple stupid as well. f**k fancy formations. Straight up and down and I say that as someone who doesnt have a problem with playing different ways. And we can do it with the injuries we have.
Cutting out sloppy marking on the other hand will he hard as we have been sh** all season
Anssi
Williams Kilgour Baldwin Leahy
Rodman/Mccormick (fitness dependent on Rodman) Grant Mccormick/pick an option if Mccormick has to play on the right Walker
Any two out of Ayunga/Daly/Hanlan

It gives factual insight that helps to see what could happen. It does give us hope if we somehow manage to professionally grind out the results we need.

I genuinely believe we can win four games.
If we get one over Easter it will be a massive boost
Two over Easter and I'll..... Well who knows

We would need to turn our form over the last 16 months on its head. I think it would be the greatest ‘great escape’ story in the football league for a long time. Unfortunately, we don’t have the quality in the squad to do it. That’s been proven throughout the season.

Unfortunately, we don’t have the quality in the squad to do it. That’s been proven throughout the season. Not sure about that. We have barely been in the relegation zone all season. 'Great escapes' are when a team is adrift and goes on a run to get out of it on the last day. I think we will go down though unfortunately. Joey's early positivity and the wins against Shrewsbury and Stanley gave me hope. But the collapse at Charlton, losing Nicholson and a rejuvenated Rodman, Barton's rants about Ehmer and cancer (while arguably justified) have killed any momentum we had

There was a glimmer of hope yesterday. The Rovers team that turned up were a cut above any starting 11 I've seen this season. Where have they been hiding? I thought they gave Sunderland a good run for their money. We had a couple (literally) of good chances but what a woeful goal to concede. In short, we might just do it. It is really tight at the bottom

Completely agree with 442. Said it ages ago, complexity clearly doesn’t work with this squad. 442 is the formation every footballer understands, back to basics please.
A full week of training and some hopefully rested legs too. This week has to be the turning point if we’re going to stay up.

The trouble is that the manager has given up and it looks like he is just preparing for next season.

I’ve pretty much given up, but Ipswich aren’t in great form. If we could go there and snatch a 1-0 You’re suddenly looking at needing wins against Northampton and a Crewe and mk dons side hopefully already on the beach.
It shouldn’t be all over, but it feels like it is.

Somehow we have to find that bit of luck, get back to back victories and hope the others around us don’t pick up points
I’d definitely start Walker, nothing to lose.
Nice simple 4-4-2
Anssi
Williams Kilgour Martinez Leahy
Walker Grant McCormick Rodman/Tutonda
Daly Ayunga
No room for Westbrook or Oz, too inconsistent and have offered very little to us unfortunately
Hanlan is massively out of form
Martinez is a risk but why not? The other 3 have been poor all season.
Can’t see us getting out to be honest, but an unexpected victory at Ipswich (they are in poor form) and you never know. Scabby last minute winner own goal will do, we must be due some luck surely?

Given that we know the side is not good enough for this league then basically the only thing that can save us would be Ansi staying fit and some much needed luck which has deserted us lately.

34 points from 38 games we really should be dead and buried but the fact we're still only 2 points from safety means we're still in with a shout. Ipswich & Doncaster both aren't in great form, if we could somehow get 6 or even 4 points from those games we'd give ourselves a huge boost. Unfortunately as much as I want to believe I just cant see us getting out.

We have Jaakkola.
He literally could be the player to turn defeats into draws.
We need to relook at crossing into the opposition box.
There is nobody who wins attacking headers with conviction. So dont make that type of cross OR have players totally focussed on winning possession from the cleared header.
Always be looking for shots outside the box and to follow up for rebounds.
