It’s now approaching the time of the season where all teams in and around promotion and relagation teams are under pressure,so results can be unpredictable,I think we are in for a bumpy ride and will probably be in and out of a relagation spot until the last game and hopefully we can stay out of the bottom four 🙏 good luck to the lads we will need some UTG

Our record against our 6 relegation rivals has been very poor:
1 Point - Rochdale (2 Games)
3 Points - Wimbledon (1 Game)
0 Points - Swindon - (1 Game)
3 Points - Northampton (1 Game)
1 Point - Wigan (2 Games)
1 Point - Burton (2 Games)
So 9 points from a possible 27.
Anyone know how Rochdale, Northampton, Wigan, Swindon, Wimbledon and Burton have faired in their 6 pointers?

If we can escape its going to feel like promotion and with Joey and his contacts I can see us pushing next season

The Wimbledon game worries me for this reason. But we have beaten them already. Beat them Saturday and they look in big trouble after losing to Burton as well.
We really need Wigan to stop winning! Ideally wins against Swindon, Nton and the Wombles and we wont need too many more. For some reason, I expect us to continue to do better against the teams in the top half!

Don't know about 6 pointers but every game is a potential 3 points, we will pick up points when we least expect it (who would have predicted 9 points from Pompey, Shrews, and Stanley?) and we will drop points against teams we should be beating as we have already seen.
Think 5 more wins will do and don't care who they come against, if we show the same commitment on display v Stanley we will be fine , think JB will ensure we continue in that vein but be prepared for a bumpy ride to safety! up the Rovers!

Anyone know how Rochdale, Northampton, Wigan, Swindon, Wimbledon and Burton have faired in their 6 pointers? If we can win the three remaining games in this mini-league then that would give us 18 from 36, and take us a big step toward safety. Of course it's a big if, but last night's performance gives us hope |

Win the three games v Wimbledon, Swindon and Northampton and it reads a lot better though 18 points from 36 = 50% ratio |

Doesn’t look so good when you put the stats down on paper but it’s all about the next match. It’s dangerous to look too far ahead. I thought after they beat us and Rochdale moved up the table they might have thought they were pulling to safety but now they’re bottom and are beginning to look doomed.
We need to think only about the Wimbledon match, nothing else. One match at a time, then move on. I think that served us well in 2016, win the next match and then move on.
Interesting stats but they mean little if the team don’t win or draw the next match.
UTG!

At the moment, it looks like only 7 clubs are involved in the relegation battle. 6 pointers will be important, well all games are now important of course, but 6 pointers even more so. So I have had a look to see who in the bottom 7 have any 6 pointers left. These games will not be easy (as we've seen in our recent games vs Wigan and Burton) as we are all fighting for survival. But win these games and you put distance between you and them. Here are the 6 pointer battles remaining.
18th: Burton: 16 games to go and 3 are against the bottom 7 sides vs Wimbledon (A), Swindon (H), Wigan (A)
19th: Swindon: 14 games to go and 5 are against the bottom 7 sides vs Rovers (A), Rochdale (A), Burton (A), Wimbledon (A), Wigan (A)
20th: Gas: 15 games to go and 3 are against the bottom 7 sides vs Wimbledon (H), Swindon (H), Northampton (A)
21st: Wimbledon: 16 games to go and 6 are against the bottom 7 sides vs Burton (H), Rovers (A), Wigan (H), Rochdale (H), Northampton (H), Swindon (H)
22nd: Northampton: 14 games to go and 2 are against the bottom 7 sides vs Wimbledon (A), Rovers (H) 23rd: Rochdale: 14 games to go and 2 are against the bottom 7 sides vs Wimbledon (A), Swindon (H)
24th: Wigan: 14 games to go and 3 are against the bottom 7 sides vs Wimbledon (A), Burton (H), Swindon (H)
The good thing about this is when teams below us play each other at least one of them will drop points. |

Think Rochdale are all but down. A nice club to visit and friendly supporters. Swindon, like everyone else it is in their own hands but playing all the away games hopefully will send them down too. I think we will beat the Dons on saturday and that will leave then with less chances of staying up.
Burton with a new manager and 9 signings in the window are on their way and will survive. Northampton is the danger, they have begun to score, hopefully we can beat them.

I think the games against Wimbledon and Plymouth are crucial if we could win those two against two teams that are out of form we would then have 39 points with ten games to go, providing we don't get a result at Charlton, teams in the bottom four have averaged less than a point a game which even with improvement it looks like 48 points would keep us up. So ten games to go after the Plymouth game and with 39points we would have to really mess up to get relegated and not get 9 points from the last ten games. Those two games are crucial anything against Charlton is a bonus.

Pointless looking at who plays who we just need to get enough points to stay up simple as that 🙏 In your opinion. Some people enjoy looking at stats/permutations/what ifs etc so not pointless to them. I myself will use the predictor in the link if we are still in the relegation race with 6-8 games to go to work out all the possible outcomes - nerdy fun! www.worldfootball.net/table_calculator/eng-league-one/ |

No need to worry about the team you are playing. Every team is capable of a good day and a bad day.Just make sure YOU have a good day.
If they keep winning, then easter monday Rovers are safe. Every point dropped between now and then extends the point of safety.
On the calendar its only about 4 weeks , its two games a week though !
