Whatever people say about whether or not Yeovile is a derby to me it is definitely one and one I absolutely hate to lose and today is probably the most important game we have played against them, from our point of view anyway. What cannot be predicted is how they will approach the game as they are now as safe as they could be with York only having to lose 1 more to make them mathematically safe so you could say a win today will make them mathematically safe! I expect them to be very defensive but much better than they were at their ground where a 5 or six goal win was deserved but we had to rely on Ellis's last minute winner. This is a real banana skin as they are not in bad form other than their 2-0 loss against Exeter last week. Anyway I never try to predict our scores but I don't think I am being stupid to say it is a must win game if we have any hopes of automatic promotion in second place as with Oxford now having a lead of four points and a 13 goal advantage any greater gap is probably going to be unreachable with only 4 games to go after today. I agree with Darrell's view that you take each game as it comes and the important time to look at things is 5pm today. It is not worth taking much notice of how the other teams are doing as that can all change so quick unless one of them is 3-0 or 4-0 up or down! There are only three games that really worry us today other than our own Accrington v Morecombe Oxford v Luton Portsmouth v Plymouth The last of these is the particular reason why todays game is so very important to win because if we do we will definitely stay ahead of these two albeit that a Pompey win with a game in hand will mean it is not in our own hands as to whether we stay above them. Defeat for Plymouth could give us the possibility of a 4 point lead over them whereas a Plymouth win in many ways could be better in the long term but a draw would probably be the ideal result. I really believe that we have to look at these fixtures as worst case scenarios and I suppose it is very likely that both Oxford and Accrington will win with neither Morecombe or Luton having anything other than pride to play for- but maybe that is the very reason they are potential banana skins today the same as our game. One thing that is for sure is that nothing is going to be decided today but as each game goes by now the importance of having won cannot be over emphasised. If the automatics aren't competitive enough there is also the chase for the Play offs where seriously I think it is now down to 6 clubs chasing one spot as I wouldn't expect any of them to catch Portsmouth let alone any of the rest of the top teams! Finally whilst saying we should be only taking one game at a time it is interesting to note that Wycombe and Hartlepool could all have a big say in how our rivals do, I mention Hartlepool because since losing to us 4-1 they have suffered only two defeats in their last 10 games and both of those were only 1-0. Hartlepool play Oxford away, Accrington Home, Plymouth away and Portsmouth Home so all I can say is come on Hartlepool do the business! Wycombe also can do themselves and us a big favour playing Accrington Home, Portsmouth Away and then a very tasty game at Oxford on the last day of the season!
Come on the gas three points today please and then take another look at things!!

Our home form is brilliant and I can see us boosting out Gd today,if we get a goal in the first 20 I can see it being 3 or 4

Completely agree. The story at home recently has been get a goal more will follow.
Need to keep it tight at the back though because 1 nil down creates an icky atmosphere.

Yeah we should but I'm still sh**ting myself,going up and strengthening in the summer would be a bonus and I hope we do it for dc too,it's his team on a sh**e budget so he will get and deserve the credit rather than if it was next season everyone would be saying ooh they got rich owners that's why they went up Would be a exciting summer if we went up and would love to see what quality of players would be brought in the summer if we did go up,would def need more quality and I hope he's given a budget to match any team in the division

Really don't want to consider next season right now. Every one of our last 5 games are critical as are our opponents. We still have a great chance of the automatics and I'm trying to hang on to that but see Yeovil and Exeter as really tough games that we cannot take for granted to yield 3 points. The play offs are equally scary given the teams there or thereabouts including Exeter because our track record this season against those teams is far from convincing and im sure it will be much tougher than lasts seasons jaunt against forest green. God it's as exciting as scary and heres hoping that God is also a Gashead alongside our messiah Weal

I do fear what will happen if we do go 1-0 down in any of our remaining games, I doubt will happen today as I expect Yeovil to have 11 men in their penalty box for 90 mins, even if they concede a goal! Patience could be our virtue today! Still thinking 10 pm Tuesday evening could be an interesting time on here, as we'll either be back in the top 3, or feeling like we've blown it again almost a year to day after Dover last season.

Yeah more worried about Tuesday out of all the games not worried about the home games I think Exeter will be a game similar to the Dons home game,massive pressure on Exeter too and with our crowd and home form I think we're beat them Utg

I reckon it will be similar to most home games with a sloppy 0-0 first half and then a comfortable second when we grab a couple in front of the blackthorn.
Would love Morecambe to do us a favour and maybe the fact that it is a local derby up there for them may make it more interesting but I reckon accy will be too strong for them. A draw for pompy is our best hope for the other 3 games realistically...

What will happen if we go 0-1 down is clowns in the crowd getting on the players' backs. Just what we don't want. Let's keep behind them. Look at last week - 2 nil down to table toppers. Then could have won it. Keep the faith!!!

We are Yeovil's nearest rivals and that will be a big incentive for them to keep us in the same division.
