Not sure how the figures add up - Supporters club figures totaled 2990 the other day for Terrace tickets - as the total is now 3100 ish I assume those figures included the stands as well ? Also to be honest if they give a date they should stick to it ..... Why? It was daft to have the cut-off/deadline a week before the majority of people get paid. They've identified a mistake and rectified it. Top work.

If the North Stand start shouting abuse at the East Terrace and the East Terrace starts shouting abuse at the Dribuild and the Dribuild call the South Stand a bunch of c*nts then I think we'd be in for a cracking atmos.
It's just banter after all.

Certainly better than any group we've had for the best part of 10 years, yes. But I definitely think that when we get into one of those precious automatic promotion spots the pressure gets to the lads, which I think is hardly surprising. Our 4-1 win at Newport put is into 3rd, which we followed up with a good 3-0 win vs Cambridge. Then we lost 3-2 to Carlisle and dropped down to 5th. A 3-0 win vs Crawley put us back in 3rd, before a 2-2 draw with N'ton meant we dropped back down to 4th. Last Saturday's 2-1 win over Yeovil meant we moved back up to 3rd for the third time in four weeks before dropping points again last night. If you read my earlier posts in this thread you'll see that I'm not being even remotely critical of DC or the squad, quite the opposite. I think we can take heart in this apparent pattern and dare I say it, being outside of the automatic promotion spots going in to the final three games could be a blessing in disguise. I understand that your post is largely positive, but I think the bit in bold is a bit of a harsh assessment. So first time we got to 3rd we followed up with a resounding 3-0 win, so no adverse affect, before unluckily losing a very tight game away at Carlisle where we twice came from behind. 2nd time we got to third we followed up by coming from two goals down to the run away leaders - surely a great point gained? Last night was a tough game against a team that set out for a point which they needed to make certain of safety, so they were very motivated. On another day we certainly could have won against Carlisle and Stevenage, but it wasn't to be. Football is a game of fine margins, and if we win again on Saturday we will fancy our chances of nabbing an auto spot again, by virtue of our last two fixtures being against already relegated teams. I can see why you'd feel that but I certainly don't mean to be at all critical or harsh. I think we were massively unlucky to have lost at Carlisle, I also think that the point at N'ton was a fantastic effort after being 2 down. I don't know what to make of last night night but I certainly don't think it's right to point a finger of blame at DC or the squad regardless of whether or not there is blame to be assigned or if mistakes were made. What I do know is that I feel more confident that we're going to win when we're chasing teams above us and that gives me hope for the final three games of the season. Whatever happens this season has been great fun and we've achieved masses by securing a play-off spot. Full credit to Darrell and the team.

I know what you're saying mate but we saw it last season when we went top and we're seeing it again this season when we sneak into the automatics; the pressure gets to the boys (and Darrell?) and we drop points. Trust me, I'd love it if we were sitting pretty in third full of confidence that we're going to keep winning and with it entirely in our own hands but we're not and I actually feel more confident that we'll win our remaining three as a result of it. This squad plays much better with a chasing mentality than a siege one. Lol this group of players and manager can handle pressure better than any group we've had.

There are other uses for a kettle. Ollie Watkins is from Newton Abbot. Go round his house, and hit him with it.

Wiaww. The prognosis is entirely different. We now have to win three games and hope two others drop points. If we had won last night we had to win three games. What is unchanged there? I see from the stats that Stevenage had 54% possession. Not bad for a sh*t team playing a side that had to win. Can't remember if they had a shot on target, so you can see why they are where they are. Hopefully Exeter will now implode as they are out of the race for the playoffs. There will probably still be twists and turns to come, just hope we don't mess things up against Exeter. I know what you're saying mate but we saw it last season when we went top and we're seeing it again this season when we sneak into the automatics; the pressure gets to the boys (and Darrell?) and we drop points.

As someone that wasn't there last night I know it's so easy to say but let's not dwell on the Stevenage game, what's done is done and no amount of analysis or blame will change that.
Had we won last night the prognosis for the last three would still be the same as it is now. Three massive performances and three wins required. Last night doesn't change anything other than our league position, as daft as that sounds.
This squad showed last season that they were better coming from behind (ooh, err) as a huge element of our success has been their never-say-die attitude as opposed to perfect game management or being the best side in the league.
Exeter is a cup final and a win Saturday will give us the impetus to push on and win our last two against teams that effectively have nothing to play for. We can still do this.
Three to go, you never know.

Haha, getting picked up at four minutes past three? That's oddly specific. I know, my mate works just down the road from my house and has estimated it will take precisely 4 mins to get to me, and then 6 further minute to pick up the next person and then on the motorway for 15:17 exactly! Haha! Love it!

Buzzing for this, in work until 2 getting feck all done at all, then getting picked up at 15:04, couple of cans of natch for the journey and hopefully get there around 17:45/18:00 for a swift couple before the game. Haha, getting picked up at four minutes past three? That's oddly specific.

I'll just say he's picked up a 'full' wage this season...... Not saying how many times as it would give it away. Yeah, you swept that under the carpet. Ha!

Makes me wonder how we can sale 1000 tickets in a few hours for the last game of the season but struggle with Exeter tickets - just a thought Are we struggling with Exeter tickets? I'm fairly sure it's going to sell out.

Their 24 was definitely appealing for a handball. Shocking defending as he just stood there with his arm in the air instead of making any attempt to block or clear the ball. I sort of hope Gaffers was offside though
