All over boys the bottom four at present are going down Agree - sadly we are not good enough and are going down. We've all known it for a while if we're honest.

We are going to need to beat Crewe and MK Dongs for sure... Can’t see us getting much from Lincoln, Portsmouth or Blackpool. Even six points might not be enough. . Six points will definitely not be enough. I think we will need 10 - where they will come from who knows. Three home games - Lincoln, MK, Crewe - if we do well, maybe 7 points? Two away - Pompey and Blackpool - nil points. One hope is that Blackpool are safely in the play offs and want to save themselves for those games (he says clutching at straws)

Terrible game. We really needed a win today and results have gone against us. However its still not over, we've got 3 home games against Lincoln who are in free fall(Not to dissimilar to us back in 2000), MK Dons and Crewe both off which have nothing to play for and hopefully will already be in beach mode. Those games are all must win. We can still do it. Not sure Lincoln are in free fall - came back in the last 15 mins from 2-0 down v in form Blackpool (who we play last game) to draw 2-2

Really disappointing. We are weak and so prone to error at the back that conceding is always likely. Yes perhaps Baldwin was nudged but he has to be, imho, stronger.
We drop a place on GD as Wigan score a late goal. Sadly I can't see us getting enough points in our remaining 5 games to stay up. Got to hope Swindon win their three(?) six pointers in the mini league, and then get a massive points deduction, and somehow we do find enough points, but I can't see where...

Shiiiit. It's the hope that is so painful. Come on Gas we have to get 3 points here with the way other results are going, teams with games in hand, better Goal difference etc etc

Whatever your view of the Royal Family, and the Monarchy, you are entitled to hold that view. To hold individual views is a right that was fought for by the Duke of Edinburgh and all of his, and Her Majesty The Queen's, generation. So have your view, but please don't let this thread descend into argument. It is to remember The Duke - please can I respectfully request that other discussion be taken elsewhere in General Chat.

HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh - a man that served this country for over 80 years first as a Royal Navy Officer and then as HRH The Queen's life companion. RIP Sir and, if I may be so bold, my condolences to HRH The Queen and the Royal Family.

We must win, Archie and I played PS4 Gas won 2 0, so will take that, if we cant win there we dont deserve to stay up, ready to have egg on my face but really confident going a Marshy 1 3. Joey will have got them fired up for this, reckon it might be tasty and some red cards I hope not - with the injuries already decimating the squad, we can't afford to lose any key players for up to three vital games through suspension. Play with the same intensity as in the Doncaster game, keep our heads and win 3-1. UTG

JB needs to be careful with his criticism of Refs. Not because they shouldn't be criticised when they are wrong imho - as per the Swindon call off, and to double the pain v the same opposition - the ridiculous disallowed goal. When errors of that magnitude are made, that affect peoples livelihoods, then the officials must be held to account. Where JB risks undermining himself is where he rants about decisions that are at best marginal. The 'penalty' v Sunderland for example was not something to rant about, again imho.

More than held our own against one of the better teams in the league, undone by the usual defensive mistake. Can someone tell Williams that a defender, a bang average one at that, shouldn’t be wearing pink boots. He's not that good. His pathetic attempt to track the goal scorer was worse than schoolboy defending

Well I was expecting a hammering today - so 1-0 is a bit of a relief. There are, to coin a phrase, a lot of positives from that today - but we all know the negatives that will relegate us are our woeful finishing, and our inability to stay organised at the back for a whole game and vs set pieces.

Despite the fact that we are doomed to League 2 due to the lapses of concentration and organisation at the back, and our inability to convert our chances, we are probably only two or three players away from a reasonable team. A leader at the back, and a good experienced centre forward would transform the team, add a quality central midfielder and we would be up the other end of the table. The players show glimpses of what is possible, but we haven't got those experienced heads to knit it all together.
