We had a similar record at Southend.

Lose and they'll be dragged back into it again with us one point behind them. I think we'll be composed as usual away and they'll be nervy.

7 games without a win (home and away) against Scunny. I thought they were rubbish at the Mem and were lucky to take 3 points. I think we'll get something up there today. UTG.

They like Accrington are another of our bogey teams. With another difficult week coming up as our record at Gillingham is also poor and next Saturday Charlton are another bogey team we rarely beat. Maybe three consecutive draws ? |

We need to win one at least and draw one to keep up over the next three. Two wins and a loss would do me. 😁⚽️

Do you think there has been real change in attitude & applications then ? |

You missed the most important player, Harry. Referee - Trevor Kettle. Isn't that the one & only? Big friend of ours? Or have I got it wrong?

We keep picking up points but are still in deep trouble.
Surely a couple of teams have got to hit bad form and drop away?
Right now it looks like Wimbledon are done for, but apart from that it could be any 3 from 11.
On the flip side, 1982 have picked up 1 point from their last 4 games and somehow are still only 1 point outside of the play offs and have a game in hand.

Well that was a quick delivery of 3 points. Crikey - we've won at Southend and Scunthorpe. We couldn't win at Gillingham as well could we? Hope springs eternal. |

Great win and it feels like some momentum is building.
With so many teams in a fight for survival I'm struggling to figure out if that means we'll need more or less than 51 points to stay up.
My gut feel is 51 will be the target to retain our league one status and a look at our remaining fixtures combined with our current form suggests we should be on target for a finish of between 51 to 55 points.
It's going to be a scary ride but I still think we can do it.

Quality battling win that. Could’ve been 3/4 with a bit more composure in front of goal.
Thought they were a poor outfit & any late equaliser would’ve been a sickener.
