Sorry there’s an error in my post that I can’t edit - it should say Taunton play Hemel not Weston so both could not exceed 50 points.

Updated after Saturday 13th April. Truro 43 51 -9 Hemel 45 49 -16 Eastbourne 44 48 -22 Torquay 44 47 -9 Taunton 43 45 -25 Dartford 45 43 -20 Havant 45 37 -35 Dover 44 27 -34 Much simpler now – Beat Taunton & we are safe. We would have 50 points with the best goal difference and as Taunton play W...

It is a worry. I didn't feel it was a complete lack of effort but not the fight that one would expect in a relegation battle. Plus tactics again - long ball with one shortish forward against tall defenders just didn't work. I fear we will lose at Taunton who are clearly up for a fight. Surely we can...

I can’t see us winning at Taunton who are making areal fight of it but if we do we’re safe.
Draw and we’re safe if we beat Havant.
Lose and we’re relying on Taunton failing to beat Weston or beating Hemel.

Bath 3-1 torquay If we get anything out of this game will be a real bonus. A win I think would make safe but cannot see it coming with this game. Hopefully the win will come Tues. An unexpected win today would be a huge step towards staying up but now we've had an extra point deducted we can't be s...

Was rueing the fact that the last match may be a dead rubber but Marshall has cost us again and brought us right back into the mix. Marshall is not primarily responsible for this. It is a club administrative matter and the club secretary is normally responsible - and sometimes resign as a result of...

Updated after a further point deducted Friday 12th April.

Strangely, the league has ruled that Slough's 4-2 win against Bath ,abandoned in the 70th minute due to a medical incident in the crowd, will stand but the goals for and against won't be counted. The spectator receiving treatment recovered within 5 minutes but Bath boss, Jerry Gill, refused to brin...

Hemel not safe yet either.
They play Taunton last game. If they don’t beat Slough Saturday loser of that could go down.
Taunton & Dartford look the most likely to go.

Truro 0 Eastbourne 0
Good result for us I think as it keeps both teams in the mix. Particularly good that Eastbourne didn’t win as they stay behind us with three games left.

Better you channel your thoughts on what WE can achieve and not others, which we can not influence. A point at Bath would put us on 49, meaning that Taunton would need to get a result from Slough or we would be seven points ahead of them with a better GD. True. But I like to know what we need (may ...

A couple of thoughts: Slough, who have nothing to play for, have a big role in deciding relegation. If Hemel beat Slough on Saturday then they are pretty much safe but if Hemel lose or draw their final game at Taunton could be a decider for both. If Taunton beat or draw with Slough tomorrow and both...

A point would be a good result but it's not 'must win'.
Taunton and / or Havant however could be.
Hoping for a good following although it won't match the numbers we had there last time.

Why be concerned about Taunton?...They are six points behind us with a worse goal difference, with two games in hand - I would be surprised if they overtook us. The current bottom four, look like the teams for the drop; Dartford Taunton Havant & Waterlooville Dover Because if they beat us it wi...
