Win the Next Four league Games

We scored twice as many goals as Gateshead. Therefore we thoroughly deserved the win. :scarf:

I would argue that the win at Gateshead last Saturday was a good win (away) against a team outside the bottom third. Undeserved, but nonetheless an important win and a solid performance top go with it

I don't think we have the easier run in - probably on a par with other teams. Bromley and Barrow are the form teams in this division, tranmere are in play off contention, and altrincham blow hot and cold but are capable of a good performance on their day.

The thing in our favour is we have 3 at home, including the crunch altrincham game. If we beat altrincham, one win from the others would probably see us safe. I don't want to have to win away at guiseley to guarantee safety, as although they can't win they don't ship loads of goals and a draw there might be a more achievable result.

But of course this is the conference, where everybody is rubbish, so who knows. What I would say is look at the games we've played since our upturn in form; we haven't beaten a side that is outside the bottom third. The best we've done is a good home draw against Braintree and a poor one away at aldershot. That certainly needs to change.

If we do and then we MUST beat altrincham we should almost be safe needing a point or 2 from final 3 games to guarantee safety.

Got a feeling we could just need a point from the barrow game to be safe.

Guisley have a very hard run in. We could b sending them down on the last day
Halifax also have a tough run-in - they have to go to Cheltenham and FGR, and face Eastleigh at home.

Altrincham as well don't have it easy, having to go to Eastleigh and Braintree who will likely both be in the mix for the playoffs right until the death.

Chester also have a tricky run in - Lincoln seem solid at home, Welling have improved of late and might not be a walk over and then following that they go to Grimsby and then face Gateshead at home (Gateshead being one of only two teams who's away record is better than their home)

Next Tuesday's game is critical, as another performance/result like last night could put us 6+ points clear as we go into the home straight. You have to say we have the easier run in (after we get this weekend out of the way) but that talk is pointless if we don't take advantage of it.

Anything from the Tranmere game will be a bonus - next Tuesday is the must-win game

of course I may not have taken into account that wivell is Brucies Nurse and gives out his medication each night.
ok onto more serious things
I predicted that Halifax would pull clear shortly.. well they are but only just.. they nearly blew it last night but they do seem to be pulling out of trouble, possibly.
I saw Bromley sliding into trouble with an awful run and I certainly didn't see them going on the decent run but they have and are now feel clear, in fact they could do us a favour and beat Alrincham for us. as long as they lose to us.
It seems I was right about Altirincham and Boring Woof.. they have fallen into the mire as predicted through too many draw and not enough wins to help them out.. well I'm not complaining.
Barrow have pulled clear but i thought Guisely had a growing problem and I was right.. we are above them now..and while we are on the up they are on the down. They haven't won in 10 matches now. and of the last ten. 6 have been draws. they can't buy a win from a car boot sale..with the form they are in i think they will go down even allowing that Boring woof and Allty are already there at the moment. Welling and kiddy are down as far as i am concerned. that miracle is gone for them.
I have a feeling (come in my water these days) that the 2 to go down with kiddy and welling will be Allty and Guisely. Boring woof I think might just scrape through along with halifax. we are on the up and the others now fear us. 2 points a game not only have given us a lot of confidence but a ratio of 2 points per game and thats gonna be enough I think. we will be well clear providing we don't light the blue touch paper and press the self destruct button.. well i never thought i would hear myself saying that a few weeks ago.
Interesting analysis, we have to beat Altrincham to pull us clear . I just want guiseley to be a match of celebration, because the players deserve it.

Yes - dreadful game of football but despite having quite a poor side out there we weren't overly troubled by Braintree.

Fortunately for us, Braintree are on the same frequency of games as we are and are part time - tiredness cannot be used as an excuse. We can win - but we can't afford to play like we did for most of the second half yesterday

Brucie,
I personally think our current form is due to you, my only concern is that you only mentioned winning the next 4 games and not 8!
Could you start a "rose tinted" headed thread called?

WE ARE STAYING UP, I SAID, WE ARE STAYING UP! ..........................please!

There isn't any reason to think we will lose on Tuesday. I think I am right in saying they are part time. They narrowly beat Kidderminster in the week and lost 2-0 at home to Boreham Wood recently.

I don't think there is a great deal of difference between the top and bottom of this league in all honesty. As you say this team bears no resemblance to the one we had earlier in the season.

Didn't we draw up there with an understrength team?

We struggled in parts yesterday, however we should have been 4-0 up at half time and that isn't an exaggeration. Having won yesterday I think there is every chance we might win again on Tuesday.

I'm not sure if we will lose on Tuesday you know.

The team that got us in this mess is not the same team as the one getting us out of it.
I really believe that we wouldn't be in the position we are currently in, if this current team was the one that started the season.

well well Brucie is on the money.. Someone asked when was the last time we won 4 on the trot. If i remember right.. didn't we win 7 when in league 2. some seasons back. Elliot Benyon was in the side Im sure.
So we have won 4 on the trot. I think we might lose on tuesday.. Not that I am doing a Brucie. But Braintree are on an incredible run and we will do well to get a point.. that said I hope its not going to dent confidence. Its not expected to beat the top sides. But we have plenty of teams in the run in at or near the bottom to beat to keep us safe. so far so good. Let's see what we can do on Tuesday night. even a good performance will do for me and if we get a point I will be over the moon. any more than that and I will probably pass out.

Good post. One match at a time ..... let's concentrate on Braintree on Tuesday night. Having said that, we all know how the Football Gods work ...... and that final match at Guisley is just beginning to loom large ....... :-/
