Quite right though although i do think that Saturday is the biggie. If somehow matters contrive to give us a chance of staying up on the last day i feel that would be a miracle in itself. When you think that a few weeks ago we were about 10 points adrift and now we can go into the penultimate game with a squeak it's insane.

I have to say I've given up because i said it a long time ago and I'd look fickle if i changed my mind although there is a tingling i have that isn't an imminent gout attack that perhaps it is all meant to be and it can be done.

I'll be at Mansfield screaming support and hoping.
pop down to the drs you ponce and get some cream for it.

Huge second half at St James Park today. I was sat next to Matt Williams one of the Youth coaches and could clearly see what it meant to him when we scored twice in 3 minutes.

After Dagenham I was so depressed but there is still a glimmer of hope.
Or Northampton draw.

Having started this thread I say "NEVER EVER GIVE UP"

We all know football is full of surprises and I refuse to give up hope. We can still do it. Bury is HUGE. A must win game.

Will be glued to my laptop.

Never Give Up.

After the Bury game at Plainmoor we play the following teams:

Newport (H), York (A), Southend (A), Scunthorpe (H), Bristol Rovers (A), Dagenham & R. (H), Exeter (A), Mansfield (A), and Wycombe (H).

On our day we are capable of beating any of these teams, even Scunthorpe (given that we beat Rochdale who are also in the top three). Most of the other teams we must play are also looking nervously over their shoulders. And it could be that wins in any of our last three games could send opposing clubs down.

So it's certainly still possible for us to win enough games for us to stay in League Two. But the big question is, do we have the bottle, do we (players and supporters) want it enough, do we have enough guts and energy and fighting spirit? Or are we (players and supporters) going to give up too easily and waste our energies in whinging and looking around for somebody else to blame?

We could do that, and meekly resign ourselves to relegation, or: NEVER GIVE UP...!!!

Visits to new grounds up here at Southport, Chester, Alfreton (maybe?) and any two from North Ferriby, Harrogate, Hednesford and Altringham :-/
Southport/Chester fighting relegation. Altrincham just inside playoff spot in Conf north. So let's hope the 1st two stay up and the latter go up. I hate Altrincham it's a horrid away end.

Well spotted .... although I was a little disappointed this week as it took Hector 4 hours and 44 minutes to respond. Normally he is rattling off an indignant reply before I have even posted!

I think it may indicate he is finally coming around to my way of thinking!

Your mention of Mr Harrop and his record was a good one, and is a good indication of how meaningless statistics are. It is a bit of a misnomer that he was manager anyway, as at twenty minutes to three that day he was in the restaurant shaking hands with sponsors, so I think that day we just let the players get on with it. ;-)

have you been on the (D) Lucy?

where in my post did I mention Knill?????

I said that we required a manager with league experience - obviously not Knill seeing as he was fired by the board.

Never Give Up.

At least he is doing well in his new job and must be laughing his socks off!

Would have been on 45 points now if he had stayed. Too late now though.

Oh well. Everybody including our Board with no professional football experience whatsoever knew best. Wonder how many will remember this in 10 years time when we kick off our league season away to Tiverton Town. There probably will not be a single person admitting that they supported the worst decision ever made by the Board of a professional football club.

Still .... life goes on! Up and at 'em next 2 home games and we could be on 39 points only about 5 points from safety with 8 games to go. Scary eh? ;-)
So Stefano, the facts you have been quoted still seem unable to dissuade you that the man who put us in this mess was no more successful than his successor. On the basis of Knill's performance, there is absolutely nothing to suggest we would be up there on 45 points.

Plus - you seem to be giving all the credit for Northampton's 'revival' to Knill. Again, you overlook the role being played by the bloke they actually appointed manager, rather than the one who sets out the cones.

Never Give Up.

some plank on here said that bury would go down - yeah right.
