Its almost impossible to stay up now. Three things happened yesterday, we lost, two of our strikers got red carded, Solihull won.
Our defeat is the least of these because we still have enough games to go safe, but Solihull have made it more difficult by increasing the gap between us and safety. But the biggest blow is the red cards with Healy and romain looking at three match bans we will be down before they are available again.

Five wins may be enough.
If against the odds we manage to be Fylde then the next three games are winnable, even with players suspended. Ebbsfleet will probably be out of play off hope by the last game so have nothing to play for.
Tuesday night is key. Win that and there is still hope.

Healy: two bookings = a one match ban; not appealablePlainmoor78 wrote: 08 Apr 2018, 10:39But the biggest blow is the red cards with Healy and romain looking at three match bans we will be down before they are available again.
Romain: stright red = a 3 match ban unless he has already been sent off once before this season, then it's four; or if twice it would be five...appealable but risking an extra game for frivolous abuse of the appeal system. Might as well go for that to be honest. I don' know what the TV footage will suggest, but from my vantage point on the other side; it looked a nailed on sending off offence as he extended his leg as he made the challenge straightening it before making contact with the sole of his foot.
At least we still have Reid to fill in for Romain.

What is required.A new owner ,manager, and a completely new set of players would be a start

4 games left with a maximum of 12 points available. Presuming we win them all, will take us to 49 points.
If my maths is correct, if Woking win on Saturday (taking them to 48 points) and we lose, we’re down.

What is required -
1. Torquay win our last four games
And two of the following five to occur:
I. Woking have to win no more than one of their last three games (that's actually not unlikely).
2. Barrow win only one of their last five games. (very unlikely)
3. One of Maidstone, Solihull or Hartlepool pick up no than one more point from their last three / four games. (very unlikely)
(I haven't bothered to mention the effect of draws as it's academic anyway).
So lets start looking up the way to Hungerford Town & Canvey Island.
I don't really fancy a final day where a highly unlikely set of results would keep us up, so lets not bother to win the next three - lose to Halifax and start planning for regional football.

We have employed a manager who with the very best backing from the hapless Harrop and Osbourne has contrived to (almost) relegate TUFC to Conference South football. Ironically Owers is already offering contracts to players who can not consistently play to his coaching methods!
To my knowledge Owers has not been in charge of a Promoted team however we ( Harrop and Osbourne) intend to gamble next years Professional footballing budget on Owers achieving this monumental task.
Sack him the moment we get relegated before he does any further damage to our great clubs history!

You mean like they did with the last incumbents with the added addition of paying a NLS club compensation for our current incompetent incumbent .arcadia wrote: 11 Apr 2018, 20:53 To sack a manager under contact for two years and depending if they put a relegation clause in it could cost £ a lot of money.

There’s more chance of my wife growing a pair of bollocks without any medical intervention, then there is of us staying up.
We’ve pretty much been down since the first game of the season.
