With our match being put off today. Will things go for us or against us. With 45 mins odd now played things seem to being going for us at the moment. But as we know, it can all change in a heartbeat.
Just to summarise. Northampton and Rivers are losing. most of the rest are drawing. Portsmouth and Mansfield are winning. But they are well above us. The others are drawing. except Bury who were due to play us.
I think having accy and Wyccy drawing would keep both in touch with the bottom. The others need to lose and we are still in with the chance of getting out of the bottom two sooner rather than later.

I wouldn't have said Mansfield and Portsmouth are 'well above us'. If they both win today wins for us in our games in hand over them would put us equal on points with both of them.

Yeah I take your point but we are on 29. they are on 35 as it stands. That is a 6 point gap. The problem is although we have games in hand. We do have to win them or it's a moot point.

Of Stuff it. Rovers have equalised against Oxford.. Hope they don't score a winner.

Not to concerned about Rovers, been expecting them to pull away from the bottom since I saw them at our place, looked a very good side. I am expecting relegation to be between us, Exeter, Wycombe, Portsmouth, Northampton, and maybe one late surprise dropping out of midtable, right now most of the results are going our way. Also expecting bury to pull clear currently 4th in the form table with 11pts from their 6 games.

Last gasp ECFC equaliser is better for us than either of the teams in that match. AC Cobblers spend a fortune in a week and get beaten at home by Plymouth who are now 10th (a fact which epitomises just how abysmal the division is this year. I've seen better sides relegated in years gone by). **** Mansfield manage to beat Southend, who hadn't dropped points since the late 14th Century. York fail to score for the 747th home game in a row yet remain 1000 points ahead of us having shared a stalemate with Chelts whose last win inspired the writing of a Shakespeare tragedy. Wycombe and Accrington do their best murder/suicide impression by sharing a similar goalless affair.

All in all, it looks like a lot of sides doing their best to go down. Perhaps they want to drop to get a better standard of football?

A good day for us. Our game in hand over the clubs immediately above us is against the only side officially worse than us. Win it and we're (rightfully, in my view) out of the bottom two at the probable expense of Bristol "Legends in their own Lunchbox" Rovers. Happy days.

Matt.

I fully agree, results today have pretty much gone to plan, the most important was Northampton losing at home to Plymouth, new manager, new signings, new hope, the last thing we wanted was for them to win and build confidence/momentum of their own, win for Tuesday could have the effect of pretty much sending them down, 1 placed booked, only 1 place to avoid.

Alan Nil strikes again !! Thanks Argyle
