Surely Not...

Post by Keith »

Eastleigh:

Yeovil [H]
Altrincham [a]
Tamworth [H]
Scunthorpe [a]

Morecambe:

Carlisle [H]
Woking [a]
Boreham Wood [H]
Forest Green [a]

Even three wins probably won't be enough. But, we go into another game on Monday... You'd expect Eastleigh to pick up one win from those four, which would probably be enough for them.

So how did that work out then?

3 wins for us and 1 for them should be enough with our goal difference.

Given Eastleigh's form, I can believe them only getting 3 more points this season. Sadly I don't see us getting 9 points. If we can at least get the gap down to 3 points and bring it to the final day we give ourselves a chance.

Let’s get Monday over, a hard derby game against Carlisle, it’s about time we beat them.

So let’s give it the same as today. Under Jim we have scored 31 goals in 14 games, so we have goals in us, lets hope we defend for our lives and see if we can nick another win, we are due a home win.

Under Jim though we have only managed 5 points at home, while we have 11 points on our travels.

As it’s been said we fight another day :D

Still a huge ask but win three out of four gives us a fighting chance. Monday is massive for us.

I think realistically we will probably need to win all our remaining games but 3 wins and a draw might be enough. Personally I don’t think 3 wins will be enough to keep us up!

Monday could easily be the deciding games. Both Eastleigh and us at home BUT theirs is Yeovil and ours Carlisle.
Can't decide whether I want to take it to the wire or get it over with. :?

I've thought that for a while, but Jim keeps giving us a sliver of hope.
As Andy says, we have properly failed against teams around us which will cost us in the end

Late Braintree equaliser and two assists for the referee at Gateshead in particular. Four points that will make the difference.

But, yesterday shows we've still got fight in us. I still expect relegation, but...

That’s the TRUTH of it in a nutshell, but we have been doing that for 4yrs since the heady days of our first season in League 1.

Have a horrible feeling this could go somewhat similarly to our relegation from League One in 22/23 - miraculous few wins out of nowhere, then just fall at the last hurdle!

Winning away at Rochdale wasn't the game that was going to keep us up, the previous home games and away at Yeovil were the must wins and the ones that would have made the difference. The performances in these games were sub standard and will cost us.

Football fans live in the moment and yesterday was long over due for the traveling fans!

A fantastic result so a faint hope is still there , dreams of survival won't be popping up in my head until lightning strikes again on Monday , if the results go our way there will still be a mountain to climb!!

Yes, if you look back at this season, some of these really stand out and so many at home :(

MFC 1.1 Braintree
MFC 2.5 Gateshead
Truro 5.0 MFC
Braintree 1.0 MFC
MFC 0.0 Yeovil
MFC 0.3 Boston
MFC 0.2 Truro
MFC 0.2 Aldershot
Yeovil 3.2 MFC
MFC 1.1 Braintree

Yes, but right now we'd all be amazed if we take it to the final game. In fact, I'd take Borehamwood at home relying on other results. Big ask to even get there with three points or less to make up.
