Is it? Having to virtually win each game in order to survive is pressure

Off our heads are we Southend only need to win 2 games and grimsby 3 games then we are down and it only takes one of those teams to win their last few games and thats it down we go ! So how can we not start worrying.

It is off them at the moment as they are not expected to survive. Granted it will come back as hope kicks in.

Funny how they don't expect to survive but quite a few on here do

All I’m saying is it’s in our own hands. Yes we are still the massive favourites to stay up but we can’t rely on them losing.

grimsby only need 7 points if we don't get any and obviously Southend need to beat us but on present form........... who knows?

Only?

The debate over whether we're safe or not aside, the last three performances have been absolutely abysmal. We're easily the worst team in this division at this moment in time, so there's every reason to doubt we'll get another point.

We managed to pull a winning run from nowhere a few months back, so why can't either of the bottom two?

I think we'll scrape by, but it's a disgrace that we don't even appear to be trying to make it safe.

Aye, only need to get at least 2 wins and a draw from Exeter (A), Cambridge (A) and Port Vale (H). Just about the toughest three games they could have and some on here think they are a cert for 9 points.

I didn't expect us to get anything at Tranmere today, but nor did I expect both Southend and Grimsby to win. Only one of them has to catch us to send us down. Surely, even as badly as we are playing, it isn't too much to expect to get just one point from three games.

it's more than 1 if grimsby win all 3

No matter what happens elsewhere, beat Southend at Holker St next Saturday and it's all over.

that's not a gimme they'll be up for it they're a young side and Phil brown will have them focused ( unless we get something at fgr)

As much as Kelly did well when he first took over he must take some of the blame for recent performances, poor team selection (far too defensive) and failing to make changes when it obviously needs changing, I know he can't do much about the atrocious passing that's down to the players. Devitt when fit should start every game as should banks.

It's not exeter I'm worried about, it's very very feasible that we will lose Tuesday and lose to southend, which is all it would take to take it to the last day, forgetting about grimsby
