We have -
Crawley - Winnable but not easy match
Grismby - for me a must win ! But don't lose !
Stevenage
Newport
Colchester - in free fall and we could be above them (even after Crawley game)
Carlise - playing as bad as Colchester atm!
Exeter - very tough match (top goal scorers)
Leyton orient
Port Vale
Im hoping we are safe by this stage of the season as we have Tranmere, Forest green, Exeter away and Southend at home !

Obviously 1 game at a time and we all hope a few teams around us keep dropping points.
Its gonna be a nervous few weeks but 6 points in these next 2 games would help !!!

The quality of our play was shocking, aimless hoofs forward, firing balls at chest height to Quiggley and Kay and expecting them to control them. Just playing Kay alongside Quiggley smacks of desperation, Josh is not a striker!
Kelly must coach the defence to "play the channels" because that's all Thomas & Jones do, and that is often done badly.
This is not a great squad but I do think we'll limp over the line and stay up but out of the whole squad I'd only keep Dixon, Davies, Banks and possibly Brough. Some re-building to do.

Or they are saying gut feeling they think we will get over the line - being as optimistic as possible. Me I'm one minute hopeful (not confident) & next minute in the depths of despair - today being the latter. Got to have a bit of luck like we got in our four match winning run but agree we also need to play better and get Quigs & Kay in the game more when we play them up front. Why should RK say we were awful and deserved to lose to the press and the wider world? Say what you need to say behind closed doors not to us. I certainly got the impression from yesterdays interview he was a frustrated man & the refs attitude after the game didn't help. Glad we have a 6 day gap between the next onslaught of games.

If Kelly is frustrated it`s his game plan and whilst people think having a back 3 makes you stronger it doesn`t , you need to press teams we are not doing that (midfield not energenic enough) and defence sitting too deep , this invites teams to attack and the grimsby game proved this, they nicked a goal and then you have to chase the game , change personnel and then it`s desperation time , yes against cheltenham etc it worked and we have had a lot of luck but we really have to start winning and i can understand why kelly is playing this way but sometimes you have to bite the bullet if it goes wrong then hey at least we were proactive !

I just hope we try to beat colchester but i`ve a feeling it will be "as you were ".

Looking at other teams fixtures esp Colchester playing Bolton then us. 6 points would be fantastic at getting us up the league. I'd take 4 points this weekend tbh. Got to get points on the board esp now. I really don't want to be in the bottom 2 come monday 5pm !

I really think he is trying to get as deep into games as possible at 0-0 and then make positive changes to go on and win the game. Its failed miserably as a tactic last two games because if we concede first we are in trouble.

Just as he looks at the opposition for the next game, they look at us. They see the tactic of playing for a 0-0 and have developed a way of countering it.

We are too predictable.
