Yes of course it can be done. Don’t want to state the obvious, you know yourself what is needed

Score more goals than the opposition.

Serious I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if this team never won another game this season. I hope I’m wrong but I just think they’re mentally shot.

Yeh it can be done but where do our next points come from i dont know with Grimsby Bromley Mk Dons Chesterfield next 4 games 2 home 2 away i hope we take 5 points but realistically we prob pick up 2 no doubt struggling to see where a win is coming from out of these lot though we could get left behind if Newport Harrogate Crawley continue to pick up points and we dont

They will stay focused and close ranks. I would rather not see any more social media posts from the club between now and the end. I don’t want to see Foley hitting top bins from 20 yards in training, I don’t care who’s Birthday it is or the MacDonald story. Just get on with the game.
The fans are shot because it means so much. None of this is going to go easy on us fans. We aren’t going to suddenly win 3 on the bounce.
I am looking squarely at that last game as a decider.

No; we had to rely on the other teams down the bottom also losing and having a chance on the final day, sadly it will be done before that as they keep picking up the odd win

To have a chance we probably need to win two of these games.

Sadly I can’t see where a win comes from

It’s a very sad situation but at the end of the day it’s a game we will have our ups and downs again - the cup runs the big games the hope

We can still stop up but without some wins it’s not going to happen

Totally agree 100% with this.
Meaningless interviews in difficult circumstances are just what we do not need.
Close ranks, fight like crazy in every match, but don't pander to the social media shite.
I know the EFL have some say in it, but if it's mandatory keep it to the absolute minimum.

Don’t forget Newport still to play Crawley and Harrogate. They can’t all win and any outcome in these games takes the season on another twist.

I see some hope if Whitfield can get fit and we have him and Barkhuizen on the wings with Rose in the middle. We need a bit more in midfield maybe Smith isn’t too far away or Williams can go in there.

We just lack in too many areas though and looking at our run in you struggle to see where the points will come from given we’ve had our so called easier games where you were looking to get points from.
I see more effort tonight certainly than last week against Bristol barring Mahoney, criminal that he’s in the squad and came on for Barkhuizen.
Time to give Stanway a rest too I think big decisions and big changes needed. Change nothing and nothing changes!

We don’t stay up now.

We’re finished.

National League awaits.

I’m being realistic. You’ll see the same come May.
