Well, that was disappointing. But we'll win at Carlisle so I'm not too worried.

Have I missed something or are we precisely the same distance clear of relegation as we were Saturday night, but with one game less to play?
My worry is thus - 48 points are not generally enough to stay up. Our last three games are tough, a long trip north, a local derby and a game against the probably promoted Peterborough. And aren't we minus Greer and HRK for the last one? Basically, I wanted the points before Rovers and Peterborough. Which leave us with one hell of a crunch match Saturday. Still it would be like us to lose the next two and win the last one! |

Some of the fans in the DRS are idiots that don't deserve a club to support! Some of the things shouted at the top of their voices were unbelievable.
Timlin and Greer worked their arses off today and at least looked like they cared, not too many others looked interested enough for me, maybe Paynter and a few other in fits and spurts. I can't wait until this season is over, I am getting sick of it now.
The final whistle of this season can't come too soon IMO, I just hope we do enough to stay in Lge 1.

This is going down to the last day. I don't think there was much between the teams today apart from the goal. In fact I believe we created almost all the chances** (and squandered most of those). The team only played 2 days ago so I guess that's why they seemed to be jogging for 90 minutes. What concerned me the most today is that we do not win enough second ball and the fact that when we do chase the second ball there are usually 2 players getting in each others way. Please, please, please keep the ball on the floor! **Just checked the stats....we had 15 shots to there 5 (8 on target  ) and 11 corners to there 2. Oh well, Carlisle next. |

We're 2 points better off than in 05/06, when we only picked up 2 points from the last 3 games...which saw us down...even if we'd won one of those we'd have gone on GD. That season though all the sides had played even games...it is possible that 48 might be enough if the others implode, but most likely, 50 will be the minimum requirement, and rely on goal difference. |

Given today's results today wasn't a disaster at all. In fact we would be safe if we'd have won. Shame but that's football. Beat Carlisle though and we are sorted bar a miracle. I honestly can't see Northamptin winning both of their games in hand to catch us.

I know what you mean, but given that it was frustrating today I thought the crowd held back (for most of the game) from that obvious groaning,that begins as soon as one of the players makes an error (so usually after 2 minutes). |

I don't mind the moaning, I'd expect it, but you don't need to scream out at the top of your voice "insert name here" you are shit, why don't you fuck off! I get hacked off as much as the next man, but I don't shout abuse at the players at the top of my voice. It does nothing beneficial. People need to look up the word supporter in the dictionary. |

Was a frustrating game.We played ok but just didn't take any of our chances.Its the first game i've seen this season where the ref has given more or less everything our way[not that it helped],was the most entertaining element of the entire 90 minutes. I just hoped we'd build on the great result from Saturday but it didn't happen and we're back having to worry about it again now.Another massive game coming up,why do they have to put us through so much pain  Thankfully i've got plenty of Easter eggs and a Nick Drake cd on so i'm more serene than i should be! |

Its far from all over but I think its going to have to take a good run of form (ie 2/3 wins) from one or even two teams to drag us down.

Fact of the day: Nick Drake wrote a few of his mega hits in the pubs of Marlborough.
I couldn't tell you which song, nor which establishment.
