We won’t need maximum points to stay up, these sides around us are very poor as wellWe must start winning though the time is dwindling away. We need performance’s that are win at all costs. The players we have there is enough in them to stay up, they have shown it before against Sunderland and other sides.Start playing some football, enjoy it and start working the opposition goalkeeper.Fifteen points to play for, a win in the next one opens the opportunity back up.Someone can be the one who gets us that win.I would go 4-4-2 get Kuleya and Martin out wide, get some crosses in, start running at defenders.
In terms of the great escape analagy, we’ve just found out the motorbike has two flat tyres. And the fence we have to jump is now twice as high.

We must give it everything in these last games but we will have to possibly do the reverse of what we did in April 2017 when we got 1 point from the last 5 games. Even dickos must believe that is fantasy.

Crewe have 3Wimbledon 4Morecambe 8Fleetwood 6.So we have improved, relative to the dross around us, but we were starting from so far back that it still looks like being too little, too late. Looks like we'll need 8-9 points from the final 3 games to have any reasonable chance.
Why do we do this to ourselves?I’ve looked at this fridays key fixtures again.Here is my wish list.Crewe beat wimbledon.Rovers beat Bolton Gills lose at Cheltenham Morcambe lose at charltonFleetwood get beat by Oxford. All of this, with the exception perhaps of rovers are very plausible outcomes. All of the winning sides I propose would be odds on. Except rovers of course.That would leave the table looking like this. All played same amount of games except Fleetwood.Fleetwood 38*Morcambe 38Gills 38Rovers. 36Dons. 35Crewe. 28Fleetwood have a game in hand which is at home to wendies. Rovers could, in theory, be out of the relegation zone come bank holiday Monday teatime. If the planets align. And if they get their shit together against Bolton and Shrewsbury.Edit.just checked odds and Crewe are around 2/1 for their home win, the rest are around even money. Rovers are around 3/1 to beat Bolton.
I think we could beat Bolton, but the team would need to improve again from the performance against Crewe.We were beaten comfortably earlier in the season by them, we couldn’t handle their forwards.We were wide open in midfield when we played them. I think the midfield is a little bit better now with Bostock and Clayton in there.We would need to go for the win, try and get something to defend.At some point they will threaten as they have good forwards. I’m going to stick my neck out and say I think we will keep a clean sheet and beat them 2-0.

I don’t think we would have done anything with fourteen men on the pitch, in the last game against them.It makes no sense to predict for us to beat them. It’s just a feeling I have that we will. It could be an infection though

It could be an infection thoughI thought we were the better team for the first 20-30 minutes.A bad first goal and then a ridiculous sending off then made it a very uneven contest.

Then Olowu got the red that should have only been a yellow at best and the contest was over!
