Sincerely believe it is between us and Exeter now. Just got to hope Exeter continue their run of about 1 win in 16. Have to remain positive though.

I really thought we would be safe, but looking a bit iffy now - would be unfair to get relegated on 50+ points !

Ref blew for full time rather than booking their player for throwing the ball away.

Poor performance in the second half

It’s possible that Stockport will take the view that they only need to turn up to win and we will catch them cold and nick a point (or3). Of course it is also possible that we will be so poor that they only need to turn up to win - we shall see soon enough.

Silk - have a look at the fixtures though. We play Stockport Wednesday. This helps…. Exeter. Stockport (and us) only 2 days rest

Five additional minutes. Could be fifty and we wouldn’t have a shot on target. I know we have squad troubles but we look absolutely abject. Can’t kick the ball properly even from dead balls.

*going

With any luck Stockport will go to extra time, get a few injuries and we catch them cold on Wednesday.

So often there is a side which looks safe then goes on a massive dive in form, can’t pull out of it and ends up relegated- we do look uncomfortably as if we could be “that side” this year.

I’m starting to think that it’s good to go to the wire…..

Silk we are being beaten rather easily by Burton. If you look at our fixtures I’d love to know where you think those four points are coming from.

Looking at the expiring contracts and the fact we have to cut our budget if we do not get meaningful investment this summer this will be the type of squad we will have next season albeit with hopefully fit CBs. We may struggle next season if we stay up.

Silk - we won’t get another point I think. It’s all down to whether Exeter get a win

If Burton beat Exeter in a couple of weeks we will only need 4 points to survive. In fact if Exeter lose one of their three matches we need four points. Today is not a killer but we need some defenders back soon.

We’re very poor on the ball this half. This is where JJ needs to be front and centre directing things.

Surbiton - they know it. Just not good enough to do anything about it I fear

Do our players know we are in a relegation battle? No fight. So slow. Burton are doing us and we need to get some pace into this game.

Those 6 points that Exeter took off us in less than 3 weeks in December are starting to look a bit costly

Invisible man coming on

Got to give the subs time to settle in but you have to say we are a clear second best at the moment. Lucky they didn’t score that header to be 2 up.

As it stands we are 20th, just 3 points above relegation and no teams between us and Exeter now. Certainly looking a bit dodgy now.

20th now….

That is relegation level defending.
