    Last 5 seasons (excluding covid season) average of 46 points keeps you up. 13 from 13 needed.

    i think we can will do that, plus our goal difference is better.

    With Readings gd being near ours let them escape in the hope they beat both Vale and Shrewsbury. In doing so it then brings Exeter into the mix with a game in hand over them and we play them plus our gd is better. 

    It will be tight but every team at the bottom has tough games. Also Wigan to beat Cheltenham Friday.

    Its in our hands, a win against Pompey would be great but we just need to get to March in not too bad a position because as Curbs always said you have to beat the teams around us.

    See, I think the opposite. I would have preferred Port Vale to have won today & then beat Reading tuesday. They have 3 games in hand on us & very likely to go above us anyway, whilst Reading have played the same amount of games as us. 

    Oh well, not a lot we can do but sit back and watch it all play out.

    But we do need another couple of teams to be in the mix with us. Shrewsbury being one of them. Maybe Exeter as they have played a game more & have a vastly inferior GD to us. Others a few places above us have at least a game in hand & 5 points ahead.

    We really do need to.start winning games !

    I think we’ll get something at Derby. They’re not playing all that well.

    Have a look at Shrewsbury's games, the next two, Reading and Lincoln are tough, and it doesn't get easier after that, but I make you right Golfie, we need to win games.

    Totally agree, the difference NJ has made in his short time with us is incredible, some brave decisions with Isted and May.
    Would always rather have points than games in hand and look at our goal difference.
    Stay positive everyone and let’s really get behind the team on Saturday.

    Four aways in March, three aways in the next four games.  Teams around us having games in hand.
    Jones has given us hope BUT still a very worrying period.

    We're going to get trounced.

    Think any club that only achieves 46 points this season will be playing Division 2 football in season 24/25.
    Going to need 50 points to survive this season.

    Port Vale next match is Reading away on Tuesday. One of their games in hand.

    What do you think is the best outcome  ?  A win for PV ?? A draw ?? Reading win  ??

    Normally I'd say a draw. Only 2 points "spent" rather than 3.

    Whoever wins, they need to carry that run on, what we don’t want is teams to be picking up 3 pts here & there.

    Kind of how I feel. Think it will be Carlisle/Fleetwood/Port Vale & Shrewsbury. Not including Leaburn we’ve got 26 first team players on the books. Got to think theirs enough in the squad to get across the line. Surely the front 4 we have ‘currently’ has got to be stronger than any of the teams around us.

    Having not won in 15 games I'd suggest we have problems.
    Portsmouth and Derby will be very difficult to get a win.  March sees 4 aways in 6 games.
    If Jones keeps us up he deserves a massive bonus payment.  Sadly, I cannot see this happening.

    Under Appleton we stank of relegation.
    Now we don't. 
    We may yet, but I think people can see that Jones will make sure his side doesn't surrender tamely.
    Hopefully the winds of change can pick of some momentum.

    Football if anything, is about the vibe, and the vibe around the majority of the support and the team seems to have changed since Reading. We would have lost both games under Appleton, and be proper fucked. No one above is pulling away, and there’s a lot more of a chance of staying up now then there was even a week ago

    No one would be that surprised to see us lose to Pompey and Derby. A result or two for those above  us in that time (with some playing games in hand, so 3 matches); would see us with a mountain to climb. 

    We are deep in the shit and a draw where we let in 3 v a Bolton side missing it's keeper, best CB and best striker doesn't change that.

    We look better, we will hopefully survive but I can't help think fans are getting a bit too carried away. 

    Since Apples was sacked we have played 5 games and got 3 points from 3 draws and 2 defeats.

    Jones new.manager bounce has seen 2 points from 3 games (this is not a criticism, he seems to be instilling some confidence, but it is a fact).

    A sensible dose of realism.
