I think if we lose, there is basically no way we finish above Forest Green. Win and the odds for top 3 will swing, and I'd assume FG would drop out the 3 favourites. We're performing way better than our season average and they're currently doing worse than theirs. If we play like we did...

Haha, no idea who that is, or maybe that's what I would say... I joined up in Jan and posted in Feb. We had turned the corner, but were still way off the pace. But it was starting to get a bit more interesting for us, and unfortunately none of my friend group support a club down here.

It actually seems like run ins won't really matter. There's only Harrogate odds on again at weekend. So bookies think no one else has over 50% chance of winning. Probably comes down to style clashes etc on which games teams win and lose.

Yeah it's not guaranteed. You're not odds on with the bookies, so they don't think it's a formality. But it just looks like if you score, you win.

It's a strange one though. Wigan are in a terrible position and are in with a chance of staying up. They've had players on short term contracts, had to sell the core of their team. Pick up free agents. I think with some continuity there is a base to build on for any promoted team. If you lose a...

Are none of the midfield due back by weekend then? We'll happily have the ball if you allow it, especially to settle into the game. I think half our plan is to tire the opposition out with recycling the play from side to side. We definitely have our vulnerable moments where there is space in...

Hope for something like last week. But can't really see Tranmere and Exeter not winning. You never seem to know with Mansfield, hopefully they turn it on and it's a tiring game.

I had a look on the barrow forum a couple of weeks back actually and there was talk of him. Think I agree with what a few said. Taking us up this year will have been the expectation set on him at the start of the season. I think if he takes us up he still needs to prove it at a more competitive...

Over the last 10, we have made up 5 on Cheltenham, 6 on Tranmere/ Forest Green. 9 on Exeter. 10 on Cambridge We've won 8 drawn 2. I can't see that being repeated in reality.

There seems to be multiple head to heads every weekend for the next few weeks. If anyone does well in them they can probably get the autos. If you're not playing in one you need to win to take advantage. Think we only have Forest Green currently above us, and Exeter who could be above us...

I think 80 has a great chance of top 3 too.

Feel like we should win, Top v Bottom of the form table. We've had the week off too, whereas Walsall had a midweek game. Probably going to be another grind though as they don't make it easy, and no results nailed on as seen in midweek. Need to make it count while other teams play each other too.

Looked like both teams played strong Xi's too. Think it bodes well for promoted teams to know they have a solid base.

Think you're looking for the "who are the top 7" thread...

It's not as though prem teams are exempt too. Leeds have had an awful pitch all season after they had plans to re-lay theirs in summer. Even paid like £500k for spurs turf and that has just had players slipping all over since.

Bookies have it; Cheltenham Forest green Tranmere Exeter Bolton Cambridge Newport Morecambe Salford Carlisle Bradford Crawley Harrogate Exeter need 4 from their games in hand to be level with us, which is effectively ahead given the gd. Probably why they have a slight edge on us in...

It was a well worked opportunity, but I think if you offered him the shot again, without knowing the outcome, he'd have another go. You do see a lot of "hit it too well" shots, where, like this one, worse contact can work out better.

I listened to your commentary and it was a bit strange how negative they seemed to want to be about you. Bolton had passed it round without any real threat and you'd had a couple of half chances. All they could go on about was how Bolton were in control and that we would turn it on. Seemed...

Actually pleased to have the week off now. We looked so off the pace today. Passing was sloppy and definitely didn't deserve to win. The pitch didn't suit, and our alternative long balls went into touch most of the time. Think a draw would definitely have been fair. No great chances for either team.

It's such a tight call. I don't even know what I want other teams to do. Do I want Cheltenham & Forest Green/ Tranmere (or whoever) to win all their head to heads? Everyone to draw them? Trade wins with each other? We still have a few to play, but it would be nice if some have dropped out of...
