Last chance saloon for a Play-Off push from us, handy three points to confirm they are safe for Crawley: got to be a draw because both teams would like to win.

Think it will be a fairly low key affair to be honest, small crowd too after our heavy defeat at Pompey midweek and our club seemingly stating the season is over and we are looking to next season from now on.

So less than 4,000 home fans and a drab 1-1.

For the first time all season I will be missing a home game simply because I can't be arsed.
The few home games I've missed this season have had valid reasons, Daughters birthday (Hartlepool),away visiting family (Leyton Orient) etc but tomorrow sadly not.

Edit: slight excuse is I've forked out best part of £600 on my car in the last 2 months so spending another £23 for me and my lad on a match that I can't get myself up for just isn't gonna happen unfortunately.

Yip, have a feeling a few others might be doing the same, as my initial post intimated, club appears to have given up on the Play-Offs. Strange really with so many teams in the mix, all playing each other most games before the season ends, we could still push ourselves into 7th in my opinion. Three point tomorrow and who knows?

We are not as good as the team that won the reverse fixture. We have lost our way, show no fight and, in the words of Cpl Jones, we don't like it up us.

If Grimsby stand off we will lose 2-1 but if Grimsby put the pressure on it could be a big win for them.

Sounds like our 10 men are hanging on big time for a point, I can see a Crawley winner coming........

Sounds like Crawley could have scored 4 times in the last 10 minutes so I'll happily take a point.

And here is the reason neither side is further up the table. Grimsby should beat an out of form Crawley at home and Crawley cannot get a win when we are right on top.

C'est la guerre, c'est la vie, Sellafield. See you next season.

Reminded me of a conference game to be honest. Second half was truly dire.

Some good play in the first half though. Jones and Osborne are going to be massive players for us next season.
