Thanks for taking the time to do that. 

Hadn't really given them a lot of consideration previously but that run-in doesn't look kind to Portsmouth....

If I was to pick two difficult run-ins it would be those of Portsmouth and Exeter. Ironic really......at this stage last year it was the teams in 21st and 22nd who ended up going down......thew bottom two escaped. History repeating itself??

Cheers for this, I can see this will be the most opened thread ever Grin.
Some of my observations;  Our games against the teams not in the relegation area will be our easier games Imo,
Most of these will be already 'on the beach' with many opponents players resigned to looking for different clubs.

The game against Oxford should be against a team already in the playoffs that want risk unnecessary injuries and will lie down for us.

If only..

Thanks Grangey, good thread. It's all in our own hands though really, let's hope we get a response to Tuesday's shambles this Saturday. We have to trust Wilder to sort it out. Personally I would give Ben Tozer a go, and give the Spanish lad a start up front.

After last night's loss, Newport should be added to the list....you usually get one team that drops like a stone and it looks like it could be them...

Accrington Stanley v Plymouth - home win
Bury v Dagenham - draw
Exeter v Fleetwood - away win
Mansfield v Chesterfield - away win
Portsmouth v York - away win
Torquay v Newport - draw

I see AFC Wimbledon as the side that will go to s***. Even we will beat them on Tuesday.

Well this week everybody appears to be away bar us and most look like very difficult ties. If ever there was a chance to make up the difference, this will be it.

Surprisingly Exeter and Wimbledon were the only teams to take full advantage of their home games today, beating Fleetwood 3-0 and Cheltenham 4-3 respectively. Wimbledon are now out to 20/1 to go down.......with 47 points and probably only another 5 or 6 points needed from their last 8 games they look almost safe.

Tuesday nights games are.....

Burton  v  Wycombe
Dagenham  v  Accrington
Fleetwood  v  Bristol Rovers
Hartlepool  v  Mansfield
Newport  v  Bury
Northampton  v  Wimbledon
Plymouth  v  Exeter
Rochdale  v  Portsmouth
York  v  Torquay

It'd be great to get to 3rd bottom - seems like every team who's been in this position is guaranteed a win.
