Shrewsbury Town: Sc***HORPE UNITED Gillingham Barnsley OXFORD UNITED Coventry City WALSALL i may be rather optimistic but
town badly need to get a win against Sc***horpe gillingham have only lost one game in the last five games so i hope the least we get is a draw Barnsley unbeaten last five games but three draws do well to get a point oxford won there last three games but a -8 goal difference they do concede goals, if town played like they did against doncaster a possible win Coventry there form is a bit erratic win Walsall towns form seems to evaporate whenever we play Walsall i just hope that by the time this game comes up we are safe, draw.

I agree. A win against Sc***horpe is absolutely crucial bearing in mind the next 2 away fixtures. It would release the pressure too.

Hopefully, by the time Oxford come to us they'll be safe. And let's hope they make themselves safe by beating Walsall next week.

It would release the pressure too. we only have a four point gap Burton and fleetwoods back to back wins have cleared them of any danger with only a 6 point gap from 13th Gillingham from 21st it just shows how just a few wins can push you to a slightly safer place . so plenty of squeaky bottom time for us yet.

I wouldn’t say we “badly” need to beat Sc***horpe but we need at least to draw and negate the six point element.
So many teams, so many 6 pointers - I still believe 51 points will be enough for us.

I can't see us getting anything at Barnsley, and also struggling at Gillingham, so the Sc***horpe game is vital if we're not to be right back in the mire by the time we play Oxford at home.

Ideally, yes, momentum and consistency but we’re in a position where we could stumble over the line without them. It’s because so many teams are still involved that there will be so many points dropped. They can’t all get past 50 points and we only need to be ahead of 4. Of course I want us to keep winning but it’s likely to be an up and down scramble for almost everyone in the bottom half.

it may be my mind playing tricks with me but my impression of last season was the league was tougher, fortunately considering how poor we have been this season there seems to a number of poor teams and some teams seem to be in free fall. i just hope we can get some wins and there are four worse teams than us. six teams have lost four out of there last five games all are below town, you cant be complacent with things so tight but winning back to back game will be a move in the right direction.

Hopefully Sunderland will have enough left in the tank to get the three points at Accrington on Wednesday night.

I can't say I've noticed much difference. Barring the odd exception, I can't say I ever do. The standard doesn't vary much overall, I don't think, although obviously there are some dreadfully poor games and many better ones. Last season we were consistently better than the average, but not by much. This season we've been consistently below the average but, again, not by much. The league itself? More or less the same standard, I'd say.

If Walsall beat Oxford, Southend beat Posh, Rochdale beat Accrington (Dale have their game in hand on Saturday which is v. Sunderland), Wycombe beat Pompey, Wimbledon beat Accrington and Sc***horpe beat us on Saturday then it all changes and we will be one point off the drop zone with 5 games left. Whilst it may be unlikely that all our rivals win on Saturday, it shows that if we slip up ourselves it puts all the pressure back on us and perhaps those journalists might want to revise their opinions. If we beat Scunny then I think we will be alright. A draw would be ok. But lose and we are right back in it.

The results of their voting Surprised there is so few votes for Accrington given their run in and the fact that they are in free fall.

Accrington 0 Sunderland 2 HT
I've always had a lot of time for them as a club but if it's us vs them then there is only one winner, sorry Accy.

A huge game.

Barring the usual Town cock-ups..... Red card ? (the chief culprits for yellows seem to be dodging major mistakes.....or getting subbed in time) Slow reacting keeper (he's having a break) Clumsy and clunky central defenders ( improving of late, Waterfall has been all season, Beckles is getting his confidence back, Williams looks too good for this level already) Inexplicable tactics from the manager (at last appears to have found the right formations for his ability - limited squad ) Misfiring strikers (Fey has scored at last! ......so is now bang in form and should go on a run ? Someone else also overdue to score ?) Lightweight left backs (playing further upfield so less of an issue) Whalley? everywhere except in the right place (almost sorted.......just needs a goal or assist.....and to stop taking corners! Please.) Moaning crowd - sections of (appear to have calmed down now that they can see some sort of a plan) and......'return of the ex'. I make it only Tom Eaves from those 6 teams and it won't matter even if he scores as Gillingham's defence is more porous than the EFL 's criteria for fit and proper club owners.
So having reduced most of the liabilities dragging us down, we should just be left with our strengths ? We do have some. Meaning 4 wins and two draws, or better, from these last 6 games. Scoring a minimum of two per game - Barnsley are the only ones with even half a defence and we took that apart last time.
COYB.

Saturday is a huge game for us. Because of what happens if we win, and because of what happens if we lose. A huge game. Every game left is of importance, but I agree with you about this one. Win, and we could be 5 or 6 points ahead of the bottom 4 and only needing a couple of points (if that) from our last 5 games. Draw, and we'll need to win at least one more game to be safe. Possibly another draw too. Lose, and Sc***horpe go above us and we then have 2 very tricky away games at Gillingham and Barnsley.

A winnable home game. Another six pointer. A chance to be 'almost'safe. A chance to maintain momentum.
Not officially a 'Must Win'game but we really must win it.

This is the game that could spring board us to near safety. Looking at how poor the runners and riders are behind us I think we can probably do it win or lose.

Updated. And I've taken Oxford off the list. 52 points should be more than enough!

Accrington could do both themselves and us a favour by beating Rochdale and Walsall at home in their next 2 games.
