Not quite Chicken counting time yet though Dav ??.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Also the Torquay v Barnet game postponed today is re-scheduled for Tuesday

All games in hand

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Daggers back in the mix big time, with Aldershot and York to play. Winning either or both of those helps us, losing both leaves them on 51 - better GD than us but we should be good for one more point at least .....

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

and torquay will have had three days less rest due to the changed game

didnt see the york result happening today though!

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Good fun, this!
I have looked again and again. I am sure that 51 is enough, in fact i was sure that the 48 we had before friday would be enough (not so sure now though)
York's results have been very good lately which puts our draw there last week in perspective. On the other hand Torquay and Wimbledon have suddenly lost their way.
Wimbledon would have been looking for 3 points yesterday and will be despondent after only getting a draw. Next week they are away at gillingham with fleetwood at home last day. I don't see them winning either game
Torquay's postponement will have raised the anxiety of both them and Barnet. Tuesday's rearranged game is must-win for both teams. I think whoever loses that will go down

As for us, 6 points from the last 2 games SHOULD leave us safe, but then again.....

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

If we were to get those 6 pts, Should is not the word CAN'T.:D

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

No doubt Stanley would have been well safe if Coley had come back as DAV007 wanted:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::D

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Except that every chance Fleetwood have had to do us a favour hasn't happened ................they've lost at Aldershot, Barnet and Plymouth, so a win at Wimbledon isn't a given .......................

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

We can't seem to shake our relegation rivals off,We win they win, we draw they draw!:( Looking at Friday's win it was vitally important after Saturday's results,and especially York's win at promotion chasing Northampton!:eek: Being pessimistic i can't see us getting anything at Bristol Rovers therefore it'll go down to the last day with us needing 1 point to secure our league place. Will we get that point??:mellow8:

BBC Sport - Football League: Battle to stay in League Two



"League Two clubs receive around £665,000 from TV money and Premier League handouts each year.Compare that to the meagre TV funds available in the Blue Square Bet Premier. In the 2010-11 campaign, home sides received £5,000 and away teams £1,000 if their game was screened live."


:eek:Yet some seem to think that Stanley would be better off in the conference?

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Have to disagree yon Sats results were not bad at all fer us. I will also be surprised if we get owt at Bristol, But personally don't think that will matter.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

York getting a win at the Cobblers is making me look slightly over my shoulder. A defeat, as expected, would have left them a little bit adrift. I think it's going down to the wire....my ticker cannot be doing with this.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

if it goes down to the last game against oxford that would be eerie:eek:

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

yes. Ian Dunbavin will be substituted on for a sent off Rachubcap. 10 man Stanley will equalise in injury time from a corner and it will be the one armed Dunbavin who will have his Jimmy Glass moment. 600 Clayton Enders will invade the pitch in ecstatic celebration and subsequently receive 3 year banning orders.

League 2 games will be played behind closed doors next season

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Sod it!! I'm on the pitch as well, if it happens like you describe it!!:D

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Torquay and Plymouth leading

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

No favours from Paul Cook tonight; losing 2-0 at home to Plymouth!

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Don't want to be the merchant of doom, but they way the results keep going for the bottom clubs, it is quite possible that we could be bottom going into the final game.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Southend winning at Aldershot...

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

As things stand, Aldershot won't overhaul us with 2 games left. I think they can be written off, but as it stands, a point of Saturday against the Pirates will see us safe I believe.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Sack the snake Chesterfield - if they cannot beat a team like Plymouth, they don't deserve to get a chance of promotion.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Aldershot can still get out,
they have Dagenham at home which you would expect them to win,
but then they have Rotherham away, and Rotherham will be desperate for the win to take the last automatic playoff place.

AFC Wimbledon should have it easier, they play Gillingham at home which you would expect them to win with Gillinghams minds on league 1.
And Fleetwood away, but it looks as if Fleetwood wont make the play offs

Barnet have it easier, home to Wycombe although Wycombe have found some form of late. Northampton away last game, which you would expect them to be able to get a point from.

York have Southend who are doubtful for the playoffs at home, and dagenham with nothing to play for away.

Torquay have morecambe away, and Bristol Rovers at home, you would expect them to find 3 points from one of those games putting them on 52.


Encouraging for Stanley, Bristol Rovers look further away from the play offs and there hopes of getting promoted are over.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

How do you work out Dagenham have nothing to play for ? Lose their last 2 games and they could join Aldershot

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

I was wondering about that Dave. Dagenham are on the same points as us.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Gillingham only need a draw against daggers to be Champs though.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

I still believe 51 should be enough, thus I wouldnt expect Dagenham to be playing with to much pressure

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

They can still go down getting at point at Gillingham. All down to the last game :)

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

You'd think so but the results at the bottom over the past few weeks have been anything but predictable.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Yeh point i was making should be a bit easier fer em to get summat outa the game,Like davo i think 51 should do it, only thing though is anyone can beat anyone in Div2 on their day, The league is that tight this season, so can see yer point as well dave.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

With the results that have happened over the past few weeks I reckon not only will it go down to the last game, it will go down to injury time in one of those games :D

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Squeaky bum time! So difficult to predict results at this time of year, especially in this league this season. I think Aldershot will occupy one of the places and at the moment, the other place is too close to call, especially looking at remaining fixtures with so many games having a real bearing on places at top and bottom of division.

I think a team will be relegated with 51 points, so not time to relax just yet.

Given how many teams are involved in relegation struggle and looking at points totals (there's not that much between relegation and playoffs) just shows what a competitive league it's been this year.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

I think the Shots are doomed.Personally, I only see a point in total being their return from both games for Aldershot. Two games against sides desperate for points for differing reasons. And they're (the Shots ) woefully out of form.

Personally, if I was a Womble..... I'd be worried.:o

Gills will want to wrap the title up. Needing one point, I think they'll want it wrapped up to enjoy their last game, which presumably is at the Priestfield. I'd imagine they'll have a decent following at that game too.

As for their game against Fleetwood, I can't see Alexander or his loaded chairman being too happy for some of their lads just to roll over. I think the Fleetwood lads will be playing for their futures, as I'd expect the Cod botherers to be splashing some cash around in the summer.

So, as with the Shots, I'd be surprised if Wimbledon get anything more than a point from their final two games.And their horrendous goal difference is a big handicap at this stage of the reckoning.

Another side who will be very worried. More so after losing a crunch game tonight. Although their final games have more of an air of unpredicatability than any other side's final fixtures.

Wycombe ....not a lot to play for. Mathematically safe, they may relax for the Barnet game, who knows???:confused:

As for Barnet's game against Northampton.... Whilst the Cobblers may be desperate for a win to get them into the end of season lottery, they are a side bang out of form. Limping towards the finishing line. Again, I wouldn't like to call the outcome.:confused:

So, on that evaluation, I think Barnet might come out with three points from one of those games.

Now a week or two ago, I'd have said they looked Conference bound. They hadn't won in something like 15 games. Though they seem to have woken up to the alarm bells.:(

I think the Minstermen will stay up. I can see them getting three, or possibly four points from their final two games.

The Gulls might just get away with it. Id agree, they'll probably find a result in one of their final two. They're playing two sides with not much to play for other than pride.

The Gulls winning tonight will have given them a shot in the arm and renewed vigour. And again I think they'll pick up a win from their last two games.

As for Stanley....I think we need a point to make sure we get safe, three from the last two will make sure mathematically and six points, well that should be Leam's ( & the lads aim ):)

So on that reckoning, I'm saying ( optimistically ) we'll be safe with 52 points and the Shots will be joined by either Wimbledon or Barnet.:D

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

I see. Hope you're right that 51 points will be enough. But I think and hope that Stanley can get more points.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

FWIW....

Forget it, trying to be clever but my attempt to paste a bit of Excel screwed up :(

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Most agree that Aldershot are gone but after that, even Plymouth could go if the crazy results keep happening but all will be sorted come Saturday at 4.45 MAYBE.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

What happens if we get beat about 4-0 at Bristol on Saturday and the others around us win?!:( Can someone please reassure me as i'm feeling a bit nervous about all this.:eek:

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

there's still plenty of possible ways up or down, we could win and still go down we could get beat and be assured of staying up barring a heavy goals turnaround. I think what screws it up for these last two games is the absence of those around us playing each other.

There's probably a 90% chance that we go into the last game still unsure - should put a few on the gate!

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

So many permutations but the only one that matters is looking after what we do four points or six points from our two remaining fixtures and the main thing is destiny is in our own hands.

The way we have played and results gained I certainly would not write us off at the Gas on Saturday be happy with a point but why not all three?

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

I think a point would be an ok result because:

If we get a point Aldershot can't catch us.

If we get a point and Barnet lose, both Barnet and Aldershot can't catch us.

If we get a point and Wimbledon lose, they can only get to level points with us, and their goal difference is much, much worse.

The same goes for York and Torquay, but their goal difference is much better.

But, if we win I reckon we'll be safe because all four of Torquay, York, Wimbledon and Barnet would need to win for us to need to get a result in the last game.

I reckon we're very nearly there!

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Sorry Potter , nice idea but too many IFs for me . I will just wait to see what happens this Sat at Bristol , then look forward to Sat wk against Oxford and keep my fingers very tightly crossed. Then all being well , we remain in Lg 2.

At this stage of the season, no-one can doubt that we're nearly there; the only question that remains to be answered is where 'there' will be.

Re: Relegation rivals results
 

Potter is correct. It is straightforward:

If we win, we stay up with a game to spare.

If we draw, we stay up with a game to spare if Wimbledon lose.

Anything else and it depends on the Oxford game.
