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

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.

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

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.

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.

And Fleetwood away, but it looks as if Fleetwood wont make the play offs.

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

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???

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.

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.

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

[Chimer]

FWIW....

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

[ossy kid]

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.

[winstanley asfc]

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.

[maccawozzagod]

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!

[Pendle Red]

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?

Believe?? And here's me thinking you were interested only in facts!

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!

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.
