Yeah! We've finished 17 places lower than we did last year, let's go fucking mental! :lol:

Yeah. That's the weird thing about it. If we do stay up, it's not an achievement worth celebrating or to be proud of, nor does it really help solve many of the problems within the club.

Yes it is - staying up is as good as a promotion


If you're 90 mins away from promotion 12 months prior, it really isn't.

Staying up is more important than promotion.

If we stay up the celebrations will be brilliant. It'll be relief, it'll be exuberance and it'll be a delight it's over.

But we cannot use this as a marketable occasion or a proud day. It can be an 'I was there' day, from a fans pov, but the club can't use this as a great day...

Bet they still do. They'll be rolling out the 2005 comparisons before you can say Gareth Edds.


You’re aware that Sunday is the 18th anniversary of Gareth Edds Day, I take it?

Really? Who would have thought the last day of the season would be on the same day as the last day of the season in a previous year? :lol: ;)

Don't want to put a dampner on this, but our last away win was on 18th March, at Accie.

But hey...COYD :D

Could this be the match where Grigg scores the winner and we say "all is forgiven for your season's showing" :?:

I've said it before, Lewi is due a goal.

The worry with Morecambe is that Cole Stockton appears to have regained his form from last year at the wrong time for us. 5 goals in his last 3 games. At the same time, Exeter will really want to get a result in front of their home fans, especially due to recent poor form and getting thrashed last weekend.

FGR are dire and deserving of their rock bottom position. Cambridge will win that convincingly 3-0+

However, win our game and none of the above matters. It's definitely a good feeling to have it back in our hands.

I didn’t watch last night, but gleaning insights from those who did, Burton are going to be strong defensively and hard to beat. One of those frustrating teams who seem to find a way to either stop you playing or block you when you are playing.

Going to be a tough game.

If we stay up with only four home wins three of which against teams currently below us it shows how poor the bottom end of league one actually is. Port Vale must have been appalling that night Bradley Johnson turned up with 10 minutes left. Not saying I won't be happy but we have to learn from this going forward if we do stay up
