Match Thread: Port Vale v Newport County

[valefan16]

Make that 7 as Grimsby and Walsall just called their games off.

[Breadwinner]

No surprise really its minus 1 with that wind its -5 .

Good give the injured players chance get back and for the new man come in before the next league game hopefully .

It is what it is

Puts pressure on us however as although we have played more games anyway we could slip to 18th.

We are going 20th at least when they all catch up so pressure is already on we are just kidding ourselves that it isn't

Not quite sure why it puts pressure on us.
In my view until all teams have played an equal amount of games the the bottom end of our league table is very misleading.
We could end up 21st when everyone else has played out their games in hand.
The pressure on us to actually win a number of games soon is immense but no different today with the postponement as yesterday when the game was on.

Only my personal point of view of course.

Would have put pressure on us had we played and then lost!

The pressure is to get more points than 2 other teams in the league, or 50 points is a useful target. There are plenty of games left, we are recruiting new management which should make the task easier.

It’s in our own hands as you say. Need to get no more than 10 less points than Grimsby and 8 of Southend or Barrow and jobs done so we’ve got the easier task.

Would think 45 would be enough possibly less.

If 2nd bottom carries on their trajectory then 41 would be enough.

Gives the injured players another few days to get fit as long as the players don't play rugby or handball again.

Also gives time for a new manager to come in and start sorting out the players.

Does this assume that all the teams below us take maximum points from their games in hand?  If so, I would argue that for all of them to turn it around is highly unlikely to happen... maybe from one/two teams below us,  but all of them...?

No just 1 point from 2 or 3 games

Dunna let the obvious get in the way of a negative moan !

[Seamus O'Wye]

...cheers dd..... I must confess that after watching many poor performances and with some of the results we have been getting, I have taken little notice of the table...especially of the teams below us. I'm just grateful that Barrow, Grimsby and Southend appear to be too far behind us.... I hope!!

[darren1810]

10 of the 12 games are off with a couple potentially on Sunday.

So let's hope Southend don't win and Bolton v Stevenage Is a draw or home win 

[valefan16]

Ideally Southend lose then we’ve played even games with them at least!
