League 2 Relegation fight

[Walter]

1 win in 12 for Hyderabad. Not ideal that. Considering Southend look like theyve started to pick up a bit, certainly since we beat them.

Cant get my head around them doing that and going for Phil Brown. Hasnt he just had an absolute disaster at some crappy club in India?

Brown is Southends equivalent to Rudge,it's the last throw of the dice for them.

Even if he was the equivalent to Rudge, which he isnt, I still dont think it makes that much sense.

Colchester will still go bust. That guy is another Essex side boy.

Colchester 2-0 down to Oldham, Southend closing in ?

5-2 final score and a lifeline for Southend tomorrow?

Southend beat Crawley who are ideal opponents at the moment then Colchester are in deep, especially playing Southend in a couple of weeks time.

Colchester host Walsall before the Southend tie but then have a tough run in the last three games.

Southend lose today against a poor form Crawley side then you’d feel probably they haven’t enough to capitalise on Colchester.

As for Vale although tiny chance of the drop we could mathematically be safe as early as today.

If we beat Morecambe and Southend fail to win coupled with Grimsby being defeated at Bradford then we would be officially safe.

No need for us to worry at all now. The fact Colchester play Southend means it even less likely. 

Remarkably William Hill have us at 150/1 to go down. It would need everything possible to go wrong. To me it should be 2500/1 easily. 

It's just not in the equation we are as safe as houses now.

I noticed the 150/1.....

 

Hardly generous is it!!?

 

Colchester just 11/4 for the drop after last nites 5-2 thumping & I hope Southend survive...

With goal difference Southend need to win 5 of 6 and Colchester to catch us need 3 wins and draw from 5 as they play each other’s points will be dropped there.

Grimsby need what 5 wins and 2 draws from 7

That’s assuming we’d lose every game so poor odds although there is always the Vale fan in me that will stress until it’s impossible!

We have more chance sneaking in the play offs than getting Relegated.

Only natural when it's your team I've been exactly the same. 

We're even 4 ahead of Mansfield with a game in hand too. 

I'd say 2 from 3. Grimsby remarkably unbeaten in 7 but 1-6-0 won't keep them up.

Depending on today's Southend result Colchester v Southend could be humongous in 2 games time .

I'll stick with Southend and Grimsby as others have points on the board.

Walsall and Colchester will be glad to crawl over the line

Relax everyone,Vale are safe🤔

Even though imo we have no chance of that i had 2 quid on us at 500/1 a couple of weeks ago,just a shame Bolton didn't beat Newport last week
