Wigan, Exeter, Wycombe, Cambridge. They’re the games. We sort of need 8-10 points from them. 

Burton have Oxford, Stevenage, Cheltenham, Reading, Fleetwood. They’re absolutely dog at the minute. 

Cheltenham have a horrendous run in: Orient away, Carlisle, Gas, Burton, Lincoln, Posh, Stevenage. 

We will win our 3 home games 💪🏻 We have too 😂

Just feel the fact Cheltenham have a game in hand plus Carlisle and Burton to play makes the great escape highly unlikely. 

Burton Vale Fleetwood Carlisle. 

Today hasn't defined the season but Shrewsbury and Cheltenham doing the double over us and the 2-2 v Fleetwood certainly has.

The loss to Carlisle didn't help either .

My iFollow would not work so put burton on they were absolutely dire there down 

It’s us or Cheltenham 

Moore v Clark it’s going all the way

It says it all that the 3 sides in the relegation dogfight with us have beaten us.

Carlisle 93rd minute winner. Fleetwood 93rd minute equaliser at home after a 3-0 dicking away. Losing to Cheltenham from a winning postion, twice.

At least we saved some money in January though, eh. Penny wise pound foolish.

Or Lincoln and Posh rest players as confirmed in play offs and Stevenage not bothered as can't make the play offs by game 46

Not bothered about the second goal. Caught on the counter chasing the game it’s the chance you take. First goal is a different story.

As it happens Cheltenham losing late on means it could be worse. We still have a chance but really need to go balls to the wall against Wigan now.

Got to second the comments about the away atmosphere, that was really bad compared to Burton.

A direct shoot-out with Darrell Clarke is likely.

I don’t get the attitude that things are positive because of other teams results. We lost ourselves. That game was a perfect opportunity to get a point at least.

Yes bang on. It's delaying the inevitable I feel.

Forget the 2nd goal as we'd pushed up in search of an equalizer but that game rested on Pinnock took his chance and Uche didn't, add to that we missed a number of other good chances.

Football is so frustrating but we are where we are. 

It's not over 'til the maths say it is.

The Samaritans are awaiting your calls.🙄

[JoeB2]

On a final note, I really don’t think we were that poor today.

Daft goal in the last minute when everyone was forward aside, we didn’t really concede many chances and had enough to probably get a point at least.

They’ve won 10/21 at home and are a really decent side with three strong centre halves and nice attackers like Hoskins and Pinnock.

I don’t think we were significantly worse than we were against Burton, just against a better side. 

Go again Saturday. 

[Brian Johnson]

We will beat Wigan on Saturday and then Exeter the following week

Yes we did orate in patches but we are toothless in front of goal that's why we are  where we are , players passing instead of having a shot on goal , some of our players are clueless when they get in the final third
