We'll stay up. No problem with that, but shame we've not got the job done by now. Most important thing is we are in the EFL next season which we will be

Not really done that all season - it's a good point. Even Grimsby, Southend etc seem to be able to grind out 0-0's away from home. We rarely do.
We win or lose lots of games by a single goal, lose mostly. Proves we aren't that bad but also proves we lack anything to get back into games.

Grismby are only team to beat Bolton in months ! Don't for 1 minute think one of these 2 teams won't pull off a shock. We need our own points not hoping everyone else loses

I'll take others' losses at this stage. We've had our own points through the course of the season and they all count to the final tally so even if we stay up now by losing every game, it's still us who've got the required points

And so it is Tuesday night the deciding game in the season for both teams.

You think this game plan will get the win?

based on what? forest Green and Exeter away and a young energetic Southend i wouldn't bet on us getting anything out of those games!
if we go down it's all down to absolutely bad decisions regarding managers and ultimately absolute terrible recruitment we're too old and have no attacking threat apart from Quigs to be honest I'm not at all surprised how we're finishing the season all these Saturday Tuesday games are taking there toll on ageing legs!

Based on the fact that we are currently 6 points clear of relegation with games quickly running out. We would have took this a few weeks back - wish people would have some perspective

There is no way that we can rely on Grimsby & Southend not winning their remaining games.
This is a tight league where anyone can beat anyone. They will also being playing with much more freedom now as the pressure really is off them.
We on the other hand have gone into defensive set up mode looking for a point and not finding it.
Stranger things have happened- look at Forest last year needing a point from their last God knows how many games to make the Playoffs. Losing 1-0 at Barnsley in the 94th minute - as Barnsley needed a win to stay up. Then going into the last game with a 3 point and 6 goal cushion over Swansea. Ended up with an 8 goal swing in the final game and Swansea in the Playoffs.
These things really do happen. Momentum is a massive thing especially when you’ve lost it!
