It will be a stay of execution if we are still in with a chance on the last day. I suspect even if it gets to the last game we’ll need a win and results elsewhere to go our way.

The odds are stacked massively against us. The Walsall result has just about ended it really.

End of the day there's a reason us Harrogate, Crawley and Newport are down there. Its because we aren't very good. Anything can happen, its a lottery from here. I just pray we are alive to make a go of it on the last day

Assuming the bottom three get nothing today next weeks game should fill HS.

Certainly feasible.

The Newport game could come with a health warning for us seniors - do we have a defertiliser?

Newport have already sold all seat tickets for the game with only terrace tickets left

A) That won’t happen
B) Nah, we are (even more) crap when big crowds turn up

There is certainly an arrogance there "if we cant beat barrow at home then we dont deserve to go up" ordinarily i'd say 'dont underestimate us' etc and use those sort of quotes to motivate the team but sadly I probably agree with them.

And we’ve long said if we can’t beat the teams around us Harrogate, Newport, Crawley etc. then we don’t deserve to stay up. I expect us to lose today and relegation be all but confirmed but it won’t be today that relegated us, it will be the inability to beat teams in and around us, those last minute goals and inability to hold out. All thanks to decisions and non decisions made back last summer and ever since, January being the month that really killed us.

Still hopeful rather than resigned.
Come 4.50pm approx, we still need to be attached to the pack

I feel calm as anything this morning. I might be different at 3pm.

Accepted it last week - am already looking forward to next season.
A case of taking a step back to move forward maybe.

A defertiliser would be an interesting to the heart!

Trying to be clever and missed out a key word! “Interesting shock to the heart”…

At least Tranmere are doing their bit to stay in the mix

We took a step back in 1972, no thanks
