    Its not impossible just unlikely.

    5 games to go, form on last 5

    stanley in last 5 they have 1pt
    wycombe in last 5 they have 0pt
    southend in last 5 they have 1pt
    walsall in last 5 they have 0pt

    Hand on heart, I can see Wimbledon denying us in the last game. Would be our luck. This would be typical despite Wimbledon already being safe at that time.

    if the team turns up are the same team from last month win over Peterborough then I think the next 5 are winnable. Unlikely - yes, impossible - no

    I can't knock your enthusiasm, but have some doubts over your sanity ;)
    The Saloon you talk of closed its door weeks ago (Months, more like !).
    We've had our rub of the green - AKA December.
    HOPE vanished against Oxford.
    Reality will finally convince any remainers on Saturday against Brizzle.
    I too think 51 points will be enough - Yet City will no doubt finish on 41 :(

    Technically impossible-no. Completely batshit crazy to even think something like this-yes.

    but look at Rochdale? they did it. Or sorry are doing it and Wimbledon likely to follow. Stanley, Wycombe, Walsall, Southend plus City. Any perm of them 5 plus possibly Scunthorpe. All shit. We need another December now!

    We've already had our 'New Manager bounce' (more like a splodge !!), so our bus has been and gone ........... In addition, we are trailing by 6 points ........ the other clubs are not going to give up so we can catch them, are they ?
    As I alluded to the other day - GB is no doubt just winding the season down, making relegation as painless as possible, in terms of results.

    Last year we beat Rochdale 4-0, Since then Rochdale have accumulated 15 points. 11 were in the last month (6 games). We could do likewise with 5 games, (form does not matter - hunger does, look at Wimbledon) it is possible but highly unlikely that all I'm saying. Basically saying there is no way whatsoever we have chucked it and preparing for league 2. So I agree with @jon@jon its a must win game.

    Will you all give @Bantam Blade@Bantam Blade a break. Nothing is impossible, yes very unlikely given what we have seen this season. No point in saying we are relegated until we actually mathematically down, or even IF. Argggg its catching lol

    fair enough I will. but just think if Rochdale had the same mentality. They gained 15 points in 2019. Now 2 points clear. And were only 1 point above us 6 games ago.

    TBH honest - I think a humbling HOME defeat against mighty Gillingham will confirm our relegation. :(

    Not sure Caddis would have made any difference to the result if had been playing for us. As good and consistent as he has been for us, we still lose nearly every week, including that Walsall game which we should have been able to manage better than the shambles it turned out to be
