    The games that matter to us today are:
    • Crewe vs Morecambe
    • Newport vs Mansfield
    • Salford vs Gillingham
    • Swindon vs Harrogate
    • Walsall vs Doncaster
    • Wrexham vs Accrington
    None of the games have 2 teams that are in the 5th/6th place off fight so hopefully wins for Crewe, Mansfield, Salford, Swindon, Doncaster and Wrexham.

    Currently with 35 minutes played the only team that we don't want to win that is winning is Walsall with Morecambe & Accrington losing. If Accrington lose today I think that probably rules that out of a race.

    Wrexham 4-0 Accrington

    We will almost certainly move up a place now.

    8 points behind playoffs at half time, turning out to be bad afternoon for City.

    Half time scores

    • Crewe 1-0 Morecambe
    • Newport 0-0 Mansfield
    • Salford 0-1 Gillingham
    • Swindon 0-0 Harrogate
    • Walsall 1-0 Doncaster
    • Wrexham 4-0 Accrington
    Even split of results with 2 good, 2 OK and 2 bad. The 2 bad ones are probably the worse 2 for us as it now puts us 8 points from 6th & 7th win 2 hand on them both which would leave us with a lot of work to do and needing to beat at least 1 of them when we play them.

    Absolutely agree. With Wimbledon winning earlier and Gillingham and Walsall winning at half time, our season very much looks doomed as we stand

    Harrogate now winning as well and with Wimbledon winning earlier that's opening a 4 point gap to 10th so quite a few teams pulling away from us

    Fair play to the heavyweights of the division coming from 2 down to lead...

    Morecambe

    As I said earlier, the gap is too large (of course not mathematically) in my honest opinion to gather in. It would require an enormous run of results and I just don't feel this particular squad has enough in it, as we have injuries, inability to create and convert chances, indifferent home form and the real grit to get over the line. We have 13 games in 53 days that is one punishing schedule.

    Rupp out

    Well we have Doncaster Tuesday night at home, 3 points is a must.

    Yeah, can't see us getting a playoff spot now. Hopefully, that bit of money we've made from the Bristol Motors Trophy can be put to good use in the summer and we can bring in the required quality for a top-three finish.

    I agree, I think we've left ourselves too much to do.

    I also think while we might put a run of results together, we also have plenty of time to put another winless run together.
