    Why will we not get owt at Exeter?. They are the 4th worst team in the league and they might actually be relegated by then too

    Are you new to supporting City Idle? That's exactly why we won't get anything!

    Unlikely. Wimbledon, who have lost eight of their last nine matches, and six on the bounce, are away at Wigan, who have hit some form. Can’t see them getting anything there. Which would leave Exeter needing to beat us to have a chance of staying up.
    Could be squeaky bum time all round.

    If Exeter do need a win against us to have a chance of staying up, they will also feel the pressure and be nervous.

    We have to get at least a point from Bolton, preferable all three. One game at a time! We will deal with Exeter a week on Saturday. Our second half was good last night; especially when we made the changes. I think we took Plymouth far too seriously tbh. Yes they were good on the break, but I think we bettered them. We are more than capable of beating Bolton. Yes we are still minus 3 of our key players but we eventually managed how to play without them.

    If they are relegated then it should be plain sailing, if not then...

    a) they are fighting for their lives
    b) home form aint too bad, only Cardiff and Lincoln beat them in recent form book
    c) Held our play off rivals Plymouth and Stockport to draws in last 2 games
    d) we are still pretty shite away from home

    Im not confident we are going there and winning IF they need the win to stay up.

    Never see him play for us again? I'm sure his ankle injury isn't that serious! ;)

    Well, it felt like a maybe. I was surprised about Tyreik since I thought he was back in training, but "a while yet" could mean a few things I guess. Didn't want to interrogate them. Both nice lads. Happy to stop and talk and pose for a cheeky picture, but they were clearly on their way somewhere.

    Pretty sure GA said a few weeks too, so again that could mean anything!

    Bobby and Wright returning for the play offs would be a major boost. Lets hope Sarcevic isnt too serious either.

    I think we will get a point against Bolton, so a point at Exeter would do it. May not even need that if Luton fail to win at Bolton

    Bolton only need a point and will probably just come to get one which is not good news for us if we’re trying to break them down.
    So I agree I think we’ll get a point on Saturday with both Exeter and Wimbledon losing will mean we need a point at Exeter but them desperate to win.

    I'd rather not be relying on Bolton not losing to Luton if they are safe in the play offs and resting players.

    Unlike a lot of fans, I have no fear of playing teams near the bottom, indeed, none of the current bottom 4 have managed to beat us this season, home or away

    GA said today that Bobby is willing to take a risk and play for us again this season.

    From the YP

    Meanwhile, Alexander are allayed fears regarding a lay-off for last season's promotion hero Antoni Sarcevic, who has been struggling with an ankle issue.

    The veteran missed Tuesday night's draw with Plymouth Argyle, with the problem restricting his involvement with the squad last week.

    But a scan has confirmed that the issue is not serious and Sarcevic should be available for 'one if not both' of the club's remaining two league fixtures.

    Alexander confirmed: "There’s no major damage but there’s a lot of scar tissue from the past 12-13 years.

    From 11th place downwards we’ve only beaten Blackpool and Port Vale away. We really should fear having to get something at Exeter.
    I take it you didn’t go to games like Burton, Wigan and Wimbledon?

    So if Sarce is fit, who drops out from Tuesday night's team? I know we only drew but I felt the enforced changes made the team look fresher.
