After last week I want to be positive so here we go….
I honestly think we can stay up and there’s at least 9 teams who can realistically be relegated (including us) And they are….
(1)Mainstone with 1 point from their last 5 games.
(2)Torquay with 7 points from their last 5 but still down there with us.
(3)Gateshead with 8 points from their last 5 games but they’ve lost their talisman who has just signed for us!!
(4)Dorking with 1 point from their last 5 games
(5)York with 3 points from their last 5 games
(6)Maidenhead 4 points from last 5 played
(7)Halifax 3 points from last 5 played
(8)Altrincham 4 points from last 5 playedWe have to Play 6!!!!! Of these teams before the season ends!!!
Iron, Iron, Iron
Let’s do this!!!

February 7, 2023 at 10:57 pm #255303Keep on dreaming Sharp-Shooter, most of these teams will play against each other before the end of the season, that means that there will be points available to one or both of the teams in each of these games, were the teams that you have named. I hope that you are correct Shooter, but it is a very long shot and I doubt that even Peter Swann will be placing money on Scunny to avoid relegation.

February 8, 2023 at 9:42 am #255322Need 8 or 9 wins to get to 50 points (which is roughly what Oldham are on track for). That’s a huge ask.

February 8, 2023 at 10:29 am #255325It will take a massive effort certainly, but our chances are much better than they were 2 weeks ago.

February 8, 2023 at 10:51 am #255327I predict we’ll still have a club at season end. How’s that for optimism!?

February 8, 2023 at 10:51 am #255328Is Rene a fake account for Alcy? Probably not, Alcy would be predicting we will finish 24th.

We’ve “bought a ticket” as Adkins would have said!

February 8, 2023 at 11:07 am #255331Related to a titled poster and also a sadly, seldom seen these days poster I believe.

February 8, 2023 at 11:11 am #255332I believe Alcy has passed away, not any posts in the last 4 months? If he has I do hope it was from COVID the anti vaxxer, sure he would be well happy now the way it all panned out. Certainly missing his posts.

I disagree, with the amount of new faces we have we need a pre-season to find out our best team, Jimmy has to find his best team in the middle of a relegation battle. Not going to happen but over the moon to be proved wrong.

February 8, 2023 at 12:47 pm #255338I saw a post somewhere in Alcy’s real name quite recently.

February 8, 2023 at 12:48 pm #255339New owner doing a great job so far by the looks of it, though I swear if he tweeted that he’d just moved his coffee cup an inch there’d be replies of ‘you really are the messiah aren’t you?!’

Yeah .. if i was a betting man which i am even thought its illegal here i would stick 5k pounds om Scunny to win the NLN handsomely next season..
i watch Gareths Ironarmy YT channel and the many die hard fans that are sure we can stay up … teams take time to gel and we wont see Jimmy Deans best side until next season in NLN .. sorry to burst balloons i just arent as confident as many fans appear to be that we will survive this season.. i really hope im wrong.February 8, 2023 at 4:30 pm #255352AnonymousInactiveOffline

The plan for me is to do every away game. Fingers crossed.February 8, 2023 at 8:10 pm #255360No, can’t see it happening. But wouldn’t it be a glorious rest of the season if by some miracle it did? That would be a tale to tell for generations to come.

February 9, 2023 at 4:36 am #255366The philosophy must be greater than just ‘We’ll attempt to win every game.’
I’d love to see a sports psychologist added to the group in the pre-match to every game.
The ‘Dunkirk Spirit’ saw 339,000 troops rescued in a situation which was beyond impossible.
Of course, most of us are realists – we all know that the likelihood of success is tiny – but the impossible does sometimes happen.February 9, 2023 at 7:50 am #255367AnonymousInactiveOffline

February 9, 2023 at 9:33 am #255370The next 4 games will decide it I think. Must treat ALL the remaining games as MUST WINS.
Set up to make them deal with us, don’t over complicate. The fans will do their bit.

February 9, 2023 at 12:14 pm #255374I really hope that our new goalie is some kind of miracle worker. Because our central defenders are certainly not!
February 9, 2023 at 1:05 pm #255375Always been difficult for the central defenders,we had a left back who couldn’t stop crosses and a young goalkeeper they were trying to protect,rooted to his goal line

February 18, 2023 at 10:50 pm #255811So Jimmy gets his first maximum, thank god he saw sense and got Butterfield back in the team!!
Anyway with 15 left to play, this is how I hope it goes…
(1)Wrexham away – they are unbeaten at home and have the best home record in the league.
Verdict = Lose 0 points(2) Boreham Wood away – their home record is 17th in the league with most games drawn.
Verdict = Draw 1 point(3) Maidstone away – worst home form
In the league and second bottom of the form table.
Verdict = Win (Must win) 3 points(4) Eastleigh at home – their away record is 17th in the league 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 defeats!
Verdict = win 3 points(5) Altrincham at home – Their away record is 18th with only 2 wins.
Verdict = Win 3 points(6) York away – 3rd bottom for home form in the league with 4W/4D/7L.
Verdict = Win 3 points(7) Solihull away – 16th in the home form
Table 5W/5D/6L.
Verdict = Draw 1 point(8) Wealdstone at home – 10th in the league for away form and 9th on current form (last 6 games).
Verdict = Draw 1 point(9) Notts County away – Top of the form table and unbeaten at home.
Verdict = Defeat 0 points(10) Torquay at home – They are 19th in the league for away from only 3 wins and 2 draws with 9 defeats.
Verdict = Win 3 points(11) Gateshead away – Bottom of the league for home form!!
Verdict = Win 3 points(12) Oldham at home – Oldham have been poor away from home losing 8 games out of 15 with only 1 win.
Verdict = Draw 1 point(13) Aldershot away – A solid home record with 6 wins and 2 draws losing 7.
Verdict = Draw 1 point(14) Southend at home – They are good away from home winning 5 and drawing 4.
Their form is 9th (last 6 played)
Verdict = Draw 1 point(15) Dorking away – ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE!!!
They are currently bottom of the form table (last 6 played)
Their home record reads 6 wins/3 draws/6 losses.
Verdict Win (Must Win) 3 pointsSo if that plays out that’s 27 points to add to our 26.
That’s 53 points and surely safety.We are currently the 10th best team in the form table.
Let’s have it!!!!

February 18, 2023 at 11:29 pm #255813“Scunthorpe till I die”- then what?
Dorking away- I was there!!
Another Chester moment ,hopefully.February 18, 2023 at 11:35 pm #255814“Scunthorpe till I die”- then what?
Then nothing, just blackness and a fading memory for the ones left behind. That’s why you have to enjoy your footy now. UTI.
