Why do you think that? Is it a feeling in your water or do you know something?

Luckily still for us, those teams still around have not really shown any improvement.

well it certainly gives fuel to those who want more promotion places from the national league. do those struggling sides actually deserve a league club even though the fans think they do. if you do not support pools, crawley, harrogate or rochdale who would really miss them.

Probably Newport.

think they have done enough to pull away but still a shite side - could well be back amongst it given their fixtures

Who gives a shite who misses us or not, we’d miss us and that’s all that counts, bugger the rest, their opinion counts for nothing.

Likewise couldn't care less who goes down as long as it's not us. Harrogate would struggle to hold onto Armstrong back in the NL, but there's no guarantee he'd sign for Pools if he was available.

I feel we are just like Harrogate at the minute... (albeit we are a propa club with propa fans)

we finally have a few players of league quality and a striker whos capable of notching at this level... very much like them..

they have players who wouldnt get in our side and likewise with them - if they did go down and we stayed up they would certainly loose Armstrong and Muldoon - they also had a young attacking CM i liked the look of when i watched them at home to Stockport the other week too.

Muldoon just signed a new 2 year contract.

means sod all when a league club comes knocking on the door - wouldnt surprise me if a Stockport or newly promoted side takes a punt

someone like Notts county would certainly have a look over the best players out of the sides going down.

hence why if we go down we will almost be unrecognisable again from the team that ends the season - this merry go round bullshit is why we are where we are !

Go down and the team will be deffo unrecognizable for the worse. Thats for sure.
But buy a ST cos the new manager has a promotion budget and hes better than KC /DC.
That sounds like a new rock band.

well it stops fans being bored by having the same old players year in year out.

i do like the transfer window dont get me wrong - i liked the fact we had alot of new faces through the door - its good times but as we know it doesnt work (unless they are incredible players).

but we have to ensure we have a spine and a solid one at that - then mix it up with new signings ...

Colchester may just be that bird ... with the loss of their manager

Well my prediction is starting to look good. No goals in 4 games 1 draw 3 defeats in a row. Ahead of us by 6 points but played same amount of games. Only 11 games left but we always seem to get a a unlikely team that goes on a terrible late run in the same way we get a few teams going on half descent late run of results. Never say never

gillinghams storm up the league has also slowed down somewhat also.

Eiphos_3 · **Posted:** Mon Mar 06, 2023 10:58 am

undoubtedly becoming one of the most nail biting ends to a season for a long time in this division !

it literally could go either way now - and teams above us falling past us quicker than they went up i.e Colchester and the Gills.

Harrogate again a dodgy side but not as tough a run in of games as what us and Crawley have a dont think.

Rochdale also adding to the disparity with a rare win against top oppo at the weekend - who knows what will happen... but us getting a win soon is all that really matters

I was thinking the other day Colchester
Could come back into play,after their initial decent run under new management.
I knew they hadn't scored in 3,so 4 is even better,hopefully they will plummet back down.

No I believe they had lost the manager after the draw and 1st defeat of the 3 lost
