So forgetting what Pools have to do what is the best result for us when they meet? Can't work out what's best.

Crawley in pole position plus have 2 games in hand (Donny and Grimsby). Rochdale win may keep it a three horse race, Crawley win and both Pools and Rochdale also rans

Pools need to win, Crawley to lose.

pools win crawley/rochdale draw.

Crawley can’t keep picking points up if we are to stay up.

If they pick up any points against Rochdale, I’d say they are at least same points clear of us, if not further away! Saturday is huge and we really need some unexpected results to make it look bit better for us.

Draws have been great and installing a competitive mindset but we have to win games now. Seriously running out of time

Yeh i think looking at it now - given our game this saturday and them having a game in hand on us still..

you have to give it to the team further down the table (as you would in any other circumstance when a team is behind / infront of you by a point).

Rochdale win and we win is the perfect scenario - but i can See both games drawing and us still being a point adrift of them with their game in hand to play against a very dodgy and tired Grimsby

feel like Grimsby are in the same fettle we where in come last seasons Cup exits ! they probably feel they are safe enough.... and may go on a little horrid run (just like we did) - id rather be playing them just now over anyone else !
