I reckon we win 3 lose 3 draw 3 = 43 pts
Colchester win 1 lose 4 draw 4 = 43 pts
Creepy win 1 lose 5 draw 4 = 40 pts
Rochdale win 1 lose 2 draw 6 = 35 pts

Crawley have improved a lot recently and looked a far better side than Doncaster last night. Our best chance of catching somebody is probably Colchester.

Be very surprised if 12 points keeps us up but hope your correct.
Theres a thread on the Boro forum about pools league survival.
Loads of comments of how brilliant our fans are.
One that we have the best Away supporters in the country
Lots of them still appreciate 1986 and are advising fans who can't get tickets for Luton away to go to the Vic v Crawley.
Was a great atmosphere when they turned up for the Wrexham game a few years ago.
Respect n fairplay to them.
UTP.

i think that is a fair assessment on how all teams in this current mini league at the bottom may end up.

Crawley have done what alot of us thought they would not and actually pick some points up - and look half decent with it too.

Rochdale again - suddenly have decided to rejoin the party and are picking points (and wins) up !

It may like someone said on here before see Colchester just plummet past everyone and go into the relegation zone (hopefully).

aslong as we at least win some of our remaining games and dont just keep drawing we will stay up.

Crawley still have some tough fixtures and do Colchester - every game now is finger nail biting time !

Being Poolies we have to have belief otherwise we would all top ourselves with the shit this club keeps on giving.

Yeh that was my prediction and since I made it Colchester have lost 4 drawn 1.

Yeh I predicted Colchester to drop and since then 4 lost 1 draw.

Just a reminder that Keith Curle's Pools did the double over Donny. They're not a good side.

I think we will (rightfully) go down, we have not been above 20th all season, won 6 games out of 37, most goals conceded in the league and have not won in the last 8 when we are most needing it. Crawley have also got Rochdale, Grimsby and Colchester to play at home which at the moment look winnable. We have got 6 teams out of 9, who are all within a shout of either playoffs or promotion.

For the record, if we had this manager and team at the very beginning of the season, I don't think we would be as near to the bottom

Yes agree Hartley was a disaster and Curle mediocre. What a waste of a season which could end up in disaster. I cant see us ever getting out of NL if that happens.

We got very lucky to get back in the EFL.
Agree its non league forever if we continue this downward spiral. And there's no guarantee to stay in the NL. You only have to look at Scunthorpe n Torquay to know its not a mugs league.
JA will be fed on scraps thats for sure.
Massive 9 games left to secure the long term future of Pools.
Hopefully the above can be avoided.
Its shit or bust time for sure.

JA proved he can work with scraps like he did at macclesfield, a club that needed the away side to bring loads of fans to get 3,000 in the ground. its not the end of the world or pools if they do go down. the league games for me have been no better than the pre challinor NL days with the same flustrations and sub standard players and tactics on view. do not want us to go down but will feel less upset though than when it happened last time. raj might have learned from his mistakes by now so i feel a bit more positive for our future.
