FIVE Game Season Starts NOW

[South Bank Hank]

This was the poll with six games left, and now we’ve got an away point at Fleetwood. Teams below us struggled too. We’ll run this with each game.



So how do you feel now? More confident or less? Nail your colours to the mast again Shrimpers!

 

[South Bank Hank]

I still think we can do it, and am probably even more confident now after the cheeky away point and the massive boost of seeing Humphrys back on the pitch.

COME ON YOU SHRIMPERS

 

[Ricey]

We desperately need Wycombe and Rochdale to lose on Tuesday.

 

[Cricko]

I think we will just about survive.. The team showed fight today and that is what we need. It does make you wonder why we have been so powderpuff for so many games,

Only one thing changed...

I think we’ll pick up 2 wins in the next 2 which will be enough to put us safe

 

[RHB]

Jeez, don't we all love a poll on here......including me.

 

[The Big Dady]

I just wish we could score as many goals or win as many points as we have polls.

 

[The Big Dady]

Not one of the bottom 12 won today, so it is all to play for.

 

[South Bank Hank]

Clear swing in Shrimpers fans confidence in us staying up after today’s game....

 

[Blues ‘n’ twos]

All we need is for some team Bonding........sorry

So do i, he did a great job tiling my bathroom...

Sorry, slightly racist comment. I'll get my coat...

We desperately need Wycombe and Rochdale to lose on Tuesday.

Won't be the worst results if both games were draws.
In fact I would prefer a draw in the Accrington v Rochdale game.

 

[Stuart W]

One thing we can all do to help get the right result next Saturday is:-
DON'T big up the game too much by building up too much pressure.
The last two home games have been (to quote fans beforehand):-
"Massive six pointers"
"Games we simply have to win"

Guess what? Two home defeats and in both you could feel the tension on and off the pitch from the kick-off. I think in both we treated each game too much like a cup final, and because the expectation and rewards were made to appear so high, we couldn't deal with going a goal down each time...we looked lost and deflated.

I am sure Bond should be able to apply this sort of psychology to the players this week, but hard as it is, I think the fans can do their bit too.

 

[Fairport]

Two wins could well be enough together with our slightly superior goal difference. Humphreys coming back will be key.

 

[OldBlueLady]

The next game is key, we have to get the Roots Hall hoodoo monkey off our backs. Those of us going to the sponsors dinner on Tuesday have to do our bit in getting the players believing, and then the crowd next Saturday needs to be partisan and vocal in their support.

We can do this, we just all need to be pulling together.

 

[rayleigh dan]

I've changed my mind after today. That first half performance sounded the best we've played for months.

Could we have held on for a win? Maybe. But under Powell this game would have been written off as another defeat. At least we're showing some fight now. UTB

Me too. Sounded like we put up a fight. And with SH back I'm more confident. I just hope it's done and dusted before we play Sunderland.

I think two wins could be enough. The six pointers against Wycombe and Walsall could be key. 6 points from those two games, we're more or less safe. 3 or less, serious squeaky bum time.

 

[Lincoln Shrimp]

I so want us to stay in league 1. Next season will see it being even more competitive with the likes of Lincoln, Ipswich and Bolton joining.
With 4 or 5 signings (some much needed creativity in midfield and some pace) we'll be well placed to compete and enjoy a much better season

 

[Floval Flyer]

Wycombe not won in 11 according to EFL Quest show, if they lose on Tuesday they could be for the taking.

Somethings gotta give

Most important game if the season (how many times have we said that recently though?!)
