I would take 7 points from the next 4 games, that would really set up for last 4 games!

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

We need to be at least 2 points behind them when we play Col Ewes, as their final 3 games can sent them down.

 

[NZamba Legend]

We could win every one of our games. We won't, but we could. Nothing to be afraid of.

 

[hlane17]

Playing like we did today, we can beat anyone. Keep positive, keep attacking, take the game to teams.

Nobody can deny that our club drags itself off the canvas when everyone thinks we're down. It's something about Southend and who knows, we could do it again.

I've been amusing myself with a regular end of season prediction based on form over the most recent 5 games. Two games back, we were looking to finish bottom with Grimsby relegated with us and Colchester surviving in 22nd.
After today the form prediction looks like:
21 - Walsall 45
22 - Grimsby 45
23 - Southend 45
24 - Colchester 44
Final positions could be decided by goal difference or even goals scored. hold tight, there could be some twists and turns yet.

Colchester last 3 games

 

[flangejackrabbit]

On paper, I think we have the best run in, though the next four rather tougher than the last four.

How very dare you!

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Cant see us getting anything at Morecambe and Exeter but the others are all possible to achieve a decent result.Feel the two home games against Carlisle and Crawley are very winnable and time we play Orient and Newport they might have very little to play for.As this is such poor league anything can happen lot more tension full matches to watch !!!!!

 

[Fitz]

We need to start winning some home games....starting on Saturday!

 

[gatecrasher]

This is the year we will do morecambe

 

[Shrimper]

Got to beat Barrow and Colchester

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

We need to start winning some home games....starting on Saturday!

Having not won a home match for 8 games, surely we're due a run of four 1-0 wins in our remaining home games?.

 

[Barling Magna]

Just come back in my time machine from 6.00pm on Saturday 8th May. Here are the results of our last eight matches:

Home- Carlisle (Sat 3rd April) WON 3 pts
Away- Morecambe (Tue 6th April) LOST (obviously) 0 pts
Home- Crawley (Sat 10th April) WON 3 pts
Away- Exeter (Sat 17th April) LOST 0 pts
Away- Colchester (Tue 20th April) DREW 1 pt
Home- Leyton Orient (Sat 24th April) WON 3 points
Away- Barrow (Sat 1st May) DREW 1 pt
Home- Newport (Sat 8th May) DREW 1 pt

So 12 points making 47 in total.

And here is the final League Two table:

21 - Southend 47
22 - Grimsby 46
23 - Walsall 45
24 - Colchester 45

So there was really nothing to wory about at all. Onwards to automatic promotion in May 2022.

Carlisle aren't pretty but they are quite effective, this is one that I'm not so confident of.

If we cant win a home game in 9, when the hell will we?.

 

[Danshrimper]

Carlisle aren't pretty but they are quite effective, this is one that I'm not so confident of.

They have won 1 game in their last 13. Don’t sound very effective to me.

 

[stewart]

only two games im worried about are Exeter and Morcombe the rest are winnable i think , come on you blues ,pleas dont go back into your nshell ,go on a winning streak,us supporters deserve that.after the last 3 seasons of torment.

 

[Derbyshire Blue]

Carlisle aren't pretty but they are quite effective, this is one that I'm not so confident of.

I saw the goals Carlisle conceded to Cambridge today and the defending was poor down both sides. I’m confident we can worry them.
