2025 relegation dogfight thread

Do many of the bottom 8 still need to play each other?

Cambridge (a)
Boro (a)
Shrews (h)
Crawley (a)
Wigan (h)

So could be huge really

i hate saying stuff like this, but from a mansfield perspective the only side i can see catching us is burton.

Cambridge and crawley are 11 behind with a much worse GD. On their current PPG they’re projected to get 39. So in effect (including GD) we’re already 2 ahead of what they’re projected to get.

Shrewsbury have still got:

8/3 - Exeter (a)
15/3 - Burton (h)
5/4 - Cambridge (h)
18/4 - Wigan (h) appreciate not quite in bottom 8
21/4 - Northampton (a)
3/5 - Crawley (h)

Despite recent performances and results, that's why we're not quite out of it just yet. Still also got to go to Birmingham and Wycombe in the same week, Reading at home and Lincoln and Barnsley away. On paper it's not the most daunting of fixture lists, but still a tall order.

I've pretty much resigned myself to thinking we will get caught after not winning that last night.
Of the teams around us we play Crawley (A), Exeter (H), Mansfield (H). I cant see us winning all of those which we would need to as we also play 5 of the current top 8 sides.

A few play each other then. We've got Exeter, Bristol Rovers and Shrewsbury all at home.

You should win all of them

You should win all of them

I hope they do.

We’ve got:
Wigan (a)
Peterborough (h)
Northampton (h)
Shrewsbury (a)
Burton (a)

I was looking at our home games before yesterday’s game - Stevenage, Boro, Northampton, Orient and Charlton are all pretty close, then we have Birmingham and Wrexham who are going for promotion. Piece of cake…..!

TBF Birmingham will have won the league about 5 matches before playing us.

Burton just before is another matter though!
