2025 relegation dogfight thread

[Conker]

I’m always more confident away from home.

You can't call this relegation scrap. Shrewsbury lost a couple of home games on the bounce, Crawley not able to string any wins together, Cambridge and Burton seem to be doing the business but still in the drop zone. Exeter going down?

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Doing the business once, out of 12/13 opportunities.

Massive massive vibe shift though today, big game against Crawley next time out. Shame a lot of the other contenders all got good (and unexpected) results today, but it keeps it all alive. Ish.

 

[Conker]

I watched the Lincoln vs Burton game, few outtakes, firstly it’s embarrassing we lost 3-0 to that Lincoln side on Tuesday, secondly that narrows our gap to the relegation spots to only 6 points (admittedly 5 teams in the way and games in hand)

Burton away next week is gunna be a nervy one if we don’t win tomorrow.

Burton make it a scrappy game to do their best to nick it, whilst you rolled over and let us tickle your belly. No fight from yourselves at all.

23) Shrewsbury - 1
24) Cambridge - 0.9

Gives the following totals

15) Burton - 55
16) Northampton - 55

20)Peterborough - 48

21) Exeter - 43
22) Crawley - 42
23) Shrewsbury - 40
24) Cambridge - 39

Again not sure how useful this is, Shrews recent downturn has affected their prospects and Exeter look like they’ve not stopped the free fall, huge game vs us next week.

Big winners are Burton who look like they’ll pull clear with a fair bit to spare, so if they can continue their promotion form they’ll be safe and sound and avoid any last day jitters.

Included Wigan and Mansfield in it as well this time as they’ve not pulled clear.

 

[Stocky]

Said for a while the bottom four won't all go down.

May only be one who survive. But they've all pretty much got their sleeves rolled up for a battle. That may catch somebody out.

I had Peterborough down for being the most likely to not have the heart but great win for them today.

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Interesting, didn't realise how terrible Exeter have been.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Think it's the opposite from this perspective, no one side of the bottom four have stood out enough to think they'll be the one.

burton.

 

[AdamStag]

Concerning for mansfield given were only 6 clear of burton.

But with our loss to wrexham tomorrow we’ll go into that game against burton next saturday in a very dodgy situation.

We are not amazing so you are quite capable to of still winning. We might even get complacent. Not also forgetting our defence still has plenty of comedy moments in them.
I see this game a lot harder than perhaps you do.
The first game was a good one.
