Think the game will be in some doubt due to the shit load of rain that’s forecast this evening and will continue till midday tomorrow. We really don’t need another rearranged game so am hoping it will go ahead.

Friday was disappointing and we need to get back on track quickly, and I think anything less than a win will kiss goodbye to any automatic chances. We’ve recalled a young striker from his loan at Dorchester so god knows who’s missing and there’s a rumour of a sickness bug going around too. Great.

That Mo Eisa looks to be quality and Cheltenham are capable of coming to SJP with little pressure and getting a result.

This will be tight I think and I will plump for a 2-1 win. Stockley double for us.

Isn't Archie Collins a midfielder. I hope we go back to 4-4-2. Looked like gaps on both sides of the defence on Friday. We really need to get our defenders back. I hope that we can at least start with Matt Jay or Simpson with Jaydon.
Just hope the Cheltenham who scored 5 in their last away game don't turn up!

We appear to be better away than at home at the moment, so we'll be in with a shout. That being said, we've not beat Exeter for years now after previously having an amazing record against them.

Eisa is class, and he's also better away from home (13 of his 20 league goals have come away) so he'll likely get one.

I'll go for a 1-1 draw.

If we don't win this, our season is pretty much over. Im going with frustrating 1-1 draw.

Get in. Big win.
Still don't think we can make the autos unless we get incredibly lucky and Wycombe stays throwing games away but it's still a massive result for us.

The more confidence we have going into the playoffs the better.

Massive win there. Great games by Tillson and Storey in particular. Thought Cheltenham played well but we just had the edge at times. Good goal for them. Picky ref. Opening a bit of a gap on eighth now. Shame about Wycombe.

Great win, but a hard fought one. Cheltenham came with little pressure and played some good stuff. Their goal was a great strike and they were a threat all game.

That said we’re so much more robust than previous years which means we can grind out wins. It may not always be pretty but I don’t care, 3 points are all that matters at this stage.

I though Simpson had a very good game, linked well with Stockley, never stopped running and took his goal very well. Storey is the ******** isn’t he, such a talent and he reads the game so well and his header was a bullet.

Thought Sweeney, Tillson and Moxey were decent too and we worked very had as a team.

The only real negative was the inept Lloyd James. I think that wing back position is perfect for Wilson so would much prefer him in there next game.

Anyway, we’re on the march and have a great chance of pushing the top 3 to breaking point. UTC.

Fantastic win. Only the points count now. Looking at respective runs-ins, and with my tinted glasses on, I think Wycombe have some very tricky games. Really surprised at Coventry getting hammered, looking over my shoulder worryingly at Lincoln's form, think Mansfield seemed to have crashed, not sure about Notts who are very inconsistent.........still think we are going to sneak 3rd

I cant see us getting 3rd.

Can't bring myself to get hopeful about something not in our hands.
