[Bottega Don]

Prediction time:

MK Dons vs Leyton Orient - MK Dons are a class side and this should be a routine win for them.
Colchester vs Scunthorpe - I was optimistic for the Crawley game and we won that so I am gonna do the same now. Hopefully Colchester are dead on confidence after Tuesday and we pick them apart.
Crawley vs County - Crawley are absolutely shocking. Moniz to get his first win as County boss and to guide them to safety.
Bristol City vs Coventry - Draw for this one. After the Lord Mayor's show for Bristol City imo.
Crewe vs Walsall - Walsall to guarantee their safety.

 

[Crewelad87]

This weekend then...

MK Dons vs Leyton Orient
Colchester vs Scunthorpe
Crawley vs County
Bristol City vs Coventry
Crewe vs Walsall

So, what are people's thoughts on that lot?

Orient and Coventry will do very well to get anything as will Vale vs PNE tommorow. As for the rest you can make a case for any outcome.

If I was to predict:
Orient, Coventry, Vale and Scunthorpe to lose

Colchester to win

Notts, Crawley, Crewe and Walsall to pick up a point.

 

[joethegill]

Home wins all round apart from Col U - Scunny, which I'll put down as a draw.

Forthcoming fixtures:

16th Coventry(43) - 51 points. Bristol C(A), Crewe(H), Crawley(A)
17th Scunthorpe(42) - 51 points. Colchester(A), Bradford(H), Gillingham(H), Doncaster(A)
18th Port Vale(43) - 50 points. Preston(H), Yeovil(A), Fleetwood(H)
19th Crewe(43) - 48 points. Walsall(H), Coventry(A), Bradford(H)
20th Leyton Orient(42) - 47 points. MK Dons(A), Rochdale(A), Sheff U(H), Swindon(A)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21st Notts County(42) - 47 points. Crawley(A), Preston(H), Doncaster(H), Gillingham(A)
22nd Crawley(43) - 47 points. Notts C(H), Peterborough(A), Coventry(H)
23rd Colchester(42) - 44 points. Scunthorpe(H), Fleetwood(A), Swindon(H), Preston(H)
24th Yeovil(43) - 36 points. Swindon(A), Port Vale(H), MK Dons(A)

Looking at those run-ins, I reckon it'll end up looking something like this (which, no offense intended, will please me being a northerner).

16th Scunthorpe 55pts
17th Coventry - 53pts
18th Port Vale 52pts
19th Crewe - 52pts
20th Notts County - 49pts
----------------------------------------
21st Crawley - 49pts
22nd Leyton Orient - 48pts
23rd Colchester - 47pts
24th Yeovil - 37pts

 

[Youpies]

I get the feeling there will be a winner in the game vs Crawley. We can't keep drawing games. My heart says a Notts win, but never trust that as a football fan.

I think the players are really reacting well to Moniz, I'm hopeful we'll get something

 

[Saddlerrad]

I'll go with...

Dons
Scunthorpe
County
Brizzle
Walsall
Vale

Not sure why, but I reckon the confidence and jitters over promotion may get PNE at the Vale.

16th Scunthorpe 55pts
17th Coventry - 53pts
18th Port Vale 52pts
19th Crewe - 52pts
20th Notts County - 49pts
----------------------------------------
21st Crawley - 49pts
22nd Leyton Orient - 48pts
23rd Colchester - 47pts
24th Yeovil - 37pts

This is the worry for us southerners. Very plausible too, although I just have Crawley staying up over Notts in my predictor.

 

[LuSiVe]

It's gonna be awesome .... we'll have *even less* distance to travel next season
(Hope Plymouth don't come up)

 

[Bottega Don]

Port Vale
Crawley
Colchester
Yeovil

To go down, please.

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

Port Vale
Crawley
Colchester
Yeovil

To go down, please.

I echo this statement.

 

[william death]

This weekend then...

MK Dons vs Leyton Orient
Colchester vs Scunthorpe
Crawley vs County
Bristol City vs Coventry
Crewe vs Walsall

So, what are people's thoughts on that lot?

MK Dons vs Leyton Orient - MK DONS WIN
Colchester vs Scunthorpe - DRAW
Crawley vs County - DRAW OR NOTTS WIN
Bristol City vs Coventry - BRISTOL WIN
Crewe vs Walsall - WALSALL WIN

I hope

 

[Posh Hammer]

My thoughts are great.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Port Vale
Crawley
Colchester
Yeovil

To go down, please.

I can handle losing the Vale as Burton and Shrewsbury are coming back up, which would be almost perfect for us.

 

[dedwardp]

Port Vale vs Preston
MK Dons vs Leyton Orient
Colchester vs Scunthorpe
Crawley vs County
Bristol City vs Coventry
Crewe vs Walsall - draw

16 Coventry 51
17 Scunthorpe 51
18 Port Vale 50
19 Crawley 50
20 Crewe 49
-------------------
21 Leyton Orient 47
22 Notts County 47
23 Colchester 47

 

[PositiveOmen]

Think Orient will snatch a draw as MK lose sight of Preston. Colchester will grab a draw, but confidence will be too shot to manage the win. County will get a big win at Crawley, just got a feeling. Cov will get battered. Walsall will beat Crewe.

Also Vale will lose to Preston on Friday, and Yeovil will get bummed by Swindon.

Which would leave the table as-

Wallsall 57
Scunny 52
Cov 51
Vale 50
County 50
Orient 48
Crewe 48
Crawley 47
Colchester 45
Yeovil 37

Probably wrong, but that's where my money would be.

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

We will not lose by more than 2 goals on saturday. I'm quietly confident of us picking up a point.

 

[LongEatonPie]

MK Dons vs Leyton Orient 3-1
Colchester vs Scunthorpe 1-1
Crawley vs County 1-2
Bristol City vs Coventry 2-1
Crewe vs Walsall 2-1

11/4 for the Draw and 5/1 for us to win.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

One of Orient, Port Vale, and Coventry will get a win I think. Sadly it probably won't be us.

[Cough]

 

[Judge Red]

It looks on for our first relegation since 1970 but I've not given up hope yet. A win against Notts Co. would make it look a little rosier again. Ironically, a Crawley-Notts Co draw may not be much use to either side.

 

[jacobncfc]

I'd probably take a draw if I was offered it now, to be honest.

 

[Youpies]

I think a draw leaves us with too much to do despite the game in hand.

Donny and the Gills have nothing to play for, but I think both will fight hard for the points as Oldham did last year. I think we really need a win, we certainly can't lose

We don't, but we still battled our way to a point on tuesday against the odds. Last seasons final game was against an already relegated Shrewsbury - hope that isn't an omen for you.

 

[Hurrikeen]

FFS County, sort your boxes out and stay up at Crawley's expense will you?

 

[Town end]

Although our season is done we still have to do all we can to get the result against scunny and notts even if it means one or both go down, having taken points from other teams in the mire to not try would be unprofessional and unfair on those still with a chance of survival

 

[dedwardp]

I agree. Come on the Gills.

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

MK Dons, Draw, Draw, Bristol City, Walsall

Not to mention a defeat for 'playoff chasing' Port Vale too.

To be fair we was play off chasing six weeks ago...

 

[LondonOrn]

Funny how many people are picking Walsall to win, given that Crewe have a lot more at stake, and Walsall are pretty much safe, I'd say this one looks a home banker.

I can see at least one shock at MK Dons and Bristol though.
