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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
