Fleetwood away for Notts. who it turns out we’ve never beaten. Looks nailed on for a draw which I’m sure most of us would take. We’ve generally found Pete Wild teams a bit of a pain in the arse.

Some of the other Notts fans will disagree but It *feels* like our autos push is running out of steam a bit unless we get McGoldrick and Jones back fully fit soon, with the added possibility of getting Traore starting as well.

Got some tough games coming up, probably need our big players back to get much from them.

We're definitely only just getting points, not at all fluent or convincing.
We've had key injuries all season, rarely able to put our best team out but Maynard is very cautious, choosing to play one striker rather than two even against poorer teams at home, which doesn't help.
Fleetwood looks tough but if we want to go up we need points from these games.

Must win really at Tranmere, not a side we’ve done well against recently and the manager change adds the unknown a bit along with our injury crisis up front.

I’d not play the Palace lad though, rather go Hackford alone and have two number 10s like Chis behind. If Tolaj is fit that would be a help!

Wish Crosby all the best, as permanent manager it was a bit of a disaster but covering for DC after a slow start he led us on that run which was a massive part in our promotion 3 years ago and was a great bloke. There were some great moments during his time with us mixed in with some horrific ones.

I'm at a loss to understand your query.
I checked the last six results of the four teams mentioned on their website and it agrees with the Form Guide.
Port Vale 4 wins, 2 draws = 14 pts
Swindon, 4 wins, 1 draw = 13 pts
Bromley 3 wins, 1 draw = 10 pts
Fleetwood 2 wins, 2 draw = 8 pts
I can only guess that you are looking at a different number of games played!

He’s on about the red green and grey dots next to the fixtures, ours is wrong too as if has 4 greens then a red but should be 4 greens and a grey as we drew will Gillingham before our run of wins.
Not that it actually matters one bit like.

So Cheltenham away, tough one but it will help us knowing that we’ve also got the full support of Nailsworth for this one given that Cheltenham and FGR are such HUMONGOUS MASSIVE rivals.

Well can't be much worst than the last time we played Chesterfield. If after that game you told me Chesterfield would be stuck in midtable at this stage I'd never have believed you.

Things are slowly starting to look abit brighter for our squad, Williams and Cooney will return from suspension, albeit I wouldn't be in a hurry to play either, as weve looked better with a back 4 and Billington deserves his spot in the team. I've heard the only forward that's going to be likely to return in time will be Chris Long. Our form doesn't look great of late apart from the Barrow game last time out, but to be fair we've played some decent stuff without getting the results in recent weeks, so hopefully we continue with this more free flowing style of football.

Should be a decent away crowd travelling over for this, sold over 700 so far, so I'd expect somewhere between 800-1000.

Chesterfield 1-1 Crewe (Dobra, Long)

I didn't think we'd go up but I certain didn't think you would, funny old game eh

We've not got much to play for now so will be interesting to see what sort of team we turn up with

This week, we face Accrington at home. We are currently separated by only goal difference, although Accrington has a game in hand. We have been unbeaten at home since January 1st, while they recently secured an away victory on Tuesday. Both teams look poor and are desperate for a result to avoid falling into the relegation zone. 6 pointer, need to win and other cliches. I expect it to be a tense, scrappy game.

To be fair, with McGoldrick out we don’t have another striker to play. I think Traore is a late sub because of fitness rather than out of choice, but he’s been here nearly a month so is hopefully getting closer to being able to start games.

Sounds like Jones will be back for this one anyway, which is obviously very good news. This isn’t easy but it’s the kind of game you need to find a way to win for top three IMO.

One good bit of news for us leading into this game is Ronan Curtis will now be available as successfully appealed his red card. Pleasant surprise that.
