Don't think it matters greatly what result tonight but as we have to play FGR it might be better for Crewe to win ?

[spireitetoo]

I'd take a draw and keep em both in the mix

[danblue]

Defo a draw to keep as many teams catchable!

[bucko]

if anyone was to win the game then i would hope for Crewe. Be one game less for FGR and we still got to go there.

I'd normally adhere to that rule but I think Crewe look ready to get out the mess and also have a easy(ish) run in.

Port Vale/Exeter and Morcamble/Colchester are very important but it looks like Morcambe have enough to escape. Perhaps by the time they play us they'll be relaxing a bit.

Don't agree with the doom merchants, these are very important fixtures as the weekend fixtures look really nasty for all the strugglers. However it would be lovely to go into the Notts County game 6/7 points behind most of these teams with 3 games in hand. If that doesn't give us hope what can?

A draw would be best atm as it denies both teams 3 points. If I could see into the future I might wish one of them had lost.

A Crewe win is best for us in my opinion; partly due to the fact that we still have FGR to play, and also a draw would see 2 of our rivals pick up points and gain further ground on us. I think our best hope is for 2 out of FGR, Port Vale, Crewe and Morcambe lose 2 or 3 on the bounce.

It's possible that favourable results beforehand, coupled with a Sunday win could see us looking handily placed to escape.

We seem to do better at home against the higher placed sides so there's some method in the madness.

Handily placed to escape but we still have to deliver the goods, I'm afraid.

It's reaching desperate levels. Results in favour of our relegation rivals and a defeat on Sunday and that will be pretty much it.

Alternately we could be 6 points behind two of them with 3 games in hand if results go our way .

[Spire-Power]

I'd rather have played 3 more and be 6 points ahead tbh

[Bonnyman]

I don't think a draw is s result for us, the only way teams can possibly be dragged in is by losing constantly, I think it's a 3 way shoot out
