need 4 points from the next two.

With southend playing barrow and colchester I can seem them catching them/ us up if we don't put points on the board.

If Southend and Grimsby lose and we win, that’s enough. The most they could get would be 49 and that’s what we’d be on. They’d need to win bigly and us lose bigly too so it’s not happening.

I think if Southend and Grimsby lose on Sat then we will be safe, even if we lose.

Still think were safe but nothing is guaranteed... you know mathematics plus the Mansfield way :lol:

also with southend playing those around them... barrow/colchester could catch us and southend can catch them. Just need a win to settle it!

a few seasons ago, auto promotion looked nailed on at this stage of the season! I'm assuming nothing until the mathematics settle it once and for all ;-)

So do I, but I also think we will finish no better than 21st.

Would it really make anyone feel better if we finished say 18th rather than 21st? Either way the season has been very disappointing.

No it wouldn't. Just a tad more embarrassing.

That doesn’t bother me. Staying up is all that matters

Ha! In all seriousness, my head is saying we're ok. Maybe it's my heart that harks back to the other season when we needed 1 point from our last 3 games to go up!

It would take (better than) promotion form from the bottom two and us to not pick else anything up in our last 5. Yes it can happen, but based on recent past, we've enough to get a point here and there and the bottom two don't look they've got it in them to get '12 from 15 points' sort of form...

Are Salford the only one of our opponents with anything to play for? Even by the time we play them, their playoffs dreams may have died too.

It's making the end of the season more interesting though!

No way are two of Colly, Sarfend or Grimsby going to finish above us

But what odds would you get for a bet on us staying up? I would imagine you would have a difficulty in even finding a bookie to take the bet.

Anyone care to offer any reassurance that we aren't going to get relegated? Was thinking about it last night, Did not realise Southend still had Colchester and Barrow to play..

sure I read Southend need to be in promotion form and win all their remaining games, which isn't likely

Both sides can only afford one game out of their last 5 and 6 respectively that they don’t win. That’s assuming we only do as well as our worst 6 game period of the seasons (2 more pts). It would require a run which neither team has produced more than once or twice all season.

Yes I think a lot of us remember the one point scenario. For me the home game against Stevenage was were it went horribly wrong. They had Chair on loan that day and for me he was the difference between both sides. Sometimes these things have symmetry. So maybe a win at Stevenage is on the cards and will makeus safe. Here's hoping. :coys:

That's if they are targeting us which they won't be now. If Southend target Colchester and win their game against them then they are only 1 point behind 22nd. They need to get two more points than Colchester in four games and have better form than Grimsby.

Stevenage away a difficult game against a hard working organized side who have picked up 10 points in there last 5 games, With Mansfield still stuttering and making mistakes they have picked up only 4 points from the last 5 games, So for me will take a away point
