... if Rochdale’s recent upturn in form slows down, the derby match on the 4th April could be the most depressing fixture in history!
We are all but relegated following our last gasp defeat to P’boro. |  | | |  |

There’s some nipple twisting going on here, and you should know better ding dang. Shall we look at getting out of the bottom four first before we start all that? |
Absolutely spot on TTN, although I would add that we can still mathematically make the play-offs.
By my reckoning beating the not rights will put us up to twelfth. [Post edited 14 Mar 2018 7:31]

There's more chance of Bury putting the final nail in our coffin tbf because their cause is likely to be hopeless by the time we meet... |
We've got 8 (EIGHT) games after the bury game so that is very unlikely. |  |

Yes home form is not going to keep us up - draws wont be enough and we have drawn half of our home games. We need wins and we haven't done that home for a long while and only 4 times all season. Its beginning to look like having all those home games left is a curse, not a blessing. |
on that basis - 4 away wins & 9 home draws would take us to 54 points and probable safety.
I appreciate all the 'reality' on this thread and clearly the position we sank to in first 2/3 of season is statistically terminal, but that shouldn't stop us feeling good about how we are now performing, including last night, and the improved league results (11th on last 6 games form). You do need the run of the ball as well. | |

What’s the mood like over in Bury, OP? Is there any hope at all you’ll survive? |
We're gone, but we still have to play yourselves, MK, Wimbledon, Northampton, Donny so could have a big impact on other struggling sides assuming we continue to play with the endeavour that has been present since Lowe took over.
Would much prefer Oldham to come down with us but they're the form team of the bottom sides. | | | |

I can't see how anybody can say any team is definitely down yet. All them bottom teams you have to play, beat them, chalks another game off for them & you edge closer. I'd prefer all the NW teams were in the same division (just you 2 finish below us)... |  | | |

we are the bookies 5th favourite to be relegated ( 8/5 )
bury are 1-33 to be relegated so finally gone - according to the bookmakers we have a great chance.
I am not so sure we should be 8/5 looks a big price to me when we are still 6 points away from 20th place!
£200 on us to go down returns £320 + your £200 back if anybody wants an insurance bet and the 2018/19 season ticket paid for should we get relegated.
it would cost you £200 of course should we do the great escape. | | | |

Nah, we're done now. Whilst most of us have known this since about October when our only goal threat got injured, Tuesday changed the mood for the last few heads in sand. We have won 1 away game in 13 months, only a complete berk would think we are going to win enough of the ones remaining this season. MK maybe, Wimbledon maybe last day but the fat lady will have sung long before we get that far.
The worry is how we can possibly renovate the overpriced, overpaid squad. There really isn't much I would miss.
Whilst I still think you are coming with us (though you've had a great week for sure), I would rather OIdham went. I think any division gets sick of the sight of a side that narrowly avoids relegation after a while and their crawling over the line every year is pretty irritating now. | | | |

I've said it before BazStrange, when you look at your squad you lot should be beating all before you......notice Dawson did n't get a game on Tuesday such is the wealth of your squad.
Who would you miss then? | | | |

BS, I think you are right. Unlikely that a team that's averaged less than a point a game will average two points from the remaining matches. That'd be promotion form (usually 50 points are enough to avoid relegation, but this season it could well be 51 or 52.
As for our lot, the average is a point a game, and to push that up to 1.5 points isn't a huge expectation. Like you, we have no players (except for Henderson) who can be relied upon to score a goal every few matches. We've also had three or four false dawns - a good result followed by a few poor ones.
Still, there'll be some new places to go to next season - Morecambe, Port Vale, maybe Macclesfield - and (unlike some on this forum) I hope things get better. The fear that comes with a relegation into L2 is that only one more relegation means joining the likes of Hartlepool, Chester, Halifax, Gateshead, Wrexham, Chesterfield ... | | | |

Nathan Cameron, but then we've been missing him for large chunks of the last 3 seasons. Without injury, he would have been Championship standard. Sad but it is what it is.
Neil Danns - the only player who Bury fans think more of now than we did in August. For a guy Clark wouldn't give a squad number, his professionalism, calmness on the ball and evident enjoyment of playing football has been matched by nobody else bar maybe George Miller
Greg Leigh - there is a player there, who could be very good with better coaching.
Sad that we have never seen the real Stephen Dawson but we haven't. Since the injury he has done nowt but whine at referees. Hope he gets himself fit for next year wherever he hoovers up another signing on fee.
I can't wait for the season to be over. This'll be my 5th relegation and each one hurts less than the last. But more than the relegation the whole season this year has been completely devoid of redeeming feature, it's just been so utterly boring. I've hated nearly every minute of it and I can't wait for a couple of months off. | | | |
