So, nine games left. Two of those needed to catch up. Then Pompey, Sunderland and Charlton as write offs which leaves four games- 12 points. Takes us to 50 but I think that won’t be enough this season. A bigger miracle than last season is required imho.
Sorry to be so gloomy. |  |

Actually, it takes us to 56 points if we win the two catch up games - the Promised Land. No probs. | |

Next two games are make or break in reality. Need minimum of 4 points from them, realistically 6. |  | | |

4 points from the next 2 and we still have some chance.
6 points gives us half a chance...
The bookies have it about right we are 4/11 for relegation. |  | | |

Scunthorpe,Gillingham, Accrington,Wycombe,Bristol Rovers,Southend are all 44 points or less. Its in our own hands but it would be a miracle if we turned this one around. Certainly with Wimbledon looking like they might survive. |  |

I wouldn't say Charlton is a write off just yet. They look like they could be fairly comfortable in the play offs going into the last game of the season. If they can't come first or 4th in those play off places they may rest a few players for the final game against us. | | | |

Its uncanny having a repeat last game v Charlton surely it wont be the same last day miracle surely it cant happen again. With Thompson not now available who would be the unlikely hero to score the winner and at what odds I will go for Lillies at 200/1 or Mattieson at 150/1 Bunney would be a good call at 40/1 how about Wilbraham he did it last year for Bolton. | |

I reckon our run in is one of if not the hardest. Mathematically we can stay up. Probably we won't or will struggle to do so. However lets not concede defeat until we are actually down. No matter what some naysayers think we have potentially some great players. Let's spur them on for the relegation battle we are in and show League Dale are not going down without a fight

There is no doubt in my mind that this squad will fight also that there is enough quality to compete the players will not roll over until its over. The problem was the management of the squad now they are gone but is it too late? I think it possibly is but it will not be for want of trying the support of the fans is very very important in the remaining games. | |

Greetings from across Heywood
Relegated by a mile mid-April last year, 4 points clear of 4th with a better GD and game in hand this year, as games are running out.
Even if you go down (and no guarantee that you will though AFC Wimbledon turning up doesn't help you), there are some perks to it. | | | |

The football has been bad for 2 seasons Barry.
ultimately to many players not league 1 standard.
LG2 next year for the Dale.
How come your new bloke has not cut any cloth is he similar to SD1 loving smoke blown up his jacksy?? | | | |

Turning to Dale first Hill has made some poor decisions. You guys on here would have laid into us something fierce if we'd signed Wilbraham or Perkins. You appear very reliant on Henderson (who is off if you go down) and a good clear out is needed.
If it happens, then trust me L2 is pretty poor. Nice that 3 of the 4 sides in the automatic race play football too (Lincoln not so much).
But you're still nowhere near certs to go down. 2 quick wins and teams around will start to get nervous. Though your GD is genuinely mind blowing.
On to SD2 and I don't think you can say he's not cut cloth - he's only been at the club since December and contracts don't end til June. The summer will give us a clearer indication. But we aren't spanking money like that idiot Clark did, indeed we have more players out on loan than we have in and have a lot fewer goalkeepers (1) than you do.
But we can't get rid of Dawson, Edwards etc unless someone wants them. And so we are restricted as some contracts don't end til 2020. Throw in he is less publicity obsessed and we have had no grand project chat about music festivals or new stadia and it is a lot more encouraging than his garbage speaking predecessor (who, incidentally, is the subject of a very unflattering chant these days). | | | |

Would have Dawson back in an absolute heartbeat! We've needed a Jonah/Cavanagh/Dawson type player for some time now! |  | | |

Not anymore you wouldn't.
Desire is still there but there's a reason one of the highest paid players at the club can't get near the team. Big injury 10 mins into his 2nd game back at the club and he just can't do what he was so good at - the fussing, harrying, driving the team forward like an angrier Roy Keane. It's a shame because he was so good.
On a rare start did manage to get himself sent off for a magnificent foul in the Trophy at Mansfield though, reminded me of the good times. | | | |

Don’t see Cav in the same bracket as those two. Cav was an out and out CDM who’s only real job was to protect the back 4. Jones and Dawson went to work further up the pitch.
I’d prefer us to sign a cavanagh type midfielder at this point, our defence needs protecting. |  |

One of Hillys biggest mistakes letting go of Cav. Granted it allowed Camps to flourish but our record with him in the team was second to none and would probably have seen us over the line into the play offs. | | | |

We replaced Cavanagh with Dawson who Hill rehabilitated - he was a genuine "broken toy" in my opinion.
Dawson has been the bigger loss after he went chasing the money as he was a genuine League 2 player. | | | |
