There are definitely 6 winnable games in those 15. In fact, I'd say there aren't really any that you look at and say "we won't win that". Even Peterborough at home, who I think looks like our toughest remaining game.

We are an upper mid-table team who had an atrocious start. We will be fine.

Been a while but at least we managed to get one post on this thread in March.

10 wins.
5 more to go.
8 games.

We might not need that many wins but it is the target and focus on the target must remain resolute.

Five more wins (and no draws) would see us on 53 points. So, at this stage of the season, 4 wins (and 50 points) should surely see us safe?

My biggest fear is we might get nothing at all from the final 3 games (home to Lincoln and Peterborough, finishing with away to Stevenage). So, the next 5 games (all against bottom-half teams, except Orient, currently 10th) are absolutely critical.

Yes, but DC set the wins target and we have to keep resolute focus on achieving it. If we sit back thinking the task is easier then that is the wrong mindset.

I’d settle for 12 points (4 wins) or even 11 points (3 wins and 2 draws) from the next 5 games.

Whisper it quietly, but I suspect even DC might be rather happy with that!

Still fighting, still fighting! Too little too late? It’s the hope which kills you…

11 wins down. Not enough games to get four more but three will do it.

The sword of Damocles has not yet fallen.

12 wins down.

Will one more do it?

A 15th would have seen us safe, so as usual the countdown thread was on the money.
