Crawley 1 Tranmere 0... on 22:27 - Apr 15 with 437 views | noah4x4 | 2 - 0. The BBC 'shots on target' suggests Tranmere might have been a tad unlucky, but no complaints from any U's fans! Now we want Crawley to repeat this and eliminate Carlisle's game in hand and also spoil Notts County's escape route Our GD is now of even bigger value as it is a barrier for six teams (and we only have to outrun four). Tranmere (on 46) now face Gillingham (a); Blades (h); Orient (a); Bradford (h). Frankly, I think I would sooner be in U's shoes than this steep end of season challenge. Notts County (43) face Bristol City (a); Crawley (h); Swindon (h); Oldham (a). Maybe Notts C are the favourites to escape (with the U's) given recent good form. Carlisle (on 43) on the back of a 6-1 drubbing have the most shocking challenge; Walsall (h); Peterborough (a); Oldham (h); Crawley (a); Wolves (a). I doubt if they will pick up more than four points from these. Crewe (43) face Shrewsbury (away) on Good Friday so one of these teams must drop 3 or both drop 2. Then it's Colchester (h); Bristol City (a); Preston (h). If the U's take a point they might be doomed if they prior fail against the Shrews. Shrewsbury (41) face Crewe (home as above) then; Preston (a); Peterborough (h); Gillingham (a). Not too much encouragement for them there. Stevenage (39) face Sheffield Utd (a); Bristol City (h); Walsall (h) and Brentford (a). they already look doomed. What is intriging is that Gillingham and Oldham could also suddenly become vulnerable if Tranmere and the U's (respectively) both win on Friday. The Gills must then play Walsall (a); Preston (a) and finally Shrewsbury (h). Oldham must then face Carlisle (a) and Notts County (h) so more points dropped by our rivals; plus the Blades and Coventry. So in three "six pointers" Oldham could soar or be doomed. Tonights Crawley 2 -0 Tranmere was hence a massive result. [Post edited 15 Apr 2014 22:29]

Crawley 1 Tranmere 0... on 06:32 - Apr 16 with 412 views | noah4x4 | The trouble is Durham; the U's have only twice put 'back to back' wins together all season (our opening two league wins were punctuated by a cup defeat), but one was the combination of 0-2 Oldham and 4-0 Stevenage pre-and during Xmas. Repeat the same over Easter and we will all relax. I do think other results may matter on Good Friday given the fixtures around us. We might even be (barring a bizarre sequence of results) safe before Easter Sunday. Let us pray....... [Post edited 16 Apr 2014 6:34]
