I'm losing count of the "Must win games" this season, but win tomorrow and we're out of the bottom 4 for the first time since when? Even another draw might do it but I'm getting too old for this kind of pressure! [Post edited 20 Apr 2018 15:02]

Only one thing is certain at this point - if we draw on Saturday it'll be dubbed another "mustn't lose" game |  |

Whatever happens - at this moment we have done wonderfully to even give ourselves a chance.
Fleetwood's recovery has been exceptional- very harsh on Sheridan to lose his job.
Oldham. 34 10 9 15 -10 39
Wimbledon. 35 10 8 17 -12 38
Northampton 35 10 8 17 -22 38
Fleetwood. 34 10 7 17 -11 37
MK Dons. 35 7 11 17 -16 32
bury 34 7 8 19 -22 29
Rochdale. 30 5 11 14 -12 26
The 20 points we've gained over the last 12 games would average at a 73 point total over the season. Also looking at that table you could say that we have won the 4 games in hand on Oldham.

Sorry guys but I honestly cannot see another win this season...
I think we have dropped too many points recently that will ultimately cost us.
Hope I am wrong though. |  |

Lets hope we start with a striker then as against the team that came out against Oldham |  | | |

As well as people are saying Calvin is playing 3 goals in 27 league games is not good enough and one of the main reasons we are where we are.
Time to gamble and give someone like Gillam a chance up front. | | | |

Bradford have terrible recent form on the road, only one draw out of their previous 8 games and 3 goals with 18 conceded. There surely hasn't been a better time to play them? | | | |

On the flip side they probably think the same. We've won 1 home game since November. | | | |

So he's lost his job then...in 2 weeks time.  | |

Good point. I tend to forget that it's actually our away form that's sparked our revival, might play safe and go for 0-0 on my acca then. | | | |

No he has come to the end of his fixed term contract, he has lost nothing | |

Last season they had nothing to play for and rested 8-9 of their starting X1 - we needed a win to possibly get in the playoffs and we couldn't beat them. Whatever form they are in they are always tricky opponents and they will be cheered on by a big following. We are desperately in need of a win in this one or we are going to run out of games. | |

As mr Barton's ban expires in June , I expect his appointment was always arranged for then, mr Sheridan almost certainly took the job knowing this | |

Always a great game against Bradford and they always bring a large vocal support. The 4-3 there earlier in the season was a genuinely great game despite the loss. Could’ve been 4-4 if we hadn’t missed yet another penalty! |  | | |

Yes I normally agree on the atmosphere against Bradford. With their season petering out they have only sold 1000 tickets this time | | | |

No obv solution to our lack of goals. 0-0 written all over it. Without picking on anyone, we generally can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo. Dobre? |  |
| |

Nobody, that's why we need to try something new rather than pumping the ball to Andrew for absolutely no gain all game. If players like Gillam can't get a game when we have no striker that's scored more than 3 goals all season then when is he ever going to play?
At this level anyway. | | | |
| Survival still in our hands. on 08:26 - Apr 21 with 3495 views | FalingeParka |
Been covered many times, and hot ashes may be poured on my head for bringing up again, but I just don't get Calvin. The game is about goals. | |

What have you seen to make you suggest he is the one to call upon in the trenches? I personally think he's a very frustrating player for a team in our position. I wouldn't be disappointed to see him start, but I haven't seen anything in any of his performances to make me believe he is a game changer at this end of the table. I am also in the camp that says Gillam: If not now then when? |  | | |

Calvin is a leader on the pitch..........he has only had 1 red card in his career and leads by example both on and off the pitch ........... he is equally important defensively as he is holding up the ball and trying to bring players into the game around him......... he has been a true warrior this season ..........ok ........his goal scoring prowess is incredibly poor for a forward but he brings so much more to the team ......... I would suggest that the vast majority of our supporters recognise these qualities and his importance to the starting 11......... Especially in Hendo's absence!!! | | | |

Well, seen as much as anyone else really, just a suggestion. Without Hendo, we are properly goal shy, and he seems a reasonable bet to try, start or sub.
We can't be thinking a point is good from this one. | |

Yes to all of that. As I said, been discussed before. Was not wanting to be drawn into the CA debate, but I blew it. He's a warrior yes, a 100% hero in a way, does all sorts all over the pitch for us. He's the focal point and there's the rub. And it puts all out of whack. May I remind you we may be going down? Captain Marvel does not make a team and 3 (three) goals is pitiful.
We can't win at home because it's all knocked up to Calvin and nothing ever comes of it. Away, it's all counter and on the deck and see the benefit. See us at Spurs away first half.
Now, playing at home where the opposition, as Bradford will, set their stall out not to concede is not easy. You need something, beat a player, hence mere suggestion of Dobre. | |

Difficult question who will be our next goal scorer? O.G. maybe. | | | |
