Lose our next three games and people will be going into panic mode "If we can't beat Lincoln, etc what hope do we have against the likes of plymouth and Ipswich?" and it'll be all doom and gloom again. I'd rather go into april with a run of good results behind us and well clear of the bottom four. So yes, they are pretty important.

I'm not sure who said they weren't important?

They might have had 'problems' with their stand, but certainly had no problems on the pitch judging by the final scoreline.

Apologies, I missed that.

From what I can see we have 6 games we can really call 'winnable' - Lincoln (H), Cheltenham (A), Accrington (H), Fleetwood (A), Peterborough (A) *debatable* and Morecambe (H). The other 6 we obviously go in as underdogs but I think we will pick up a win or two.

We're on 43 points currently and I honestly think 47 will be enough this year, if we can win 2 of our next 3 we can really enjoy the end of the season with the pressure off.

Let's not worry about how many points we need to avoid the drop, it is more important that we finish the season on a high to provide a decent springboard for next year.. If we do that the points will look after themselves. Setting a minimum target carries the danger of your performance dropping off once you have reached it and consequential loss of forward momentum.

It's all about the process!

Same ref as the Devon Derby we had.
Indeed. Charles Breakspear: one of the better refs in the nether regions of EFL IMO

Stanno ought to have got a yellow in the Devon Derby but Mr Breakspear preferred to have a word in his shell like no doubt understanding how pumped up Jay was.

Ref probably heard disgusting chanting by Loangyle thugs about his dad like Jay did.
Hope Jay comes back to bite them scoring winner in front of Big Bank in April - Justice for Jay !
