Yes. If we can snatch a win tonight (but how unlikely does that seem at this moment!) we'd have a chance of finishing in the top half of the table.
How unbelieveable was that at the start of the season?

The lads were alleged to have taken the foot off the gas the other week when we lost a couple of the easier games, maybe its the same tonight

Seems as though the goal came from poor defending from Mansfield free-kick

Yes we have collected some very valuable points from the last few games, but we should be throwing everything at this game just as we were away to woking on the very first day of the season but unfortunately i don't think we will tonight, or on sunday, but you never know...

Hello all. We are actually playing an ex league side away at a new venue, with no real pressure and possibly MTFC trying to prove a point. We've done bloody well this year so let us not get expectations out of hand. I'd love 6 more points but to be honest when I saw our last two earlier in the season I thought what a terrible finish.

last week 606 was full of luton fans saying they were going to murder this league next year
just like wrexham, and oxford, etc etc

those of us in the south might end up with a raw deal possibly losing 5 sides and getting 3 back

Fun n games at Anfield:

2129: GOAL Liverpool 2-3 Arsenal
Bigger cat among pigeons. Andrey Arshavin passes out to Samir Nasri on the left and Fabio Aurelio sidefoots the cross straight to the Russian, who finishes off a stunning hat-trick. This is quite incredible.

Not too bothered, obviously to win all games is the mission but having secured safety on Saturday who gives one? We Must however give it all at Cambridge on Saturday as it really matters.

The only good to come out of the night is it sounds like denham made an impact.

I pray he gets a start on Sunday. Why are we starting Wilkinson right mid? Before everyone comes on and says he's done a really good job last few games- thats rubbish. He played well at Wrexham away apart from that he's average at best.

Why are we playing loan players ahead of proper alty players?

Denham to start right mid on Sunday he deserves it and he's actually a really good player. Give Cambridge something to think about!

Sadly due to injury we have seen precious little of Denham this season and I personally hope the club can retain him for next season.. He is pacey and gets stuck in plus gives the team much needed width when going forward..

Fair enough if you believe that.

However, you must believe that Denham could give us even more- the  guy is fast, skilful, scores goals, doesn't stop running.

I thought Heathcote would love him for his work ethic but it seems he's going to let him slip by.

If match fitness is the issue then why not paly him in these games to get him fit! Lets have a proper winger on rather than centre mids or full backs playing wide mid!!

If match fitness is the issue then why not paly him in these games to get him fit! Lets have a proper winger on rather than centre mids or full backs playing wide mid!!

I suspect the whole 'We have to do more training - I can't I'm a tiler - You have to the team is playing sh*t - Alright I'm off - Okay we can compromise - Oops I've buggered my eye up and won't play for three months' situation has strained their relationship.

It's a shame because whilst his end-product is a little suspect in my opinion, I'd like to see him have a full season for us. He certainly has pace and skill.
