Hopefully by the time we play Dorking and Kiddy they'll have run out of steam, and then there's the Wealdstone and Oxford home games.

Four wins should do it, but it certainly doesn't leave us much wiggle room - and we really need to avoid defeat against Oldham.

Yeah agreed. I think from here winning all our home games & at least 4 points on the road will be required. Step by step though beating Wealdstone at home on Tues night is an absolute must.

We ain't winning 4 of them I'm afraid. Look, we've just got to finish as high as possible so we can point towards a continued improvement. We've basically just ran out of steam and to a certain extent players too. I think we'll probably win 2 and get a few draws.

Knowing Alty, we'll probably battle along until it all rests on getting a win from our last match at home to already - relegated Oxford.
Then we'll draw! 🙄

Reality Check :

Despite what I've just said, I think the vast majority of people on here would have grabbed our current situation with both hands if offered it at the start of the season. I know very well that I would.

Very true. I think most folk would agree we have punched above our weight with the squad we have currently.
Hopefully, we can improve the squad, with all players capable of performing to the first team standard when called upon. I said on another forum that we need to sign a few players who can impose themselves on a game. We are currently a little lightweight in physicality at present. I also think the key player in our current squad is Ethan Ross.

Oxford City in a vital final game has Eastbourne stamped all over it.

Oxford isn’t the problem.

More worried about Wealdstone and more so Oldham.

I wasn't going to say it!

Ethan Ross is a slight upgrade on Craig Dootson, so there's that I suppose.

I liked the fact that when we got promoted after the Eastbourne debacle....Dootson was quick to add his congratulations on social media and relieved the noose around his neck had been released  ;D

Didn't want to utterly jinx us by mentioning that gutting afternoon but it was certainly in my thoughts.

My biggest worry after the season ends, playoffs or not, is keeping the players we currently have. CCC springs to mind, especially with Chesterfield now being promoted. Is he under contract for next season too? I hope that is he does go, it takes a massive amount of money to prise him away.

Thoughts?
