Re: Exiles Grandstand Walsall away
31Sounded like we bossed the second half well done to all the fans that went. all you could here was our fans how many did we take
Bringing on the subs at half time couldn't possibly have weakened what was an utterly dreadful first half performance.phil_in_npton wrote: February 18th, 2023, 4:54 pm Full Time 1-1, sounded as though on top second half. We certainly don’t weaken when bringing on subs these days.

What I agree with you on that post Brendan is that Tuesdays match is important. Where is disagree is that it is not as vital. It is. It is time to stick the knife in to one of our closest (I like them really) rivals and see them off as a rival. I have nothing against Hartlepool at all. However, with my County head on I wish them nothing but abject misery on Tuesday. That said, after Tuesdays game I hope they eventually stay up but stay behind us. It’s Rochdale +1 for me.Stan A.

Said it all along we ain't relegation candidates the gaffer post match was spot on what relegation battlepembsexile wrote: February 18th, 2023, 8:45 pmWhat I agree with you on that post Brendan is that Tuesdays match is important.

Wouldn't expect anything else but a positive public spin on our situation, but the reality is looking at the League table we still are a relegation candidate, albeit an outside one.UPTHEPORT wrote: February 19th, 2023, 12:34 amSaid it all along we ain't relegation candidates the gaffer post match was spot on what relegation battlepembsexile wrote: February 18th, 2023, 8:45 pmWhat I agree with you on that post Brendan is that Tuesdays match is important.

That I think is right. From the last four matches we have taken eight points, all from play-off or promotion candidates. As I said of Jim's original comment I thought we would survive but I was far from certain. Now I think we will survive and whilst not certain I would be very surprised if we ended up in the bottom two.OLDCROMWELLIAN wrote: February 19th, 2023, 8:27 amWouldn't expect anything else but a positive public spin on our situation, but the reality is looking at the League table we still are a relegation candidate, albeit an outside one.UPTHEPORT wrote: February 19th, 2023, 12:34 amSaid it all along we ain't relegation candidates the gaffer post match was spot on what relegation battlepembsexile wrote: February 18th, 2023, 8:45 pmWhat I agree with you on that post Brendan is that Tuesdays match is important.

To help you even further, Brendan, here are some numbers based on statistical probabilities. Not 100% sure of the methodology, but it reassuringly suggests that we have a 99.61% chance of finishing mid-table (ie, between the playoffs and the relegation zone) and only a 0.22% chance of being in the bottom two. We can argue about how right or wrong those figures might be, but the trajectory is clearly a very good one now. The aim should surely be to aim for the top half - we probably won't manage it, but the form required to get there would be an excellent springboard going into next season.Stan A.
