As you might expect, there's a good few dead rubbers here to be dutifully plodded through, but a surprising number of games still matter, so a quick summary of those ones: Barnsley v Cobblers - the former have shat the bed form-wise which is a terrible outcome heading into the playoffs, even...

Well we're almost done for this campaign, and only the playoff winner and final relegation spot remain to be confirmed. So I think it's fair enough to start this thread. What happened this season: My personal pre-season expectation was one of transition, and an 8th-10th finish, definitely not...

Is it over yet? No? Oh FFS, alright then.... A mere two fixtures, presumably late rearrangements because of the Tinpot, since Peterborough and ourselves are involved. Our game amazingly is still of marginal importance to Cambridge, since they can still mathematically go down if they lose...

We lurch kicking and screaming towards another weekend. key games for: Oxford (to keep a playoff spot) Barnsley (" ") Posh - they've all but secured their playoff spot but will want to keep momentum Bolton and Vale - one for promotion and one for survival Burton Derby (to seal an auto spot)...

Perhaps with the exception of Gas v Cambridge (Cambridge not mathematically safe but it would require a ridiculous set of results for them to go down now) then literally every game has something riding on it, so: Bolton v Shrews - Bolton still fighting for an auto spot, or failing that will be...

I usually don't even notice the promotion fixtures, but even I have to admit that there are a couple of humdingers in there, Bolton v Pompey and Oxford v Posh. Chelts v Bristol Rovers has been primarily noticeable in the build-up in terms of the amount of reverse trash-talk as to which team's...

appreciate that for some, this is far too early to say if you're not sure what division you'll be in next season. But for the more average among us, it's time to start the inevitable pointless speculation about what your squad's going to look like in 24/25. We no longer even disclose how long...

Probably the pick of these for me is Cheltenham v Carlisle, absolutely crucial game for CTFC but relegated teams can sometimes be a right bitch to play against since they can play without any fear, you can't be sure which team will turn up either. Does Simpson start playing the kids and sack...

Us and Posh have no league game in light of the Tinpot final the following day, but a fairly full day otherwise. As usual my attention is on the arse end of the table, and particularly the Burton/Chelts/Vale mini-league of doom, but in honesty I could see all three of those sides losing at the...

I'm still more interested in the relegation dogfight than the top end of the table, but you'd have to say that Portsmouth v Derby has the makings of a proper banger, hopefully it should still be a capacity crowd even though it's on Sky. Cheltenham, Burton and Vale will be the sides in the drop...

yet another relegation banger awaits in Fleetwood v Chelts. Pompey can look forward to the mother of all nailed-on wins at Adams Park - although mathematically we're still 11 points from assured safety, we're: a) more or less safe (getting relegated with 50 points has been done, but it's...

Relatively few games on this weekend given the international break, but the glory clash that stands out above all in these is the alluring power of Burton v Vale.

Tough games for most of the relegation dogfight teams. We have Northampton at home, I'm going, but only cos my mate's lad will be mascot for the day, so best to show some support and all. We've done well of late, but beyond hitting the beach and the Tinpot Final, I'm not that arsed about this...

Most teams are in action midweek. None of the fixtures leap to my attention since I don't really care about the top end of the table, but I guess Bolton v Oxford and Posh/ Stevenage are big enough games in the promotion run-in. Wigan at home for us, easy to forget they're in a slightly false...

And preferably why, because unexplained lists aren’t that much fun. Up: Stockport - where my dad’s from and still have relatives there, so a doable away game Wrexham - have a mate who supports them, plus I don’t mind the Hollywood hoopla/hype just for one game Mansfield - they’ve been in the...

More hot relegation dogfight six-pointers, Charlton v BELEAGUERED Carlisle United, Vale v Shrews, Reading v us. I'd certainly take a draw at The Select Car Leasing Stadium™ but I suspect we'll lose - I know that past record doesn't really matter but we've never won there, and it's my first (and...

Only a few games on tonight as teams look to make up games in hand. Nonetheless, 2 out of 3 look like bangers, one promotion six-pointer and a relegation one. As has already been noted on the relegation dogfight thread, if Cheltenham can get a win in their game, it'll cause some serious...

Fixture of the day: a relegation dogfight classic in Cheltenham v Burton Albion. If Chelts win, they go 2 points behind Burton with a game in hand. If Burton win, they claw one step closer to the beach, with games against the likes of Vale, Fleetwood and Cheltenham (again) looking the most...

Few nice relegation six-pointers in there, Burton v Carlisle, Vale v Fleetwood, and us v Chelts. I'm taking nothing for granted in our game, CTFC are 6th for form right now over the last 6 games (vs our 11th) and the fact that we managed a 3-1 at theirs a few weeks back means nothing, as the...

A couple of mouthwatering clashes there, firstly the relegation monster clash that is Cheltenham Town v Darren Moore's Port Vale (as they must now be rechristened). Will the owners of the Completely Suzuki stadium spawn it to a Completely Flukey win? Will Burslem's finest benefit from the New...
