must win tomorrow night?

Really have to start winning games, especially home games. If we were to balls it up tomorrow would that signal the end? Should have got a manager in weeks ago like rovers did. They've picked up 13 points in their last 5 games and are now out of danger.

Should really be a win, I think we can do it, but attacking from the start is essential.

Doesn't matter Jock. We should be concerned with more important issues like the composition of the GAS board, big flags, how loud the singing is, and who's the fan of the year.

On field stuff has taken a back seat. You'll get in trouble if you talk about football.

For what it's worth, if we don't beat teams like Barnet, we don't deserve to stay up .

No game is a must win in February however the next game up at Home Park after Barnet, Dagenham & Redbridge, is as close as it gets to a must-win game. We need a minimum of 6 points from the next 4 games to keep us in the mix bearing in mind the opposition.

We then enter a tough run of 5 games. If we can be there or thereabouts as we kick off against Northampton on 24th March then we have a season defining 3 games in a row against Northampton, Bradford and Hereford.

I'm confident we will do it although there are going to be times when the people in control will have to show some true grit.

On a seperate note if Fletcher pulls this off then he (and Romain) deserve the freedom of the City. Sir Alex might call this squeaky bum time but the real pressure is at the bottom of the league and relegation from League 2 is the worst of all. To take 1 point from 9 games and still escape would be one of the great managerial feats this club has witnessed.

I can't agree and can't be arsed to explain why.

I've never liked playing Barnet - remember the 2-3 that turned out to be Kevin Hodges' last match?

Every game's a must win. Wish I could feel more optimistic that we'll actually do it, though.

Well Accrington away on Saturday is tough, God how bad does that sound! but they have won 7 of their last 10 games, but we ought to be beating Barnet and Dagenham, and be aiming to take something from the re-arranged Macclesfield game. 6 or 7 points from those 4 games would be handy to say the least, but a defeat tomorrow night could wreck any confidence the team might have.

Under Fletcher we have picked up more points, still far too many draws, but he has been given an entirely new team from the one Peter Reid had to try and do something with. I still find Reid's dismissal slightly baffling when untried Fletcher was given the reins and has at least been given a chance with new players, where Reid had a whole squad of inexperienced youngsters and none of the team were being paid. Fletcher has at least had the players in a better frame of mind with wages going into their bank accounts for their Nandos, and has still only won 5 games out of 20 in the League, hardly freedom of the city material in my book, but a great achievement if they keep us up.

If as a football manager you don't view every match as a must win then you should not be in the game.

There is a difference between can win or should win and must win. Must win would suggest a that there is a consequence if you don't. Greenjock was hinting that if we do not win tomorrow would that mean that we were certainties for relegation, I disagree.

More importantly, are the Dewdneys vans out tomorrow night, or is it just Saturday matches?

Yes we have to beat them tomorrow.

^ Could someone answer cerbs' question as well.... it's vitally important that i know

Of course it isn't a must win. We're only second bottom FFS! And we can't expect to get results against high fliers like Barnet! Give fletch time! Tomorrow is all about fan fests, dave banana and big flags. Are the buses running?

Trust in brent

Think they are, but not 100% certain.

I always have my lunch (or in the case of an evening match, tea) before leaving the house.

Only just found out that they have won 4 in a row, teams usually falter when they get to argyle

Tonight is a game we surely have to win. We cant really afford many more 'unpositive' results now.
Time is running out..............
Draws are not much good im afraid.

3 points simples!

Only "must win tomorrow night"-the next 18 games are must wins!
