Hmmm interesting enough, but it only gives us 9 points out of all our remaining games. 6 of our remaining 11 matches are against teams in the bottom half of the table, so hopefully we'll pick up more than 9 points. especially after recent form. Still, we can only hope

[Slartibartfast]

They don't mention Farnborough either.....although you have to feel sorry for the Farnborough fans with the way their club has been shafted it would not be surprising to see them drop into the relegation zone.

I see they don't mention getting any points from their visit to Stonebridge Road.

The positive note is that they think that 9 more points will be enough to stay up.

 

I'm still not convinced about Stevenage though they have some tricky matches still to play, and at this end of the table points on the board are worth far more than games in hand.

No-one's ever gone down with 48 points or more in the last 10 years - there's a link here on the Burton forum showing what's needed to stay up:

 

Burton Albion

 

I could realistically see us getting 13 points from 33 in the games left, giving us 47 in total. Pure conjecture, obviously. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

''Stevenage will escape as they have games in hand and a good run of form.''

My, what a fine run of form. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[David Holden]

This is what they have to finish with:

 

22 feb 2003 A -:- v hereford united

01 mar 2003 H -:- v forest green rovers

04 mar 2003 A -:- v dagenham and redbridge

08 mar 2003 A -:- v barnet

15 mar 2003 H -:- v woking

22 mar 2003 A -:- v scarborough

24 mar 2003 H -:- v kettering town

29 mar 2003 H -:- v dagenham and redbridge

05 apr 2003 H -:- v leigh rmi

12 apr 2003 A -:- v burton albion

19 apr 2003 H -:- v doncaster rovers

21 apr 2003 A -:- v chester city

26 apr 2003 H -:- v southport

TBA A -:- v telford united

 

So D&R twice plus Hereford, Doncaster, & Chester, that takes care of the games in hand then.

That's play off form that

Suddenly I feel better. Westley back in the Ryman, mixing it with Carshalton. So much for being in the Premiership in 10 years....

Hmmm....I seem to recall equally preposterous claims made by Shittingbourne all those years ago....
Look where they are now....... wonderful ground though (snigger!)

[David Holden]

Another part of his theory relies on the fact that Dino Maamaria has left Leigh RMI for Stevenage. There has been no confirmation of this yet. (he was due to decide yesterday)

[Slartibartfast]

 

Dino no go <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[FleetFanatic]

Westley is now likely to focus his efforts on trying to sign Rocky Baptiste from former club Farnborough Town.....

 

Well, that's a done deal then. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

[Ashby Brewer]

Good to see that it has got some debate going. It was not an exact science that created the article but I still think that you will survive.

Historically Burton have a good record at Stonebridge Road, I think we won on all of our visits in the Dr Martens in the 90's. Think though our run may come to an end next weekend.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

I very much doubt it. He'll off load Stevenage just as he's done with Farnborough. Next stop Bristol and Exeter.
