The straw we're clutching desperately to is who they've played in their great run. Just two defeats in 11 games but they were to rivals Boreham Wood and Dorking. All their points have come against also-rans. The one exception was Maidstone but they are limping home in very poor form now anyway.

If we don't end top though it won't be from failing to beat the likes of 'Boro. Bit like your 'the likes of Chesham results' it'll be failing to beat the Wellings, Hornchurches and Sloughs of this league

Good luck, go well

We failed to beat all three of those away too!

I think now more than ever before the 2 big Games on Good Friday are the keys to who gets top spot I refer to Eastbourne v Worthing and Truro v Torquay United.

Both Truro and Worthing have the advantage both with a 2 point lead over Eastbourne but Truro are favourites because of the best goal difference of 29 of the Top 4 teams.

The permutations are endless but our only chance of Top Spot is to win the last 3 games getting 89 points and hope Truro and Worthing slip up. I think however Eastbourne might win the League with 90 points.

They will be favourites at Home to beat Worthing in a South Coast Derby of huge importance to both clubs.

They are, without doubt.

It assisted but I wouldn't say luck won it for them though. They were gifted the first goal, I still struggle to belive that happened. The second, another mindfart, letting the ball bounce in the box was ruthlessly exploited... give a chance like that to their forward line Jephcott, Harvey etc and they'll punish you.

We lost that game rather than Truro won it, if that makes sense? They just play direct efficient football and if you do what we couldn’t boss both boxes, you'll win... and Friday I'm 100% a Gull

You win and we can still afford to take a point from Priory Lane (no-one has won there) and go a point clear with two to play

For Torquay to go up, realistically these four have to happen -

We have to win all three of our games.

We have to make up a -5 goal difference on Truro, or Truro have to fail to beat one of Weston Super Mare (A) or St Albans (H).

Worthing have to drop 3 points from Eastbourne (A), Dorking (H), Enfield (A).

Eastbourne have to fail to win any one of their last three game, Worthing (H), Salisbury (A), Weston Super Mare (H).

The bookies have us at 7-1 which seems to reasonably reflect our chances. Eastbourne also 7-1 which I think is generous.

Agreed I think if we win the last 3 games, we could win this, It is such a nail biter and would be great if we were in with a chance in the last game.
We have a good record against Truro and Weymouth, so fingers crossed 2 wins then all to play on the last game.
I predict a last-minute winner from Matty Jay to break the hearts of the Cornish!

What an amazing run between the top eight teams with three games to go.
Who would of thought it?
I can only thank those involved for such spectacle, what a turn around!
May luck be on our side and the referees be good.
Best wishes and destiny for all at TUFC.

It'll be the team that beat Worthing 4-0 that turns up at Plainmoor. Every team raises their game 50% when they come to Plainmoor , we have to deal with it and do the same

Agrees with my analysis that if we win all four games we still have a chance of winning the league but that it's out of our hands.

Would be a massive effort to do that, but we could.
As we seen pretty much anyone can beat anyone.
But it's football and that's why it's so fascinating.

I don't think Slough is an easy game, let alone truro. Slough have beaten Worthing 4-0, but also lost 4-0 to Weymouth.

A gentle reminder.

Good Friday Eastbourne v Worthing

Easter Monday WSM v Truro
Worthing v Dorking

We would then require:-

> Dorking fail to win all 4. Maximum 10 more points = 88
> Truro fail to win the other 3. Maximum 7 points = 87

Keep believing, exciting times.

We will have to play a lot better than we did on Saturday.

We have to be clinical in front of goal and not give away silly goals like we did on Saturday. Everything to play for. Impossible to predict but it is only right to try. COYY
