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.

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

Seems truro were extremely lucky at worthing. Some horrific decisions by the ref(sigh). Lavercombe should of been sent off and worthing missed alot of chances, but that's football.

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.

Win our last three games and we still have a chance of winning the league but will finish in top three (unless Worthing win their last two games by ten more than we do), as Worthing and Eastbourne play each other so can’t both get to 89 points with a better goal difference than us.

Well we are now really on the final run In with just 3 games left to play.

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.

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!

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.
