We couldn't, could we?

Jay Williams being one booking away from a 3 match ban is a genuinely scary prospect.

Whatever anyone’s opinion of his abilities are, and I rate him very highly, we definitely cannot afford to be without him at this critically important point in the season.

We are all well aware of the standard of refs in our league so it only needs one daft or plainly unfair booking going against him and we’re done for.

Thank goodness we’ve got Harry Ransom to step in potentially but really we need every single fit and available player at this stage of the season for sure.

Unfortunately you don't get this number of bookings without cause

We have three winnable games and are capable of winning all three if we hold our nerve and our concentration.

Season over?!? We’re not 8 points outside the playoffs in 11th place and having to accept we won’t make them!! We’re in the playoffs still. Doncaster will have to win 11 games in a row to reach the playoffs, when does that ever happen? And they have 3 tricky matches remaining.

It makes it a good bit harder now to achieve, not least because it takes away even more margin for error in the few remaining games.

Especially with Doncaster breathing down our necks.

Barrow also have hard fixtures. After us they have Doncaster away (draw best for us?) and Bradford (again on Tues 23) and Mansfield at home. Walsall have Swindon and Bradford at home, and then Wimbledon away.

I will be looking out for the Colchester Grimsby result on Tuesday. A draw will mean Grimsby will be safe from relegation whereas a Colchester Win will mean Sutton will have to win their last two games to stay up.

I just looked at the form guide. We have lost 3 out of the last 6, but our form is still better than Barrow, Crewe, Gillingham, Walsall, and Wimbledon. As Scott has said before he needs to work on the team's confidence this week. If they play and start well they can beat anyone starting with Barrow on Tuesday.

That is what I would hope, but I would rather not leave it to the last game. We know how the team can play if they are under pressure to win.
