Taunton drew 0.0 at Braintree.
Didn't expect them to get anything there, so a worry both in terms of the extra point and their form.

Standup How many points do you think we need to survive? Do think 49 will be enough? (One more draw) Will 51 for sure be enough? (One more win) We probably have enough points to stay above Dartford but one more point should ensure that. Taunton hard to say as they have so many games but if we draw ...

Dartford, 2 difficult games out of their 3 fixtures. Unlikely to get to more than 49 points. Taunton ...

This isn't quite must win, in that defeat won't mean we're relegated. Likewise Bath.
Taunton & Havant may well be 'must win'.

I think it's going to be Dartford plus the loser of Taunton v Torquay to go down.

Does anyone know how Truro are financed?
They seem to have survived having to pay to rent grounds for home games all season, extra travel and with very little income from tiny crowds.

Unfortunately they play Eastbourne two days after us and Dartford last game of the season at the end of this ridiculous run of fixtures.

Agreed that we could not as for better fixtures. Still do not think it will be enough. We lose Monday it will be goodnight as we plumet to the depths no one could have imagined. It's not over if we lose to Truro but as we're unlikely to get anything at Bath it will probably leave us needing at leas...

Standipsotdown I love your optimism 2 or 3 winnable games! I wish. I think we will be lucky to get 2 pionts from our remaining games. With other teams around us picking good points here and there. I really do fear the worst! Did not think it could get any worse for torquay but I think the next coup...

Updated after Saturday 6th April. Defeat for Torquay which wasn’t unexpected but even worse that Dartford & Eastbourne won & Taunton picked up a point. Hemel 44 49 -15 Truro 38 46 -8 Torquay 42 45 -9 Eastbourne 42 44 -25 Dartford 43 43 -17 Taunton 40 41 -21 Havant 43 36 -34 Dover 43 27 -33 D...

I didn't go today but to lose only 1.0 having played 70 minutes with 10 men doesn't suggest either that the players have given up or that we won't pick up any more points but I stand to be corrected by anyone who was there.

Hemel 2.0 up v Truro.

Most likely be switched to Gloucester again.

Hopefully with a bit more notice than Maidstone had.

Taunton really are in trouble.
Effectively 6 points behind us and now down to two games in hand.
Four difficult away games to come.
