Well that's another season over I guess

But another helluva roller-coaster ride. Even mid table mediocrity is never boring with Stanley. Still a chance to make it a season to remember with the final game to come.

The real problem we have is who we will keep for next season? I am delighted that we have achieved a 15 game unbeaten run, That alone is a fantastic achievement from a team we all were thinking were going down at Christmas. I hope we get some decent pre season friendlies this season. Unlike last season we didn't really get a challenge from a higher division side. I had friends asking about coming to the Luton game but as it is a nothing game now they won't be paying £20 to watch us.

I dont regard it as a nothing game at all, were playing one of the top sides in the division.

Financialy it may be ok to help the club, A win may keep the club a little higher again this may help with the finances. As far as achieving anything else it is the end of the dream for this season.

We wont really affect Luton, but I'm fairly certain that beating Stevenage will mean them staying down

Oh well, maybe the end-of-season glory hunters will go to Ewood Park instead?

Mathematically it's still possible but we'd need a miracle elsewhere

Keeping everything crossed for that one

The final game is a win-win for Stanley.
If we can beat Satanage and knock them out of the Play-ifs: sweetness and light.
If we can't, there's a chance we won't have to play them for at least one season: light and sweetness.

pathetic

lets focus on improving Accrington instead of being bitter towards other clubs

in case you haven't realised, Graham Wesley has not been the manager of Stevenage for a few years

This from someone who regards Stanley's season is over.
My highlight of the season is being called 'pathetic' by DAV0. It's a badge of honour.

P.S thanks for your 'latest news' about Westley. Obviously your subscription to Managers' Monthly wasn't wasted.

Why all the doom and gloom? All we need to do is win the last two

, and for any six of the seven things listed below to happen …….

Blackpool get 0 points – Notts Cty A, Leyton O H – not very likely

Stevenage get <= 1 – Yeovil A, us – losing at Yeovil lets us in, so not impossible

Carlisle get <= 2/3 – Newport H, Exeter A – quite likely to lose at Exeter, so OK

Wycombe get <= 2/3 – Morecambe A, Cambridge H – 2 draws quite possible

Mansfield get <= 2/3 - Portsmouth H, Crawley A – neither win easy

Colchester get <= 4, Leyton O A, Yeovil H – losing either lets us in

Cambridge get <= 4, Crawley H, Wycombe A – losing either lets us in

Where I’ve put <= 2/3, 3 would need us to have a better GD – not impossible in any of these cases as if we win both we must improve by 2 at least

On Stanley On!!

I think that maybe now the pressure of keeping the unbeaten run going is off, I can see us comfortably winning the last 2 & if we still manage to sneak into the last play off place as the Wombles did on the final day last season it's a bonus to be enjoyed & if not, at least it won't be gutting like the end of last season when it was a process we shouldn't have had to endure - looking forward to what hopefully will be a party atmosphere at the Crown next week

DAV007 · 23-04-2017, 13:39

If we make the playoffs I will leave accyweb.

That's how confident I am the season is over, the dreamers need to face reality
