For many seasons now we have been looking nervously over our shoulders at those clubs below us, working out what we need to do to make sure we stay up. This season, of course, it is totally different (and most welcome), but I guess that by force of habit I was looking at the full table this morning, and suddenly realised that if both Grimsby and Southend lose tonight, we are "SAFE".
Looking at that same thing in a more positive way, whatever those clubs do tonight, we need just one more win to be mathematically safe anyway..
But ...... those are the old days; much more exciting to be thinking how many more points we (might) need to ensure either automatic promotion or at least a play-off place. And if it ends up as a play-off place, then at least we shan't be playing Dagenham & Redbridge!!!!
