Mk Dons were totally outplaying Barnsley and leading 4 -1

We were trailing 2 - 1 and facing relegation (then everything changed within 15 minutes)

We need Burton to win 2 games this week and us to draw at Exeter and we would be safe

Pretty simple really

Well done to the management and players for at least taking it to the final weekend

Or for Burton to win one of them and us beat Exeter.

Maybe imagine if Barnsley had got a 5th how deflated the dons would have been going into this week where as we are bouncing.

But they didn't!

Milton Keynes v Morecambe. No not to play each other, but with today's results, who is up for the last week more, and who is going forward with more nerves.

Irrelevant. It is in Cambridge's hands. It is theirs to lose.

It`s down to Burton to help us out by beating Cambridge because i think Cambridge will beat Forest Green at home next sunday

Could also go down to goal difference !!!!

Hope not

Oxford GD -6
Milton Keynes GD -22
Morecambe GD -30
Cambridge -28

If Milton Keynes win 1-0, we'd have to win 9-0
If Cambridge draw on Wednesday, then we'd need to score two goals at Exeter, more than they score at Forest Green.
If Accrington beat Oxford, we'd have to score 20+ goals!

We could end up with four teams on 47 points, with two going down on goal difference. We'd definitely be one of the two going down in that situation.

Burton beat Cambridge then win or draw with Milton Keynes and we have a decent chance.

COME ON YOU BREWERS!!!

No, it isn't fate. It is King Derek

Cambridge will beat FGR on the last day so we need to go to Exeter and get the win. As others have said, it's in Cambridge's hands and I'd say they probably have the best chance of staying up

Not sure we could do it on goal difference without an avalanche of goals at Exeter.

If we lose we are down as MK would be much better GD even if they lost.

If we draw in the event of MK losing we would be above them but Cambridge with 2 draws would still have a better GD than us.

If we win we are on 47 and if Cambridge get a draw and a win , our win would have to be 3 goals better than their win to be above them !

Exciting times. I thought we were down weeks ago after I left Barnsley's ground so an achievement by Derek and the team to take it to the last day.

Fate ....... or whatever.

Who did we beat to get into the league? EXETER
Who did BURTON play for their first game in the league? MORECAMBE (and we had a banner welcoming them!!)

Small world isn't it?

Who were Morecambe playing in the first Morecambe match that I ever watched? ..... Burscough.

Mmmmm ... a sense of perspective there too??

Brewers fan here.

I'm really hoping we can win the next 2 games and then it's over to you to finish the job. I enjoy our encounters (let's forget New Year's Day) and will always remember your banner when we first joined the Football League.

So 3 points tonight followed by 3 more against franchise FC and hopefully we can look forward to playing each other again next season.

Good Luck guys.

Thanks mate
