Personally Bert, I've got more chance of a night out with Taylor Swift, than Hastings staying up.

First of all, Bert, do you know you put 30% chance of surviving ? I am sure you meant 3%. I am glad that this forum has come alive again, shame it`s because of the fact we are doomed. You are quite right Sean. But all we need is to win 4 games, isn`t it ? well we have not won a league game at home since November 5th last year, and that was against Whitehawk who themselves are struggling, although like a few of the bottom 6/7 clubs, they all seem to come up with the odd win or two, and before that we beat Chatham 3-2 in a game that ended with them scoring 2 goals in added time, that was October 1st. So the chances of winning 4 games and then needing more to be safe is where Taylor Swift comes into play.( I wish) In the last couple of seasons 39 points have been enough to stay up, that just cannot happen this season, Canvey in 18th place are already on 34 points , so my guess it`s going to be somewhere like 43 points. that`ll be 19 points we would need ( 6 wins). All that from a team who have scored less goals than any other team in the league. I like everyone else desperately want United to stay up, but I think its time to start thinking with our heads and not our hearts, because it really is going to take a miracle to get out of this mess.

Yes Bert, I am feeling very generous today so I'm l'll let you have 13% , although that may change next week, up or down, keep watching.

Don't think 4 points will be good enough against these two teams around us, in fact I think we need to beat Canvey home and away, also we need to beat Hendon at home and Bowers away just to get out of the bottom 4, a tough ask though considering we have only won 6 games all season.

So what you are thinking Mike is that Danny may well "jump ship" before it becomes mathematically impossible to stay up to preserve his CV of never been relegated as a manager?

I hope that he does stay until the last game though just to see it through.

As for next season if we do get relegated I'm not sure if he will stay or not, or whether we will want to keep him as I am not sure how long a contract he has?

I have questioned his tactics though since he's been here, also he doesn't seem to have any meaningful game plan at all other than to hoof the ball up the field as quickly as possible! Our passing game seems to have gone out of the window.

Still we will wait and see how it all unfolds.
