I don't think Jones was right about mathematical safety. We are safe of course, but we are not yet mathematically safe. To go down though I think we would have to lose our remaining games and 2 of Burton, Cheltenham and Port Vale have to win all of their remaining games. And those below us but above them have to win points too. Burton play Cheltenham but I don't think there are any other games between those three teams beyond that one.

If Burton beat Cheltenham and win all their games they will be on 52 points
If Port Vale win all 4 they'll be on 52 points
We lose all 3 and we're on 51 points
Cheltenham win all apart from Burton they're on 50 points
That's the ONLY way we get relegated, and Cheltenham play Peterborough in that, and Port Vale play Bolton.

Just to add, our GD is at least 22 better than any of the bottom five teams, so they would have to get those 52 to our 51
A very interesting interview by NJ. He's obviously here for the long term and quite clearly sees it as a project. I like what he's saying and, if supported by the owners, this could be the start of something special. As soon as I'm fit enough, and able, I'll be buying a ST, be that at Christmas or next season, (I'm out of it now for about 6 months). I'm feeling very optimistic about 24/25. Could we be on our way back?
“Now elite is not how much money you’ve got – elite is how your standards, culture and environment performs. That is what we want to do here. Players are setting those standards. Staff are setting those standards. The board are setting those standards.
“We are what we repeatedly do. If you have poor habits, we can’t have that.
“For too long this season, for whatever reason, the habits haven’t been good enough. They haven’t won enough games. They have drawn a lot of games. There is something missing – they have still drawn games under me. We have to find solutions to make us elite at this level.”

Wonder if Cheltenham had been Saturday, and Northampton tomorrow if we'd seen Chuks
