Well, not everything is lost:
Notts County eased any relegation fears with a comfortable win over Colchester.
The U's David Mooney went close early on as his 25-yard chip beat Magpies goalkeeper Stuart Nelson, only to clip the post and bounce wide.
Notts then wrested control of the game and went ahead when Alan Gow set free Craig Westcarr, who poked the ball past Mark Cousins and tapped home.
It was 2-0 soon afterwards when Nathan Clarke deflected Connor Clifford's corner into his own net.
It wasn't that there was a credible relegation fear really, but there were a couple poor performances of late. The Pies may be only 4 points above the drop zone, but because of all the crappy weather this winter they have four games in hand on both Swindon and Walsall. Notts have only one game in hand on Dag & Red, but they are 7 points back. As for Bristol Rovers, the less said the better.
Next up is the FA Cup replay at Manchester City. That could get ugly, but the payday should be a nice one and I will get to watch it on TV.
Now, if they could just get into the promotion hunt...
