Well, that makes things a lot simpler, doesn't it?
If Colchester win on Tuesday, we're relegated.
If they draw, we're relegated.
Only if they lose are we not mathematically relegated, but for us to stay up would require us to win and them to lose next Saturday, with a deficit of (at most) six goals for us to make up (it's currently seven, but remember to get to this point Colchester will have to lose another game).

Players will be unhappy about the effort and decision making leading up to the Crawley equalizer.

To be a bit more positive, Doncaster have won 9 games in a row now, and their past 2 games they’ve scored 4 goals in each.
I’m clutching at straws, but if we go into the last game with only a 3 GD to make up then there’s still a sliver of hope.

Players will be unhappy about the effort and decision making during the whole season leading up to our relegation, I would imagine. And please, I don't want to freak anyone out, but we are down. Really, we are.

Players will be unhappy about the effort and decision making leading up to the Crawley equalizer. That has been our problem all season which is why we are going down, plus other factors. ⚽️⚽️⚽️

It’s killing you that much that people are holding out hope? Everybody knows that it’s unlikely, not one person here is expecting to stay up, but with Doncaster’s current form then it’s not absurd to think they might win by a 3-4 goal margin on Tuesday. They’ve scored 4 goals in their last 2 games and won 9 on the bounce. It’s very unlikely, but it’s not winning the lottery level unlikely.

I believe I've been quite restrained. But please bear in mind that today is a day of considerable disappointment for many of us. There is a point beyond which people holding out 'hope' becomes something of a red rag. But, those still holding out 'hope' do not seem cognisant of that rather obvious point.

I think it was Terry Pratchett who wrote, one in a million chances happen 9 times out of ten.

Ok, let's put our faith in maxims drawn from fantasy world novels and a film titled Dumb and Dumber. Gotta work, right?
Personally I'm reminded of Baldrick's cunning plans.
