Feb is a great chance to put serious distance between us and the relegation zone

We’ve shown we can beat anyone in the last few games, but it would be great to demonstrate that we’re a cut above the teams at the bottom on the next few games

        Nobody can argue against that (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:08:31
        
        Yes, agreed - I think it is a big game, but not because I think we'll go down if we lose (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Feb 4, 12:57:24
        
        Tbf clement would definitely say it wasn’t he’s very big… (NCFC) - loz, Feb 4, 12:11:15
        
        Even let’s say we do go down (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:47:51
        
        100% (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Feb 4, 12:06:41
        
        Yep absolutely this … (NCFC) - loz, Feb 4, 12:06:14

      - Take the point entirely (NCFC) - norwaay, Feb 4, 12:04:27
      - If you just looked at the table you might think that (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:01:11
        
        Oxford at home? (NCFC) - jamesward, Feb 4, 12:03:49
        
        There was a helluva lot of sodden bedsheets after that game (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Feb 4, 12:34:34
        
        Details! (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:42:53
        
        I saw immediate improvement in that game (NCFC) - norwaay, Feb 4, 12:07:27
        
        We should have won it yes (NCFC) - jamesward, Feb 4, 12:28:29
        
        We did seem to be addicted to late sucker punches (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:43:42
        
        I felt sickened (NCFC) - norwaay, Feb 4, 12:31:44
        
        We'd created a load of chances and their keeper had a blinder (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Feb 4, 12:48:56
        
        Certainly more than enough chances in these highlights (NCFC) - jamesward, Feb 4, 12:57:19
        
        And the state of the table (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:57:57
        
        It was only November. Plenty of games left to catch up (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Feb 4, 13:05:35
        
        Psychologically hard to take (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 13:09:31
        
        Yep (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Feb 4, 12:59:34
        
        That left us 7 points off safety (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:52:41
        
        Yep, I was the same - totally gutted and at the time that (NCFC) - jamesward, Feb 4, 12:45:02
        
        Yep you called it (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:44:13
        
        True (NCFC) - APB, Feb 4, 12:11:47
      - Win the next two and we are basically safe … (NCFC) - loz, Feb 4, 11:58:04
        
        Should be fairly easy. Those teams are down there for a reason, (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Feb 4, 12:39:22
        
        Pretty much, and I'm confident we will end up safe (NCFC) - jamesward, Feb 4, 12:01:25
