WANDERERS dropped two points in a tense goalless draw against local rivals Bury, setting the nerves jangling across the town.
A seven-point gap to third place has now been whittled down to two with just two games remaining.
As ever, we asked fans for a match report contained within a single tweet, or GIF. Here are some of the best…
@MarcIles Promotion is still in our hands, but Parky's insistence on using a system unsuited to his chosen starting XI is unsettling the fans.

@MarcIles Don't like to be negative with only 2 games to go but it's starting to feel like we may have completely blown it. So out of form & no GM!

@MarcIles Set up was wrong, still playing like Madine is there-improved when Henry came on and we played quick flowing football to feet,and it worked!

@MarcIles Panicking. Poor long balls. No plan B. Darren Pratley. We don't look like scoring.

@MarcIles Dire first half,we improved when Henry came on,no real creativity until then.Poor final ball,ALF won't win that many headers, pass to feet.

@MarcIles We sank to Bury's level. The ball was always in the air until the last 20 mins. Get it wide and pack the box. 5ft 8 Alf can't do it alone.

@MarcIles Can't fault the players one bit, effort was there, the system is totally wrong for them.. long ball to a lone 5ft3 striker doesn't work!
— Dan Sumner (@DanSumner16) April 19, 2017
@MarcIles Get the ball wider earlier and not be so direct. Frustrating. But ultimately it's in our hands. You can't win em all. But we need to now.

@MarcIles Going up with games to play is overrated, go up nervously looking at other teams latest scores is far more exciting pic.twitter.com/OhAserLg3K

@MarcIles The ball has had a stable night in hospital after the battering it took. However the fans are still suffering with painful necks

@MarcIles 1 point nearer promotion

@MarcIles Poor tactics against inferior team, can't play long ball to a 5'8 player. Howard hasn't got a brain in his head, Parky, Vela, overrated

@MarcIles After 30mins they ran out of ideas until Henry came on. This is #bwfc they never make things easy - still in our own hands with two to go 💪🏼

@MarcIles Played like we had Crouch up front not Le Fondre, much better once Henry came on & we ran at them with purpose. Tactics need to be spot on..
