Granted it's not an exact science, but if you apply the form of everyone over the past 5 games to the next 5, you end up with a table that looks a little like this:

Bradford City 44 22 11 11 52 32 20 77
Port Vale 44 21 13 10 49 38 11 76
Walsall 44 21 12 11 68 44 24 75
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doncaster R 43 21 11 11 57 44 13 74
AFC Wimbledon 44 20 13 11 52 29 23 73
Notts County 44 20 12 12 58 39 19 72
Grimsby Town 44 22 5 17 54 55 -1 71
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chesterfield 43 19 11 13 59 44 15 68
Colchester U 44 17 16 11 47 39 8 67

Crewe Alexandra 44 15 16 13 45 39 6 61

Need Crewe to beat Grimsby then it could look interesting

Need Vale to beat Bradfud, I've got £30 on them to win the league 🤣

Trouble is they're no good whenever they get chance to close the gap, they blow it.

Bring us all back into it assuming no Grimsby win (obviously assuming we win too)

Carlisle can’t really come here and shut up shop either given their predicament so that will open the game up naturally which I think will suit us.

Looking forward too it

Apply the form of everyone over the last 5 games to the league table now and....

Still think it's a bridge too far.

It would be very typical of us to miss out just and finish 8th

Another tasty few fixtures on Saturday (but we need to do our part early doors against a Tranmere side unbeaten in 6):

Bradford v Crewe
Colchester v Notts County
Grimsby v (a very desperate for points) Morecambe

Tranmere lost tonight.

We probably should now.

I’ll be honest 5 games ago I said absolutely no chance whatsoever of the play offs.

The win last night now makes it’s very interesting. Easter weekend looks like the key make / break for me. Positive results v Wimbledon and Bradford will surely see is pole position for play off spot ?

Regardless of that play off spot I’m enjoying the ride

Completely agree, we need maximum points before Easter weekend and then 3 points from Wimbledon and Bradford to be in with a sniff.
It may well come down to the final game of the season.

I'm going to miss the next two matches, I'll be on a flight to the states on Saturday...hopefully get the on board Wi-Fi to watch the game...then on Tuesday I'm in the middle of a meeting when we play Gillingham.....i may get very giddy by the time I've finished.
Exciting end to the season...not just us that threaten the play off positions...there will be some nervous teams looking over their shoulders

We have the momentum which should not be underestimated. Players coming back to fitness. A reasonably friendly run in. You never know....

Last 6 games form table looks good from our point of view, top of it picking up 4 more points than anyone else.
https://thefishy.co....tab=tab-overall

Whats slightly annoying is that what looks like an easier run in than others around us looking at the overall table isnt quite as good when you look at the form table :-
Tranmere - 4th 11pts from last 6
Gillingham - 16th 7pts
Fleetwood - 3rd 11pts
Wimbledon - 12th 8pts
Bradford - 13th 8pts
Morecambe - 5th 10pts
Accrington - 18th 6pts

[spireitebri]

Just in case we do make it, 4th v 7th and 5th v 6th. 1st legs are played on 11th May and 2nd legs are 16th and 17thMay, Final 26th May, Bank Holiday Monday.

Yeah I get the feeling come 5 pm Easter Monday we will be in the know on where we are.

Potential nightmare scenario incoming for me, I’ve booked to take the kids away that weekend of the first legs. And with 7th being the only likely finishing spot (if we did get there) that would make our home tie the 3.30 kick off on the Sunday.

Why do you do these things to me town? 🤣 booked it when the play off hopes looked all but dead.

By some miracle, please finish 6th so it’s the 6.30 kick off on the Sunday, that may be just about doable.
