Let’s start on the front foot, press high and grab a nice early goal in first 15 to settle any nerves and get us underway. 6 wins to go.

For me three wins will do it..even if we didn’t get another single point that would give us a28 pt lead over Bromley meaning they would need 10 wins out of their last 12..not a chance!

Even I am hoping its less than 6 wins required for Champions. I was hoping for 3 wins and 3 draws to be sufficient.

I won’t be backing us at the ridiculously short prices on offer today but we should win. I don’t think 2nd place will even hit 90pts come the final table.

I agree Mark, three wins will seal it for me, six wins is only mathematical certainty based on the positions today.
I’m expecting Bromley and Barnet to drop points over the next few games lowering the number of wins required each time they do. Neither of them have been able to put together a consistent run of decent form all season.
I’m expecting/hoping we clinch this at home against Fylde or Oxford City.

Hi mate, hope you’re well. Ironically if we’d beaten Bromley a win today could have sealed it over them. All hypothetical of course!

I really hope it’s Fylde out of those 2 so we can have proper post match celebrations in town on a Saturday. Clinching the league on a Tuesday night at home to Oxford City would be a bit of a damp squib in comparison.

It's tight at the bottom and amazing that all clubs from 11th down could find themselves fighting relegation. At the top, I reckon 4 more wins could do it.

Barnet and Bromley can’t both have 3 pts from their game.
God I hate this league.

Clearly so Dave, doesn’t change the fact that today to be mathematically certain we need six wins.
I honestly don’t think either of them are capable of winning every game to the end of the season and it is impossible for both of them to do so.
Their lack of consistency to put together a run of wins and ours to do so, has put us in a position we could have only dreamed about in August.
I am looking forward to the day we are promoted and we can see the team play without the pressure and I think we will then see some of the best football we have done this season.

Bromley have a big banana skin match today with Eastleigh, hopefully Agent McCallum bangs in a couple.

we are only 19 ahead of Bromley, they can get 98 points, so we need another 18 if Bromley win all their games

Hi Dave
How are you doing, hope you are well enough to get to a game soon.
That wasn’t me, we met at Morecambe many years ago, and spent an hour on the way back at Preston Station over a pint with my lad.

I think we agree then. As of today we need six more wins.
I just don’t think we will end up needing 6 wins from where we are today as neither of them appear capable of a consistent winning run.

Only 19? It's a chasm for Bromley to cross. Which they won't

6 more points will be more than enough. Though I still think we are capable of reaching the 100 point barrier. Once the pressure is off and we are champions I can see us absolutely battering some teams.
