    I think we make the play offs, our home form will see us over the line. If we take 6pts from Orient and Vale then I will be convinced of a top 6 finish. Our remaining fixtures look decent. Just jeed to start avoiding defeat on the road.

    There is nothing to fear in the play offs. We can beat anyone on our day. Stockport, Town the rest, no problem. Bolton would be tricky mind.

    That was a disaster. But I believe only Posh and Reading have taken points from us in Injury time this season. I expect most teams have conceded at least twice late on.

    But we’d have won over 2 legs - same as how we got to Wembley vs Villa but lost vs Carlisle. #Fortress VP

    I don’t think we will manage to get a top 2 place on current form and I don’t really fancy us in the playoffs, however the next 4 games should all be winnable, do that and we might just go up automatically

    Loads of teams in on Town now they have played more games and i wouldnt fancy that set of games i mean the next 4

    Vale A
    Lincoln H
    Plymouth A
    Cardiff H

    Can see a fair few points being dropped got Bolton away and 2 home games against fellow teams after a play off place Reading and Wycombe think they will miss out

    if we do go to Wembley our fans will be louder than the opposition and we’ll have 12 men

    Fortunately, we had 12 men yesterday with the backing of the crowd. Mind you, so did Orient with the backing of the man in the middle!

    A lot will depend on who the opposition are. If it is Bolton, they will travel in numbers. If it’s the Dogs, then it will be a combative exchange. I agree we should be louder than Lincoln and Stockport. Looking at the others, then Wembley is an easy journey for a number of the pack, who are currently just outside the Play Offs, Reading and Luton could drum up numbers.

    I saw some guy on Youtube simulating the rest of the games 10,000 times. Bradford made the playoffs in 90% of the simulations, if that means anything.
    I agree it will be a tough run, I wish Bolton wasn't our final game of the season, as we could have been heading into the playoffs with a bit of momentum, and that game looks most likely to scupper it.

    Yeah, somebody posted a link to the youtube clip a few posts ago. Interesting that it favours Stevenage over Hudders for a PO position.

    Bolton isn’t our final game. Away at Exeter, on 2nd May is.
    The next few games against lower and mid table sides are pretty crucial. We need to pick up as many points as possible, because most of April - with games against Wycombe, Stevenage, Barnsley and Bolton - is a tough run in.

    Got a feeling that our last two games could be dead rubber may go the same for Bolton unless Lincoln/ Cardiff fook up badly ...............we could cause a major gap of the next week or so if we turn up now

    If we do make the playoffs, I hope the club give season ticket holders the opportunity to purchase their own seats before they go on general sale.

    I’ve just predicted the last ten results including 5 draws and we still end up on 78 points !!!
