    Strange how we all see things differently. I think Stevenage have one of the easiest run ins.

    Not sure I agree with that. Every one of their games is against mid table teams who have no chance of relegation or playoffs. Probably easier games than playing teams scrapping for survival or promotion.

    They do play Mansfield, but that's the only game that might see them dropping points imo.

    Sorry, yes they do play Mansfield. A draw from that game wouldn't go amiss.

    Yes I think it’s highly likely that Stevenage will take 2nd place which makes our game at Northampton massive. So long as we remain no more than 2 points behind them after we’ve played then we go to Crewe knowing a win almost certainly sends us up.
    Carlisle and Stockport will trip up over each other and both will end up in playoffs.

    I just think that on current form, Stevenage are not great and will surrender the auto spot they looked so nailed on for for half of the season, along with a long injury list. Bring it on

    Max of 8. Salford can get 78, we have 71.

    I'd say Stevenage have the easiest run in

    If one of those is Northampton then I'd agree 100%

    Actually a minimum, but you are correct on the number. So 2 wins and 2 draws, or 3 wins enough to see City across the first line.

    ??? 79 points is that absolute maximum we are likely to need for a play off spot.

    Despite the relatively easy run in I think Stevenage will promotion and we will go up in second ahead of Northampton possibly on GD.

    Salford will miss the play offs, and Stockport will win them.

    Wednesdays lottery numbers are 3, 11 27, 32,45 & 54.

    The next two games are the vital ones for us if we can win them it almost guarantees us a play off spot. The last week is looking very difficult Northampton the best team I have seen at VP this season and Orient who will be really up for it in front of a massive crowd so two wins this week would be very welcome
