    Even 2 wins and a draw would suffice.
    Over 2 points a match from now till end of season will be more than enough to take us up.

    If we got two wins and a draw, the draw would be best coming against Crewe IMO.

    We need a win now to capitalise on the inevitable dropped points in the Stevenage-Carlisle game, and we absolutely, categorically need to beat Carlisle.

    The Carlisle game is beyond huge. We can't afford to be too desperate though. We've got to get the balance just right for that game.

    It’s a balance, we can still afford a defeat but not many. Average if 2 pts per game !

    We certainly will lose some games between now and the end of the season, and they'll probably be random games we shouldn't be losing.

    But it's important that we don't lose to Carlisle or Northampton if we're serious challengers for the autos.

    Defeats in either and we become serious outsiders for me. Not to say we couldn't lose both and still somehow manage third, but it becomes exponentially less likely.

    But the same is true for this Saturday's game. Yeah, we might lose at Sutton or Swindon, and Grimsby might stun us, but we cannot, cannot, cannot lose at home to Hartlepool.

    No question JB. I just fear teams will see what others have done and stonewall at VP. I’m comfortable with away , as I have said for a long time, but we need to be irresistible at VP. We aren’t there yet!
    Always a rollercoaster!
