11 would be a miracle

Think we'd have to play a joker to do it

A point is effectively a loss. If we don't win, I won't lose any sleep over it and will mentally move on to next season.

Exactly. We have to win all remaining games to be in the play offs IMO. A draw isn’t a good enough result, unfortunately- as under different circumstances it could’ve been.

It might be, anything could happen to those ahead of us in the last 4 games, but 4 wins would make it much more certain

Basically we focus on ourselves, if we come away from Wimbledon with a win, we take a look at the table and hope some things have gone our way, rinse and repeat for the 3 games after

Things could look more promising even after tomorrow night if Bradford put one over Notts County, as they then become very much reachable and in a little rut of a bad run

Reminder that the Wimbledon game is on sky sports plus

[peakblue]

An excellent position to be in this season
I can see us getting beat at Wimbledon and beating Bradford,the latter probably being our last win of the season
Or
Win all games and beat Notts county 7-0 in the play off final!!!

A 1-0 victory over county in the play off final would do nicely with a last minute mistake by Slocombe in the county goal to make it even sweeter lol

It's a far off dream guys we all know how it'll go

[Valley Blues]

From a pre-season prediction perspective, the seasons playing out perfectly for me.
I said we’d finish 2 points either side of the play-off line. Either sneak in in the last couple of weeks or just miss out.

Both scenarios are still very much on the table.

Yes, we’ve got it all to do but I’m not convinced 12 points from our last four is a necessity, as some have suggested.

A draw at Wimbledon wouldn’t necessarily be the end of the world.

Bradford at home on Monday, with the visitors under all sorts of pressure themselves and from glancing on their forum not overly confident in their away form followed by Morecambe at home are must-wins, clearly.

Could be set up nicely for needing a win at Accrington.

Notts are too far ahead and have a relatively favourable home fixture which should see them ok but both Grimsby and Colchester have not particularly pleasant run-ins either and I don’t think either will win three ( Grimsby only need 2 and a draw but their terrible GD could do for them ) so maybe 10 points could do it.

It’s the hope, as they say.

Yep. Focus on ourselves and get 12 points. If we get 12 - we should make it. 10 might do. Less than 10 probably not. Let’s win em all town. COYB!

What actions can we possibly take which would suggest we don't focus on ourselves?

Well most comments are focusing on other teams losing games and dropping points. Reality is that 4 wins and we make it, any less than that then we have to focus on others

Pretty much what I’d have said.

I thought they looked gash last night; disjointed and zero flow to their play.

I agree - which makes today so important.

[Tha Knows...]

Have Notts had less than 50% possession against anyone including us? Even when they've lost? It's a bit annoying.
Totally off thread there !
