Fair play to Sheff Wed mind. They were 12 points behind us and down in 8th after we beat them 5-0… They’ll be the favourites for the play-offs (if they don’t sneak top 2!) IMO.

They certainly have hit good form at the right time. They've got potentially tough games with Wycombe and Portsmouth coming up though.

I'm not sure which two I'd rather potentially face in the playoffs out of Rotherham, MK Dons, and Sheffield Wednesday. If Rotherham do drop out of the automatic spots, then they could crumble, so I'd take them. I'd have probably said I'd want to avoid MK Dons, but then they seem to be having a bit of a blip in form just as Wednesday are hitting a good patch.

Still, the thing for our club to concentrate on is winning our own games. Fingers are very much crossed.

Wycombe v Sheff Wed is massive. Whatever the result, someone is dropping points. That lets us in. Plymouth have a minging run-in too

Cambridge Saturday isn't a given mind, had some good results this season. Beat the mags away aswell. Be their cup final this.

It's a slight worry that they rested 7 players at home to Charlton.

It seems they may be coming to 'prove a point' as many of these L1 teams want to do ...

... I hope we smash them all over the SOL.

I have it with Wycombe dropping out. Got a feeling that Plymouth will beat MK Dons on last day of season. Think we'll beat Cambridge and Morecambe and draw with Rotherham

Think we'll go into the final day in 5th, needing a point to secure play offs.

That would suit me tbh.

Rotherham, Wigan and Wycombe don't play much football and I'd be happy to see them gone.

I think we'd have a better chance with the other three, especially if Pritchard is back ...

... I'm expecting him to start on Saturday.

FFS I've just done a Covid19 test... it was positive.

So no golf tomorrow (can't risk infecting other old duffers like myself), plus the next home game is in doubt...bollocks.

I now feel fine... which is even more galling!

Looks like a high bar this season to even get-to the play offs mind.

I had the impression that mid 70 points would normally do it. Looks like some team could easily miss out on 80+.

That ten game run where we got lost and got 6 or 7 points looks pivotal now.

But , where there is hope there will be us nutters still thinking it can go our way!
