If we win the next three, the momentum will carry us over the line. Nobody will stop us if we can do that.

Keep half an eye on both Crewe and Barrow - especially Barrow, as we play them at home quite soon.

Who’d have thought Mansfield wouldn’t be in the top 3 today?

If Barrow don't beat Bradford there's a possibility they don't pick up a single point with their fixtures

Wimbledon play Walsall on the final day. They can't both take three points!

I believe we will win every game for the rest of the season. Playing as we are there’s no one able to touch us. However, the natural pessimist in me rears it’s ugly head and I still don’t think that will be enough. Hope I’m wrong.

Tuesday night fixtures

Donny v Walsall
Wrexham v Crawley
Crewe v Morecambe


One thing we possibly overlook is the fact other teams are still playing teams around us.

Let’s hope for positive results in all 3 games Tuesday night for us

In terms of beating last season’s points total, we’ve already done it. Just keep racking up the points and see where we can get. No pressure.

Think Morecambe are at home v Crewe

We've got multiple threads now on the same topic. We're all doing the maths and hoping other teams help us out. This run is all about one thing which hasn't changed, and that's winning the next game. Simples.

If after the barrow game were within 5 points or less then we have a great chance of taking it to the last game.
We’re the only team playing that Tuesday after barrow so if we win that we would be 2 points off going into the last game.
So we’ve just got to make up 2 points over the next 3 games

Tuesday night we beat Walsall & :-

Morecombe vs Crewe is a draw,

Wrexham beat Crawley, the table will look like this:-

6th Crewe played 42 points 68

7th Crawley played 42 points 65

8th Wimbledon played 43 points 62

9th Walsall played 42 points 62

10th Rovers played 42 points 61

11th Morecombe played 43 points 61

12th Gillingham played 43 points 60

With 3 or 4 games left to play for those teams it’ll be game on.

You are missing a small point here, which could be an Achilles heel if the results do go our way from now till season end.
Goal diff.
In the case of Crawley and Crewe rovers need a 13/14 goal swing in our favour.

Dare to dream.  Where have I heard that before?

Extremely rare dreams come true and I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to wake up yet.

Do you think the Donny public, the occasionals out there, will turn out again on Tuesday in numbers like last week? Do they realise how huge this could be and want to play a part in something exceptional?

This team deserves every help it can get from every man, woman & child with an interest in football. 

I'd love to see the DFP with a headline. Your Football Club Needs You! Be the 12th Man.

JR seems to have gone strangely quiet. I hope he's well and enjoying this.

Didn't a team turn round a goal difference not too long ago? Was that Bristol Rovers who needed to win big and scored 6 of 7 or summat?;

This is officially astonishing now. Looking at the league table we actually look like we’re in the hunt! Incredible scenes. An amazing turnaround this season.

I’m still thinking we can do it, all we can do is keep up the winning momentum, and hope Crawley slip up, their next game to Colchester who are fighting for EFL survival, and our next game to Accrington will be really crucial. I can’t wait to see how the table stands come 5pm on Saturday. I hope Stanley doesn’t spoil our hopes.

February 9th. 22nd. 30 played, 29 points.
April 9th. 10th. 12 games later, 61 points.

Astonishing turnaround. It's well and truly on now!

I have a number of goals in my head for our run in, to chalk off one by one:
1. Climb above Notts County
2. Climb above Bradford
3. Top half
4. Top 10
5. 7th

One step at a time.
No 1 crossed off.
No 2 crossed off.
No 3 crossed off.
No 4 crossed off.
f**k me!

Is it really 67 years since we last won 7 in a row? Well I’m optimistic it’s going to be 8 , 9 , 10 and then 11

After this run literally anything could happen but you would imagine it is probably Crawley only we are chasing now. Depending on your point of view, it is either an easy or incredibly hard run in that they have now.

colchester have everything to play for this sat. they have games in hand and safety is very possible for them. i would not write them off in their gam against crawley. its not lost on me that rovers have to go there either.

I don’t think Crawley’s fixtures are easy. They’ve got Barrow who are above them plus 3 teams fighting for their lives. They’d be easier fixtures IMO if they were against mid-table teams with nothing to play for.

The poor goal difference is like being an extra point behind. If we keep winning that will be chipped away at. At the minute there is no pressure on the group, can they do it if the pressure is on and we need to say, win the last game? Fantastic the turnaround, what has caused this, why were we so bad before? It just shows that the signings made were good enough.

The underperformance of either the manager and players or both stopped us winning the league that we should have. As it is great that we are doing well now but can’t help feeling disappointed at what could have been. Getting promoted would soften that blow.
