Looking at form and remaining fixtures not sure how much Crewe will have in the tank either.
Walsall will fancy their chances now as well
Wrexham and Mansfield can still finish 2nd or 3rd so will both keep up trying to win could be interesting if Crewe don't win any of their last games
I think there's some reality checks needed here.If we make the playoffs, we'll have had to win something like 42 points from the last 17 games.That's equivalent to 113 points over a full season.It's better than even Penney's juggernaut of a team managed in the best spell of form I have ever seen from a Rovers side in Autumn 2003.We have improved a lot, but we are a long way off being that good.
I think that Walsall 90th minute winner could be quite significant, and is a bit of a kick in the knackers actually. I now think they could be our biggest contenders for 7th place. That winning goal could now mean the difference between having to win 2 of our last 3, or all our last 3. This obviously becomes irrelevant depending on Crawley and barrows last games. Could be a massive goal that come the end of the season.

Yes of course you do. Yes of course I do, and I was right at that time. We'd just picked up 17 points from the previous 8 games. Excellent but not the once a century stuff that we needed.Anyone who genuinely thought we were likely to win the next 6 on the bounce doesn't know much about football or probability.It's still odds on that we won't end up getting 42+ points from our last 17 games. And (I shouldn't need to say this, but, y'know...this place) I'll be climbing the walls if we do.
Crewe could very easily lose their last 2 gamesHome to Wrexham & away at Colchester. There are so many permutations.
I think we will average around 1.5 points per game in the remaining games.that leaves us on less than 60 points.
