I feel like we should be wanting a Barrow win. We don't need to catch one of them, and Crawley getting no points makes them easier to catch.
ive been focussed on the teams currently in top 7, when working out what we need, forgetting theres a slew of teams just behind us, namely bradford, who can get 69 pts, now that is one team i deffo wouldnt want to face!! FRIKKIN ANDY COOK!!!! :-(
I was just thinking the same. I’m in.Perhaps we can have a thread on here to accompany the game.
A draw is the best result as we could still over take crawley with the game in hand and Barrow have Mansfield on the last day of the season

There is next to zero chance of US playing Bradford in the playoffs. One of Crawley and Barrow will have at least 68 points tomorrow night. Bradford can only get 69 points and they have a worse GD than either of those teams.It's possible Bradford could just about overtake one of those teams. But both they and we need to overtake both of them AND then win both of our semis for us to play Bradford in the playoffs.Not going to happen.

It's a very tough call......If Crawley lose, they can still get 71 points and they have a better GD than us, so we'd still need to win all the final 3 to ensure 7th place.In which case, the optimal result for us is possibly a draw tomorrow night. Means 3 wins for us still beats Crawley, but it keeps Barrow within reach as a Plan B in case we don't win all three.That said, it'll be what it is.

Hang on, what about Walsall?
Put it this way. Forget the rest, if we win on Saturday we are (very likely) 2 wins off being in the playoffs. Thats the only permutation that matters.
I did try and work out if there was a scenario where us and Gillingham could play out a result like Germany v Austria in 1982 World cup and both qualify. Everyone would hate us, but we would not care.I think it would need a draw tomorrow night, both Barrow and Crawley to lose all their remaining games and us and Gillingham to win the our remaining games before the final day. If Barrow and Crawley finish earlier than us with Gillingham winning. We could relax.I know I should be relaxing and enjoying it, the best run of wins in my lifetime and the only thing that matters is beating Barrow, but I keep looking at the table.It is the hope that kills you.
