I have a number of goals in my head for our run in, to chalk off one by one:1. Climb above Notts County2. Climb above Bradford3. Top half4. Top 105. 7thOne step at a time.
PS. The point about there being a lot of teams above us is that it makes it pointless to talk about how many points off the top 7 we are at the moment. Because we haven't just got to overtake the team currently in 7th place. We've also got to overtake the teams currently in 8th, 9th, 10th etc. And even if by some near miracle we DID catch Crawley, that could only happen if they have a dip in form. Which would mean, chances are a few other sides would also catch them.That's why it makes more sense to look at a likely points target. And when you do that, it is a MUCH harder task for us.Not to say I won't get a tiny playoff sex tingle if we beat them next week.

If only we hadn’t been robbed at Salford and thrown 2 points away at Bradford - will unfortunately turn out to be very costly, I think.
Those first 8 games are what’s cost us. Even if we had got one point per game we’d be right up there now
If we’d played the two postponed games and won them both we would currently be two points off the playoffs with 5 games to go.

Said to some lads at work if we won both these games over Easter we would get playoffs and as of right now I still believe that we will
Well my dare to dream is still on, and I’m really optimistic that the last playoff place will between Rovers and Crawley. We got 2 games in hand over a few teams above us, win them and we will be right on the heels of Crawley, the next 2 games are going to be really interesting. Crawley have two very hard games both away to Mansfield and Wrexham. We have Morecambe away then Walsall at Home. Keep this run going and the dream is ever so close. We have all got to get behind the team and and give them the support that this mini run deserves.Message to the club Now is the time to offer £5 adult tickets for the next home game.
Tuesday night is the biggest game for us this season, without a shadow of a doubt. A draw would be average, a loss and our dream is over, a win and everyone’s got to start dreaming
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.

If, and it’s a big if, it goes down to gillingham away for a potential playoff slot, I can see that god forsaken open temporary stand packed.
