Can we do it?

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Never give up. We knew the chances were slim and we've just got to keep going.

It's a huge achievement as it is. The fat lady ain't singing yet.

[Upton Rover]

I think Crawley will start to lose some games in their last few games, I'm still optimistic that we can go on and win all our remaining games, I can’t recall me ever thinking we would lose a game, but it’s going to take a good side to do it.

[Jonathan]

Literally all we can do is keep winning games. Elsewhere strange results can happen, especially when the pressure starts to shift on teams.

[Spilsby Red]

Even if we don’t make the playoffs but keep winning, then we take this into next season. Players will like what we are doing so will hopefully come to us or stay with us. GM, thanks for coming back.

[Jersey Rover]

I’m looking at Crewe to fold rather than Crawley

[Arsenal Of The North]

5th spot to me looks like it’s opened up for us to try and catch, might not happen but the target is there, with barrow, Walsall and Gillingham to play in front of us, let’s see where we go

[dickos1]

Only conceded one goal in the last 6 games
That’s pretty unbelievable

[StocksArmy]

I think if Crawley lose at Wrexham and we beat Walsall on Tuesday it could be interesting.

I am just enjoying what we are currently doing though. I now have full confidence in the club, manager and players again and its been a very long time since I have felt this way.

Playoffs would be fantastic but if we dont quite make it I will still feel that we have salvaged something from the season and look forward to the next.

Does anybody know the most wins we have put together btw? Could a record be broken here?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Don't focus on 1 side.

My model is saying 72 points for 7th place.

[Copps is Magic]

Crawley are in decent form as well as us. Crewe (near) bottom of the form table

[Copps is Magic]

My model is saying 72 points for 7th place.

I'm impressed she knows so much about football.

Sexist.

[roversdude]

Crewe are struggling and struggling with injuries

[GazLaz]

This. Just get the points.

[Chris Black come back]

If we can get to the Barrow or even the Gillingham game still in with even a slim chance, there is going to be some atmosphere.

10 in 1946-47, which was also the last time we won more than 6 on the bounce, and also the club all time record

[Upton Rover]

Hope you are right, I can see them getting another 3 points home to Grimsby
I do believe we can keep the wins coming right until the end

[normal rules]

There isn’t enough room at Gillingham if it gets to that. Every man, and their dog, will want to be there.

[Dabbermoo]

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.

Has your opinion changed yet?

[DonnyBazR0ver]

What we're witnessing is rare and remarkable. Every challenge put before the players, they have come through and delivered. Not conceding a single goal in the last 4 matches is also remarkable, particularly at this level. It's not like we've been relying on a heavy dose of luck, every win has been won on merit.

[Campsall rover]

Gillingham are almost out of it now with 2 consecutive defeats.
They have only 3 to play

I said they would be our biggest threat before Mondays matches
They were horrendous in the 2nd half at Harrogate.
Just shows I know nowt
That was a poor prediction
Crawley and Walsall are the threats now imo
We must win on Tues
We almost certainly need 5 more wins

[Bristol Red Rover]

Loving this rocket like rise from the lower regions. If just some of this can continue into next season I'm happy, whatever division it is.

[ravenrover]

Someone said it previously might we be in a spot of bother over the "concussion" sub for  Wood and then playing him today? It sems all a bit messy to me

You're not putting much faith in our management team knowing what they're doing, RR.

Chill, it will all be in hand.

[ravenrover]

After some of the shenanigans in the transfer window re loaning players to Irish clubs, doesn't fil you with a lot of confidence

[DRFC_TID_93]

Won't be an issue. Concussion subs are permitted if a player is showing signs of a concussion, not a guaranteed one. A medical assessment is then done after the game, and if medically cleared of a concussion, can then return to training and matches. I'm sure this will have been the procedure and deemed to just be a cut, rather than a concussion

[dknward2]

The club doctor will have passed wood fit to play and the club admin staff will have checked every rule in the book to make sure we are covered

[andysly]

For the first time I've been tempted to look at how my shifts fall in relation to the play off dates...hope I've not jinxed it

[Ryaldinhio]

I said a few weeks ago that Crawley and Walsall were the biggest threat. We have best one of them, to keep the hopes alive we MUST beat Walsall Tuesday.

They will be more nervous about playing us than we will be of playing them. I have loved most of GMs interviews through the season but at the minute are a particular joy. It's one game at a time and the lads are enjoying themselves. Let's just ride the wave!

We had 7 cup finals to play to get near playoffs, now we have 5.

A win on Tuesday would be massive. Also other important fixtures:

Morecambe v Crewe
Wrexham v Crawley

Could do with 3 home wins on Tuesday!!!

Currently just under 8/1 for the 3 home wins!

A Bradford win against Barrow wouldn’t be bad either IF we win as well!
