Obviously Stevenage will stiff us like usual, but IF we won, does put a bit of pressure on the others playing later.

Funny enough I just watched Fever Pitch tonight. It is quite a good watch. There is always a hope. Remember the season we beat Oxford. It was totally unexpected. They are always the finest moments.

The 5 points to make up, will take some doing. We have been in this situation a few times in the past and have fallen short. Probably need to win the next 4 to get into a good position for the last 5 games.

Look at the fixtures above, it could be looking totally different after our next set of games

I think to stand any realistic chance, we need at least 10 points from the next four games. It is Reading, Bolton & Huddersfield whom we need to outstrip. Still can't see us doing it. We were very fortunate yesterday but then again we took enough chances to get the win.
No doubt a few twists & turns yet. Funnily enough, I can see Huddersfield getting a result at Charlton -the latter won't go the rest of this season unbeaten.
Stevenage at home will be tough.

I fancy Charlton to sneak 2nd so reckon they’ll put Huddersfield to the sword.

I will be mightily peeved if Charlton get promotion after they got those 2 sucker punches in on 1st March.

It’s all hotting up for 6th place.our game against Stevenage is a must win game. Glad to see Blackpool winning at Northampton it will still keep them with an outside chance for 6 th spot and they play Bolton at home next week. Charlton losing 3-0 today means they need to beat Huddersfield next week.If we beat Stevenage with Bolton and Huddersfield losing we are back in the mix

We will have to win against Stevenage, Burton and Wigan. If we can get 9 pts from those 3 games we are in with a (small) chance.

Huddersfield currently 2-0 down at Charlton.

Watching Stockport v Burton, Stockport 1-0 up but burton are hard done by.

Burton just had a penalty appeal turned down that was the same that given against us at Bolton.
