Lincoln (home) and Newport County (away) in that order. We'll tonk Notts County 2-1 (as I'm not there!)

2-1 sounds more of a tink than a tonk.
Would take that though for sure.

Legends Day. Last game, if we need points I am convinced we will get them.
Plus, we want revenge.

Jumping the gun a bit ( completely against my style), but if we can win tomorrow, there are some very juicy fixtures to be had next Friday.
Obviously we have a tough game ourselves, but there is the potential there to make up some points on teams.
Lincoln v Exeter
Mansfield v Accrington
Notts County v Wycombe

Newport draw a lot of games and I would gladly take a point given they don't often lose at home. 3 would be amazing given that some of our rivals are guaranteed to lose point in the fixtures you've highlighted.

I guess i'm more greedy. I would begrudgingly take the point.

Yeah, you usually do and that's got absolutely nowt to do with football.

Of course people would watch if it’s successful

If every team played that way the crowds would drop like a stone across the country.
'no-one will watch' was obviously a figure of speech.

Following today's results it is most definitely worth bumping Good Friday's fixture list again.
Clear chance to make up some points with a positive result at Newport for the Sky Blues.

A win at Newport would be huuuge now.

I think results have been going our way for a good 2-3 weeks now. Insane luck.
In our back and forths over the last fortnight, I expected the likes of Mansfield and Wycombe to slip up against each other. Today, Port Vale, without a win in 13, nick a point away at Wycombe and Mansfield lose 2-0 to FGR. Hopefully the good luck continues and we keep capitalising.
I’m optimistic, finally put a team to the sword today and we’re unbeaten in 6 now. I would’ve taken a draw at Newport, but with this momentum, and their loss v Crewe, I think we’ll get 3pts.

I'm also glad Swindon messed up - if we don't get 3rd place, I'd like to avoid them in the play offs. After today's results, I am feeling optimistic about the rest of the season. Win at Newport, and the whole fanbase will be 'expectant'.
I still have us at 10-15% chance of overcoming both NC and Wycombe.

When we’re 6pts off 3rd with a game in hand? We’re currently in the middle of a hot streak too. The teams around us have to play one another so if we keep our form up, we’ll definitely make up points on 3rd.
I say this, whilst I’m ‘predicting’ that we’ll finish 4th. A 3rd place finish is doable.
Who put sour milk in your tea mate?

Same here. If Swindon can get knocked out of the picture, then great.

I’m also glad they and Lincoln messed up too. We’re only 2pts behind Exeter, but my worry was that one slip up would see us fall out the playoff spots, so it’s good to build an insurance policy.
I could be totally wrong, but I think both Swindon and Mansfield will miss out on playoffs and Lincoln will finish 7th. I think all the teams around them have profited from the transitions they’re making with management changes.

Mansfield - captain sent off, and Danny Rose off with an ankle injury (potential ligament damage). The footballing gods are blowing a Sky Blue wind in our opponents faces. I love it !!

Newport now 10 points off playoffs so they're basically out of it. Hopefully that gives us a better chance next week.
Otis
Well-Known Member
Agree.
Could knock a bit of stuffing out of them and that was only their 3rd home defeat of the season.
A win for us and we gain points because others play each other.

Notts County v Wycombe next week. I think we have to hope that Wycombe don't win. A draw would be ideal but if by some miracle Chesterfield beat County tomorrow then Notts beat Wycombe while we win at Newport then we're three points behind with a game in hand.

If Chesterfield win or hold Notts County to a draw tomorrow, it’ll be the perfect weekend for us.
We also have a game in hand on Wycombe! Ideally, I want a draw, but I wouldn’t mind a Notts win because they play Accrington on the Easter Monday - hopefully killing the momentum they’d get before playing us.

Notts County won’t tomorrow and they both have games against direct rivals to play.
Otis

Notts County play tomorrow though. It's sort of a game in hand, but not really. They are just playing today's game late.
Back to parity tomorrow.
Otis

Yeah, but I like the idea of gaining points on both clubs.

Yeah funny that how results go our way, when we are on a good run. Funny that..not!

It was just 3/4 weeks ago you didn’t think we would make play offs. And I think I reminded you it changes very quickly and past form means jack shit.
Citing, poor away form, can’t beat teams at bottom, can’t string together unbeaten run.

Do you?
You are all over the place!
I still think it's a hard ask and I have said all along we need other teams to fail and today they did. Long may it continue. They keep dropping points and we keep winning, then of course automatic promotion is on.
A few teams wobbling at the moment.

Am I really? Unlike you I believed 3rd place was a realistic. I believed we would go on a good run. Unlike you.
I always believed we would get play offs minimum.
How am I all over the place.
Your the one after 3 consecutive defeats saying. Automatics impossible. And play offs unrealistic. Your all over the place and change your opinion on a weekly basis my friend.
