We need at least 6 points I think.
And 3 asbolutely huge games up next. Lincon, Wycombe and Mansfield.
We are 10th at the moment. Could go one of 2 ways. Back in the saddle, or cut adrift.
Yeah, probably. A win and 2 draws would be okay though I think. Should at least keep us within touching distance.We need at least 6 points I think.
Just the one position though, OSB, Before it was looking a lot healthier.We are 3 points and goal difference off the playoffs.

i am very worried about the Wycombe game. I know we beat them here, but i am expecting an absolute bombardment from them.
The have scored 10 goals in their last 3 home games (4, 3 and 3)
We are dropping further away though. Yep, still 3 points, but now only one team on that 3 point gap.All this bollocks from everyone we need 6points from next two games. Lol.
Toughest two games on paper. I think we need 7 points from next 4 games.
After watching 2nd half vs Colchester and Brighton away we have nothing to fear.
But I wouldn’t say Wycombe and Mansfield are must win.
The Lincoln and Barnet games at Home are MUST win.
Maybe we need to score more goals than the opposition to win games to get the three points?My insight on this is that we need to get more points than the teams 8th and below by the end of the season, and to get there we need to win more games than the teams around us between now and the end of the season.

You do also have to factor in pressure.
Say we draw the next 2. That would be 5 games without a victory and surely leave us further points adrift. That then in turns puts more pressure on you in having to win games and also it damages morale if you are not winning.
I think we can expect 2 wins from the next 2, but we could seriously do with 1 win at least.
Next week's fixtures favour all our rivals. I know there are no easy games in this league as such, but all our rivals have very favourable matchups.
I know what you are saying, but lose the next 2 we could be a number of points adrift of even 7th and like I say, the damage to morale could be massive.
It doesn't work like that though does it, we beat Luton but it doesn't mean we go above them.The must win game is Lincoln. End of. They are challengers for 5/6/7 th place.
Mansfield nad Wycombe are challenging for Autos.
Lincoln is MUST not lose that is a Massive game.

We could beat Lincoln and lose every other game while Lincoln win all of theirs.
If we want promotion, every game is must win. Fed up of this playing for a draw nonsense.
6 points from 4 games would surely not have us creeping into 7th would it?I’m looking at it as a 4 game block.
Mansfield, Wycombe, Lincoln and Barnet.
We need 6/7 points from these four games. That would mean we creep into 7th place at end of this 4 game block.
Wycombe is one of our games in hand. I’d take two draws away in next two games. Then make moves vs Lincoln and Barnet.
The way we have improved and players are showing signs positives of getting over illness and injury. I’m positive we may even beat Mansfield or Wycombe.
6 points from 4 games would surely not have us creeping into 7th would it?
I would very much doubt that. We are already 3 points behind 7th.
I would say we certainly need a lot more than 6 to be in the playoff positions.
Away at Wycombe, which you said we cannot expect to win.One of those games is our game in hand.
Bollocks we need to win them all.All this bollocks from everyone we need 6points from next two games. Lol.

Exactly, other teams competing won't be settling for draws. They all want the 3 points.Bollocks we need to win them all.
Almost certainly. I'm no Alan Shearer-style pundit but my gut feeling is that over the years we generally haven't done that often enough which has led us to struggle.Maybe we need to score more goals than the opposition to win games to get the three points?
Got to be our target though now all the same.I'm pissed off we're no longer in the auto hunt, that should have been our aim and I'm sure it was robins aim. Play offs are a lottery and don't guarantee promotion.

For me the focus has to be on finishing as high as possible, be that 3rd, 7th etc. The target is promotion by any means so the autos are preferable but P/Os are acceptable. Failing that, since relegation in 2001 we haven't had a single season where we've had a season-long sustained campaign where we were genuinely in contention for promotion so if we can go into the final game or two within touching distance of the P/Os, that'll be acceptable too.Got to be our target though now all the same.
Just think 12 points is too much, so let's just focus on the top 7 and then if we're in the top 7 see where we are then.For me the focus has to be on finishing as high as possible, be that 3rd, 7th etc. The target is promotion by any means so the autos are preferable but P/Os are acceptable.

Ah, your previous post read as if you were saying the autos should be our target! Point taken.Just think 12 points is too much, so let's just focus on the top 7 and then if we're in the top 7 see where we are then.

Accrington’s got 13 games left to play:
Cambridge H
Newport A
Morecambe H
Luton A
FGR H
Yeovil H
Mansfield A
Notts County H
Colchester A
Exter H
Wycombe A
Lincoln H
Swindon A
That’s basically 9 games vs play off contenders. And 3 vs Relegation contenders.
Last 7 games look tough. Ouch. Could easily lose all 7.
I put them on fixtures on another thread they have a horrendous run in.
Low to mid 70's should see us 7th.
Need to target the following games
Lincoln H
Barnet H
Crewe A
Grimsby H
Yeovil H
Crawley A
Stevenage H
Cheltenham A
Morecombe H
Need to win 7 of that 9 and pick up 2 or 3 draws. As long as we can re-group now we have got rid of the cup millstone we have a good chance
Looking back on recent final L2 tables anywhere from 71 to 75 points has been enough for 7th. I have spent most of my life looking at tables at this time of year, (mostly the bottom half) and the points required to make the playoffs or avoid relegation is usually pretty consistent.Have u left out, Mansfield, Wycombe, Luton , Notts and Newport deliberately.
Yes that’s possible. Win 7 out of 14. With 2/3 draws.
But it’s important we beat our rivals for 7th. Ie New port/ Crawley/ lincoln
