if the form at the bottom of your post are correct - WWLLWWWLLWWWW
We are changing them draws into wins ! 9 wins out of 13 is not bad going - 27 points out of 39 = just over 2 points per game, promotion form
7 wins out of the last 9. If we repeat that over our last 9 games we will get to 89 points. One more win and we might just sneak it. |

I think we can only afford to drop 4 points 5 at the most,
That would give us 90 or 91 points,
We have a better goal difference than Rovers so they might need 92 points,
If they reach that total, well good luck to them,
We will just have to win the play offs,
BTW Does anybody know what the champions receive in prize money,
Compared to winning the play offs ?

after the highly unlikely results on Saturday, anything can happen against any team. We are likely to lose a game against someone we are expected to beat as will others.

Very true.
And look at Barnet. At one point they were a mile clear of the pack and could do no wrong. It looked like they would run away with it and were by far the best team in the division. Yet now I think they have lost 5 of their last 7 or 8 matches. All teams have a bad run sooner or later.
I think it's still possible for us.
Ron, can you word your last sentence a bit different please,not sure if you mean us win the title or us have a bad run  . |

We've nothing to fear IMO, well not at this stage anyway. Keep the momentum going and the 3 points keep accumulating I'm sure the teams around us will drop points. That said, I'm fairly confident we will too but one thing I will say is it won't be through lack of effort. The players look like they genuinely appreciate the effort the fans are putting in and relishing playing in front of the black and white army. I see Pitman say that this is the first time he's enjoying his football in 3 years - hardly surprising is it? I'm sure this is what you dream of as a lower league pro. Like others pointed out Mansfield won the league from a very similar position as us a few years back, so it is possible. If next Saturday goes our way... Things really could get exciting I do need to stop fantasying over a Augero style last minute winner on the last day by Magnay though  |

Both are possible, but I am hoping it's the former rather than the latter that applies in our case..... |

I was thinking the exact same thing. When you look at it laid out like that, it is a pretty impressive run of results. Whilst it still seems improbable to me, as acko indicated earlier, maybe we can do what Mansfield did a couple of years back. They looked very unlikely champions for much of that season and tho I wouldn't bet my house on it, we are in with a fighting chance. UTM |

This League truly is a marathon and not a sprint. We've always topped the table too early, a wobble is always around the corner and Bristol are due one, if it hits home now it shouldn't be too much of a surprise. We have to go on on a winning run, and a little rub of the green is always helpful.
A 1500 meter race is a better analogy, the winner invariably takes the leader on the last bend.

One thing is for sure. The league is tighter than it has been in previous seasons and there is no impossible to catch, runaway leader. Any of the top 5 can still win it and i think the top spot may change hands a few times now. Nobody is winning games comfortably, except maybe FGR, who are in great form. If only Hannah had buried that chance there at 1-1......................................
