    All of the teams above us going for that sixth spot have got some very difficult games to come so points to be dropped, Chesterfield,Peterborough and Rochdale have to come to us and Bradford we have to play on their own turf.
    Its a big ask but can be done, loads of twists and turns to come, the fat ladies not even warmed up yet, you can bet your last penny LJ has not given up on it yet.
    Win on Saturday, other results go our way and who knows?
    Forget the white flag, keep the RED one flying high, we had a carp first half of the season so stick with em and enjoy as long as it lasts.

    At same time who have we beaten in top twelve this year? Very few and got to play majority of games against those teams. Even five wins probably won't do it.

    But I'm going to them all of course. Would love us to do it.

    A top 10 finish would be a good conclusion to what has largely been an underwhelming season. I believe the foundations have been laid to construct a side capable of mounting a more sustained assault on the league next season.

    we're out of the running now for top 6. i just hope that takes the pressure off, and they can give us summat to cheer for the last few games. obviously the cherry would be smashing keef on the last day, to deny them a play off spot

    I might sound like I have been snue gliffing but if we win our games we take 3 points away from them on top of which they all some very very difficult games to come. Fleetwood have the MKs and donny.
    Just have a feeling in my water that win on Sat and it will give us the lift to go on another little run.
    I for one have not given up yet. COYR.

    I think 5 straight wins would do it but I dont think we will get them
    4 of our last 5 games are against top half teams and our record against the top half sides is very poor
    http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/league-one/2014-2015/versus-top-half

    Only averaging 0.8ppg so realistically I cant see us getting any more than 10 points maximum which should just see us into the top 10 or so or more likely and more likely 6 or 7 points and just staying top half
