…..to guarantee promotion.
And with the form SW are on, I don’t think we’ll even need that many - imagine 94 will easily be enough |  |

Yes, that’s what I was thinking earlier today. It’s imperative that we win on Tuesday but then probably only need two wins from the last four.
Wednesday look resigned to the play-offs (their fans hardly celebrated the second goal yesterday) but we still have a bit to do. |  |

I can see a scenario where we know that, even if not mathematically at the time, a win at barnsley sends us up. |  |

Noticed that for Wednesday’s second goal. Hardly any reaction from their fans at all. They appear to be a broken and angry fanbase. Just now on owlstalk there’s fans talking of taking a mental health break from watching them. Along with rumors of dressing room unrest, wages being paid late, the chairman slagging off players. Assume they weren’t talking of such things six weeks ago.
Despite them having an aging squad who seem to mainly lump it forward, still can’t help feel they’re a lucky deflection away from turning results around. They’re certainly not out of it. |  |

Things should look slightly clearer after Tuesday’s games. Feel that’s going to be pivotal. Unless all four of us win… surely that won’t happen. Will it? | |

Yep, focus on Tuesday, worry about the last 4 games after that.
I still have nightmares about Crewe in April 1999. |  |

All three of them are away. None of those fixtures are straightforward by any means. I'll privately be a little disappointed if none of them drop points. Obviously, we need to make sure we pick up three. |  |

If that is the case, I'd rather the loss be against anyone other than Barnsley |  |

The other 3 of the top 4 have awkward aways so you'd hope points are dropped there somewhere.
Would be nice to have a little bit of breathing space before two tough trips ourselves where you'd have to say we'd do incredibly well to get through them without dropping any points.
Can't get ahead of ourselves though, just need to do the business with each game as it comes. |  |

Yes, they’re still going to finish at around two points a game but it probably doesn’t feel like that at the moment. If they don’t win on Tuesday (and we do) then anything else may be too late.
There were incredibly good defensively earlier in the season and still only conceded 17 times since January 1, just that 11 if those were in the last eight games. Only three in the ten games before that. | |

Yeah agreed. I said earlier I think another 9 points will comfortably see us over the line. If we manage that then Barnsley/Wednesday would have to pick up maximum points to finish above us. If Lincoln can do their usual trick against a top 4 side on Tuesday then I think Barnsley are all but done assuming we win. Ditto Wednesday if they don't win at Bristol Rovers.

At this stage, Wednesday look resigned to the play offs but, before our current run, we had only won one league game in eight. Things can turn around quickly.
Plus, even with Wednesday out of the picture, we still have Plymouth and Barnsley to worry about. | |

I tend to agree. 3 wins & 2 draws is definitely enough, but it could require less. I am a bit concerned about Barnsley, if they get a win at Lincoln - then we would likely need at least a draw and maybe a win. I do not expect Wednesday to be in the running, as they look finished. I don't see us overtaking Plymouth, unless we finish so well that Sheff Wed and Barnsley end up well below us. | | | |

I dont think we can discount Barnsley- even if Wednesday dont turn their form around from here, Barnsley are already in form and effectively are in the same position as Wednesday.
The fact that one of their remaining games is against us is definitely driving them on- their fans are looking at Peterborough to take points off us and then turn it into a decider with us. Whilst Im confident about our ability, its going to be a really tough game with a full crowd against a good team and anything can happen.
But get through Tuesday first I guess. | | | |

We need to keep our feet on the ground innit.
Well, the staff do, I guess us fans can get excited after a six nil whomping and amazing form currently. But yes, it's really about taking one game at a time including what happens to our rivals, and not looking ahead to permutations, and going all out in every game.
Concentration, nerves of steel and guts will see us over the line. |  |

Weve been through enough on this journey this season to know that a lowly side can nick a goal, sit on it and we just cant find a way through no matter how hard we try.
Id like to believe we are better than that now, but we know whats possible and it could happen on Tuesday even. Get through each game. | | | |

This. Maybe those who've 'worked out how many points will do it' were not around then? This Club had been to close, too many times, from the mid 70's , 81', and the biggest one to me, 05'. I'm sure KMK has the lads focused on one game at a time. | | | |

Barnsley have one of the hardest away games on Tuesday. We could.. could be 6 points ahead of them come 10pm. |  |

That was a terrible day. A Venus missed penalty if I recall. We then lost at Brum. The first of many last day promotion shoot-outs for second place followed v Sheff U while Bradford were at Wolves. We're definitely due to avoid play-offs in that scenario. [Post edited 16 Apr 2023 20:09]

Their situation is fascinating; from literally half a season unbeaten and cruising along with games in hand. To 1 win in 8 and in complete meltdown. Shows the power of negative momentum. While we have clicked seemingly at just the right time. Of course, anything can happen in what is now 4 or 5 game season. Haven’t felt this alive since the Burley days.
