Next two games 10:44 - Apr 12 with 2561 views | Reus30 | This time next week, we will have a rough idea of the championship bound sides. Plymouth have their trickiest fixtures and we certainly have a very tricky one this weekend. If Plymouth win both of those away games, I can't see them not being champions. If we win both and Plymouth drop points, boy oh boy will I be excited. Almost full chub. SW have an easy ride but I just don't think they will do it. Chokers. [Post edited 12 Apr 2023 10:45]

Fleetwood aside, we've now got a run of teams who'll look to play against us - and we know that footballing sides tend to play to our strengths. Wednesday are away against Burton, Bristol, and Shrewsbury, all of whom have the potential to make things difficult and present a real challenge to them. |  |

Next two games on 10:52 - Apr 12 with 2450 views | Metal_Hacker | Goes without saying the next 7 days or so will be quite pivotal Should we win the next two home games it piles the pressure on both the other two sides albeit they then have home games whilst we’re away but we’d have points in the bag all things being equal The next two games for us are huge as are all at this stage of the season obviously but these next two are massive IMHO regardless of opponent , get 6 points and we’ll be in a very good place Plenty of twists and turns for all concerned |  |

Next two games on 11:00 - Apr 12 with 2408 views | clive_baker | I'm sure we'll be saying the same this time next week as we look ahead to Peterborough and Barnsley away, 2 good sides in form. That said if we can take 6 points from these 2 home games I'll be very surprised if we're not in the top 2 come 10pm Tuesday night, perhaps even top 1. Whether we stay there or not through the final 4 is a different question, but we do have the game in hand over Wednesday. If we're already above them as we go to Barnsley for that GIH then we'll be in a great spot, and a draw there is probably then a very good result. |  |

Yes, I don't expect much to be clear after the next two but it's just imperative that we win both of our games. That means more than turning up just expecting to win which the players won't do, fans need to be supportive too but I think we'll be ok. Neither of those two away matches is going to be easy but I'm less concerned by them than I was about Cheltenham on Monday. |  |

Next two games on 11:17 - Apr 12 with 2298 views | SomethingBlue | Don't think Wednesday have such an easy ride — and I wouldn't want to be facing Derby on the last day, whether home or away, if something was riding on it for both. That game jumps out at me as 50/50 if the status quo remains roughly the same. I'm nervous about Charlton, it has the feel for me of a game in which we concede first, think there'll be a few goals out there and hopefully everyone is up for a bit of a ding-dong as I sense we might see one. We'll be looking very good if we win the next two but I think there'll be at least one strange result apiece between now and the conclusion. |  |

Next two games on 11:46 - Apr 12 with 2171 views | davblue | I'm a pessimist i think we've had an outstanding run just to get back into contention, but still feel we will end up in the play offs unfortunately. We are a very good side at this level and it's been great to watch certainly this last 7 or 8 weeks, lets hope we can keep it up and bring it home. Think we have 5 really tricky games, Port Vale i think is the easiest on paper but they will probably turn us over now! I can vividly remember the feeling around the stadium after the Plymouth home game, waiting to get out of the Cobbold stand and the silence around the place, almost a we've blown it. I really hope we don't have an experience like that in the next few weeks |  | |  |

Also worried about Charlton. They’re scoring goals, will be relaxed and will be up for an upset. We haven’t conceded first in two months so we might need to find a way to react. Revenge for the 4-4 has never been more important. I’m more worried about Charlton than I am about posh and Barnsley away. |  |

Boro the only one for me,need broadhead back very good footballer Cheltenham I said draw horrible little ground Always gusty Pitch is worse than park pitches here, Draw an ok result, Our form won't drop because of that, Relentless to the end I'm afraid, |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

It’ll be a surprise now if it doesn’t go right to the last game. Can quite easily see at least three of the top four winning four each of their remaining games. Goal difference, goal difference, goal difference…. |  |

You're right. It's not imperative we win the next game (would be nice obvs) but all that matters...ALL that matters, is being in the top 2 at 2pm on the 7 May. I won't panic, I refuse...a lot can change in 6 games. |  | |  |
Next two games on 14:06 - Apr 12 with 1555 views | Bluroo | I've had a few goes with the league calculator and even putting in losses to Barnsley and Peterbro (which I don't think will happen), it still looks plausible to me that we can finish above Sheff Wed. It's almost as if I'm more concerned about Wendies results at this point, starting with them taking no more than a point away to a resurgent Burton on Sat. Come on you Brewers!!! |  | |  |

I know what you mean, but don’t forget that in the last round of games in the 99/20 season, we were promoted at half time only to see Man City come from behind to beat Blackburn and unjustly take 2nd place from us. The feeling leaving FPR that afternoon was grim but we all know what came next…. |  | |  |

I hope I’m wrong, I can’t tell you how much I hope I’m wrong. Would be nice to see an Ipswich team walk through the front door for once, rather than the side door in my lifetime! |  | |  |

It's so close at the moment, but there will be a round of games where a team loses and the others win, shifting the balance enormously. Let's hope we're on the right side of that for once! |  |
