With 10-ish games left for most, the run ins look a bit clearer. Sone things that jump out:-
1) Sheff Wed have a very favourable next 6 games, and need to win 5 of those to reach 76 points. They are also in decent form, so looks like they’ll pick up a play off place and could do so before they have to play any of the top teams.
2) That leaves Oxford, Plymouth, Sunderland, Wycombe and us fighting for 2 spots. Oxford are in great form, and we’ve only made up 2 points on them in the last 10 games, but they only have to lose one game and it’s back it’s in our hands. Away at theirs feels like a must win. Plymouth have a horrendous run in. Sunderland and Wycombe have decent run ins, but are in patchy form. We’re in great form but still have ground to make up, and goal scoring could ultimately cost us.
3) Our next 4 games will determine if we’re still in the race.
7 wins from 10 needed. Can we do it? COYBs!!!! | | | |

That’s a very good summary bluestandard. The one thing that can be guaranteed in this league is it’s unpredictability. Still feel there will be plenty of unexpected twists and turns in the run in. | |

said on another thread, that even though we sit 9th, 5 points away from 6th, with the teams we have left to play, and number of home games, it almost feels like its in our hands!
(which sounds silly i know)
off topic slightly, when you look at MK dons, makes you wonder, we had Manning under our noses the whole time |  |

Thanks for taking the time to do this. It’s going to be tough for us to get into 6th place. I just hope we can keep the excitement going until the final game of the season. [Post edited 6 Mar 2022 7:47]

na sod that, get it sealed and top 6 sorted before last game, so we can relax before the business gets serious | |

One thing in our favour is 6 home games and only 4 away. But no matter how much you analyse it, it all comes down to one thing, which is that we just need to be the best team for the last 10 matches of the season. Each match is 1 team v 1 team, and I think we have the players and manager to win any of those 10 matches. It is in our hands. |  |

Next 4 games are vital win those 4 and playoffs are ours to throw away , get 10 pts which is the minimum I believe required and it will go down to what happens in the games between those around us |  | | |

Looking at that list, if we keep up our current form you'd anticipate catching Plymouth (hard games in general) and Wycombe (mix of hard games and tricky aways). Then it gets a bit sticky. I can see 7 "should wins" for Sunderland down there, Wednesday's run in is a breeze, MK Dons are gone, Oxford also looking pretty relentless.
We're going to need one of those three to actively choke, rather than just lose points to normal attrition. |  |
