Good win, mostly comfortable but just need to be a bit more clinical. Clarke Harris decision making is poor but he's far more of a threat than Biamou, pulls defenders away and makes room for others.

Good news is that we are almost mathematically safe from being relegated - Chesterfield and Grimsby would have to win all their games to catch us, and Barnet can't catch us!

Good win today, we deserved a 3rd but credit to them they did well to keep us to 2. JCH and McNulty look very good upfront...if only we had Jones to throw into the mix as well!

All credit to them, starting to believe a little now
I believe in the playoffs, but still think the automatic places might just be too much for us.

Notts County are wobbling, but we need to overtake Wycombe too and so too Mansfield. The latter though are now just two points ahead of us.

One game at a time. No games easy with lots of teams still fighting for points. But keep winning and others will occasionally slip up.
Agree playoffs most likely but anything still possible.

Though, on just checking, Wycombe do still have to play Accrington, Notts County and Lincoln.

I've had a quick look at the rivals fans forums.

Such as:
Only, have you seen the easy run-ins of Coventry, Lincoln and Swindon? I think automatic will need 81 and play-offs about 76pts. If we don't win this one, we'll have to take the other big 6pt clashes.

And Swindon have third place in their sights. They have a game in hand on Notts County and have to play them, so thats the 6 point deficit made up.

Grimsby fans arent expecting anything from next week. No wins in 18. They got one point in Jan, one point in Feb and have already got their one point for March.

Slade has truly wreaked havoc.

Automatic promotion is well and truly within our reach. Another 4-6pts from our next two games please!

Good win but we are still leaving ourselves with much to see out each game. Think if Baker can produce some form in the last 6 games or so he might actually take that pressure off us as he is certain to get the odd goal or two.
It's very tight who could still get 3rd place and the pressure will show in the next few. To throw away a play off place would of course be criminal.
Going to be an interesting run in. What are the bookies saying?

I think we should be aiming for the play-offs at least, but also hope that some of the teams below us don't go on too much of a late charge - for instance, Carlisle have got 11 points from their last 5 games, just like us.

Did Clarke-Harris score ? some have it down as a Og ?
BBC reported as at an OG, but PA report said he got it.

Anyway, great to get a win in very tough conditions. Well done lads and to all who travelled and sat/stood through that in the snow. Onwards and upwards!
