8 of the 11 are from the top 2 teams (as you would expect I suppose) but it doesn't leave much room for any one else

That ought to be enough, 2 wins and a draw would also give us a half reasonable chance.

Looking at the table with only 4 games left for those below us, it's looking like low 70's will make 7th. maybe as low as 71/72. Mansfield 1 point in the last 5 games, Swindon 4 points in the last 5 games. The only other teams in it, Colchester & Carlisle would need 3 wins and a draw to get to that.

Now all to play for, hopefully results like tonight's will give the team some confidence to relax a bit and get back to winning.

This is what I meant

some responses make you wonder why you bother posting

No I'm not contradicting myself, I'm not saying being beaten by Yeovil was a one-off, I'm saying them scoring 6 goals against the best defense in the division is a one-off.

Yeovil can help us get promotion or at least get in the playoffs, they are on a good run of form taking 7 points from the last 3 games, against us, Exeter, & Colchester. They still have to play Luton, Swindon, Stanley, Notts C, and Wycombe and after watching them yesterday who wouldn't bet on...

We will win 2-0

Yeovil had 7 shots on target and scored with 6 of them. Yes we were awful but the scene was set in the first 10 minutes with 2 mistakes which were punished clinically. Games like this happen from time to time. We will beat Notts C on Saturday.

Light rain now forecast for tomorrow afternoon.

I will be on holiday in Spain during the playoff dates, assuming we are in the playoffs will I be able to watch the games on Ifollow if I take out the match passes? I assume I won't need a VPN as I will be using the local wifi in the hotel. I assume I won't have a problem paying with a UK bank...

Newport - draw Yeovil - win Notts C - draw Crawley - loss Stevenage - win Lincoln - win Cheltenham - win Morecombe - win 17 points 81 total, might be enough for 3rd but more likely 4th. Edit, we will win the playoffs

Yeovil won't be too worried at the moment, they are 8 points clear of the bottom 2 with 2 games in hand over several below them. If they lose 3 or 4 on the trot they may start to worry but we will have played them by then.

Could you imagine Sunderland's reaction?

Actually Swindon have a very similar run in to us, but Lincoln play Exeter, Wycombe, Accrington, and us

But surely we are not too bothered who make up the top 7 places as long as we are one of them. Lincoln are currently 3 points adrift of us and Swindon 4 points. That is a lot to make up in 8 games as long as we stay on form and get the results we expect.

Without bothering to look at Luton & Accrington, its looking to me like: Wycombe 82 points Notts C 78 points Exeter 80 points Mansfield 78 points 6 wins required by us to have any realistic chance of autos I think, and possibly a draw as well unless we can rack up at least a couple of 3-0 wins

Notts C found to their cost yesterday how difficult games involving teams fighting relegation can be. Of our remaining fixtures only 2 teams are genuinely fighting for something, Notts C & Lincoln are currently the only teams we play with a realistic chance of the playoffs, Newport & Crawley...

Its more our style of play though, why we don't get more from midfield. There is no reason why the likes of Reid, and even Kelly if he gets forward like he did on Saturday can't score one or two.
