I still think automatics are a bridge too far.
Need to have a fantastic finish to the season to achieve it and also for a team or two to have a wobble.
It's an 8 point gap. Would take around 5 wins in a row to make up that I would say.
Last night gives faint hope. Had we lost it would have been 14 points and you can all but mathematically call it off. Now we're 8 points with a game in hand you never know. Beat Lincoln on Saturday and that will be them almost out of it and Mansfield might find things tricky now, Notts county have been slipping for a a while. Things go our way on Saturday and we could be 5 points off with a game in hand.I still think automatics are a bridge too far.

Yep. Need to keep winning and hope they drop points.I would agree. Though we have a decent run in.
The teams around us look to have more difficult fixtures between now and the end of the season. The question isn't whether they will drop points, it's whether we can keep picking enough up, tall order.
I'm sure a lot of those teams still have managers don't they?Rivals are playing one another most weeks which will give us an advantage as there will always be teams dropping points. I hope Luton win all (but one) of their games, they play Stanley on the 10th which could drop them back into the mix.
During March Mansfield have:
Stevenage away
Lincoln home
Colchester home
County away
FGR away
Stanley away
All without a manager.
Agree and 1 of those wins really needs to be against Lincoln in order to put some distance between ourseleves and them.Unfortunately 12 games left is enough time for us to get within a couple of points of autos and then completely screw it up and finish 8th.
Long way to go yet - but i think everyone agrees 7 points from 3 home games and we'll be happy in a couple of weeks time

Yup. One win and it's gone mental again and talk of automatic promotion.‘We’ are like a bunch of overtired over emotional toddlers. Lose a game and it’s the end of the world. Win a game and it’s champions league in 3 years.
Haha didn't even mean it in a negative/that's what will happen way!That's the spirit!

More in the way that there is just a long way to go...
12 games is enough for us to drop to to 15 points behind autos then finish 4th still! (is that better?)
That's exactly what Wycombe have done in the last 5 matchesYep. Need to keep winning and hope they drop points.
5 wins in a row for us would equate to 15 points obviously.
Wycombe are 8 points ahead in 3rd. Mansfield 6 points ahead in 4th. Accrington are 11 points clear in 2nd.
So, assume we win 5 in a row and bag 15 points. Wycombe in 3rd in those 5 fixtures would need to only win 2, draw 1 and lose 2 to secure 7 points.
Already 8 clear, us winning 5 in a row and their only winning 2 out of 5 would have us neck and neck on the same points.
I know it isn't just about 5 games in a row, there's 12 games to achieve that turnaround, but just wanted to show how difficult it is.
If there were 15 or 16 games left I would have a lot more faith, but with only 12 left it's a massive, massive ask.
That's exactly what Wycombe have done in the last 5 matches
Yeah and in our last 5 we have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 3 and in those 5 games we've only scored 1 from open play, the other 3 goals were all pens.And that's what I am saying. Wycombe win only two out of five and us win all five just to get on level terms with them.
Massive ask just to reach parity.

It’s amazing how this has turned around , at one point when we were losing at Mansfield it felt like we were almost dead and buried , but 4 points later and hopefully 3 Saturday will see us (winning our game in hand ) In touching distance of the top 3 again .
And with our run in , you would have to on paper back city to push for the automatics .
Lose Saturday and I still think that playoffs is where we will finish .
Unreal how it’s changed , have to go at Lincoln Saturday as they couldn’t deal with it at Sincil bank .
Win Saturday city will finish 3rd
Lose Saturday I predict a 4 th placed finish
We can do it PUSB
