Will be nice to get something from Peterborough next week, but even if we lose, hopefully we won't drop into the bottom 4, with Crewe having a difficult game against Sheffield Utd.
Following that, consecutive games against Orient, Notts County, and Colchester. Win 2 of those and we should be nearly safe.
3 massive games in succession.

We can go to Peterborough and pick up 3 points, particularly as we seem better away from home at the moment. Also last two games are Crewe and Crawley, the points are there to be won.

12 points from those 4 and the march to the arch dream is back on. I'm going to book the hotel just in case

Wow I didn't know that. If we can manage to win all three of them 6 pointers them 18 points should have us in a playoff position.

As I said on BBC CWR last night, games against the bottom clubs are more dangerous than games against mid table sides. People are saying we have an easy end to the season. Do we shite. We have a bloody hard one. Notts, Orient, Crawley, Colchester, Crewe, they all have something to play for, which makes them much more dangerous. I would much rather be playing teams like Rochdale, who are safe and have nothing to play for. These are crucial games which we cant afford to lose, but anyone who thinks this is gonna be a walk in the park needs to think again

If we do, we'll have to rely on other results, cus Crawley are staying up. Mark my words. We can only hope either we're safe, or they're safe. If they have nothing to play for, we'll be ok

Yep, really you want to be playing midtable sides with little to play for, as opposed to those teams absolutely desperate for points.

For some reason yesterday Doncaster wanted it more than us and that should never ever have been the case.

We need players, the team that played yesterday is about as good as it gets, can add Tudguy and a fit (don't laugh) Johnson but that's about it. As said we need atleast 3 outfield players and a goalkeeper atleast as back-up to Burge

And that's really worrying, because on the whole we have done nothing but complain about those two players.

Towards the end of the game, we were hoofing it a lot and it just wasn't sticking up front. It was all just coming straight back at us

When playing the long ball game on a pitch like ours, Tudgay really helps

I just had a quick look at Peterborough's match report (yes, I am that sad) and have seen that both of their first choice centre backs are out. One suspended (sent off yesterday) and their better centre back (Zakuani, who they are all raving about) is away on international duty. Take anything we can!

Getting my ticket for Notts County tomorrow and hoping for a win, but we really have to get at least one win/one draw from Orient and Colchester (preferably the win versus Orient).

I really wouldn't bank on us picking up anything against Crawley (unless they're 100% safe - and even then I wouldn't feel confident). As for Crewe, recent history suggests disappointment! Let's be safe by then, please.

The one big factor in all this is TM. With him at the helm of this shower of misfits I'm sure we will do enough and then it's down to next season and a little matter of securing TM's services.

A few interesting games in there though and I just hope we don't have a nail biting time of it based on yesterday. based on the last two away games it's a walk in the park!

Yes and no. Doncaster had nothing to play for on Saturday.

Of all the teams near the bottom we are the ones with at least a bit of momentum (Saturday aside) - new manager, (relative) new lease of life for some players (Nouble, Fleck etc), new impact player like Grant. I'd imagine most at the bottom will be fearing playing us.

That's not strictly true.

They are now just 4 points off the play-off positions and are right back in the mix for a top 6 place.

Considering every team in this division still has something to play for, I'd much rather we play the teams that have been consistently shit over the season as opposed to the play off and promotion chasers.
