Only we and Accrington have won our last 2 games. All to play for.

Why are Lincoln above us when goal difference is the same?
1. They have played more games
2. We’ve won more games than them
3. C is before L in the alphabet
4. We beat them when we played

Goals scored is the next split usually if goal difference is the same.

Ouch. Imagine missing out on play offs due to lake of goals scored and having the best defence in the league

That scenario would cause an Eerie silence.

Can’t complain too much if your manager is setting you up like you’re playing Barca at home when it’s Barnet or Crewe you are actually playing.

It won't matter as long as we beat Lincoln at home, I think they will also take their eye off the ball soon, as they have the Checkatrade trophy final to think about

Having a cup run didn't affect their promotion push last season. We need to take something from Luton on Tuesday.

Inevitable that their players won't want to get injured or suspended with the prospect of a final at Wembley. Should work to our advantage.

Depends when the rearranged fixture date is - Checkatrade final is 8th April (Otis has spare train tickets for this). Ideally I want to play them just before or straight after (when they're either down, as they've lost to Shrewsbury, or drunk because they've won it!)

Just looked and we won't play them just before. The weekend before their Wembley game is Easter, so we both play on the Friday and the Monday.

Can't see anyway they could force a game on Wednesday or Thursday on top of the 2 games in 3 days and we then have a game on the Saturday, before their final.

Much more likely to be the Tuesday or Wednesdayafter their Wembley visit.

As the final is on a Sunday, Lincoln won't agree to a Tuesday game - but I would be happy with the Wednesday - Lincoln will still feel a bit shattered mentally, That said - if they are 'happy' to play us on the Tuesday - bloody great!!
