The final four. Will it be autos or will it be the lottery of the playoffs? If you do make the autos you’ll have done it the hard way, having to face 4 of the current top 8 in the last four games. Wrexham have the luxury of a couple of easier games. I fear you’ll have to go via the lottery. Good luck. Will you come up and play us next season in the Champ? Will you miss out and we come back down so we meet in L1? Who knows? This really is the business end of proceedings. Nothing will come easily.

Thanks @Raminpeace. I’ve said for a few weeks now that I thought 90 points could be enough. I now think we’ll need 91, so three wins and a draw from the last four. I could easily see us drawing either Bolton or Orient away, so there is little margin for error here. (I think Wrexham could win 3 of their last 4, hence us needing that 91st point to pip them on GD.)
Ultimately our chances look better then they did a few weeks back and, if we do fall into the playoffs, we’ll be going in with a more settled formation and starting XI (whether fans like the style or not). We shouldn’t fear any of the other teams in the POs if that’s where we end up.
I’m sure the nerves are jangling in Derbyshire at the moment, especially with your huge game to come against Luton on Friday. Good luck for your battle for survival!
Hope you scrape a win on friday which should be enough to keep you up. I will be sorry for Bloomfield, but I do hate that club intensely.

We’ll do our best to accommodate
The calm, before the storm.
Just enjoy it boys and girls. As has been alluded here and 2.0 many times, if we were offered playoffs back in August, we would off ripped off the hand offering us it, painted it blue and waved it, gleefully, at the Franchise north of the County.

Interestingly, if we draw against both Stockport and Charlton they cannot finish ahead of us, unless there was an 11 goal swing in Charlton’s favour.
Potentially three draws could be enough to get promoted if Wrexham were to win one, draw one and lose to Charlton.
However, if we lost to both Stockport and Charlton and beat Orient we could still finish behind Stockport & Charlton.
Permutations everywhere!
If we lose all three games we could still go up.
